Texans Starters Should Play More Against Rams

After key players like quarterback Deshaun Watson were limited to just one drive per game in the team's first two preseason games, the Houston Texans are expected to play all of their healthy starters in Saturday's contest with the Los Angeles Rams. While it remains to be seen how long head coach Bill O'Brien will […]

Kareem Hunt Needs to Improve on Saturday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has been disappointing throughout the first two weeks of the preseason. Hunt has rushed for 16 yards on eight attempts during two games. It's a small sample size, but basically every other back in Chiefs camp has been playing better than Hunt. There is still plenty of time […]

Patrick Mahomes Needs to Find Consistency on Saturday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been fairly decent throughout the preseason. He connected on a huge 69-yard touchdown to Tyreek Hill during their second preseason game. However, besides that pass Mahomes has been mediocre and underwhelming in camp. The word from Chiefs camp is that Mahomes is struggling with interceptions, but he's only […]

Josh Gordon Activated From The Non-Football Injury List

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon was activated from the non-football injury list on Saturday. Gordon will now be able to take part in practices with the team and is expected to be on the field for team walkthroughs on Saturday. Gordon returned to camp last week but had to wait for clearance from the […]

Ty Montgomery Leaves Game with Foot Injury

Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery (foot) left Green Bay’s third preseason game against the Oakland Raiders with a foot injury. There aren’t many specifics about the injury but head coach Mike McCarthy said it wasn’t of a serious nature. Montgomery had four carries for 12 yards before he left the game. He also […]

Aaron Rodgers Sits Out Preseason Game

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was a healthy scratch for Green Bay’s third preseason game against the Oakland Raiders. Green Bay rested a number of their starters in the game. This is a departure from past preseasons where veterans usually saw their biggest work in the third preseason game. At this point, Rodgers really […]

Devin Funchess Looks Impressive In Limited Opportunity

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess was given a limited opportunity to showcase his talent in the third week of preseason. Catching two passes for a combined 35 yards, he was limited in coverage against the impressive Stephon Gilmore. Funchess was able to flash as Cam Newton threw a 28-yard pass to him while in […]

Greg Olsen Continues To Be Leading Receiver

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen continued to show that he is the preferred receiver for quarterback Cam Newton. Olsen operated as a short option for Newton against the New England Patriots, hauling in four receptions for a total of 44 yards. Olsen was Newton's main target in the Week 3 encounter, finishing the game […]

C.J. Anderson Struggles To Make An Impact

Carolina Panthers running back C.J. Anderson continued his mixed preseason in Week 3. Anderson only had two rushes and one reception totaling 18 all purpose yards. Going into draft season, Anderson's value has continued to decrease with teammate Christian McCaffrey looking as the clear lead back in the backfield. His preseason showing has led to his […]

Christian McCaffrey Stakes Claim As Bell-Cow Running Back

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey started the preason looking as though he would split the majority of the carries with C.J. Anderson. During the preseason games, it has become clear that he is the lead back, taking the vast majority of the snaps with the starters. That trend continued in Week 3, with McCaffrey […]

Cam Newton Connects Well With Receivers

Carolina Panthers Quarterback Cam Newton connected well with his receivers in the third week preseason encounter with the New England Patriots. Newton finished the game with 11 completions from 17 attempts, amassing a total of 142 yards in the air. He also rushed for 13 yards, showcasing his duel threat ability. It was the overall […]

Brandon McManus Returns to Form

After a disappointing 2017 - which saw 19 kickers put up more fantasy points than Brandon McManus - the leg of the Broncos looks ready to turn things around in 2018 as he went 5-5 in Friday's preseason win against the Redskins. McManus hit from 56, 50, 45, and 34 yards (twice), showing that he […]

Jeff Heuerman Still a Huge Question Mark

Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman may be using hot tub film sessions to build chemistry with Case Keenum, but the on-field results were not exactly on display in the Broncos 29-17 win Friday. Heuerman saw just one target - a six yard reception - which matched that of Jake Butt - who brought in […]

Emmanuel Sanders Finds the End Zone Friday

Denver Broncos wide receive Emmanuel Sanders is an explosive playmaker - which OC Bill Musgrave would be wise to exploit - but do not expect to see Sanders put up many rushing TDs when it is all said and done. The bigger takeaway from the Broncos' 29-17 victory Friday night is that Sanders has now averaged […]

