Darren Fells Likely To Start For Texans

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells is going to be the likely starter at the position, says The Athletic's Aaron Reiss. With Jordan Thomas struggling to get up to speed, Houston is likely turning to their best pass-blocking tight end, Fells, to man the position. With huge offensive line issues, Fells will help the run […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

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. So why did Fantasy Football Twitter collectively decide that Cousins was a complete bust last season? Well, Cousins had gotten a lot of hype behind him when he went to Minnesota. […]

Jordan Thomas Targeted Six Times

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Thomas was targeted six times in Houston's preseason loss to the Dallas Cowboys, grabbing two of those targets for a team-high 33 yards. It was a rough night for the Texans, who failed to reach 100 passing yards, but Thomas was the tiniest sliver of a bright spot. He still […]

Damarea 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. Crockett looked like a better back than Karan Higdon, but Higdon had nine more touches. Crockett could be a fantasy sleeper with Lamar Miller […]

Karan Higdon Leads Team In Carries Against Cowboys

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. Higdon was the first back up after starter Lamar Miller went down with an ACL, which seems to suggest he's next in line in this Houston offense to see early down […]

Joe Webb Struggles Against 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. He added 25 yards on four carries as well. Webb's going to be Houston's third quarterback once A.J. McCarron is back, so he doesn't have […]

Deshaun 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 […]

Texans Believe Lamar Miller Tore ACL

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (knee) is feared to have suffered a torn ACL in Saturday's preseason loss to the Dallas Cowboys. If confirmed, Miller's season is over before it began, and his Texans career is likely coming to a close as well. Duke Johnson will get more chances to run the ball, but the […]

Andrew Luck Tells Colts He's Retiring From The NFL

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has informed the team that he intends to retire from the NFL, citing that the mental aspects of the game have worn him down.

Lamar Miller Carted Off Field

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (knee) was carted off the field after a first-quarter hit in Saturday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. Miller hadn't played in a preseason game before this one. A Pro Bowler last year, Miller is expected to see the bulk of Houston's offensive touches this year with Duke Johnson coming […]

Kahale Warring Still In Concussion Protocol

Houston Texans rookie tight end Kahale Warring remains in concussion protocol and has now missed two weeks of practice. Warring, a third round pick this year, looked like someone who could contribute some early during the first parts of offseason practices, but at this point, it would be a surprise to see him on the […]

Questions At Left Tackle Could Hurt Lamar Miller's Value

Offensive-line play is crucial to success in fantasy football, and the Houston Texans reportedly have an issue on their hands as they try to fill the most important offensive-line position, left tackle. The team signed Matt Kalil this offseason, but the veteran hasn't been at practice since Aug. 14, which has opened a spot for […]

Ezekiel Elliott Returns To Cabo

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has returned to Cabo to train. The Cowboys reportedly offered Elliott a deal to make him the second-highest paid running back in football, but his return to Mexico seems to suggest that Elliott wasn't happy with the deal. While he's still training and seems to be in game shape, […]

Cam Newton Has Mid-Foot Sprain

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has a mid-foot sprain that was suffered in Thursday's preseason meeting with the New England Patriots. The team says they are "cautiously optimistic" about Newton's Week 1 availability, and while we can likely expect to see Newton on the field when the Panthers take on the Rams, there's a chance […]

Duke Johnson Expected To Play Against Cowboys

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson is expected to make his Texans debut in Saturday's preseason meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. A hamstring issue had kept Johnson sidelined since being acquired by the Texans in a trade with Cleveland, but we'll finally get to see a hint of how the Texans will use him. Johnson's […]

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Ryquell Armstead played in his first preseason game on Thursday as the Jaguars lost to the Miami Dolphins, and it didn't go so well.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook was targeted seven times in Thursday's preseason loss to the Miami Dolphins. He turned those targets into four catches, 29 yards, and a touchdown.

D.J. Chark Suffers Concussion

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark suffered a concussion in Thursday's preseason meeting with the Miami Dolphins. Chark is expected to be one of Jacksonville's three starting wide receivers, but with the regular season kicking off in just over two weeks, there are now going to be worries about Chark's availability. If he passes concussion […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette saw his first snaps of the preseason in Thursday's loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles sat out the team's first two preseason games, but he played about a quarter and a half in Thursday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. Foles was 6-for-10 for 48 yards and threw a touchdown pass to Dede Westbrook. He was also picked off. Foles is the unquestioned starter for Jacksonville, […]

Kirk Cousins - Still Underrated?

In 2018, Kirk Cousins finished as the fantasy QB13, which is just at the edge of the QB1 tier. So why did Fantasy Football Twitter collectively decide that Cousins was a complete bust last season?

Marqise Lee Won't Play Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee won't play Thursday against the Dolphins. The third preseason game is traditionally the one where a team gives their starters the most snaps and the Jaguars are expected to do just that after resting nearly every key player for the first two preseason contests. But Lee, who was just […]

Jordan Akins Has Impressive Training Camp

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins was picked by Aaron Reiss of The Athletic as the most improved player at Texans' training camp this year.
