Jaguars Release Thomas Rawls
The Jacksonville Jaguars have released Thomas Rawls, who was expected to enter the year as the team's fourth back. While this could mean that someone else on the Jaguars' current roster makes the team, it might be better to assume this is the first part of a move for Jacksonville to sign a third-down back […]

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) could be ready for the Week 1 opener against the New Orleans Saints, says Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien.

Justin Carter 5 years agoWill Fuller Expected To Play Week 1
Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller is expected to play in Week 1, per Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien. Houston opens on Monday night this year against the Saints, and while New Orleans is a difficult matchup, Fuller's rapport with quarterback Deshaun Watson has been impressive in the past. A healthy Fuller would be […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJoe Webb Expected To End Up On IR
Houston Texans quarterback Joe Webb (foot) will likely be placed on the Injured Reserve, ending his season before it began. Webb was expected to be the team's third quarterback and also contribute on special teams, but now it looks like Houston will stick with Deshaun Watson and A.J. McCarron at the position. This news opens […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoTerrelle Pryor Released
The Jacksonville Jaguars have released wide receiver Terrelle Pryor. Limited to just one preseason game because of a hamstring injury, Pryor's upside as a big target in the red zone wasn't able to outweigh the negatives. This should open a spot for Tre McBride to make the final roster, as Marqise Lee's slow recovery from […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJordan Thomas Sees Heavy Minutes Against Rams
Houston Texans tight end Jordan Thomas played late into the team's preseason finale against the Rams on Thursday. He caught two passes for 19 yards. There's been a big shift in the Texans depth chart this preseason, as Darren Fells has gone from the roster bubble to the clear starting role at tight end. Thomas, […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoKaran Higdon Tries In Preseason Finale
Houston Texans running back Karan Higdon rushed for 25 yards on eight carries while adding two receptions for 16 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but it might be a case of "too little, too late" for the undrafted rookie. Higdon appears to be clearly on the bad end of the […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoDamarea Crockett Struggles Against Rams
Houston Texans running back Damarea Crockett is likely still in competition to back up Duke Johnson and take some early down work, but Thursday's preseason finale didn't offer the Texans the best look at him. Crockett gained just 14 yards on his seven carries and added a four-yard reception as well. He was outplayed by […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJoe Webb Suffers Foot Injury
Houston Texans quarterback Joe Webb left Thursday's preseason loss to the Rams with a foot injury that some have called "serious," placing huge doubts on his ability to be Houston's third quarterback. With A.J. McCarron having just recovered from a thumb injury, it's possible we see the Texans roster just two quarterbacks depending on the […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoTre McBride Leads Jaguars In Receiving Yards
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Tre McBride is right there on the roster bubble, but he tried to assert himself and claim that final receiver spot in Thursday's preseason loss to the Falcons.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Ryquell Armstead ran the ball six times for 40 yards while also adding a 10-yard reception in Thursday's preseason loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Armstead is expected to start the year as the number-three back in Jacksonville behind Leonard Fournette and Alfred Blue, but Blue is dealing with an ankle […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoGardner Minshew Finishes Preseason Without Touchdown
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew did enough this preseason to claim the team's backup job, but after going 11-for-26 for just 79 yards in the preseason finale against the Falcons, Minshew officially ends the preseason without a touchdown pass. Sure, it was the preseason, but it's still not an encouraging sign for a team to […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a battle on their hands for the sixth wide receiver spot -- if they choose to keep six -- between Terrelle Pryor and Tre McBride, but Jacksonville.com's John Reid suggests we should keep an eye on C.J.

Justin Carter 5 years agoJordan Thomas Will Play Extensively Against Rams
Houston Texans tight end Jordan Thomas is expected to see extended snaps in Thursday's preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams. NFL teams usually don't play their starters in the final game, so this appears to be confirmation that Thomas has fallen behind Darren Fells -- and possibly behind Jordan Akins -- on the depth […]

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells is going to be the likely starter at the position, says The Athletic's Aaron Reiss.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall Current ADP: ~145 In 2018, Kirk Cousins finished as the fantasy QB13, which is just at the edge of the QB1 tier.

Justin Carter 5 years agoDamarea Crockett Impressive In Limited Touches
Houston Texans running back Damarea Crockett had just four touches in Saturday's preseason loss to the Dallas Cowboys, but he had 27 rushing yards and five receiving yards on those touches.

Houston Texans running back Karan Higdon carried the ball a team-high 13 times for 28 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Houston Texans quarterback Joe Webb had a rough one in Saturday's preseason loss to the Dallas Cowboys, going 8-for-21 passing the ball for 62 yards and a pair of interceptions.

Justin Carter 5 years agoDeshaun Watson Plays One Series Against Cowboys
Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson played just one series in Houston's preseason loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He was sacked twice and watched teammate Lamar Miller get carted off the field, which probably contributed to head coach Bill O'Brien sending his star quarterback to the bench. Watson has the chance to be a top-five fantasy […]

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (knee) is feared to have suffered a torn ACL in Saturday's preseason loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
