Royce Freeman Leads Texans Rushers During Week 2

Houston Texans running back Royce Freeman received a team-high nine carries during the Week 2 preseason win over the Rams on Friday. Freeman has proven to be the team's bell cow out of the backfield thus far, despite having been largely bottled up. The 26-year-old compiled a team-leading 30 yards on the ground vs. L.A., […]

Jordan Love Tosses Touchdown In Week 2 Preseason Win

Week 2 of the Jordan Love starting quarterback experience in the preseason came with much more consistency. After a three-interception outing in Week 1, Love put a goose egg in the INT column Friday in a victory against the Saints. While he went just 13-for-24 through the air, Love showcased his arm strength on numerous […]

Romeo Doubs Has Up-And-Down Preseason Performance

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Romeo Doubs had three catches for 24 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the New Orleans Saints on Friday night, but he also struggled with drops. One of his two drops was on a deep ball on the opening drive in which he appeared to get […]

Tyquan Thornton Suffers Collarbone Injury

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (collarbone) suffered a collarbone injury in the team's second preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Friday night. There isn't an exact timetable for Thornton's return, but it doesn't appear to be a season-ending injury. The 22-year-old will almost certainly miss the start of the 2022 regular […]

Pierre Strong Jr. In Competition For No. 4 RB Job

New England Patriots rookie running back Pierre Strong Jr. hasn't really found his footing yet in training camp and remains stuck in a competition for the No. 4 running back job, not the No. 3 spot like most people were expecting. Strong carried the ball seven times for 23 yards in Friday's preseason game against […]

Kendrick Bourne Sliding Down The Depth Chart

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne had 800 receiving yards last year, but he continues to slide down the depth chart this summer. He's now behind Nelson Agholor, Jakobi Meyers and DeVante Parker. Bourne said this week that he'll ride the bench if that's what he has to do to help the team win. […]

Ty Montgomery Looks Like No. 3 RB In New England

After Friday's preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots running back Ty Montgomery looks like the third-best back the team has behind Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson. Rookie Pierre Strong Jr. has started slowly and Montgomery has played well, building on impressive practices this week. Montgomery touched the ball on five of 10 […]

Mac Jones Handles Three Series Friday

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones got off to a shaky start in the second preseason game on Friday against the Carolina Panthers with two three-and-out drives, but he ended on a high note to lead an 81-yard touchdown drive on his final series. He went 4-for-8 for 61 yards passing in the outing. It […]

Optimism That Miles Sanders Will Be Ready For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) missed another training camp practice on Friday, but there is optimism that he'll be ready for the Week 1 season opener against the Detroit Lions. Sanders has been bothered by this injury before, though. "We are just being precautious with him," head coach Nick Sirianni said. "He had […]

Tony Jones Jr. Fighting For Backup Running Back Spot

New Orlean Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. had 19 yards on four carries and turned three targets into three catches for 20 yards in Friday night's loss to the Green Bay Packers. The 24-year-old looked to have some explosiveness out of the backfield, rushing and receiving the ball. His 20-yard screen pass was his extended play […]

Taysom Hill Gets First Preseason Work In Loss To Packers

New Orleans Saints quarterback/tight end Taysom Hill (ribs) finished with one catch for 10 yards on two targets in Friday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Dontrell Hilliard Impressing In Camp

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard has been a standout during camp, according to John Glennon. Last season, Hilliard saw a spike in fantasy value after Derrick Henry landed on the sideline. It sounds like Hilliard is the favorite for the third-down duties in Tennessee. Obviously, Henry is going to get the bulk of the […]

Donald Parham Jr. Is Progressing

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) is progressing, but remains week-to-week, according to head coach Brandon Staley. The organization is hopeful that Parham can begin doing more work as early as next week. Sadly, it's going to be difficult for Parham to make up for lost time. There is potential here, so […]

Forrest Lamp Placed On Injured Reserve

New Orleans Saints offensive tackle Forrest Lamp (undisclosed) has been placed on the injured reserve. The organization has not released details on the injury, but it sounds like Lamp's season is over before it begins. The former second round pick played one game with the team last year, but missed most of the season due […]

Chris Olave Flashes, Scores Touchdown Against Green Bay

New Orleans wide rookie wide receiver Chris Olave caught two of the three targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in a 20-10 preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers. The touchdown came on a twenty-yard pass and ended up being the only end zone find of the game for the Saints. The 22-year-old played all of […]

D'Onta Foreman Unproductive In Preseason Start

D'Onta Foreman started at running back for the Carolina Panthers and garnered 16 yards on seven carries in their 20-10 loss to the New England Patriots. He split snaps with Chuba Hubbard for Carolina's first four drives, but neither managed to impress. Foreman was the most productive back in Tennessee last season when Derrick Henry […]

Dameon Pierce, Brandin Cooks Don't Play Against Rams

Two key Houston Texans didn't see the field in Friday's preseason win over the Rams. Running back Dameon Pierce, a rookie who impressed in the team's first preseason game, and wide receiver Brandin Cooks both didn't see the field. This is likely a good thing, as Cooks is locked in as the No. 1 receiver […]

Chuba Hubbard Sees Seven Touches In Preseason Week 2

Carolina Panthers second-year running back Chuba Hubbard handled six carries for 22 yards and one reception for a four-yard-loss in Friday's preseason matchup against the New England Patriots. D'Onta Foreman started in the backfield this week, but the two rotated throughout Carolina's first four drives and were both mostly ineffective. Hubbard disappointed fantasy managers when […]

Nico Collins Catches Touchdown On Friday

Overall, Collins caught four passes for 48 yards and was targeted on six of Davis Mills' 17 throws. Collins has locked up the No. 2 […]

Rex Burkhead Sees Three Targets On Friday

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. Burkhead doesn't have much fantasy value this season, but he could be worth a stash in a deep, full-PPR league if he […]

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. But even with that score, it was a slow night for Mills, who played the entire first half and finished 10-for-17 for 96 yards. He […]

Matt Corral Plays Three Drives Before Suffering Foot Injury

Matt Corral (foot) completed nine of 15 passes for 58 yards and added six yards rushing before his early exit from Carolina's preseason loss to the Patriots. PJ Walker got the start and alternated quarters with Corral, who left in the fourth after sustaining a foot injury. With both Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold resting, […]

Ian Book, Only QB To Play Friday Against Green Bay

New Orleans Saints quarterback Ian Book went 16-for-28 in pass attempts for 138 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while rushing for 49 yards on seven attempts in Friday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers. The 24-year-old was the lone quarterback to play in Friday's contest. He connected with rookie wide receiver Chris Olave […]

Jakobi Meyers Targeted Three Times In Win Against Carolina

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers caught one of three targets for four yards in Friday's 20-10 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Ty Montgomery Finds The End Zone Against Carolina

New England Patriots running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery rushed for 13 yards on four attempts and a touchdown while catching his only target for five yards in Friday's 20-10 preseason win over the Carolina Panthers.

Tyquan Thornton Dealing With Shoulder Injury

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) was removed from Friday's preseason game against the Carolina Panthers due to a shoulder injury. He caught his only target for 13 yards before exiting in the fourth quarter. The severity of Thornton's shoulder is unknown, and he is considered day-to-day. Before getting ruled out for the […]

Lance McCutcheon Records Five Receptions For 96 Yards

Los Angeles Rams receiver Lance McCutcheon had his second straight big game, racking up five receptions on six targets for 96 yards in Friday's 24-20 preseason loss to the Houston Texans.
