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 […]

Golden Tate Hauls In Two Passes

Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate caught two of his four targets for 23 yards. After pulling in an 11-yard pass on the team’s first drive, Tate’s other reception came in the third quarter, as Detroit let their starters go back out after halftime. Tate had played sparingly in the Lions’ first two preseason games, […]

Jimmy Graham Does Not Play in Preseason Game

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham did not play in Friday’s preseason game against the Oakland Raiders. Green Bay rested most of their starters in the game. While it is good that Graham wasn’t opening himself up to getting injured, it would have been nice to see him and Rodgers on the field together. […]

Kenny Golladay Has One Catch On Friday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay caught one of his five targets on Friday. His only reception was a 36-yard pass that setup a field goal on the Lions first drive of the game. Golladay led all starters in targets, with all of them coming from Matthew Stafford. Aside from his reception, the other four […]

Detroit Lions Starters Play Into Third Quarter

The Detroit Lions first-team offense played the entire first half, as well as the first drive of the third quarter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, before giving way to the backups. In the first half, the offense administered scoring drives of 69 and 90 yards, respectively. However, both drives ended with just field goals. Quarterback […]

Davante Adams Sits in Third Preseason Game

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams did not play in Friday’s preseason game against the Oakland Raiders. Green Bay rested most of their starters during the game. Adams hasn’t seen much action this preseason and may not see any more. He has played well in the snaps he has seen and has provided no […]

Taywan Taylor Looking To Build On Impressive Performance

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor stole the show last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as he had four catches for 95 yards and two touchdowns. With the starting offense expected to play about a half this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, look for Taylor to once again be a major part of the […]

Titans Need To Get Corey Davis Going Saturday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis was held without a catch last week in limited action, but with the great offseason reviews, look for him to be more of a focal point of the offense Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The starting offense is expected to play about a half, giving Davis his most extended […]

Geronimo Allison Sees Some Action in Third Preseason Game

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison caught two passes for 40 yards in Friday’s preseason game against the Oakland Raiders. Green Bay rested most of their starters, so Allison seeing action isn’t the biggest endorsement. Green Bay’s second string offensive linemen struggled in pass protection during the game which limited much of Green Bay’s, […]

Delanie Walker Not Playing Versus Steelers

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker has been out of practice the last two weeks with an undisclosed injury, almost certainly guaranteeing that he will not take the field Saturday when the Titans face the Pittsburgh Steelers. This should come as no surprise as the veteran has nothing to prove going into his sixth year […]

Many Rams Starters May Sit on Saturday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff and running back Todd Gurley are both expected to miss Saturday's third preseason game against the Houston Texans. Neither player has seen a snap this preseason and might not before Week 1 of the regular season. Most of the starting receiving unit has not seen any action through two […]

Martavis Bryant Finishes With Only One Catch

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant had only one catch in Friday's win versus the Packers. Bryant's role in the offense has been in flux during camp and preseason, as he is fighting for the third-string receiving job. He ended the game with one catch for 14 yards, but it came from backup quarterback Connor […]

Jared Goff Likely Won't Play Saturday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff is likely going to sit out the third preseason game against the Houston Texans on Saturday. Head coach Sean McVay has already committed to sitting running back Todd Gurley. There is a good chance that Goff does not see any action which is odd for starters to sit out […]

Todd Gurley Won't Play on Saturday

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley will not play in the third preseason game against the Houston Texans on Saturday. It's pretty unusual for a team not to play their starters for at least a series or two during the preseason. There is a good chance that we won't see Gurley and quarterback Jared […]

Doug Martin Has First Real Production This Preseason

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin put together a solid game in the limited chances he had. Martin finished the game with six carries for 24 yards, with a long run of 16 yards. Prior to this game, Martin had only seen one carry in the preseason, as he didn't dress for the Raiders most […]

Derrick Henry And Dion Lewis Should Get More Work

Tennessee Titans running backs Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis only played two series last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but head coach Mike Vrabel has been vocal this week about wanting to run the ball more with the starting offense. With the starters expected to play about a half, both Henry and Lewis have […]

Aaron Jones Quiet in Preseason Debut

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones saw his first action this preseason in Friday’s game against the Oakland Raiders. Jones missed some time due to a hamstring injury earlier in the preseason. Jones had five carries for 18 yards in the game. Green Bay rested all of their starting offensive linemen and the backups […]

Amari Cooper Hauls In First Catch Of The Preseason

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper brought in his first catch of the preseason in Friday's game versus the Packers. Cooper played a limited role in their first matchup against the Lions, then sat out completely in last week's game versus the Rams. Cooper hauled in a catch on the first play of the game […]

Marcus Mariota Expected To Play About A Half

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota and the starting offense should get a longer look Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers with reports of about a half of playing time. Prior to this week, Mariota has only played three series in the preseason but has scored two touchdowns. The Titans will try to carry that efficiency forward […]

Josh Rosen To Suit Up Against Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (hand) is expected to play in the team's third preseason game despite missing Wednesday's practice. Rosen returned to practice on Wednesday and is expected to play a pivotal role in the team's game against the Cowboys. Playing in relief of Bradford, Rosen should be considered a solid DFS option. […]

Tyreek Hill Should Continue to Impress on Saturday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been the best receiving option for the Chiefs this preseason, which should not be surprising to anyone. Hill is coming off a solid campaign last season, and looks like he has not missed a step despite switching quarterbacks. Youngster Patrick Mahomes connected a 69-yard touchdown with Hill […]

Chris Warren III Punches In Another Touchdown

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Chris Warren III came away with another touchdown in Friday's preseason victory over the Packers. Warren III is currently fighting for a roster spot, which is looking more and more likely, especially since Deandre Washington recently had knee surgery. Warren III finished the game with 54 yards on the ground […]

Jamaal Williams Rests in Third Preseason Game

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams did not play in Friday’s preseason game against the Oakland Raiders. Williams is not dealing with an injury. He was one of many Green Bay starters that did not suit up for the game. Head coach Mike McCarthy usually plays his starters heavier minutes in the third preseason […]

Brice Butler Not Ruled Out For Sunday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Brice Butler (foot) has not been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. If Butler is able to play, he could continue to challenge Chad Williams and Christian Kirk for the No. 2 wide receiver spot. Butler has minimal fantasy value, but if he is able to carve out a […]

Travis Kelce Should See More Action Against Bears

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been quiet through the first two games of the preseason. Kelce has been held to just four receptions and 49 yards this preseason. The Chiefs don't want to risk an injury, so it's understandable why Kelce has not seen a huge amount of playing time. However, Kelce […]

Derek Carr Has Limited Showing In Preseason Game

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr only played one series in Friday's preseason game versus the Packers. It was reported earlier in the week that the Raiders' starters would play into the second quarter but did not turn out to be the case. In his limited time, Carr finished with only two completions for 68 yards […]
