Lamar Miller Has Strong Start To Preseason

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller carried the ball four times for 29 yards in Thursday's preseason win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Miller, who has finished outside the top 15 at the running back position in both of his seasons with the Texans, looked strong while running the ball and clearly outshone backup Alfred […]

Deshaun Watson Returns To The Field

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson didn't do much in Thursday's preseason win over the Chiefs, completing his sole pass attempt for four yards to wide receiver Bruce Ellington, but the most important thing was that the second-year passer was playing in a live game after an ACL tear prematurely ended his promising rookie season. Watson […]

Jake Butt - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt. While the first few rounds of every draft are essentially a wash-rinse-repeat of the consensus top-36, we can always count on those middle and late rounds to cement our confidence in this year's sleepers. The definition of […]

Jordan Akins Catches Two Touchdowns In Preseason Debut

Houston Texans rookie tight end Jordan Akins had a pair of receptions in Thursday's preseason win over the Kansas City Chiefs, gaining 20 yards and finding the end zone on both catches. Akins, who had four touchdown receptions last year at UCF, could earn the starting tight end job if he keeps up this level […]

Donte Moncrief Catches Three Passes Against Saints

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief hauled in three of his four targets for 21 yards in Thursday's preseason game against the New Orleans Saints. Moncrief was initially listed as the team's fifth receiver on the depth chart coming into the game, but he saw the field on the team's first series and seemed to […]

Leonard Fournette Plays Well In Preseason Opener

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette carried the ball five times on Jacksonville's opening drive Thursday, gaining 24 yards before heading to the bench for the rest of the night. Fournette dealt with an ankle injury in the playoffs last season, but he didn't appear to be hobbled by that at all in Thursday's game. […]

Dede Westbrook Leads Team In Targets In Preseason Opener

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook was targeted a team-high five times in Thursday's preseason loss to the New Orleans Saints. Westbrook ended the night with three catches for 32 yards. With Keelan Cole missing the game with a foot injury, it's hard to know exactly what to read into the breakdown of playing time […]

Blake Bortles Looks Sharp In Preseason Opener

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles played just one series in Thursday night's preseason opening loss to the New Orleans Saints, but he made that series count, going 6-for-9 from the field for 53 yards and adding in a rushing touchdown as well. Bortles spread the ball around the field and was accurate on his incompletions […]

Keelan Cole Misses Preseason Opener With Minor Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole was a late scratch from the lineup for Thursday's preseason opener against the New Orleans Saints with a minor injury. The team did not disclose what the injury was, but did note that Cole would have suited up had it been a regular season game. Cole is currently listed […]

Stop that Hype Train! Marlon Mack

Often, fantasy football sleepers stop being sleepers because so many people have collectively decided that they are sleepers and they start to jump up draft boards. When the players end up being drafted above their worth, you end up with a spot on your roster that isn't giving you maximum value. Don't do that. Don't […]

Deshaun Watson Likely To Play In Preseason Opener

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien says that quarterback Deshaun Watson, who missed the second half of the 2017 season after tearing his ACL, will likely play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, though he isn't certain that the second-year passer will suit up. If Watson does play, it will be interesting […]

Keke Coutee - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Houston Texans have spent much of their short existence with issues at the slot receiver spot. From the recent disappointment of former Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller, who hasn't adapted to the position nearly as well as he looked like he would after playing his final year as a Buckeye as a receiver, to […]

Stephen Anderson Listed As Fifth Tight End

Houston Texans tight end Stephen Anderson was a popular waiver add at one point during the 2017 season thanks to his solid ability as a receiver, but in Houston's first unofficial depth chart Anderson sits fifth at the position behind starter Ryan Griffin, rookies Jordan Akins and Jordan Thomas, and MyCole Pruitt. Anderson was expected […]

Why You Should Wait on Tight End This Year

The tight end position is always one of the most frustrating ones to fill. There's a major gap between the top talent at the position and everyone else in a way that there isn't for running backs, wide receivers, and quarterbacks, so it can be tempting to grab someone in the Rob Gronkowski/ Travis Kelce/ […]

Keelan Cole And Marqise Lee Listed As Starters

In preparation for Thursday's preseason opener against the Saints, the Jacksonville Jaguars have released their initial depth chart, which lists Keelan Cole and Marqise Lee as the starting wide receivers. Dede Westbrook and D.J. Chark are listed as the primary backups, with Donte Moncrief surprisingly holding down the fifth spot. It's still too early to […]

