Patrick Mahomes Expected to Participate in OTAs

Sunday, May 3, 5:12 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) is on track to participate in the team's first voluntary offseason practices, as reported by ESPN's Nate Taylor. Less than five months after tearing his ACL and LCL in a Week 15 loss to the Chargers, head coach Andy Reid told reporters on Saturday that Mahomes is on track to participate with his teammates, even if in a limited capacity. Kansas City's first three OTA sessions are scheduled for May 26-28, and Mahomes' expected participation is a great sign for his availability for the 2026 season opener. Mahomes is RotoBaller's QB13 ahead of his 10th year in the NFL, and his status to begin the season will affect the fantasy values of Rashee Rice, Travis Kelce, Kenneth Walker III, and the rest of the Chiefs' offense, so his level of participation is worth monitoring when the team gathers at the end of the month.

Saints Have Not Received Calls on Spencer Rattler

Saturday, March 7, 4:12 AM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler started the first eight games of the 2025 season before being benched in favor of rookie Tyler Shough. Questions now exist about how the 25-year-old, who is still under contract through the 2027 season, fits into the team's future plans, but according to ESPN's Katherine Terrell, the Saints have not received any calls about his potential trade value. Rattler is now 1-13 as an NFL starter, largely assuming the role out of necessity, but it would seem that his future in the league will be that of a backup, either in New Orleans or elsewhere.
