The Kansas City Chiefs selected LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Nussmeier showcased NFL upside in 2024 throwing for 4,052 yards with 29 TDs and 12 INTs. Nussmeier suffered a core injury before the 2025 season which affects his play. He would miss the final four games ending the season with 1,927 yards with 12 TDs and 5 INTs. He did increase his completion percentage from 64.2% in 2024 to 67.4% in 2025. Nussmeier also does have negative rushing yards in each of the last two seasons, profiling as a pocket passer at the next level. Among the 15 QBs invited to the NFL Combine, Simpson ranked eighth in 2025 adjusted completion percentage (77.4%), but dead last in aDOT (7.0). He also ranked eighth in 2025 Big Time Throw rate (4.5%) and 15th in rushing yards per game when removing sacks (7.1). He is currently 24 years old.

The Saints believe QB Derek Carr fractured his left hand in Sunday's win over the Giants, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That's Carr's non-throwing hand, but the injury still figures to cost him time, if not the rest of the season. We'll look for a timeline for Carr's return. He was replaced by QB Jake Haener vs. New York. He's probably the favorite over QB Spencer Rattler to start against the Commanders next weekend. It's a situation to steer clear of in fantasy lineups.

Update: The team has confirmed a "significant" fracture of the left hand, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Carr's expected to miss "several weeks," which could obviously mean the end of his season with just four games left.
