Lions Fear Steve Longa Is Out For Season

Reports early Saturday that Detroit Lions linebacker Steve Longa (knee) is believed to have suffered a torn ACL have confirmed what most believed they saw Friday night when the third-year Rutgers product went down with a non-contact injury. Longa was slated for primary backup duties in the middle behind Jarrad Davis and was a core […]

Blake Bortles Inconsistent Against Vikings

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles played the entire first half in Saturday's preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings, finishing with 159 yards on 12-for-20 passing with an interception. Bortles also scrambled for 14 yards on a third and long play. The Jaguars signal caller had some impressive moments, but the overthrows and the missed opportunities […]

Lions Starters Dreadful Friday Night

Making his season debut, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford completed just two of five passes for 51 yards and was sacked twice over his three series of play. Poor offensive line play negated any production out of the key skill position players. It didn't help that running back Ameer Abdullah started the game with his trademark fumbling […]

Nyheim Hines Showing Well in Camp

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Nyheim Hines put together a strong performance during a joint practice with the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, catching four passes and scoring two touchdowns while getting reps with the first-team offense. Hines appeared to have some first-game jitters in the Colts' Week 1 preseason matchup, but fantasy owners would do […]

Christian Kirk Separates From Pack

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk has apparently separated from the pack in earning the No. 2 receiver job, according to head coach Steve Wilks. Although second year pro Chad Williams also impressed, it is Kirk that has caught the eye of Wilks early on. This is good news for Kirk dynasty owners, as his […]

K.J. Brent Carted Off Practice Field

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver K.J. Brent (knee) was carted off of the field during a joint practice with the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. Brent came up clutching his knee after making a catch and being pushed from behind, but the severity of the injury is unclear. Even though Brent wasn't going to be offering fantasy […]

Justin Davis, John Kelly Looking to Capitalize Saturday

Los Angeles Rams running backs Justin Davis and John Kelly are looking to capitalize on their impressive starts to the preseason. Kelly ran for 77 yards on 13 attempts in their preseason opener. Davis finished with 41 yards on seven attempts, but both players finished with the same yards per carry in that game. Todd […]

Latavius Murray Fumbles Twice on Saturday

Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray fumbled twice on Saturday and one of them was recovered by the Jacksonville Jaguars defense. This was a very strange display by Murray, as he only fumbled once in 11 starts last season. Murray had 12 yards on six carries against the Jaguars. This was a disappointing outing from […]

Jared Goff Should See Playing Time On Saturday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff did not play in the preseason opener against the Ravens. Quarterback Brandon Allen finished 10-for-15 for 73 yards and one touchdown, while Sean Mannion went 3-for-13 with 16 yards and one interception. There is no quarterback controversy for the Rams. Goff is going to be the starter, but the […]

Adam Thielen Still Has No Preseason Receptions

Minnesota Vikings wideout Adam Thielen has yet to catch an in-game pass from new quarterback Kirk Cousins. In Saturday's preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Thielen was targeted three times but each pass wound up incomplete. Thielen and Cousins had a fantastic repertoire with each other throughout training camp, so chemistry is not the issue. Saturday […]

Kirk Cousins Invisible on Saturday Afternoon

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins symbolized the entire first-team offense with his performance on Saturday. It was a sloppy offensive quarter which saw Cousins throw for 12 yards on 3-for-8 passing with no touchdowns or interceptions. To be fair to Cousins, the offensive line was atrocious as regular starters Mike Remmers, Rashod Hill and Pat […]

Frank Clark Returns For Saturday Night

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark is set to make his return to game action in Saturday night's preseason matchup with the Chargers. Clark had been sidelined since wrist surgery in June, but he's reportedly ready to go full speed. With the Legion of Boom disintegrated, the next generation of defensive players will need to […]

Josh Allen Not A Lock For Starting Job

ESPN.com's Mike Rodak believes it's too early to consider Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen a "lock" to start in Week 1 now that AJ McCarron (shoulder) is out with a broken collarbone. The call still comes down to head coach Sean McDermott, who has a high opinion of Nathan Peterman. Peterman had a solid […]

Carson Wentz Cleared For 11-On-11 Work

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) has been cleared for 11-on-11 drills when the team returns to practice Sunday. Head coach Doug Pederson said Wentz will likely need a full week of 11-on-11 drills before the team is comfortable saying he'll be ready for Week 1. That could start next week. With Wentz's status for […]

Griff Whalen Impressing, But Fighting For Roster Spot

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Griff Whalen had a positive preseason opener versus the Lions and is looking to build on that Saturday against the Rams. Whalen played on 14 offensive snaps against the Lions, with both the first and second units. He followed that up with a strong week of practice where he again worked […]

