Brian Robinson Jr. to be RB2
Brian Robinson Jr. was brought on to be the second back in San Francisco. This shouldn't come as a shock given how well Robinson performed during his days in Washington. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said they've had their eyes on Robinson for a while and are pumped to have him in San Francisco. The oft-injured Christian McCaffrey is going to lead the way, but Robinson appears to be second on the pecking order. That means that Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) will fall to third on the depth chart, which will hurt his overall fantasy value. Robinson is well worth a stash in fantasy leagues given that McCaffrey has been limited to seven games or less in three of the last five seasons.Source: Nick Wagoner
According to Nick Wagoner, running back Simi Fehoko Snags Another Touchdown on Saturday
Simi Fehoko was able to grab a second touchdown reception in as many preseason games. During the 20-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday, Fehoko saw two targets and caught one of them for a 10-yard touchdown towards the end of the first quarter. The former fifth-round pick finishes the preseason with three receptions for 31 yards and two touchdowns. While he's still a long shot even in dynasty leagues, Fehoko could be hanging around as a depth option for the Cardinals this season.Source: ESPN
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Tua Tagovailoa Plays Three Drives in Preseason Finale
Tua Tagovailoa played into the second quarter on Saturday, as the Dolphins completed their preseason with a 14-7 win over the Jaguars. Tua completed four of his eight pass attempts for 49 yards and was sacked twice. After going three-and-out on his first two possessions, he connected with Malik Washington for a touchdown early in the second quarter to cap his final drive of the day and added a two-point conversion toss to Pharaoh Brown. Tua and the Dolphins head to Indianapolis for a Week 1 matchup with the Colts. His pass protection could limit his fantasy upside after struggling this preseason, but the sixth-year quarterback has a high ceiling in coach Mike McDaniel's offense and will start the year healthy. He begins the season as a mid-level fantasy option with the potential for big plays and spike weeks.Source: ESPN.com
Miami Dolphins quarterback Bam Knight Finishes Preseason with Strong Showing
Bam Knight saved his best game for last in the preseason victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday. The 24-year-old led all rushers in yards and touchdowns after he registered 83 yards on five carries and a big 67-yard touchdown run. Knight was able to find a hole right up the middle and break away from the Raiders' defense at the end of the third quarter. There hasn't been any official word on the depth chart yet, but Knight could have put plenty of pressure on Emari Demercado and DeeJay Dallas for the final RB spot.Source: ESPN
Arizona Cardinals running back Malik Washington Continues Showing Connection with Tua Tagovailoa
Malik Washington seems to have secured the team's third receiver spot on the depth chart with a big preseason. Washington caught all three of his targets in Saturday's preseason finale and finished with 41 yards and a touchdown. He was targeted on three of Tua Tagovailoa's eight pass attempts and continues to show a good rapport with the Dolphins' starting QB. Star receiver Tyreek Hill did not play this preseason, and when he's in the mix, Washington's role will likely be reduced. However, the second-year receiver from Virginia looks like he'll be a trusted option for Tua, making him worth a late-round flier in standard leagues since he brings good upside after a strong offseason, training camp, and preseason.Source: ESPN.com
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Clayton Tune Throws Touchdown In Preseason Finale
Clayton Tune was under duress for most of the game during the 20-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, but was able to lead the team to a touchdown. He finished the game with 83 yards and a touchdown on 12-for-20 passing while adding five carries for 47 yards. He also took five sacks, which makes sense when the Cardinals weren't playing any starters in this preseason finale. Tune seems to be locked into the third-string spot after Jacoby Brissett posted a solid couple of preseason games. Before this final game, Tune only accrued 47 passing yards, one interception, and no touchdowns.Source: ESPN

Adonai Mitchell Catches One Pass in Preseason Finale
Adonai Mitchell caught his lone target for a four-yard gain in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Mitchell got the start but was overshadowed by Laquon Treadwell, who popped off for 116 yards and a touchdown in the win. The second-year receiver's spot on the roster is safe but he appears to be behind Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce on the depth chart. That being said, Downs is already dealing with a hamstring injury, a situation that could give Mitchell a larger role early in the season. For now, Mitchell is nothing more than a late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts.Source: NFL.com
