Will Levis News
Saturday, August 1, 4:20 PM
Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis said on Saturday that he's "100 percent" a starting-caliber quarterback in the NFL. "There are not 32 quarterbacks in this league better than me. I know I've put the tape out there already that I'm a dang good quarterback in this league." After a disastrous 2024 season, in which he had 18 turnovers in 12 games, Levis missed the entire 2025 season due to a shoulder injury. The former second-round pick is currently battling former starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky for the backup role behind Cam Ward. If Levis loses this battle, a trade could be in the works for a player who believes he can compete with the best in the world at quarterback.

Cole Payton News
Friday, June 19, 5:50 AM
Eagles quarterback Cole Payton currently sits fourth on the Philadelphia depth chart behind Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, and Andy Dalton, but his long-term fantasy upside is as high as any of the non-first-round quarterbacks selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. Both McKee and Dalton are in the final year of their contracts, and while the former could potentially seek greener pastures elsewhere in 2027, the soon-to-be-39-year-old Dalton may choose to call it a career after his 16th season in the league. Ironically, it is the lefty Payton who is perhaps best equipped to run an offense similar to the one helmed by Hurts, serving as the only other dual-threat quarterback on the roster after rushing for more than 2,000 yards and 30 touchdowns during his collegiate career at North Dakota State. At 6'3" and 223 pounds, and with the luxury of developing behind the scenes, Payton could eventually grow into one of the most fantasy-relevant backup quarterbacks in the league and is a must-stash player in superflex dynasty leagues.
