Los Angeles Rams running back
Blake Corum rushed nine times for 32 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys. He also converted two targets into one reception for four yards. Although Corum was relatively inefficient in terms of yards, averaging just 3.6 per carry, his ability to find the end zone on two of nine carries is impressive. That rate isn't sustainable, but perhaps it offers a glimpse into his role for the upcoming season. At the very least, Corum is a candidate to carve out a short-yardage or goal-line role in a backfield that also features Pro Bowler
Kyren Williams and rookie
Jarquez Hunter. Heading into his second pro season, Corum isn't a reliable redraft option, but he's worth stashing at the end of your roster in deep dynasty formats.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back
Bhayshul Tuten had a solid debut in a 31-25 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. In Jacksonville's first preseason game, Tuten was the third running back on the field behind more experienced backs
Travis Etienne Jr. and
Tank Bigsby. The 23-year-old amassed a total of 40 yards and scored an eight-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. While the debut seems promising for the fourth-round rookie, he still has a lot of work to do if he wants to earn the starting role. Etienne Jr. started the game off with the rest of the starters, finishing with 16 total yards on three touches, while Bigsby came on to start the second drive, finishing with 24 yards on six carries. For now it seems Tuten is the third-string back, but his versatility could lead to him supplanting either of Etienne Jr. or Bigsby at some point this season.

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back
Corey Kiner had a solid day in his professional debut. In the 49ers' preseason opener against the Denver Broncos, Kiner led San Francisco's backfield in touches and yards, taking 10 carries for 45 yards and catching one pass for a two-yard gain. He also served as a kick returner, bringing one back for 17 yards. Kiner, an undrafted free agent, comes to the 49ers after back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons as a Cincinnati Bearcat and figures to see a lot of work in the preseason. San Francisco is unlikely to put
Christian McCaffrey's health on the line so early, and
Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) and fellow rookie
Jordan James (finger) are set to miss multiple weeks while nursing injuries. Kiner will have his next chance to impress next week against the Las Vegas Raiders.

San Francisco 49ers running back
Patrick Taylor Jr. scored the team's first points of the preseason on Saturday. Taylor ran it into the end zone from five yards out to seal the deal on the Niners' first drive. The touchdown ended up being the 49ers' only offensive score in their 30-9 loss to the Broncos. The fifth year back was otherwise unimpressive, finishing the game with seven yards on five carries. He also caught his sole target of the game for a four-yard gain. Taylor ranks fourth on San Francisco's early depth chart but drew the start with coach Kyle Shanahan opting to preserve
Christian McCaffrey's health, and with fellow backs
Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) and
Jordan James (finger) already ailing and expected to miss multiple weeks. Taylor will have to overcome this week's inefficiencies when the 49ers face the Las Vegas Raiders next week if he wants to maintain his position.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end
Robert Tonyan led the team with three catches for 49 yards in the 17-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The former Green Bay Packer was acquired by the Chiefs this offseason and could play a role in the offense this season. Tonyan was a touchdown machine in 2020, hauling in 11 touchdowns while catching passes from
Aaron Rodgers. While his fantasy value is capped playing behind
Travis Kelce, Tonyan could make himself valuable as a touchdown-scorer. Keep an eye on his usage once the regular season begins.

Kansas City Chiefs running back
Carson Steele led the running backs with 15 rushing yards in the 17-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Steele was involved in the Kansas City backfield following
Isiah Pacheco's early season injury, but ultimately ceded work to
Kareem Hunt. Steele will presumably remain third on the depth chart heading into the 2025 season, which means he's best left undrafted in most leagues.

Kansas City Chiefs running back
Kareem Hunt totaled 17 yards on three touches, with 12 yards on the ground and five through the air. Hunt to a backseat to starting running back
Isiah Pacheco, which will likely remain the case during the regular season. Pacheco was lighting the world on fire before his injury last season, and Hunt took his place. Hunt was a serviceable fantasy asset, mostly due to his goal-line role, but it remains to be seen if he will be viable this season. Hunt should be viewed as a valuable handcuff this draft season.

Kansas City Chiefs running back
Isiah Pacheco was on the field with the starters during the team's opening drive and had one carry for eight yards. His carry on the first drive was also his only carry of the game, but it was an encouraging sight to see. After a lackluster return from injury last season, questions surrounding the backfield began swirling, but Pacheco running with the starters is a good sign that the role is still his. Fantasy managers will hope to see a return to form for Pacheco this season after having the offseason to recover.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback
Patrick Mahomes threw one pass for one yard and a touchdown in the 17-20 preseason loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Mahomes found himself on the field earlier than expected after the Cardinals fumbled the opening kick deep in their own territory. The Chiefs found themselves on the Cardinals nine-yard line to begin the game and reached the one-yard line after an eight-yard rush by
Isiah Pacheco. Mahomes found
Jason Brownlee for a goal-line fade to cap off his only drive of the game. Mahomes has nothing to prove in these preseason games, and the team will likely continue to preserve him for the regular season. The hope is that he can bounce back from a mediocre fantasy season last year.

New York Jets quarterback
Justin Fields completed 3-of-4 passes for 42 yards in Saturday's 30-10 road win over the Green Bay Packers. He added 14 yards and a touchdown on two carries. Fields looked comfortable in New York's preseason opener, displaying his dual-threat ability on an 11-play, 79-yard touchdown drive capped with a 13-yard scamper. The former first-round pick didn't exactly open it up, with all four of his targets coming within ten yards of the line of scrimmage. Nonetheless, it's an encouraging debut for him, although it's worth noting that he didn't look to be running at his full capacity quite yet. Expect the Ohio State product to get a longer leash in his team's next outing, which comes against their cross-town rivals, the "hosting" New York Giants, next Saturday.
