Taylor Heinicke News
Friday, May 8, 5:24 AM
Veteran quarterback Taylor Heinicke announced his retirement on Thursday through a post on his Instagram page. The 2015 undrafted free agent out of Old Dominion played 11 professional seasons and spent time with eight different teams, including the St. Louis Battlehawks of the XFL. He ends his NFL career with 6,663 passing yards, 42 total touchdowns, and 28 interceptions. Heinicke's last on-field action came in 2024 with the Chargers, while his last start came with the Falcons in 2023. The pinnacle of his career was undoubtedly his 2021 season with Washington, in which he threw for 3,419 yards and 20 touchdowns, good enough for a QB19 fantasy finish.

Cam Ward News
Friday, October 30, 2:29 PM
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward continues to struggle to establish himself as a fantasy option, having thrown for more than 200 yards just once through seven games while failing to record multiple passing touchdowns in any contest. Ward has been particularly disappointing in recent weeks, averaging under 7 fantasy points per game over his last 3 outings, the worst in the NFL. Those numbers would actually place him near WR45 over that time. Cincinnati presents a somewhat favorable matchup for quarterbacks, ranking 15th against the position and having just surrendered respectable fantasy performances to Malik Willis and Tyler Huntley over their last two games. However, Cincinnati's defense ranks seventh in pressure rate, creating additional concerns for a Titans passing offense that has struggled to consistently move the football. Ward remains a desperation play even in Superflex formats and should be left on waivers in standard one-quarterback leagues.
