DeAndre Washington Needs To Impress In The Preseason

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 […]

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.

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.

Detrez Newsome Looks To Shine

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt saw more attempts in the second preseason game on Friday, but failed to do much with the ball. Hunt collected a total of 15 yards on seven attempts for an average of 2.1 yards per carry. It's early in camp, so the Chiefs aren't going to overload Hunt […]

Patrick Mahomes Plays Well on Friday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes started off slow in Friday's preseason game against the Falcons, but finished with a bang.

Bills Pass Defense Solid, Suspect Against the Run

The Buffalo Bills defense played well for the most part against the Cleveland Browns in Friday's 19-17 win. The Browns went only 11 of 24 through the air for a measly 83 yards.

Nathan Peterman Efficient in Closing Out Bills Victory

Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman is now fully in the hunt for the starter's role. A.J.

Peterman, although extremely limited, (two games started in 2017 rookie season, […]

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton stepped up his preparations for the regular season, putting in two quarters of work.
