Emmanuel Butler Doesn't Play In Preseason Opener

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Emmanuel Butler didn't play in Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Butler was putting up impressive play after impressive play to start training camp, but missed almost a week after landing awkwardly in practice. The team held him out of the opener, but we'll likely see him on […]

Dan Arnold Opens Preseason With Touchdown

New Orleans Saints tight end Dan Arnold caught two passes for 27 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Arnold is competing with Josh Hill to be the team's second tight end, but Hill still appears to be the favorite for that role. Arnold's got some more preseason DFS potential […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Grabs Touchdown Against Vikings

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Lil'jordan Humphrey caught a 33-yard touchdown from quarterback Taysom Hill in Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Humphrey showed off his strength on the play, absorbing contact after the catch and making his way into the end zone. He finished with two catches for 42 yards. Humphrey is […]

Devine Ozigbo Impressive On Limited Touches

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Devine Ozigbo only got four touches in Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but he did good work with those touches, rushing for 20 yards and adding a nine-yard catch. Ozigbo's most likely outcome right now is to be New Orleans' fourth running back, but he's got the […]

Dwayne Washington Leads Saints In Carries

New Orleans Saints running back Dwayne Washington carried the ball eight times for 36 yards in Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Washington and rookie Devine Ozigbo appear to be in a battle for the team's third running back role, and Washington out-touched Ozigbo eight to four in this one. It's the first preseason […]

Taysom Hill Continues To Show Versatility

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill played the second half of Friday's preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Hill was 8-for-14 throwing the ball for 80 yards and a touchdown. He also added 45 rushing yards on six carries. Hill can help this Saints team in a variety of ways this year, but he won't […]

Teddy Bridgewater Plays Well Against Vikings

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater played a strong first half in Friday's preseason loss to the Vikings, going 14-for-19 passing for 134 yards. He threw a touchdown to tight end Dan Arnold. Bridgewater remains the top backup in New Orleans, though he'll see the field less this year than third-string quarterback Taysom Hill, who […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/9/19): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

We have two games in the WNBA on Friday, with Connecticut visiting Minnesota and the Aces hosting the Sky. These aren't the most balanced games on paper, and they're relatively hard to project from a fantasy point-of-view than some other slates have been, but there are chances to find some major success. In this article, […]

Tyron Johnson Leads Texans In Receiving Yards

Houston Texans wide receiver Tyron Johnson caught two passes for a team-high 48 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Packers. Johnson has been a favorite for the team's final receiver spot, so Thursday's performance is a good sign for his chances of making the team. With Keke Coutee leaving Thursday's game with a leg […]

Josh Ferguson Finds End Zone

Houston Texans running back Josh Ferguson rushed for a touchdown in Thursday's preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers. But Ferguson only had two carries, finishing with two yards and failing to bring in his only target. Ferguson entered Thursday as the favorite to be Houston's third-down back, but the acquisition of Duke Johnson now […]

Damarea Crockett Has Touchdown Against Packers

Houston Texans running back Damarea Crockett rushed for 24 yards and a touchdown on six carries in Thursday's preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers. Crockett was the second running back in this one, but Houston was without starting rusher Lamar Miller and newly-acquired backup Duke Johnson. Crockett's ability near the goal-line should help him […]

Karan Higdon Leads Texans In Carries

Houston Texans running back Karan Higdon ran the ball a team-high eight times in Thursday's preseason loss to the Packers, finishing with 37 yards. Higdon wasn't targeted. Both Taiwan Jones and Damarea Crockett appear to be ahead of Higdon in the team's rotation, and while he put up solid numbers on Thursday, it doesn't seem […]

Taiwan Jones Starts First Preseason Game

Houston Texans running back Taiwan Jones started the team's first preseason game, rushing for 28 yards on seven carries and bringing in his only target for 11 yards. The battle to be the third running back in Houston is wide open, and Jones getting the first crack at the starting lineup isn't a huge surprise, […]

Joe Webb Plays Entire Game

With Deshaun Watson sitting out, A.J. McCarron injured, and Jordan Ta'amu just signed yesterday, Houston Texans quarterback Joe Webb did something you rarely see in the preseason: he quarterbacked an entire game. Webb was 25-for-40 throwing the ball for 286 yards, a touchdown, and two picks. Ta'amu will likely play in the next one, but […]

Willie Snead Catches Preseason Touchdown

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson in Thursday's preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was Snead's only catch of the game. Snead was the team's leading receiver in 2018, but his role looks a lot less defined heading into this season. He'll likely be the […]

