Veteran quarterback Kyler Murray's time with the Arizona Cardinals came to an ugly end in 2025, as he struggled across five starts before suffering a foot injury that ultimately ended his season. However, the 28-year-old is healthy and ready to go entering 2026, and he landed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings over the offseason. While Murray is nominally in a quarterback competition with J.J. McCarthy in Minnesota, the widely held expectation is that Murray will assume the team's QB1 role. With the Vikings, Murray will work with a play-caller in Kevin O'Connell who has orchestrated multiple successful quarterback reclamation projects. Murray also has a pair of excellent wide receivers to throw to in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. While Murray's career has taken a turn for the worse in recent seasons, he still carries high-end dual-threat fantasy upside. Across 17 games in 2024, Murray threw for 3,851 yards and 21 touchdowns while rushing for 572 yards and five scores. If he can stay on the field in 2026, he has a golden opportunity to revitalize his career with the Vikings.--Will Brady

Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur is unbothered and unconcerned by quarterback Jacoby Brissett's absence from OTAs, per Grant Gordon of NFL.com. The veteran signal-caller is entering the final season of his two-year, $12.5 million contract with the Cardinals and is agitating for a new deal. While Brissett has largely operated as a backup to this point in his 10-season NFL career, he currently sits atop the Arizona depth chart. Brissett also performed well after taking over as the Cardinals' QB1 in Week 6 of 2025, throwing for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions across 14 games (12 starts). While it's unlikely that Arizona views the 33-year-old Brissett as its quarterback of the future, he profiles as one of the better stopgap options in the league and would certainly outperform his current contract on the open market. The quarterbacks behind Brissett on the Cardinals depth chart are veteran journeyman Gardner Minshew II and 2026 third-round pick Carson Beck.--Will Brady

New York Giants second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart addressed his teammates in a meeting on Tuesday to discuss his introduction of President Donald Trump last week at a political rally, sources told Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Other team leaders spoke up as well, and Dart and the players worked through what was a very controversial topic of the weekend. The team is moving forward. It was a very questionable decision for the 23-year-old to put himself out there politically like that, and it caused some social-media backlash by defensive lineman Abdul Carter, among others. It's not going to be much of an issue by the time the regular season rolls around, but new head coach John Harbaugh had to do a little damage control for the locker room. On the football field, Dart, a first-rounder in 2025, heads into his first full season as the starter for the G-Men as a low-end QB1 target in fantasy drafts. Despite playing in only 14 games as a rookie, Dart was a top-15 fantasy QB thanks to his impressive dual-threat abilities under center. The Ole Miss product threw for 15 touchdowns and ran for another nine. With a strong group of offensive skill players all around him, Dart is set up for success in 2026 and into the future under Harbaugh.--Keith Hernandez

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) is being limited to 7-on-7 work during OTA practices this week, according to Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star. The fact that Mahomes is even participating at all in voluntary workouts at the end of May is a positive for the Chiefs after he tore his ACL and LCL in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers last year. The 30-year-old superstar is making great progress, and if he continues at this rate, he'll have an excellent chance to play in the Week 1 2026 regular-season opener on Monday Night Football against the division-rival Denver Broncos. The six-time Pro Bowler and two-time MVP has finished as the QB11 in fantasy football in each of the last two years, and there's a chance his top receiver, Rashee Rice (knee), is suspended once again to begin the upcoming season. While we can't put anything past Mahomeboy after his stellar nine-year career so far, he's been trending down in fantasy the last two years and is now coming off major knee surgery. RotoBaller has him viewed as more of a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 target in fantasy drafts later this year. UPDATE: Mahomes said he is working toward being fully cleared for the start of training camp at the end of July.--Keith Hernandez

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is one of the best pure passers in the NFL, but persistent injuries have capped his fantasy upside and raised some questions about his long-term dynasty outlook. Burrow has played 10 or fewer games in two of the last three seasons. Last year, he was healthy for just eight games, as he totaled 1,809 passing yards, 17 passing touchdowns, and five interceptions. Those are great results on a per-game basis, but he ultimately let down many of his fantasy managers as they were forced to pivot to other quarterbacks when he got hurt. A healthy Burrow can be a top-five dynasty quarterback. After all, he was QB4 or higher in each of the two years where he played all 17 games. However, the injury concern is valid, and it has resulted in him falling to QB6 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. He's still a high-upside dynasty quarterback, but he has fallen out of the top three tiers.--Andersen Pickard

