Patrick Mahomes News
Saturday, April 18, 10:34 AM
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes's (knee) status for the start of the 2026 season is currently unclear as he recovers from the torn ACL and LCL he suffered last December. Across 14 games before getting injured, Mahomes II completed 62.7% of his pass attempts for 3,587 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. A large portion of his fantasy value came from his work as a rusher, as he collected 422 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 64 attempts. While Mahomes II remains arguably the best overall quarterback in the NFL, his fantasy production as a passer has not been elite since 2022. If his recovery from major knee surgery limits his effectiveness as a rusher, Mahomes II's short-term value as a must-start quarterback could be in question. Until he proves he's fully recovered from the injury, Mahomes II's dynasty value is trending slightly downward as well.

Zach Wilson News
Tuesday, March 24, 8:18 PM
The New Orleans Saints have signed quarterback Zach Wilson to a one-year contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Wilson and Spencer Rattler will presumably compete for the backup quarterback role behind Offensive Rookie of the Year finalist Tyler Shough. The former No. 2 pick has bounced around the NFL in a variety of depth roles. Ever since losing his starting job with the New York Jets, he has spent time in Denver, Miami, and now, New Orleans. He has attempted just 11 passes since his departure from the Jets, and he has never thrown for more than nine touchdowns in a single season. This is a very low-risk move for the Saints, giving them an experienced yet unproven quarterback to offer additional depth behind Shough. Even if Wilson ends up starting games in 2026, he'll be tough to trust in fantasy football lineups.
