Sam Darnold News
Monday, April 27, 5:37 AM
Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold won the Super Bowl in his first year with Seattle after rehabilitating his career in one season with the Minnesota Vikings. Darnold finished as the QB14 in 2025 after a top-10 finish in 2024. In both Seattle and Minnesota, he was able to support All-Pro wide receivers, most recently helping Jaxon Smith-Njigba to win the league's Offensive Player of the Year Award. Having topped 25 passing touchdowns only once and never adding more than 217 yards on the ground, though, his own fantasy ceiling may be limited. At RotoBaller's dynasty QB21, Darnold feels accurately priced, and the nine-year veteran should be able to continue delivering reliable QB2 floors. His current deal with Seattle runs through the 2027 season, and he will be almost 31 years old when he gets to that point, so he may not see much of the traditional dynasty bump that comes with a new contract, but barring the unforeseen, he should remain a safe hold for as long as he's tied to Smith-Njigba.

Anthony Richardson Sr. News
Monday, May 4, 11:56 AM
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) reported for voluntary offseason workouts on Monday after he stayed home the last two weeks, a source told Stephen Holder of ESPN. Richardson, whose future is cloudy in Indy, at best, requested a trade this offseason. But the Colts seemingly aren't close to trading him and haven't indicated that they will release him, so the former fourth overall pick has reported to offseason workouts. The Colts unexpectedly declined Richardson's fifth-year option for the 2027 season after he played in just 17 games (15 starts) in his first three seasons in the NFL due to injuries and inconsistency at the QB position. Despite tearing his Achilles tendon late last season, Daniel Jones received a two-year contract extension from the Colts, cementing him as the team's starting QB going forward. Indy is also high on Riley Leonard, so if Richardson sticks around in 2026 in the final year of his rookie deal, he could enter the regular season as the QB3. Richardson's dynasty fantasy value is currently at rock bottom.