Royce Freeman Among A Platoon In Denver

If you were hoping Friday's "dress rehearsal" would provide some clarity into which Broncos' RB you will want to own in 2018, we are sorry to disappoint. As expected, both Royce Freeman and Devontae Booker saw work with the first team (as did Phillip Lindsay) - five carries for Freeman, three for Booker. While Freeman […]

Eli Manning Accurate In Friday's Preseason Win

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 17 of his 23 pass attempts for 188 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Friday's preseason victory against the New York Jets. He turned in a QB rating of 97.7, and was not sacked in the outing, either. He really jelled nicely with wide receiver Sterling Shepard […]

Concussion Ruled Out For Rhett Ellison

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison (eye) left Friday's preseason game against the New York Jets with an eye injury. Head coach Pat Shurmur said after the game that Ellison had blurred vision in his eye, but concussion was ruled out. The backup tight end is likely to undergo further testing, but the belief […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Held Out Of Friday's Action

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. did not play in Friday's preseason game against the New York Jets. Head coach Pat Shurmur explained Beckham's absence after the victory. "I just felt like we didn't want to put him out there," Shurmur said. Basically, Beckham was a healthy scratch, as the team tries to […]

Sterling Shepard Posts Seven Receptions In Win

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard was good for seven receptions and 78 yards on his seven targets in Friday's preseason victory against the New York Jets. Shepard was working as the No. 1 overall receiver with Odell Beckham Jr. still on the shelf. The receiver was more than capable of handling the workload, […]

Case Keenum Continues to Make His Case For Fantasy Consideration

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum saw just two drives and looked everything but comfortable in the Broncos preseason opener. Since then, though? A 65% completion rate and 226 yards in about three quarters of play - including his 12-for-18, 148 yard performance Friday night in Landover. At his current ADP of 193, Keenum is the […]

Cody Latimer Has Big Reception In Victory

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer had just one catch in Friday's preseason game against the New York Jets, but it was good for a 54-yard grab. The former receiver for the Denver Broncos has had a strong training camp and preseason, appearing to be in the driver's seat for the No. 3 receiver […]

Wayne Gallman, Jonathan Stewart Do Very Little

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman rushed for just 23 yards on 11 carries while posting 19 yards on four receptions Friday against the New York Jets. Veteran Jonathan Stewart was actually worse, posting minus-7 yards on his three totes with no catches. Neither has been able to seize the opportunity with rookie Saquon […]

Quincy Enunwa Back In Action On Friday

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (thumb) returned to action in Friday's preseason game against the New York Giants. He posted two receptions for 28 yards on three targets. Enunwa, who missed the 2017 season due to a neck injury, is jockeying with Terrelle Pryor for the No. 3 receiver job behind starters Robby […]

Terrelle Pryor Scores In Friday's Preseason Loss

New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (ankle) posted two receptions for 16 yards and a touchdown on his only two targets in Friday's preseason game against the New York Giants. It wasn't an eye-popping stat line, but it was nice to see Pryor find the end zone. He has been to recover from a […]

Bilal Powell Finds End Zone In Preseason Loss

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell rushed 10 times for just 24 yards in Friday's preseason loss against the New York Giants, but at least he was able to reach the end zone. He was targeted just once in the passing game and Powell had no receptions. He is expected to open the regular […]

Isaiah Crowell Doesn't Do Much In Limited Work

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (concussion) was able to play in Friday's preseason game against the New York Giants. He carried four times for just six yards while adding two receptions for 18 yards before checking out in the first half. While he wasn't necessarily sharp, it was a good sign that he […]

Teddy Bridgewater Does Nothing To Hurt His Stock

New York Jets quarterback Teddy Bridgewater played in the second half of Friday's preseason game against the New York Giants, completing 11 of his 15 pass attempts for 104 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. He was sacked twice and posted a QB rating of 92.1. Bridgewater has had a great training camp and preseason, […]

Sam Darnold Sharp In Friday's Preseason Loss

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold completed eight of his 16 pass attempts for 86 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Friday's preseason loss against the New York Giants.

Case Keenum Sharp In Preseason Road Win

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum completed 12 of his 18 pass attempts for 148 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions while turning in a 91.9 QB rating in Friday's preseason road win against the Washington Redskins. Keenum had plenty of time to operate in the pocket, and the offensive line only allowed one sack of […]

Emmanuel Sanders Shows Off Wheels In Win

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders racked up 61 yards on four receptions in Friday's preseason game against the Washington Redskins and he was targeted a game-high eight times. Not only did he have the longest reception (33 yards) of the contest, but he also had the longest run of the game for the Denver […]
