Cole Kmet (TE, CHI) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~105 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~115 ANALYSIS: Chicago’s top tight end finally broke out of Jimmy Graham’s shadow and more than doubled his reception, receiving yards, and target totals in his sophomore season.

New York Giants wide receivers Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (undisclosed) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Sunday's contest vs. the Jets.

Is Kadarius Toney Injured or Healthy? Where Should I Draft Toney for Fantasy Football

In a very talented draft class, the New York Giants selected wide receiver Kadarius Toney 20th overall last year, as the fourth receiver off the board.

Rex Burkhead Ends Preseason Strong

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead touched the ball on the team's first series in Thursday's preseason finale against the 49ers with a two-yard run that came in the middle of three runs by rookie Dameon Pierce.

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce ran the ball six times for 37 yards in Thursday's 17-0 preseason win over the 49ers. He found the end zone on a one-yard run in the first quarter.

Justin Watson Catches One Pass In Preseason Finale

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson had an impressive preseason. It ended with a bit of a dud, as he had just one catch for nine yards.

Shane Buechele Throws Pair Of Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Shane Buechele ended the preseason on a high note, going 11-for-17 with 166 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Packers. Buechele's an intriguing player.
