Taylor Heinicke News
Tuesday, August 26, 8:05 PM
The Los Angeles Chargers have released quarterback Taylor Heinicke, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Heinicke was outplayed in the preseason by Trey Lance, who has made the team and will serve as the backup to Justin Herbert in Los Angeles. The 32-year-old Heinicke has played seven seasons in the NFL and made 29 starts. He's been a capable backup for stretches of his career and should be able to find a new home rather quickly. For fantasy purposes, a Herbert injury would now make Lance a priority waiver-wire addition due to his dual-threat ability at the quarterback position.

Anthony Richardson Sr. News
Saturday, March 14, 8:21 AM
The Green Bay Packers are a "team to monitor" regarding Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., per ESPN's Stephen Holder. Holder reports that no deal is imminent, but that Richardson Sr. is known to be available via trade. The former number four overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft lost his starting role to Daniel Jones (Achilles) heading into the 2025 season, and the Colts recently re-signed Jones to a lucrative new contract. The Packers have Jordan Love firmly in place as their QB1 of both the present and the future. However, Green Bay recently lost former backup quarterback Malik Willis, who signed with the Miami Dolphins in free agency. Richardson Sr. owns a similar dual-threat profile to Willis, so the Packers could be viewing him in a similar mold. Based on the job Green Bay did to rehab Willis after he flamed out with the Tennessee Titans, a trade to the Packers might be the best-case scenario for Richardson Sr.'s long-term outlook.