Tyler Ervin Looks Healthy In Training Camp

Houston Texans running back Tyler Ervin lost much of his 2017 season to a patellar tendon tear, but Ervin is back at training camp and has impressed the coaching staff. Ervin's main role on the Texans is as a return man, but the back did add eight catches for 38 yards last season in four […]

Cody Kessler Continues Strong Training Camp

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Cody Kessler has now taken part in nine 11-on-11 practice sessions so far at training camp and has yet to throw an interception. Kessler, who Jacksonville acquired from Cleveland for a conditional seventh round pick back in March, will take over the backup role that Chad Henne had occupied for the last several […]

D'Onta Foreman Is "Heading In The Right Direction"

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien says that running back D'Onta Foreman is "heading in the right direction" as he works to return from a torn Achilles that cost him most of his rookie season, but remains unsure about when Foreman will be back with the team. In 2017, Foreman was a popular sleeper pick […]

D.J. Chark Impresses Teammates In Training Camp

The Jacksonville Jaguars already had a decent group of wide receivers when they drafted LSU receiver D.J. Chark in the second round in this year's draft, leading many to suspect that he wouldn't make a big impact for the Jaguars. That may still be true, but Chark's training camp performances have drawn praise from quarterback […]

Marqise Lee Is Back At Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee has returned to practice after missing the team's last two practices with a shoulder injury. Lee, who caught 56 passes for 702 yards and three touchdowns last season for the Jaguars, is part of a crowded wide receiving corp in Jacksonville, but he's appeared near the top of some […]

Texans Excited About Sammie Coates

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien has been impressed by wide receiver Sammie Coates so far in training camp and could see him playing a role for the team on special teams. If he makes the team, Coates will likely be just the fourth or fifth receiver in Houston's wide receiver rotation, but the former […]

Is Patrick Mahomes Really Going to Air It Out?

The Kansas City Chiefs will turn to a new quarterback in 2018, with former Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes taking the reins in Arrowhead Stadium. Known during college for his strong arm and gunslinger mentality, he takes over a Chiefs offense that has one of the league's faster wide receivers, Tyreek Hill, and a newly-acquired […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers after Summer League

The 2018 Summer League has come and gone. With every game being available to stream this year, exposure to Summer League was at all-time high. You couldn't get on Twitter without seeing a ton of highlights and analysis. That's great -- more people talking about basketball is a great thing, even if that basketball isn't […]

Fantasy Basketball Dynasty Rookie Rankings

With Summer League winding down, it's time to start thinking about how we rank this year's rookie class for the purposes of our fantasy basketball dynasty leagues. We've gotten to see most of these players on a basketball court and even though they haven't necessarily all played great because #ITISSUMMERLEAGUE, we do have enough information […]

Rookie Roulette - Which QB Should Go First in Dynasty Drafts?

The talk about who is the first rookie taken in dynasty drafts this year begins and ends with Giants running back Saquon Barkley. Any discussion that answers with a different name is doing so just to be a contrarian. The real question this year comes with the quarterback position, where a host of early draft […]

Albert Wilson (WR, MIA) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson. While the first few rounds of every draft are essentially a wash-rinse-repeat of the consensus top-36, we can always count on those middle and late rounds to cement our confidence in this year's sleepers. The definition of […]

Furkan Korkmaz Scores 40 Points In Summer League

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Furkan Korkmaz played in just 14 games as a rookie while dealing with a Lisfranc injury and he didn't show a whole lot while he was on the floor, averaging just 1.6 points in 5.7 minutes per game, but after one game of the 2018 Las Vegas Summer League, Korkmaz's name […]

Robert Williams Suffers Left Knee Contusion

Boston Celtics rookie power forward Robert Williams left Friday's Summer League game against the Philadelphia 76ers with a left knee contusion after playing just six minutes. Williams scored four points and grabbed a pair of rebounds in that stretch and looked active on the court, but the injury ended his night early. It's unclear if […]

Malik Monk Scores 23 Points In Summer League

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Malik Monk scored 23 points on Friday in an 88-87 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Summer League. Monk went 9-for-16 from the field and was 4-for-9 from deep. He also added a pair of assists and a pair of steals. After a disappointing rookie season in which Monk […]

Miles Bridges Shoots Poorly In Summer League Debut

Charlotte Hornets rookie small forward Miles Bridges couldn't find his shooting touch in Friday's Summer League win over the Thunder. In 27 minutes, Bridges scored six points on 2-for-14 shooting. Bridges did add in 10 rebounds, including five on the offensive end, and he blocked a pair of shots. That Bridges was able to contribute […]
