Alfred Blue Has Strong Outing Against Rams

Houston Texans running back Alfred Blue bounced back from a pair of disappointing games to start this year's preseason with a strong, efficient day in Houston's third preseason game. On Saturday against the Rams, Blue carried the ball five times for 45 yards and a touchdown. With D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) still not ready for game […]

Taywan Taylor Quiet After Big Performance Last Week

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor was held to only one catch for nine yards in the team's Week 3 preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite the lack of production, Taylor did see five targets in a quarter and a half, which is two more than any other starter saw. Taylor is set to […]

Corey Davis Held Without A Catch Again

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis ended his 2018 preseason against the Pittsburgh Steelers without a catch. With starters almost certain to sit out next week in the preseason finale, this performance will not leave a good impression on Davis owners heading into the regular season. While he has had great reports out of the […]

Dion Lewis Catches Three Passes Against Steelers

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis was involved in both the rushing and passing game plan in the team's Week 3 preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, rushing three times for 11 yards and catching three passes for 20 yards. While neither total is very impressive, it is promising for Lewis to have three receptions […]

Derrick Henry Ineffective In Loss To Steelers

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry was held in check against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, managing only 12 yards on five carries. The entire offense looked overmatched in this outing, especially the offensive line. Henry had little room to run against the defensive front, although he did have an impressive run early in the […]

Marcus Mariota Struggles Against Steelers

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota struggled to get the passing game going Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mariota passed for only 43 yards and an interception in a little less than a half of play, including a big missed opportunity to Corey Davis down the field. While this was not Mariota's best performance it is […]

Ronald Jones II Still Struggling on Ground

Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II has the same amount of carries as rushing yards through three preseason games. One yard per carry is bad. He rushed six times for seven yards on Friday and has not done enough to take the starting job away from Peyton Barber. Jones lone highlight from Friday came on […]

O.J. Howard Catches Both Targets Friday

Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard caught both passes targeted to him Friday against the Lions. The second-year TE out of Alabama ended the game with two catches for 22 yards, one of them being for 17 yards on the opening drive of the game. Howard enters the 2018 season as the Bucs' second starting TE, […]

Marqise Lee Carted Off Field

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee was carted off the field during Saturday's preseason contest against Atlanta with a left knee injury. Lee went down after being hit by the helmet of Falcons safety Damontae Kazee. While more information is needed to know the extent of the injury, this is a potentially huge blow to […]

Eric Ebron Finds Pay Dirt

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron caught five passes for 54 yards and a touchdown in the team's preseason matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. This was Ebron's week to go off, as he caught a beautiful 15-yard pass from quarterback Andrew Luck to cap off the first-team offense's only scoring drive. It should be […]

Colts Rushing Attack Struggles in Preseason Tilt

The Indianapolis Colts rushing attack was largely ineffective against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3 of the preseason. While rookie Jordan Wilkins received the start, he finished the day with an abysmal 2.0 yards per carry and rotated out with Christine Michael on the first-team offense's third drive. Michael did manage to score a […]

Latavius Murray Bounces Back

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray redeemed himself on Friday night after fumbling twice in a week two loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Against the Seattle Seahawks in week three, Murray rushed 10 times for 24 yards and a touchdown, chipping in three catches for 32 yards on seven targets. Murray finished the 2017 season […]

T.Y. Hilton Hauls in Two Passes vs. 49ers

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton caught two of his three targets for 17 yards against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3 of the preseason. It was important for Hilton to suit up for the game in order to prove to fantasy owners that he isn't being hindered by an injury to his shoulder. […]

James Washington Leaves With Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington left his team's third preseason game against the Tennessee Titans with an abdominal injury on Saturday. Washington told reporters that he injured his abdomen while turning for a ball. He also went on to state that the injury is minor and that he was removed from the game as […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Reels In Six Passes Saturday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster was solid in his team's third preseason game against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday. Smith-Schuster caught six passes for 46 yards, tying with James Conner for the team lead in receptions. The second-year receiver has been the team's No.1 option in the passing game this summer with Antonio Brown […]

