Ryquell Armstead's Preseason Debut Doesn't Go Well

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Ryquell Armstead played in his first preseason game on Thursday as the Jaguars lost to the Miami Dolphins, and it didn't go so well. Armstead had 18 rushing yards on eight carries and caught three passes, but finished with negative receiving yardage. As long as Alfred Blue (ankle) is out, Armstead is […]

Dede Westbrook Finds End Zone Against Dolphins

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook was targeted seven times in Thursday's preseason loss to the Miami Dolphins. He turned those targets into four catches, 29 yards, and a touchdown. Westbrook is Jacksonville's top receiver and his growing rapport with quarterback Nick Foles makes him an incredibly interesting pick in the middle rounds of fantasy […]

D.J. Chark Suffers Concussion

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark suffered a concussion in Thursday's preseason meeting with the Miami Dolphins. Chark is expected to be one of Jacksonville's three starting wide receivers, but with the regular season kicking off in just over two weeks, there are now going to be worries about Chark's availability. If he passes concussion […]

Leonard Fournette Plays Well Against Dolphins

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette saw his first snaps of the preseason in Thursday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. Fournette carried the ball seven times for 27 yards and also added two receptions for 19 yards. He was targeted three times.

Nick Foles Throws Touchdown In Preseason Debut

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles sat out the team's first two preseason games, but he played about a quarter and a half in Thursday's loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Kirk Cousins - Still Underrated?

In 2018, Kirk Cousins finished as the fantasy QB13, which is just at the edge of the QB1 tier. So why did Fantasy Football Twitter collectively decide that Cousins was a complete bust last season? Well, Cousins had gotten a lot of hype behind him when he went to Minnesota. He'd finished as a top-10 fantasy quarterback […]

Ryquell Armstead Clears Concussion Protocol

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Ryquell Armstead has cleared concussion protocol and is expected to play in Thursday's preseason meeting with the Miami Dolphins. Armstead and former Texans running back Alfred Blue are competing to back up Leonard Fournette, but Blue's dealing with a foot injury and won't play Thursday, opening up a chance for […]

Marqise Lee Won't Play Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee won't play Thursday against the Dolphins. The third preseason game is traditionally the one where a team gives their starters the most snaps and the Jaguars are expected to do just that after resting nearly every key player for the first two preseason contests. But Lee, who was just […]

Jordan Akins Has Impressive Training Camp

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins was picked by Aaron Reiss of The Athletic as the most improved player at Texans' training camp this year. Akins was constantly making big plays in practice and showing off his versatility. With Jordan Thomas missing most of camp, Akins may actually be in the lead at this point […]

2019 IDP Draft Sleepers

I've been playing in IDP leagues for the last couple of years, but I've never ventured into the world of writing about IDP leagues. But one goal I have as a fantasy analyst is to expand my horizon a little each year, and this year that goal is to write some about IDP leagues. To […]

Josh Gordon is Back... Again

By now, you've heard the news that New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon has been reinstated by the NFL. Gordon is expected to be eligible for New England's season opener and would add some much-needed firepower to the New England receiving corps. How much is Gordon needed? Well, with the departure of tight end […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Perfect Against Lions

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn was 3-for-3 on field goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra point attempts in Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions. His longest field goal was a 50-yarder. Fairbairn's one of the most promising young kickers in the NFL and has a chance to break into the top tier of fantasy […]

DeAndre Hopkins Catches Preseason Touchdown

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught two passes for 17 yards and a touchdown on Houston's first series during Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions. Hopkins continued to show good rapport with quarterback Deshaun Watson and reminded fantasy owners why he's the first wide receiver being drafted in most leagues. Notably, Houston ran […]

Jordan Thomas Plays Against Lions

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Thomas has missed most of training camp and the preseason, but he was active in Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions. Thomas caught two of his five targets for 17 yards and also had a touchdown called back by penalty. Thomas was originally expected to be Houston's top tight […]

Vyncint Smith Catches Touchdown

Houston Texans wide receiver Vyncint Smith caught a 31-yard touchdown in Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions. It was Smith's only catch on his four targets. Smith is embroiled in a tough battle to be Houston's fifth receiver, and Saturday night was a reminder that he has the big-play ability to perform in that […]

DeAndre Carter Leads Texans In Receiving Against Lions

Houston Texans wide receiver Deandre Carter had three catches for 40 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions. He was the team leader in receiving yards and tied for the lead in receptions. Carter is currently leading the battle to be Keke Coutee's backup in the slot, and while his ceiling isn't very […]

Taiwan Jones Starts Against Lions

Houston Texans running back Taiwan Jones started Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions. He rushed once for five yards. While Jones wasn't very involved offensively, head coach Bill O'Brien's decision to go with him as the starter with Lamar Miller and Duke Johnson out suggests that Jones may be in the lead for the […]

Karan Higdon Sees Early Work

Houston Texans running back Karan Higdon saw work early in Houston's preseason win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday, but he wasn't able to do much with those touches. Higdon had seven carries for 13 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Higdon getting playing time with the starting offense is a good sign […]

Damarea Crockett Has Eight Carries Against Lions

Houston Texans running back Damarea Crockett had eight carries for 32 yards in Saturday's preseason win against the Detroit Lions. What was most notable about Crockett's game, though, was that both Taiwan Jones and Karan Higdon were used ahead of him in the rotation. Crockett outplayed Higdon, but believers that he's Houston's RB1 in the […]

Buddy Howell Scores Against Lions

Houston Texans running back Buddy Howell played a key role in Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions, rushing 15 times for 84 yards and a touchdown. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. Howell seemed to be on the outside of the race for one of the final spots in Houston's running back rotation, […]

Joe Webb Has Another Heavy Preseason Workload

Houston Texans quarterback Joe Webb once again saw a heavy workload in a preseason game, entering for Houston's second offensive series and playing into the fourth quarter in Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions. Webb was 14-for-25 passing the ball for 186 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. While the veteran won't see regular […]

Deshaun Watson Tosses Preseason Touchdown

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson played one series in Saturday's preseason win over the Detroit Lions, going 5-for-7 for 60 yards and a touchdown. Both incompletions came on accurate passes in the red zone. Houston was playing fast on that first series and running some no-huddle offense, which could be an indication that the team […]

Marqise Lee Removed From PUP List

In a bit of a surprising move, the Jacksonville Jaguars have taken wide receiver Marqise Lee (knee) off the Physically Unable to Perform list. While some in the Jacksonville media expected Lee to open the regular season on the PUP list and miss the first six weeks of the season, Saturday's move suggests that he'll […]

Darren Fells Has Good Shot To Make Roster

While NFL teams don't often keep four tight ends, the Houston Texans are looking more and more likely to do so this season as tight end Darren Fells has impressed during training camp. With a lot of offensive line issues in Houston, Fells' blocking ability means he'd be a big help for this team. He […]

Duke Johnson Still Hasn't Practiced With Texans

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson has yet to practice with his new team. Johnson missed the last few weeks of practice with the Browns before he was traded to Houston with a hamstring issue. Johnson is expected to see a significant role as a third-down back and a slot option for the Texans, but […]
