Zach Wilson News
Tuesday, March 24, 8:18 PM
The New Orleans Saints have signed quarterback Zach Wilson to a one-year contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Wilson and Spencer Rattler will presumably compete for the backup quarterback role behind Offensive Rookie of the Year finalist Tyler Shough. The former No. 2 pick has bounced around the NFL in a variety of depth roles. Ever since losing his starting job with the New York Jets, he has spent time in Denver, Miami, and now, New Orleans. He has attempted just 11 passes since his departure from the Jets, and he has never thrown for more than nine touchdowns in a single season. This is a very low-risk move for the Saints, giving them an experienced yet unproven quarterback to offer additional depth behind Shough. Even if Wilson ends up starting games in 2026, he'll be tough to trust in fantasy football lineups.

Bryce Young News
Wednesday, April 29, 11:36 AM
The Carolina Panthers officially picked up quarterback Bryce Young's fifth-year option for the 2027 season on Wednesday, according to Darin Gantt of the team's official website. It was a no-brainer move for the Panthers after Young set new career-highs in passing yards (3,011), touchdowns (23), completion percentage (63.6), and passer rating (87.8). He also had six of his 12 game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime in 2025, and his 12 comeback wins are the most of any QB in the NFL since 2023. While Young still shouldn't be viewed as a legitimate QB1 in fantasy football in 2026, he has proven in recent seasons that he is improving, and he was especially effective late in games and in close contests. The former first overall pick in 2023 is now under contract for the next two seasons in Carolina and has plenty of receiving weapons in Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, Xavier Legette, and rookie Chris Brazzell II to take another step forward as a passer in 2026. Young is a rising high-end QB2 in superflex and dynasty/keeper leagues.