Dalvin Cook Returns To Action

Minnesota Vikings starting running back Dalvin Cook had two rushes for one yard in his first NFL game since tearing his ACL against the Detroit Lions just four weeks into the 2017 season. The results weren't much as he played just one series, but the fact that Cook is healthy and taking snaps is positive […]

James Conner Excellent In Passing Game Saturday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner did his best Le'Veon Bell impersonation in the passing game in his team's preseason win over the Tennessee Titans on Saturday. Conner only picked up 18 yards on the ground but he caught six balls for 52 yards. The second-year back has been running with the first team with […]

Ben Roethlisberger Sharp In Preseason Debut

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was sharp in his preseason debut against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday. Roethlisberger, who had sat out the previous two preseason contests, completed 11-of-18 passes for 114 yards and one touchdown in the contest. Roethlisberger's first-quarter touchdown came on a 32-yard pass to wide receiver Justin Hunter. The veteran quarterback […]

Deshaun Watson Throws Interception Against Rams

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien hinted during the week that his healthy players would see the field, but Saturday's preseason game against the Rams looked much like the team's other preseason contests, with quarterback Deshaun Watson barely on the field. Watson completed three of his six pass attempts, with one of those incompletions turning […]

Josh Allen Receiving High Praise

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is about to start his first official NFL game. Allen and the Bills draw the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday. To date, even though playing with and against lower-level talent, first impressions on the rookie QB have all been positive. A total of five quarterbacks were chosen in the first round […]

Stefon Diggs Hauls In Four Catches Friday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs had four catches for 51 yards as part of a 21-20 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Friday night. Diggs was targeted a team-high eight times by quarterback Kirk Cousins, and he has now caught 7-of-12 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in the preseason. Diggs has seemingly […]

Andrew Luck Does It All for the Colts

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck completed eight of his 10 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown while adding four carries for 27 yards against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3 of the preseason. Luck played for nearly a full half and was asked to do everything for the offense, with the team failing […]

Matt Ryan Should Play Extended Time Saturday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan should play most of the first half of the preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars Saturday. Ryan has been limited in the first two preseason games but the Falcons will likely look to get him extended playing time in this game. However, the Jaguars have a very good pass rush […]

Josh Gordon Not Practicing Saturday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon missed Saturday's practice with a tight hamstring. Gordon was activated off the non-football injury list earlier in the day but he apparently tweaked his hamstring during conditioning drills at some point. Head coach Hue Jackson originally had hoped to have Gordon take some snaps in the fourth preseason game […]

LeGarrette Blount Starts, Leads Lions Backfield Against Bucs

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount led the Lions rushing attack in carries (11) and yards (45) in their third tuneup before the regular season gets underway. He appears to have the clearest role of any Lion running back heading into the season, where he'll see roughly half the rushes and likely dominate goal-line work. […]

Ameer Abdullah Runs Ahead of Kerryon Johnson Friday Night

Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia gave running back Ameer Abdullah an opportunity to show what he could do in their dress rehearsal, and per usual, it wasn't much. Before having his longest run of 14 yards against Tampa Bay's backups in the third quarter, Abdullah managed just 16 yards on six carries and a […]

Kerryon Johnson Gets Four Touches in Dress Rehearsal

Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson, the team's second-round pick, was the third running back to receive a carry behind LeGarrette Blount, who started, and Ameer Abdullah, who was second in line out of the Lions backfield on Friday night. Overall, Johnson acquitted himself nicely, gaining 25 yards on his four carries (zero targets), […]

Marvin Jones Quiet On Friday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones only had one reception for 12 yards during Friday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jones’ reception came on Detroit’s first drive, but he was not targeted again until the opening drive of the third quarter. Jones’ ADP has remained steady most of the summer, going around the […]

Hakeem Valles Shines Against Tampa Bay

Detroit Lions tight end Hakeem Valles continued his strong preseason on Friday night, catching three passes for 38 yards. Valles showed his big-play potential, with all three receptions being at least 12 yards long. The third-year tight end has been impressing the coaching staff thus far, having spent time with the first-team offense in practice […]

Luke Willson Leaves Game With Knee Injury

Detroit Lions tight Luke Willson was forced to leave Friday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a knee injury; he did not return. The severity of the injury is unknown, and it is possible that Detroit kept him from returning to the game as a precautionary measure. However, Willson was not targeted when […]
