Tanner McKee News
Sunday, March 22, 7:13 AM
The Philadelphia Eagles' acquisition of veteran quarterback Andy Dalton does not appear indicative of the trade market for quarterback Tanner McKee, according to Brooks Kubena of The Athletic. While previous reporting suggested McKee might be available for trade, Kubena notes that the addition of Dalton is not an "immediate step" toward another move. It remains to be seen how this entire situation will unfold as the offseason continues. The NFL Draft is a popular time for backup quarterback trades, so we can't rule out the possibility of McKee still being dealt within the next month or so. He has flashed upside at times in Philadelphia, starting the Eagles' Week 18 game in each of the last two seasons. During his start this past year, he completed 21 of 40 pass attempts for 241 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Among all of McKee's suitors, the Jets have been discussed the most. New York is still looking for a backup to Geno Smith.

Jayden Daniels News
Monday, July 27, 5:25 AM
Washington Commanders veterans report to training camp on Tuesday, and a player looking to put a forgettable 2025 season behind him is quarterback Jayden Daniels. Fighting through injuries, both his own and to his supporting cast, Daniels was limited to only 1,540 combined rushing and passing yards and 10 total touchdowns in his seven games played. By contrast, he threw 12 touchdowns to Terry McLaurin alone during a historical rookie campaign, and with both coming into camp healthy after reportedly working together throughout the offseason, expectations are high that they can recapture some of that magic from 2024. Increased under-center usage in David Blough's system could lead to more big plays in 2026, giving Daniels one of fantasy's highest potential ceilings to go with the rock-solid floor provided by his elite scrambling ability. As RotoBaller's QB3, drafters would do well to treat his disappointing 2025 campaign as more of an outlier than a sign of things to come.
