Buffalo Bills QBs AJ McCarron and Nathan Peterman will take part in an "open competition" for the role of starting quarterback, according to head coach Sean McDermott.

Fantasy Tip: McCarron is the presumed favorite, especially after Peterman looked like a disaster in his one and only start as a rookie last season, not even lasting the full game due to ineffectiveness. McCarron certainly has the higher ceiling but no matter who emerges, they'll only be useful in deep two-quarterback formats out of the gate, if even that.

Updating a previous report, new Buffalo Bills QB AJ McCarron will earn at least $10 million over two years with $6.5 million available in incentives.

Fantasy Tip: McCarron is probably going to be the starter in Buffalo at the onset of campaign, but due to the club's lack of depth in their supporting cast, he's really just an option for two-quarterback formats. The former Bengal flashed some success when he got the chance to start for a time during the 2015 campaign, but he's not likely to duplicate that in his current situation.

The Buffalo Bills and free-agent QB AJ McCarron agreed to terms on a two-year deal Wednesday, March 14. Financial terms of the deal were undisclosed.

Fantasy Tip: McCarron will be the veteran bridge quarterback and mentor to a young rookie the team is expected to bring in. For fantasy purposes, he has low-end QB2 at this point.

The Cleveland Browns are "still exceedingly interested" in signing Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent QB AJ McCarron. Head coach Hue Jackson, who was McCarron's former offensive coordinator in Cincinnati, prefers bringing him in "and then backstopping him" with a rookie quarterback in the draft.

Fantasy Tip: Of course, much was made of the trade-deadline-day debacle this past season that saw the Browns not finalize their deal in time to acquire McCarron from the Bengals. Fortunately for Cleveland, they have plenty more time in this instance to cement something, so it appears they will indeed land the Cincinnati backup, along with a rookie to apparently wait in the wings. As a result, McCarron should be relied upon as a QB2 out of the gate in two-quarterback formats if he indeed signs with the Browns.

Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent QB AJ McCarron's "ceiling is that of a solid game manager," according to a scout.

Fantasy Tip: Being a game manager might not translate to fantasy stardom, but McCarron could be a serviceable fantasy backup if he lands a starting gig for 2018.

Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent QB AJ McCarron will likely command a contract for "at least" as much as the three-year, $45 million contract Chicago Bears QB Mike Glennon signed last year, according to Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com.

Fantasy Tip: McCarron is an unknown commodity, but if he can land a starting gig for 2018, he will be worth a look as a low-end QB2.

Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent QB AJ McCarron is expected to receive interest from the Minnesota Vikings if the Vikings are not able to re-sign impending free-agent QB Case Keenum.

Fantasy Tip: Several teams will be looking for starting quarterbacks this offseason, so McCarron should have several options available. He has seen limited playing time since entering the league and probably would be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback next season if he is a starter.
