Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Diontae Johnson caught one of his three targets for a seven-yard gain in a 22-13 preseason win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. Johnson got the start for the Browns and was able to haul in a seven-yard pass on the team's first drive of the game, helping lead to a four-yard
Ahmani Marshall touchdown run. The veteran wideout fared better than he did in the team's preseason opener last week, where he was unable to corral either of his two targets. Johnson and
Jamari Thrash appear to be locked into a battle for the team's WR3 job behind
Jerry Jeudy and
Cedric Tillman. He will look to separate himself from Thrash next week in Cleveland's preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Cedric Tillman caught his lone target for an 18-yard gain in a 22-13 preseason win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. Tillman got the start and played for a short time after he did not suit up for the team's preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers last week. The third-year wideout hauled in his lone target on the Browns' second drive of the game. Tillman had some big weeks late in the 2024 season before a concussion ended his year early, but he still holds plenty of fantasy value as a sleeper in a Cleveland receiver room that is wide open behind
Jerry Jeudy. He's worth a look as a dart throw WR6 late in fantasy drafts later this summer.

Cleveland Browns running back
Pierre Strong Jr. carried the ball 13 times for 89 yards and caught four of his five targets for 10 yards in a 22-13 preseason win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. With
Jerome Ford inactive, Strong got the start and led the team in rushing in the game. He made a good impression as he averaged 6.8 yards per carry, including a 54-yard run that he ripped off early in the fourth quarter. Strong is fighting for a depth role behind Ford and
Dylan Sampson as the Browns near their preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday.

Cleveland Browns quarterback
Dillon Gabriel completed 13 of his 18 passes for 143 yards and an interception in a 22-13 preseason win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. Gabriel also rushed twice for one yard and lost a fumble in the win. The rookie signal-caller got off to a fast start, completing eight of his nine pass attempts in the first quarter before cooling off in the second. Gabriel led a touchdown drive and two field-goal drives during his half of play, but his interception was ugly as he threw a 75-yard pick-six early in the second quarter. Gabriel, who missed last week's preseason opener with a hamstring injury, will look to continue to compete to open the regular season as the Browns' starting quarterback. The team's preseason finale comes against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday.

Kicker
Jake Moody was responsible for nearly all of the 49ers' points in their 22-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday. Moody tacked on the extra point for
Jeff Wilson Jr.'s touchdown in the second quarter and was 5-for-6 on field goal attempts. The lone miss was from 53 yards out, but the 25-year-old hit from 26, 30, 44, and 50 yards away before capping his day off with a 59-yarder as time expired to put San Francisco over the top. The performance was encouraging, though fantasy managers still don't need to go out of their way to select him in drafts. Last season, Moody was 10-for-20 on kicks beyond 40 yards, and since joining the league in 2023, his 76.3% conversion rate ranks last among kickers with at least 30 field goal attempts in that time. Moody gets one last tune-up before the regular season when the 49ers host the Chargers on August 23.

Wide receiver
Robbie Chosen caught five of his seven targets for 92 receiving yards in the 49ers' 22-19 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday. His numbers led the team in each category in San Francisco's second preseason game. The 32-year-old veteran is buried on the depth chart, even with the statuses of
Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and
Jauan Jennings (calf) in question. Chosen spent each of the last two seasons with the Miami Dolphins, shuttling between their practice squad and regular roster. The journeyman wideout spent the 2024 preseason with the 49ers but was among the final cuts when the team finalized its 53-man roster ahead of the regular season. Chosen's final in-game audition for a roster spot will come August 23 when the Niners wrap up the preseason against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Running back
Jeff Wilson Jr. scored the 49ers' lone touchdown in the team's 22-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday. It was Wilson's first game back with his former team after having spent the last three seasons with the Dolphins. The 29-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Niners earlier this week after
Ameer Abdullah (ribs) was placed on injured reserve. Wilson finished the game with just 16 yards on the ground, but his eight rushing attempts were second-most on the team. He also had another 16 yards on his sole reception of the game. Wilson will have one more chance to jockey for placement on the depth chart before the regular season. The 49ers' final preseason game is August 23 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Quarterback
Mac Jones was a crisp 13-for-16 for 135 passing yards in the 49ers' 22-19 win over the Raiders on Saturday afternoon. Jones got off to a shaky start after taking the reins from
Brock Purdy, who helmed San Francisco's first drive. On his third pass attempt of the game, Jones sent a ball to wide receiver
Robbie Chosen, but the route was easily jumped by Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn, who intercepted the pass. Jones recovered well following the miscue, putting touch on his passes and hitting receivers in stride before handing things over to
Carter Bradley in the fourth quarter. Jones' place as Purdy's direct backup on San Francisco's depth chart is secure. He will get one more chance to see live action before the regular season in the 49ers' final preseason game on August 23 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Quarterback
Brock Purdy saw his first action of the 2025 preseason, though he was limited to just the first drive of the 49ers' 22-19 win over the Raiders on Saturday. It was announced prior to the game that Purdy would manage the first one or two drives, depending on their length, so that he could get in-game reps and develop chemistry with his receiving corps. The newly minted 265-million-dollar man showed plenty of chemistry with second-year wideout
Ricky Pearsall. Purdy's first three pass attempts went to Pearsall, who secured them all for a total of 42 yards. Purdy completed two other passes on the 11-play drive, finishing 5-for-7 for 66 yards. Four of the five completions went for at least 11 yards. The 49ers' next and final tune-up before the regular season comes on August 23 when they take on their former head coach, Jim Harbaugh, and his Los Angeles Chargers.

New York Jets wide receiver
Garrett Wilson could not bring in any of his three targets in Saturday's 31-12 loss to the New York Giants. Quarterback
Justin Fields attempted just five passes across the Jets' two series, with three of them going the 25-year-old's way. However, Wilson was arguably interfered with on two of his three opportunities, so the former Ohio State teammates aren't totally to blame for the seeming lack of chemistry. Either way, it appears that the wideout will be a target-hog again in his fourth professional campaign. A run-heavy New York offense could cause touchdown opportunities to be sparse. Wilson should be productive anyway, given the lack of receiving options around him. Look for him and his new QB to notch their first connection in the Jets' preseason finale, a home matchup with the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

New York Jets quarterback
Justin Fields completed 1-of-5 passes for four yards in Saturday's 31-12 loss to the New York Giants. He added five yards on his lone rush. The 26-year-old and the other Jets' starters got just two drives in this one, and the signal-caller had a rough time connecting with his intended targets. Still, he managed to score three points on their second possession, despite dropping back only twice. If that drive is any indication of how Gang Green projects to operate, we can expect some iteration of a West Coast offense from them - bombarding defenses with a run-centric approach and a short, quick passing attack. It seems likely that Fields and the rest of the first-stringers will get an extended look in their preseason finale as a final tune-up before the regular season. That comes against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles next Friday night.