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Laquon Treadwell Explodes for 116 Yards, Touchdown in Preseason Win
Laquon Treadwell caught all six of his targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Treadwell got the start and played throughout the first half, doing most of his damage on a 59-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. The former first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings is looking to survive final cuts after not appearing in any regular-season games in 2024 but he would not have a significant role on the Colts' offense even if he makes the team.Source: NFL.com
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver DJ Giddens Runs for 22 Yards in Preseason Win Over Bengals
DJ Giddens carried the ball six times for 22 yards in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Giddens got the start and played throughout the first quarter before calling it a day in the blowout win. The rookie running back has been competing to be the primary backup to Jonathan Taylor throughout camp and has a good chance at earning that role after Tyler Goodson and Khalil Herbert have both been sidelined by injuries. If Giddens does earn that role, he would be a strong late-round choice in fantasy drafts as a handcuff to Taylor, who has dealt with multiple injuries over the years.Source: NFL.com
Indianapolis Colts running back Riley Leonard Throws Touchdown in Preseason Finale
Riley Leonard completed 15 of his 20 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown and added a 14-yard rush in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Leonard got the start and looked sharp in the contest, finding Laquon Treadwell for a 59-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The Colts used a sixth-round pick on the former Notre Dame QB in this past NFL draft and he appears likely to open the year as the team's third quarterback behind Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson Sr. The Colts will now begin preparing for Week 1 and the Miami Dolphins.Source: NFL.com
Indianapolis Colts quarterback David Njoku Catches Two Balls in Preseason Tune-Up
David Njoku caught both of his targets for 20 yards in a 19-17 preseason win over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. Njoku got his first action of the preseason, catching a pair of balls from starter Joe Flacco in the team's final tune-up before they prepare to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. Njoku remains a rock-solid mid-range TE1 in fantasy leagues and should be a safe selection heading into drafts.Source: NFL.com
Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. Finds the End Zone in Preseason Win
Harold Fannin Jr. caught both of his targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in a 19-17 preseason win over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. Fannin played throughout the first quarter in tandem with David Njoku and caught Joe Flacco's lone touchdown toss, a 15-yarder with 6:33 left in the first. The rookie tight end was lined up as a wide receiver on the play, showing his versatility as the Browns have been trying to capitalize on his pass-catching skills. Fannin is unlikely to have a huge role from a fantasy perspective this season but he remains an intriguing dynasty prospect moving forward. He will now turn his attention toward the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1.Source: NFL.com
Cleveland Browns tight end Dillon Gabriel Throws Touchdown in Preseason Finale
Dillon Gabriel completed 12 of his 19 passes for 129 yards and one touchdown in a 19-17 preseason victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. Gabriel took over for Joe Flacco early in the second quarter and looked good, finding Gage Larvadain for a three-yard touchdown completion at the end of the quarter. The rookie has been battling with Shedeur Sanders for the backup QB role behind Flacco throughout camp. Gabriel easily outplayed Sanders on Saturday as the latter only converted one first down on his five drives, all of which resulted in a punt. Gabriel is likely to be the team's backup to Flacco when they take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1.Source: NFL.com
Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco Sharp in Preseason Win
Joe Flacco completed nine of his 10 passes for 71 yards and a touchdown in a 19-17 preseason win over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. Flacco got the start and played into the second quarter, finding tight end Harold Fannin Jr. for a 15-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter. Making his only appearance of the preseason, Flacco has already been named the Browns' starting quarterback heading into Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He settles in as a high-end QB3 in fantasy heading into drafts as the Cleveland offense is not expected to be very explosive this season.Source: NFL.com
