Jahan Dotson Could Find Fantasy Viability Again in 2026

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jahan Dotson has been unable to recapture the success of his 2022 rookie season with the Commanders, when seven touchdowns and nearly 15 yards per reception had many believing he was on the precipice of fantasy stardom. With the former first-rounder since being traded for what was essentially a mid-round pick […]


Chris Rodriguez Jr. Can Find Weekly Fantasy Relevance

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. quietly put together one of the position's most efficient seasons in his final year with the Commanders, routinely churning through contact to find additional yards over expectation. Reconnecting with his former collegiate offensive coordinator after signing a two-year free agent deal, there is an expectation that Rodriguez can […]


Treylon Burks Working His Way Back into the Fantasy Conversation

Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks has had a career defined by injuries and disappointment, but a unique skill set and a solid first training camp in Washington have him well-positioned to earn a role in 2026. The arrival of four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs in early August changed the landscape of the Commanders' receiver room, […]


Elijah Arroyo Punctuates Strong Summer with a Long Touchdown

Second-year tight end Elijah Arroyo caught the final two passes of Seattle's opening drive in Sunday night's preseason matchup with the Titans, quickly moving the Seahawks from midfield into the end zone. Arroyo caught a 14-yard pass from quarterback Drew Lock on a play designed to motion him into space before the two connected on […]


Sean Tucker Stakes His Claim to Buccaneers' Goal-Line Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker proved himself a valuable goal-line weapon in 2025, converting four of his nine carries from within the five-yard line into touchdowns, and in Saturday night's preseason win over the Chiefs, he was at it again. With just over 10 minutes remaining in the game, Tucker made a nifty […]


Jalen Royals Helps His Case for an Expanded Role in Year 2

A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jalen Royals was a buzzy name throughout his first training camp with the team, and while that resulted in only two total catches as a rookie, there is still room for him to carve out a role in a receiver room in […]


Camden Brown's Strong Push for a Roster Spot Continues

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Camden Brown has made his share of highlight plays throughout training camp, and for the second time this preseason he led the team in receiving yards in Saturday night's win over the Cardinals. Adding to his 62 yards and two scores from the Cowboys' preseason opener against the Seahawks, Brown […]


Colbie Young Making a Push for Bengals' Third Receiver Spot

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Colbie Young caught three of his eight targets in Saturday night's preseason win over the Bears, racking up 48 yards and a touchdown. Through two preseason games, Young leads the team in targets and yards, and the 2026 fourth-round pick has emerged as a potential third receiver option behind Ja'Marr […]


Kyle Williams Shows Off Big-Play Ability in Saturday's Preseason Win

New England Patriots second-year wide receiver Kyle Williams got behind the Eagles defense for a 69-yard touchdown catch in the team's 24-21 preseason win on Saturday night, now giving him two impressive scores in as many games this summer. Williams had a slow start to training camp, with some around the Patriots even speculating that […]


Jaydon Blue Strengthens His Case for the Cowboys' Primary Backup Job

As a rookie in 2025, Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue saw the field in only five games, but a strong showing in Saturday night's preseason win over the Cardinals has him well positioned to earn the primary backup responsibilities behind veteran Javonte Williams. In a game that the Cowboys led 24-6 by halftime, Blue […]


Parker Washington is Back at Practice

After missing time over the past week, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (undisclosed) was spotted back at practice on Sunday. While the nature of Washington's injury was never disclosed, it was never treated as a long-term concern, and the fourth-year pro will look to pick up where he left off. With one of the […]


Deshaun Watson Criticizes Browns Fans in Postgame Press Conference

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson went 5-of-12 for 36 yards and an interception in the team's preseason loss to the Bills on Saturday, and the Cleveland faithful was not shy about assessing his performance with a chorus of boos. "I think the whole world knows it has nothing to do about the performance," Watson said […]


Joe Milton III has Another Strong Preseason Outing

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton III turned in his second impressive preseason performance in the team's 34-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday night, going 9-of-13 for 179 yards and two passing touchdowns while also punching in a one-yard score on the ground. Through two preseason games, Milton has completed 75% of his passes […]


Browns Expected to Make a QB Decision Early Next Week

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders is slated to start Saturday's preseason matchup against the Bills after struggling in relief of Deshaun Watson in the team's preseason-opening loss to the Bears, and a decision on the regular-season starter could come shortly after the game. "I do not anticipate the QB decision going past early next week," […]


CJ Williams Catches Four Passes While Fighting for a Roster Spot

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver CJ Williams caught all four of his targets for 22 yards in Friday night's preseason loss to the Panthers, also gaining two yards on an opening drive end-around. Receiver represents arguably the deepest position group on Jacksonville's roster, so the 2026 sixth-round pick faces an uphill climb just to make […]


Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, and Stefon Diggs Expected to Play Saturday

The Washington Commanders have listed 15 players who will not participate in Saturday's preseason matchup with the Lions, but NFL Insider Adam Schefter notes that among the starters expected to see action are quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs. After sitting out the preseason opener against the Dolphins, Saturday's tilt […]


Josh Allen to Sit Along with Most of Bills' Starters

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and most of the team's starters will sit out Saturday's preseason matchup with the Cleveland Browns, according to NFL reporter Cameron Wolfe, who adds that a few young starters may play. A perennial MVP candidate and one of the most prolific fantasy quarterbacks of all time, Allen enters his ninth […]


Rhamondre Stevenson Projected as the Patriots' Lead Back

The New England Patriots recently completed two joint practices with the Eagles ahead of Saturday night's preseason matchup, and while the stout interior of Philadelphia's defensive front allowed for very little running room, veteran running back Rhamondre Stevenson did manage to pop a handful of outside runs, and team writer Evan Lazar sees him emerging […]


Geno Smith Goes 7-for-7 with a Touchdown in Jets Return

It had been almost 10 full years since veteran quarterback Geno Smith last started a game for the New York Jets, but in his 2026 preseason debut, he offered a glimpse of what his second stint with the team could look like. Smith was 7-of-7 on his lone drive of the night, completing passes to […]


RJ Harvey Catches a Touchdown in Limited Work with Starters

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey had a short but successful outing in Friday night's preseason matchup with the Packers. With his work limited to the first drive of the game, the second-year back gained five yards on his only carry, but added 25 yards on two receptions, including a 21-yard touchdown strike from quarterback […]


Omar Cooper Jr. Runs with Starters in Second Preseason Game

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. got some run with the team's first-team offense during Friday's preseason win over the Steelers, but he stayed in the game well beyond most of the starters, who were pulled after a 10-play, 69-yard touchdown drive to open the night, and he didn't crack the stat […]


Bo Nix Near-Perfect in Preseason Debut

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix and most of the team's starting offense worked only two series in Friday night's preseason loss to the Packers, but they made their efforts count, ending both drives with points. On the night, Nix was 6-of-9 for 76 yards with a touchdown, connecting with five different pass-catchers, including a 35-yard […]


Will Sheppard Leads Green Bay in Receiving on Friday Night

Most of the Green Bay Packers' starting offense played only one series in Friday's preseason win over the Broncos, a 12-play, 63-yard touchdown drive to open the night, and so it was 24-year-old wide receiver Will Sheppard who led the team with six catches for 47 yards, adding a touchdown grab of his own in […]


Antonio Williams No Longer Being Pushed Up Draft Boards Out of Necessity

The Washington Commanders spent a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on Clemson wide receiver Antonio Williams after leaving the position largely unaddressed through free agency. Although he projects as something close to a slot-only player, Washington's lack of receiver depth behind Terry McLaurin pushed Williams up draft boards out of perceived necessity. Once […]


Fernando Mendoza Throws Pick-Six in First Preseason Start

Las Vegas Raiders rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza got his first professional start in Thursday night's preseason matchup with the Texans, and on the team's opening drive, he threw an interception to rookie linebacker Wade Woodaz that was returned 80 yards for a touchdown. Playing the entire first half, the first overall pick in the 2026 […]


Mike Washington Jr. Leads Raiders in Carries and Rushing Yards

With the Las Vegas Raiders giving a handful of their starters the night off, rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. drew the start and looked sharp in Thursday night's 22-20 preseason win over the Texans. Washington took his first carry of the game 33 yards through the middle of the Texans' defense before first overall […]


No Determination Made on Whether Jayden Daniels Will Play Saturday

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn and the rest of his staff have yet to decide whether or not quarterback Jayden Daniels will play in the team's second preseason game. Ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Lions, Quinn met with the media and shared that "a good amount of starters" will get some playing time, […]


Jaguars Preparing Travis Hunter to Be the No. 1 CB

Billed as football's answer to Shohei Ohtani when he was selected second overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter spent the majority of his rookie campaign on the offensive side of the ball before an LCL injury ended his season right when he looked to be on the verge of […]


KC Concepcion Moved Everywhere Within WR Room

The Cleveland Browns spent a 2026 first-round pick on wide receiver KC Concepcion, and since Day 1, head coach Todd Monken and the offensive staff have not held back in loading up his plate. "He's handled us moving him around at an elite level," Monken told team reporter Kelsey Russo. "It's not easy to - […]


Parker Washington Expected Back Next Week

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (undisclosed) is expected to return to practice next week after missing time with an undisclosed injury, according to NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Coming into training camp as part of a crowded receiver room, Washington quickly reestablished the connection he formed with quarterback Trevor Lawrence down the stretch of the […]
