Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Kyle Trask‘s leadership praised by Todd Bowles
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles praised Kyle Trask‘s leadership abilities Wednesday, mentioning the importance of a QB being vocal on the field and how Trask fulfills that need.
Fantasy Impact
Trask is competing for the starting QB job with veteran Baker Mayfield, so any praise from the coaching staff could work to his advantage. At this time, fantasy managers don’t appear to have confidence in either being a fantasy asset with Trask and Mayfield being drafted as the QB35 and QB33, respectively, according to FantasyPros consensus ADP.

Aaron Rodgers agrees to new two-year deal with the Jets
The Jets signed Aaron Rodgers to a new two-year, $75 million guaranteed contract through the 2024 season.
Fantasy Impact
Rodgers had nearly $110M guaranteed remaining on his old deal in Green Bay. He is taking a bit less money to open up some cap space for the Jets with this new deal.

Trey Lance first in 49ers QB rotation
Trey Lance was first in the 49ers’ rotation of QBs in practice today. The other two quarterbacks who rotated reps with Lance were Sam Darnold and Brandon Allen.
Fantasy Impact
While it’s nice to see the 49ers give Lance the first shot at practice, it should be noted that Brock Purdy wasn’t at practice today. San Fransisco is managing Purdy’s pre-season workload as he recovers from an elbow injury he suffered in the NFC Championship game. Purdy is still the favorite to enter week 1 as the team’s starter, but the 49ers have invested a lot into Lance. If he impresses during camp, it’s possible he gets a second chance to take the helm as starting quarterback of the offense. Until we get more clarification on Purdy’s injury and the quarterback battle, this situation will remain murky.
