Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback
Trevor Lawrence came into the league with sky-high expectations after being selected first overall in the 2021 draft, but following four disappointing seasons, he had fallen to the low-QB2 range in dynasty formats. However, after one year with new head coach Liam Coen and an identity-redefining season that saw him receive MVP votes, Lawrence is back into the QB1 conversation in dynasty startups. The biggest change to Lawrence's game in 2025 was his ability to keep drives alive with his legs. Throughout the regular season and playoffs, 333 of his career-high 390 rushing yards came on scrambles, and his nine rushing touchdowns almost doubled his previous career high. It was an element that Coen previously helped bring to
Baker Mayfield's game, and one that could continue to boost Lawrence's value as he looks to take advantage of the rare continuity around him, heading into year six.

The Carolina Panthers hired former Miami Dolphins quarterbacks coach and passing-game coordinator Darrell Bevell as associate head coach/offensive specialist on Wednesday, sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Bevell is a long-time respected NFL assistant coach who will bring a wealth of experience to head coach Dave Canales' staff as Carolina looks to take another step forward after making the postseason in 2025. Canales was the Seattle Seahawks' wide receivers coach when Bevell was the offensive coordinator, so the two have worked together before. The Panthers are hoping that the addition of Bevell will help quarterback
Bryce Young take the next step in his development after Carolina's offense ranked only 26th in EPA per play and 18th in success rate last season.

The Green Bay Packers named former Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Luke Getsy as their new quarterbacks coach on Wednesday, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Getsy also has previous experience as an offensive coordinator with the Chicago Bears. He returned to Green Bay in 2025 as a senior assistant and will now take over for
Sean Mannion, who left for the OC job with the Philadelphia Eagles. Before leaving to become an OC, Getsy was the team's QBs coach under head coach Matt LaFleur from 2019 to 2021. The 41-year-old didn't have much success in Chicago or Las Vegas, so the move isn't particularly great for the development of QB
Jordan Love as he heads into his sixth season in the NFL.

The New York Giants hired former Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan as their new quarterbacks coach and passing-game coordinator on Wednesday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Callahan will work under head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy while specifically looking to develop former first-round QB
Jaxson Dart. The Ole Miss product took over starting QB duties from
Russell Wilson early in the year and impressed in 14 games (12 starts) in 2025, throwing for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions while adding 487 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the ground on 86 attempts. Callahan failed in his time with the Titans, but he spent five years before that as the Bengals' offensive coordinator while helping to develop
Joe Burrow. Dart will now have two former head coaches in Callahan and Nagy helping groom him going into Year 2.

ESPN's Field Yates believes that Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who is expected to be selected by the Las Vegas Raiders with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, is the "ideal partner" to pair with new head coach and offensive play-caller Klint Kubiak. Mendoza did it all in 2025 while leading the Hoosiers to their first undefeated season and a national championship, including showing elite accuracy and overall arm talent while improving his pocket awareness. The young signal-caller also has a strong frame, in-pocket mobility, and enough creativity to handle duress out of structure. Kubiak is fresh off winning the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks and QB
Sam Darnold, a former third overall pick. Kubiak seems like the perfect person to oversee the development of Mendoza, who should have a pretty high floor at the next level.

After an electric rookie season in 2024 that saw him lead his team to the NFC Championship Game, Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels battled through a miserable follow-up campaign in 2025. The 25-year-old suffered a knee injury in Week 2, a hamstring injury in Week 7, a dislocated elbow in Week 9, and finally a season-ending re-aggravation of the elbow injury in Week 14. Overall, Daniels was limited to just seven games played and completed 60.6% of his pass attempts for 1,262 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 278 yards and two scores on 58 attempts. In addition to the reduced volume, Daniels' efficiency as both a passer and a rusher also suffered. After averaging 7.4 yards per pass attempt and 6.0 yards per rush attempt in 2024, Daniels averaged 6.7 yards per pass attempt and 4.8 yards per rush attempt in 2025. In 2026, former Commanders' assistant quarterbacks coach
David Blough will take over for Kliff Kingsbury as Washington's offensive play-caller, throwing some uncertainty into the offensive environment around Daniels. Daniels high-end dual-threat potential means he still carries elite fantasy upside in dynasty formats, but he will have to prove he can stay healthy in 2026.

The New York Giants interviewed former Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan for their quarterbacks coaching job, sources told Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Callahan served in the same role with the Detroit Lions and Las Vegas Raiders from 2016 to 2018 before serving as the Cincinnati Bengals' offensive coordinator for five years. There were rumors that Callahan might go back to the Bengals, but that was only possible if Dan Pitcher left as the OC, and that did not happen. If Callahan were to sign with the Giants, he'd be coaching under head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy while working with impressive young quarterback
Jaxson Dart. Callahan flamed out as the Titans' head coach the last two seasons, but he could be a positive influence for Dart's development if he's hired by the G-Men.

Las Vegas Raiders new head coach Klint Kubiak told reporters on Tuesday that he will call the offensive plays in 2026, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. "I plan on continuing to collaborate with our coaches and making everybody a part of the game planning process," Kubiak said. In all likelihood, Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza will be running Kubiak's offense next season after veteran
Geno Smith was a disaster under center in 2025. Under Kubiak's guidance in Seattle,
Sam Darnold led the Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday. The Seahawks ranked third in points per game (28.4) during the regular season with Kubiak as the offensive coordinator, and they also finished eighth in total yards per game (351.4), eighth in passing yards per game (228.1), and 11th in rushing yards per game (123.3).