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love's dynasty outlook has taken a hit in recent years. Formerly a first-round pick, Love seemed like a top dynasty option after finishing as the QB5 in 2023. However, he has fallen to QB15 or lower in each of his last two seasons, raising questions about whether he can be a top-12 option (and a fantasy starter) going forward. The Packers' identity has been a run-first offense lately, leaving fewer pass attempts for Love. In 2025, Green Bay ran the ball 47.69%, which was fifth-most in the NFL. Love doesn't have a ton of flashy weapons around him, either. Romeo Doubs departed in free agency, leaving him with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Matthew Golden as his top wide receivers. Tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) is also in the mix, and while he has a great track record, he's working his way back from injury. If the Packers continue to be run-heavy for years to come, Love will likely struggle to emerge as a QB1 in fantasy football consistently, despite having a talented throwing arm. Dynasty managers should be open to the idea of trading him away and upgrading at the quarterback position.--Andersen Pickard

Miami Dolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers was a seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and with the writing on the wall as early as last season that the team would be moving on from veteran starter Tua Tagovailoa, Ewers was given the final three starts of his rookie season. While he handled himself adequately, he did little to prove he was the future of the franchise, averaging 190 passing yards across those three performances while throwing three touchdowns and just as many interceptions. Following an overhaul of the coaching staff and front office, the Dolphins signed former Packers backup Malik Willis to a three-year, $67.5 million contract. With Ewers likely to serve as the primary backup, he's still worth rostering in deep superflex leagues, especially with Willis largely unproven as a starter. That said, Ewers ranks in the bottom half of backups across the league, and even if given the chance as an injury fill-in, a poor supporting cast and his own limited skill set will cap his ceiling and keep him comfortably outside of must-start territory, reflected by his current ranking as RotoBaller's dynasty QB47.--Patrick McGrath

The Miami Herald's Omar Kelly writes that quarterback Quinn Ewers was the "best quarterback" of Wednesday's OTA session. The former University of Texas standout threaded a seam pass to tight end Ben Sims during 7-on-7 work and was "significantly more aggressive" with his throws. The 23-year-old also threw a touchdown pass to undrafted rookie receiver Donaven McCulley. The Dolphins signed former Green Bay Packers QB Malik Willis to a three-year, $67.5 million deal in free agency in March, so Ewers, a seventh-round selection last year, will be competing for the No. 2 role this summer with Cam Miller and rookie undrafted free agent Mark Gronowski. Ewers appeared in four games (three starts) near the end of his rookie campaign after Miami benched Tua Tagovailoa and completed 66.3% of his 83 pass attempts for 622 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions while going 1-2 as a starter.--Keith Hernandez

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said he "absolutely" wants to stay with the Ravens long-term, according to Giana Han of The Baltimore Banner. Owner Steve Bisciotti said the team wanted to sign the two-time MVP to a contract extension before the start of free agency in March, but general manager Eric DeCosta later said they "ran out of time" and were forced to restructure Jackson's contract instead. Baltimore lowered the 29-year-old's 2026 salary cap hit to $34.39 million by restructuring his contract, but his 2027 cap hit will increase to $84.34 million. Jackson didn't answer whether he wants to bet on himself and play out this season, and was mum on the details of his contract talks with the front office. The former 32nd overall pick back in 2018 out of Louisville is coming off an injury-plagued and disappointing 2025 campaign, but he appears motivated and re-energized while learning new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's scheme for the upcoming season. As long as he stays on the field, Jackson is an easy QB bounce-back candidate, and he's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 2 QB in single-year fantasy formats.--Keith Hernandez

Atlanta Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski said that quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) has not yet been cleared to take part in 11-on-11 drills during OTA practices, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. Penix suffered a partially torn ACL in his left knee last year and underwent season-ending surgery in mid-November. The 26-year-old former eighth overall pick in 2024 out of the University of Washington has already taken part in 7-on-7 drills and has done individual work during the Falcons' offseason program, but he's still behind as he eventually looks to compete with Tua Tagovailoa for the starting QB gig this summer in training camp. Reports have suggested that Penix is doing great in his rehab, but until he's at full speed, he'll be fighting an uphill battle to win the starting QB job to open the 2026 campaign. There are plenty of playmakers in Atlanta in an offense that could improve under Stefanski, but Penix's injury history alone -- he tore his ACL twice in college -- has seriously put a damper on his long-term fantasy outlook.--Keith Hernandez

