The Kansas City Chiefs added a pocket passer at No. 249 in Garrett Nussmeier, who threw for 4,400 passing yards with a 31-to-9 TD-to-INT ratio. Nussmeier displayed 9.4 adjusted yards per attempt and a 68.2% completion percentage, at LSU where he was once considered a lock to go in the first round.
In dynasty Superflex formats, Nussmeier is the ultimate “stash and cash” taxi-squad priority, where he could start the season at QB2 behind Justin Fields if Patrick Mahomes is not ready to go to start the season September.

Mahomes is smashing ACL/LCL rehab timeline and could be ready for Week 1. The key indicator is whether he starts camp on the PUP list, which currently seems unlikely. Mahomes just needs to avoid the PUP list at camp, and his dynasty value returns to pre-injury levels.
Don’t overthink this one. Buy the dip now, because it always feels great to secure a cornerstone QB before the value window closes, especially in 2QB/superflex dynasty leagues.
This is quite the “insurance policy” for the Chiefs. Trading for Justin Fields on the same day free agency buzz is peaking really underscores how much the front office may be sweating Patrick Mahomes’ ACL/LCL recovery timeline.
Going from the Jets’ recent offensive struggles to Andy Reid’s system is essentially going from a tricycle to a Ferrari. In Superflex leagues, Fields just became a priority “handshake” pick if you’re the Mahomes owner, and if Mahomes isn’t ready by mid-September, Fields would be a Top-12 fantasy play purely on rushing volume.
Just one season after signing a two-year, $40 million contract that included $30 million in guaranteed money, reports state that Justin Fields and the New York Jets are likely to part ways. Fields will look to join his fourth team in four years.
This season with the Jets, Fields recorded 128 completions for 1259 yards and seven touchdowns while rushing 71 times for 383 yards and four touchdowns. He was placed on injured reserve in Week 17 after suffering a knee injury. It was a frustrating season for both Fields and the Jets, who finished with a 3-14 record and saw Fields benched mid-game in Week 7 and ultimately replaced by Tyrod Taylor in November. Fields will now look to find a new home, with newfound success like that of quarterbacks of the Jets past, Sam Darnold and Geno Smith.

The New York Jets are 2-8 on the season, Justin Fields was paid $40 million to be the starting quarterback. He has struggled to get the offense rolling, so the team is turning to veteran Tyrod Taylor. Neither quarterback has looked good in this offense.
The only Jets player even worth potentially starting is running back Breece Hall. The ceiling of this offense is severely capped by the quarterback play. Fields at least had his legs to provide some fantasy points rushing. Taylor has never been a runner. This week the Jets play the Ravens whose defense is starting to play like the defense they were expected to be. Taylor is not worth a start even if you are desperate.

The Jets just can’t seem to catch any breaks. After 2 straight wins, they lose their stud wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Wilson had just returned from injury.
The knee sprain will not require surgery, however Wilson is expected to miss the next month. Depending on the Jets record, Wilson’s season may be over. The Patriots defense is in a smash spot Thursday night. Aside from Breece Hall, all other Jets are risky fantasy investments.