The Athletic's Zac Jackson predicts that the Cleveland Browns give quarterback
Shedeur Sanders the "runway to be the No. 1 QB for the summer and early fall." Sanders, who fell to the fifth round in last year's NFL draft, held the starting gig for the final seven games of the 2025 season and was predictably inconsistent, completing 56.6% of his 212 pass attempts for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns, and 10 picks. He added 21 rushing attempts for 169 yards and a touchdown. Along with Sanders,
Deshaun Watson (Achilles) and
Dillon Gabriel are the only other QBs on the roster. As of now, Sanders is probably first in line, but it's early in the offseason, and the depth chart remains fluid. New head coach Todd Monken was non-committal on the QB situation at his first press conference. The Browns could add to the QB competition by taking a signal-caller in this year's draft, giving Sanders more competition.

The San Francisco 49ers continue to say that they plan to hold onto quarterback
Mac Jones, who signed a two-year, $8.41 million contract in March of last year. The Athletic's Matt Barrows thinks the trade market for Jones this offseason "will be robust," and "there's a good chance they'll get an offer they can't refuse." Jones displayed excellent processing skills in 2025 and is well-liked in the Niners' locker room. The 27-year-old former first-round pick (15th overall) by the New England Patriots in 2021 out of Alabama kept San Fran's season afloat in 2025 when
Brock Purdy was injured, going 5-3 as a starter and throwing for 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions in 11 games played (eight starts). With
Sam Darnold as an example, some NFL teams looking for a QB could decide to take a chance on Jones instead of risk a draft pick on a young signal-caller.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot reports that the last two civil suits against Cleveland Browns quarterback
Deshaun Watson have been settled with the women accusing him of sexual misconduct weeks before they were set to go to trial in February and March, according to a league source. The suits were among the 27 that were filed against Watson since 2021 by women accusing him of sexual misconduct during massage appointments. Watson was fined $5 million and suspended for 11 games in 2022 because of his actions. The 30-year-old has been a massive bust for Cleveland since signing a five-year, $230 million contract in March of 2022, and he's played in just 20 games since the start of 2022. Watson suffered multiple Achilles tears in 2024 and will merely be competing for a starting gig this summer. There's still a pretty good chance he never takes another snap as the starter in Cleveland again.

The Pittsburgh Steelers definitely want impending free-agent quarterback
Aaron Rodgers to return for the 2026 season, but they are in no hurry for a resolution, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. The Steelers don't think it will take quite as long as it did last year for the situation to resolve itself, and in the meantime, they are content to focus on the development of second-year QB
Will Howard. With Rodgers away, Howard will have an opportunity to compete to become the QB1 over
Mason Rudolph. But it remains to be seen if the former sixth-rounder can become a viable starter in the NFL, and it will be a moot point if Rodgers re-signs in the Steel City. Expect Rodgers to take his time to decide so he can miss the voluntary portion of the offseason program. If the future Hall of Famer does return to Pittsburgh for another year, he'll be a low-end QB2 option for fantasy after throwing for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 16 regular-season games in 2025.

New England Patriots quarterback
Drake Maye (shoulder) acknowledged that the hit he took in the AFC Championship game against the Denver Broncos was significant as it relates to his right throwing shoulder, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. Maye was managing his shoulder injury in the two weeks leading into Super Bowl LX against the Seattle Seahawks, but both Maye and the Patriots downplayed the severity. Maye admitted that his shoulder was an issue in the 29-13 loss to Seattle in the Super Bowl, in which he went 27-for-43 passing for 295 yards and two touchdowns. The second-year QB threw picks and lost a fumble as well in what was a disappointing finish to an excellent second year for the North Carolina product. Maye doesn't expect to require surgery, though, and he should be fully healthy going into the 2026 campaign. The 23-year-old led the NFL with a 72% completion percentage during the regular season and finished as a top-five fantasy QB, although New England's regular-season schedule was extremely soft.

Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson spent four seasons at Alabama, but the 23-year-old wasn't named the starter until his redshirt junior season in 2025. However, his lone season as the QB1 has him in a position to be a first-round draft selection in April. The Tennessee native started in 15 games in 2025, throwing for 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns, and just five interceptions. He tallied 93 yards and two scores as a runner. In early November, Simpson was projected to be a fringe top-five pick, as he threw 20 touchdowns to just one interception through his first eight games. He wasn't quite as efficient through the final seven games of the year, but his overall body of work and the premium placed on the QB spot in the NFL make him likely to be a mid-or-late first-round pick. The Raiders are expected to pick Fernando Mendoza No. 1 overall, but the Jets, Cardinals, Browns, and Dolphins are among the teams clearly looking for a new quarterback in 2026. If Simpson is a first-round pick, he'll be a valuable rookie selection in Superflex and two-QB dynasty leagues. His lack of rushing upside limits his ceiling in single-QB setups.

The Las Vegas Raiders officially agreed to an undisclosed five-year deal with new head coach Klint Kubiak on Monday, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Raiders had to wait to officially name Kubiak as their next head coach until after Super Bowl LX. He will get to work quickly after helping lead the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday. Kubiak is the fourth head coach for the Raiders in the last four seasons, but they are hoping that he'll bring some stability to the role as the team looks to rebuild. They have the No 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and are fully expected to select Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Kubiak will be crucial in the development of Mendoza, the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner.
