Panthers rookie QB Corral likely out for 2022 season

Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback MATT CORRAL suffered a tear of the Lisfranc ligament in his left foot in Friday night’s preseason game against the New England Patriots.

Meanwhile, the quarterback competition between BAKER MAYFIELD and SAM DARNOLD continues, with both players taking Friday night’s preseason game off. Less

No major decisions coming soon on Panthers starting QB

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule is seemingly unaware that fantasy football drafts are just around the corner. Rhule said over the weekend that the team won’t make what he calledMore a “major decision” on any position, particularly between quarterbacks BAKER MAYFIELD and SAM DARNOLD, until after the August 19th preseason game at New England. Rhule added that he may still not decide even at that time if one signal caller hasn’t clearly separated from the other. Stay tuned, fantasy owners. Less

Mayfield, Darnold to compete for starting gig

Carolina Panthers GM Scott Fitterer said this week that there will be an “open competition” at quarterback heading into the upcoming season. The Panthers will presumably decide between uninspiring holdover SAMMore DARNOLD and newcomer BAKER MAYFIELD. Holdover P.J. WALKER and rookie MATT CORRAL can also be thrown into the discussion, although neither is expected to be seriously considered. While the Panthers will have to start one of these guys in 2022, your fantasy team will likely have better options. Less

Factoid: Transplant quarterbacks

Six times in the last two years, a quarterback on a new team has finished with top-20 numbers, and it’s a safe bet that we’re going to have a least a couple of those guys again this season. There likely will be eight starting quarterbacks on opening day who finished last season with other teams.  more »

Around the NFL: Baker Mayfield

The Baker Mayfield era in Cleveland is officially over. Mayfield was finally traded to Carolina yesterday, with Cleveland getting back a fifth-round pick. Additionally, Mayfield himself took a paycut and the Panthers are picking up about $5 million of his salary. One could theoretically call it a win-win-win.   more »

Around the NFL: Cleveland Browns

It’s looking more and more likely that Jacoby Brissett will be doing most of the quarterbacking in Cleveland. Maybe all of it. And that should have everyone wary of counting on much from that team’s pass catchers.  more »

Around the NFL: Jacoby Brissett

It’s becoming increasingly apparent that Jacoby Brissett is going to start a bunch of games for the Browns this year. All of the bridges between the team and Baker Mayfield have been burned, and Deshaun Watson is facing a lengthy suspension. It will be Brissett under center in a lot of games (gulp).  more »

Carolina remains the most likely landing spot for Baker Mayfield. The Panthers traded up for Matt Corral, but reports indicate they’re continuing to talk to Cleveland about obtaining the former No. 1 overall pick. Talks broke down during the draft when the teams couldn’t agree on how much of Mayfield’s $18.9 million salary would be picked up by the Browns.  more »

Darnold the starting quarterback…for now

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said this week that SAM DARNOLD would be the team’s starting quarterback if the season started today. Despite the mild endorsement, speculation continues that theMore Panthers could trade for another signal caller (BAKER MAYFIELD?). Carolina also traded up to select rookie quarterback MATT CORRAL in the third round of April’s draft. Fantasy owners likely have better options at the quarterback position than the Panthers. Less

Fantasy News: QB carousel

It’s been a crazy offseason, particularly at the quarterback position. Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson are at new addresses, and there are some decent undercard items as well, with Matt Ryan and Carson Wentz in line to start for playoff-caliber teams.   more »

Around the NFL: Browns win

Deshaun Watson has made his choice between the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints by unexpectedly pivoting to Door No. 3. He's going to Cleveland, and it's almost certainly about the money -- a fully guaranteed $230 million contract. In fantasy terms, it's good for some, not so good for others.   more »

We have some drama in Cleveland, fantasy owners. Browns quarterback BAKER MAYFIELD has requested a trade after the team tried to acquire fellow quarterback DESHAUN WATSON and then proceeded to sayMore that they wanted “an adult” at the quarterback position. While Mayfield may want out of Cleveland, the Browns have reportedly said that the team will not accommodate his trade request. Less

Around the NFL: Cleveland Browns

Baker Mayfield, by all accounts, is done in Cleveland. He posted what felt like a goodbye on social media last night, with the Browns moving to potentially land Deshaun Watson. Even if those attempts fall short, the team seems like it will be moving onto to a new quarterback.   more »

Around the NFL: Amari Cooper

Amari Cooper is being traded to Cleveland, but I’m not crazy about the fit. I don’t expect he’ll put up top-20 receiving numbers in that offense.   more »
