Quinn Ewers Little More Than a Back-of-Roster Dynasty Handcuff

Sunday, June 21, 5:37 AM

A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Miami Dolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers was given the chance to start the final three games of his rookie season. While he did not look glaringly out of place running an NFL offense, averaging 189.7 passing yards across those starts while throwing three touchdowns and three interceptions, the new Dolphins regime moved quickly to add former Packer Malik Willis on a three-year, $67.5 million deal that would presumably lock him in as the starter for the duration of Ewer's rookie contract. At RotoBaller's QB49, Ewers is still a roster-worthy handcuff in superflex dynasty leagues, though any fantasy consideration he sees is likely to come in a worst-case, emergency situation with no other fill-in options. Even then, his upside will still be capped by his conservative play style and Miami's lack of receiver talent, making him an easy player to move on from for managers facing a roster crunch.

Ty Simpson News

Ty Simpson a Priority Stash for Rebuilding Dynasty Managers

Wednesday, July 22, 10:36 AM

The Los Angeles Rams shocked the NFL world when they selected quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Alabama product was a controversial prospect among draft analysts because of his lack of experience at the collegiate level. Simpson only had 15 starts, which all came in his final year in college. The 23-year-old spent his first three years in Tuscaloosa biding his time as a backup quarterback behind Bryce Young and Jalen Milroe. Simpson now enters the NFL in the best situation imaginable for a young quarterback. He will get to play for an offensive guru in Sean McVay, and he will get to sit and learn behind reigning MVP Matthew Stafford. When Stafford decides to call it a career, Simpson will be able to step into a quarterback-friendly system. It might be risky for a rebuilding dynasty manager to invest in a player who could spend his last five out of six seasons as a backup quarterback if Stafford decides to play two more seasons. However, Simpson's calling card as a quarterback is his High Football IQ and being an elite processor. When he gets a chance, his abilities will slide in smoothly into McVay's system.
