Must-Have Players for Fantasy Football - Standard Leagues (Non-PPR)

Does anyone play in standard leagues anymore? [insert that common joke about how we shouldn't call them standard leagues when they aren't standard anymore.] I actually like to still play in a standard league every so often. If you don't know what standard is or if you need a refresher, there's no points per reception […]

Ronald Jones Doesn't Play In First Half Of Preseason Win

Kansas City Chiefs running back Ronald Jones didn't play in the first half of the team's preseason win over the Commanders.

Jody Fortson Catches Two Touchdowns In Preseason Win

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Jody Fortson caught four passes for 19 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's preseason win over the Commanders.

Justin Watson Leads Chiefs In Receiving Yards

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson caught two passes for 53 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Washington Commanders.

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead was targeted three times in Friday's preseason contest with the Rams. He caught all three passes for nine yards and also added two carries for five yards.

Davis Mills Struggles For Most Of First Half

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills threw a touchdown on the final play of the first half of Friday's preseason win over the Rams, throwing a contest 18-yarder to Nico Collins.

Royce Freeman Used Heavily In Preseason Opener

It's not usually a good sign for a player's regular season value if they're playing a lot in the first preseason game.