Josh Gordon Returns To Browns

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon announced on Saturday that he will be joining the team in training camp. He was away from the team to work on personal issues after he has been suspended multiple times by the league for violations of the substance-abuse policy. General manager John Dorsey said the team would ease […]

Harrison Butker Knocks Down Two Field Goals Friday

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker knocked down both of his field goal attempts during Friday's victory over the Falcons. Butker knocked down an impressive 49 yard field goal on Friday. His long during last season was 53 yards, so it's clear Butker has not lost a step. Butker knocked down 38/42 field goals last […]

EJ Manuel Set For Plenty Of Playing Time Saturday

Oakland Raiders quarterback EJ Manuel is in line for a good amount of playing time in Saturday's second preseason game against the Rams. Last week Raiders quarterback Connor Cook looked good versus the Lions, but he struggled in practice this week according to Matt Schneidman, Mercury News. Manuel was the number two quarterback last year […]

Christian Kirk and Chad Williams Play Well Against Saints

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Christian Kirk and Chad Williams both played well against the Saints, with 49 yards on four catches for Kirk and 44 yards on three catches for Williams. Kirk also had a touchdown in the game thrown by quarterback Josh Rosen. It seems as if the second receiver spot will be contested […]

David Johnson Rumbles Ahead Against Saints

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson had six carries for 22 yards and a touchdown in the team's second preseason game against the Saints as well as a reception for another five yards. Johnson was a difference maker for the Cardinals in 2015 and 2016 and looks to have healed well from his wrist injury […]

Gehrig Dieter Catches TD in Second Preseason Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Gehrig Dieter did not see much action during Friday's victory over the Falcons, but he was able to catch a touchdown. Dieter caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from veteran quarterback Chad Henne. Dieter finished the game with two receptions for 36 yards and one touchdown. It's unlikely that Dieter finishes […]

Mike Williams Gets Chance With Philip Rivers

In Week 1 of the preseason, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams proved he's healthy enough to play. In Week 2, he'll get the chance to catch some passes from first-string quarterback Philip Rivers and fans will get to see if the two seem to be on the same page. Williams returned a little […]

Josh Rosen Features In Second Preseason Game

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen played very well in the team's victory over the New Orleans Saints. After quarterback Sam Bradford had six completions on six attempts for 61 yards, Rosen stepped in and completed ten passes out of 16 attempts for 107 yards and a touchdown. Rosen stepped up after his first preseason and […]

DeAndre Washington Needs To Impress In The Preseason

Oakland Raiders running back Deandre Washington is looking to be on the chopping block when it comes to making the final roster. The Raiders have Marshawn Lynch and Doug Martin as their top two backs, with Jalen Richard as the clear number three option. Things continue to get tough for Washington since rookie running back […]

Travis Kelce Quiet in Second Preseason Game

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was held to just two receptions and 27 yards during Friday's victory over the Falcons. It's been a slow start to the preseason for Kelce, but he should see more action the next two weeks. Having Patrick Mahomes under helm should not change Kelce's fantasy value. He should […]

Chris Warren III Looking To Build On Strong First Game

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Chris Warren III is coming off a very strong game in the Raiders preseason opener, where he ran for 86 yards on 13 carries, which was a team high. According to Matt Schneidman, Mercury News, Raiders running backs coach Jemal Singleton said Warren needs to improve on his pass protection. […]

Sean Culkin Trying To Fill Big Shoes

The Los Angeles Chargers have been blessed with years of excellent tight end play, and second-year tight end Sean Culkin is going to try to step into some very big shoes. Culkin is mostly known as a blocking tight end, but after Hunter Henry was lost for the season, Culkin was presented with a golden opportunity. […]

Tyreek Hill Catches Touchdown on Friday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill put together a fairly solid game on Friday, which included a highlight catch that was likely the play of the night around the NFL. Hill caught four passes for 87 yards and one touchdown in the victory over the Falcons. He caught a 69-yard touchdown pass from quarterback […]

Derwin James Carrying High Hopes From Coaches

Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James may just be a rookie first-round draft pick, but his defensive coaches are already heaping praise on him about his football IQ before Week 2 of the preseason has come along. James was a late starter in training camp, but his play in the first preseason game seemed confident […]

Geremy Davis Needs To Be Special Teams Standout

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Geremy Davis did his part in Week 1 of the preseason by making a highlight-reel touchdown catch, but head coach Anthony Lynn has told reporters that something he's looking for out of a deep receiver is their performance in the kicking game. He specifically said Davis didn't stand out on […]