Chris Moore Has 48 Yards Against Jaguars

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Chris Moore caught a 30-yard pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson on the Ravens' first drive of Thursday's preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He followed that up with an 18-yard reception from Jackson two drives later. Moore's 48 yards led the Ravens in this game, and his rapport with Jackson in […]

Miles Boykin Targeted Nine Times

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Miles Boykin was targeted nine times in Thursday's preseason win over the Jaguars, finishing with four catches for 39 yards. Boykin is expected to be a lock to make the team's final roster, so it'll be interesting to see if this level of usage keeps up as teams start to […]

Justice Hill Heavily Involved Against Jaguars

Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Justice Hill saw plenty of action in Thursday's preseason win over the Jaguars, carrying the ball 10 times for 33 yards while catching two passes for 16 yards. The Ravens clearly wanted to see what Hill could do in this one, and while it wasn't the most impressive performance, it […]

Lamar Jackson Throws Touchdown In Preseason Opener

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson got to play a short time in Thursday's preseason rout of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and in that time Jackson was 4-for-6 throwing the ball for 59 yards and a touchdown pass to Willie Snead. Jackson didn't run the ball, as the team isn't going to put him in harm's way […]

Keelan Cole Getting Return Chances

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole saw plenty of action as a return man in Thursday's preseason opener, including a long punt return touchdown that was nullified by a penalty. In addition to that play, Cole had two kick returns. While his offensive role appears to be diminishing this year, Cole being useful on special […]

Tre McBride Has Three Receptions Against Ravens

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Tre McBride was the only player on the Jaguars' team to catch more than one pass in Thursday's preseason loss to the Ravens. McBride caught three passes for 42 yards and was targeted five times. McBride's probably not a factor for the Jags in the regular season, but he could continue […]

Ryquell Armstead Struggles Against Ravens

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Ryquell Armstead rushed for 22 yards on eight carries in his preseason debut on Thursday. Armstead's 2.8 yards per carry weren't great, and with Alfred Blue running the ball more efficiently than Armstead, the rookie might be falling behind in the battle to be Leonard Fournette's main backup. Armstead also […]

Gardner Minshew Has Mediocre Debut

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew's preseason debut didn't go the way he was hoping. The rookie was 7-for-14 throwing the ball for 46 yards. He didn't throw a touchdown or an interception. Minshew also added three rushing yards on two carries. It wasn't a great performance, but it did surpass that of his competition for […]

Keke Coutee Leaves Game With Leg Injury

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee left Thursday's preseason meeting with the Green Bay Packers with some type of leg injury, though it's unclear if it was an issue with the leg, the knee, or the ankle. Coutee had just caught a nine-yard pass in the second quarter when he went down. If the injury […]

Jermaine Kearse Breaks Leg

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jermaine Kearse suffered a broken leg plus an ankle injury in Thursday's preseason meeting with the New England Patriots. It was a gruesome looking injury and while Kearse could theoretically return from a broken leg this season, the fact that Kearse reportedly suffered multiple injuries on the play does put his […]

Matt Ryan Not Dressed For Meeting With Dolphins

Earlier in the week, Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that quarterback Matt Ryan would play a few series in Thursday's preseason opener against the Dolphins. But with rain forecasted for the game, it appears the Falcons are playing it safe and resting Ryan. Matt Schaub and Matt Simms will split the snaps in […]

Jaguars Resting Most Starters Against Ravens

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a long list of inactives for Thursday's preseason meeting with the Ravens. Quarterback Nick Foles won't make his Jaguars debut. Neither will wide receiver Chris Conley, while running back Leonard Fournette and wide receivers Marqise Lee, Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark, and Terrelle Pryor. The Jaguars are taking resting their starters in […]

Parris Campbell Won't Play Preseason Opener

The Indianapolis Colts have ruled wide receiver Parris Campbell out for Thursday's preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. Campbell's been dealing with a hamstring issue, so the team is playing it safe with the rookie. In addition, tight ends Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron have been ruled out, as has quarterback Andrew Luck and running […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/8/19): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

After two days in a row of single-game slates, we're back today to cover Thursday's three game one. The Fever visit the Mystics in the early evening game, and then we get two late games as the Wings play in Seattle and the Mercury visit the Sparks. In this article, I'll be providing you with […]

Fool Me Once... Sophomore Wide Receivers Set to Bust Again

Players are supposed to make a leap in their second season, but the past few years have been littered with wide receivers who just...didn't. Kevin White. Devante Parker. Breshad Perriman. Corey Coleman. Josh Doctson. Laquon Treadwell. Without even looking past the first round, we've got a good list of disappointing football players. The 2018 wide […]