Arizona Cardinals veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett has continued his holdout for a new deal and is not present for the team's OTA practices this week, a source told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. The Cardinals started their second week of OTAs on Tuesday, and they will continue on Wednesday and Friday. Brissett also didn't show up for OTAs last week and has yet to report to the team's offseason program as he enters the second year of a two-year deal he signed in March of 2025. The 33-year-old signal-caller is scheduled to make $4.88 million in 2026, with the potential to grow to $5.39 million, of which only $1.5 million is guaranteed. Backup Gardner Minshew II will be guaranteed $5.14 million. The two sides are reportedly "significantly" far apart on a reworked deal that will reward Brissett for his strong play in 2025 after he took over for the injured Kyler Murray. In 12 starts for Arizona last year, Brissett was the league's top-ranked QB from Week 6 on dropbacks, play-actions, completions, and attempts. He was second in passing yards and fourth in completion percentage above expected. Brissett will be the team's starter again in 2026 with Murray gone, but with an offense that's expected to be much more balanced under new head coach Mike LaFleur, regression is expected for the veteran gunslinger. He's ranked as RotoBaller's QB27 in redraft formats for the upcoming season.--Keith Hernandez

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is participating in OTAs, per Zach Selby of Commanders.com. Daniels battled through myriad injury issues in 2025, as elbow, hamstring, and knee ailments limited him to just seven games played. However, it appears as though the 25-year-old is healthy and fully ready to go entering 2026. Daniels lit up fantasy football with his dual-threat ability as a rookie in 2024, throwing for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns and rushing for 891 yards and six scores. If he can stay on the field, he projects as a high-end fantasy QB1 with number one overall quarterback upside. However, Daniels has a track record of shaky health that dates back to his time in college. Washington will also implement a new offensive system in 2026 under new play-caller David Blough and may prioritize keeping Daniels healthy by limiting his rushing attempts. All in all, Daniels projects as a high-risk, high-reward quarterback option for fantasy managers entering 2026.--Will Brady

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) was seen taking part in OTA practice on Wednesday after missing nearly six months with an Achilles tendon tear that he suffered in Week 14 of last year against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. Jones reportedly did all individual drills. He will most likely remain limited for the rest of OTAs and probably for minicamp in June, but come training camp this summer, he could be closer to a full-go. Barring a setback, the former first-round signal-caller by the New York Giants out of Duke will have a shot to be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September. We'll have a better idea of the 29-year-old's availability for the start of the 2026 regular season during training camp, but right now, things are looking good. Jones was in the midst of a career-best season in his first year in Indy before tearing his Achilles, and he finished with 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 13 starts for the Colts. But coming off a major Achilles injury, fantasy managers should be skeptical that he can repeat it in 2026. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 24 QB in single-year formats.--Keith Hernandez

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff may be 31 years old, but he continues to offer a stable quarterback option for managers in dynasty fantasy football leagues. Goff has been a top-10 fantasy quarterback in each of his last four seasons, benefitting from a strong supporting cast that features Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta (back), and Jahmyr Gibbs. He had one of the best seasons of his career last year, amassing 4,564 passing yards, 34 passing touchdowns, and eight interceptions. One of the biggest factors for Goff going forward is the protection in front of him. The veteran took a career-high 38 sacks last year, and he's not mobile enough to evade defenders. Fortunately, the Lions solidified their offensive line with Cade Mays and Blake Miller, both projected to take on starting roles. With improved protection, a terrific arm, and a productive supporting cast, Goff should remain in the low-end QB1 or high-end QB2 conversation in dynasty leagues for several years to come.--Andersen Pickard

Quarterback Mac Jones and the San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a revised contract for 2026, adding a $300,000 roster bonus that will allow him to earn up to $5.8 million with incentives before reaching free agency in 2027. Following a 2024 season in Jacksonville in which he stepped in for an injured Trevor Lawrence and maintained fantasy relevance not just for himself but also for the team's pass catchers, he did the same for San Francisco in 2025. With 49ers starter Brock Purdy impacted by a significant turf toe injury, Jones started eight games, finishing as the QB15 or better in five of them while keeping some of San Francisco's fantasy juggernauts afloat. He returns to the 49ers on the reworked final year of the two-year pact he signed in 2025, and at Rotoballer's QB45, Jones remains one of the most capable backups in the league, and a player who should be rostered in every superflex dynasty league.--Patrick McGrath
