Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert completed two of his three pass attempts for 74 yards and a touchdown during the preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams Thursday, Aug. 27. He also lost a fumble.
| Footballguys view: Herbert's 65-yard touchdown pass to Quentin Johnston was the longest in air yards in any Mike McDaniel offense. That should get us excited to see what this offense can achieve if the offensive line holds up. Herbert and the rest of the Chargers passing game has a high ceiling, and Omarion Hampton could deliver second round value if the passing game loosens up defenses. |

Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza completed seven of his 14 pass attempts for 57 yards and an interception during the preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: Mendoza probably won't start Week 1 vs. Miami, but not because of his preseason interceptions. The team wants to wait until the team is settled and can give him a better environment to develop before starting the #1 pick. He is still worth drafting and stashing in 2QB/Superflex leagues, as he'll be starting sooner than later unless Kirk Cousins finds the Fountain of Youth. |
Buffalo Bills WR Skyler Bell caught seven of his 10 targets for 49 yards and added a 28-yard rushing touchdown during the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: The fourth round pick Bell was hurt for most of camp, but he showed out in this game to give the Bills an idea of what he could contribute. Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir are banged up right now, so Bell should be on our waiver wire watch list because he plays with Josh Allen. |
Cleveland Browns QB Dillon Gabriel completed 12 of his 15 passes for 186 yards and three touchdowns during the preseason game against the New England Patriots Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: Will Gabriel start a game for the Browns this year? Will he start more games than any other Browns quarterback? Will he even make the team? He should after this performance. Keep him on your superflex dynasty radar. |
San Francisco 49ers RB Kaelon Black rushed four times for 28 yards during the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: Black has done everything he could when he was healthy this summer to prove that he is a capable backup to Christian McCaffrey. He's the back to target late if you want to hedge McCaffrey's recent injury history. |
Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. rushed eight times for 49 yards during the preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: The possibility of Washington forcing a running back by committee in Las Vegas is upon us even though Ashton Jeanty could play in Week 1. Washington is a good bench stash to see what happens as he has earned his playing time with outstanding play in the preseason that showed off patience, vision, and footwork to go with his size and speed. |
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker III has impressed head coach Andy Reid with his route-running ability and his ability to separate from linebackers in man-to-man coverage.
| Footballguys view: Walker did have an injury scare when he had swelling related to his cleat, but he is still a high ceiling second round pick with the possibility of being the rare power back who is also featured in the passing game. He just needs to stay healthy, which was a problem most years when he was in Seattle. |
Jacksonville Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen (undisclosed) is sidelined because of a soft tissue injury, but there is no indication that he will need to start the regular season on the Reserve/Injured list.
| Footballguys view: Whatever added upside there will be for Bhayshul Tuten or Chris Rodriguez (it's not clear if either or both would help replace Allen early in the season) will be short-lived. |
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is expected to be ready for Week 1 despite suffering an ankle injury earlier this week, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Rhamondre Stevenson should be going well ahead of Henderson, who hasn't moved up from the place he ended the season at on the depth chart. This injury scare isn't a big reason why, but it is a reminder. |
Baltimore Ravens DT Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) still has not participated in team drills during training camp and could be a candidate to start the season on the Reserve/Injured list.
| Footballguys view: There was excitement about Madubuike potentially playing this year, but his return is not at hand yet. It has still been a great first camp for Jesse Minter's defense and we should consider them a top 10-12 unit. When Madubuike comes back, they could be even better. |

Link to storyLas Vegas Raiders WR Malik Benson has been a reliable option for both QB Kirk Cousins and QB Fernando Mendoza during training camp and appears to have a good chance to receive playing time during his rookie season, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Ryan McFadden.
Link to storyLas Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. is expected to be used quite a bit on offense this season after showing he can handle an extended workload during the preseason, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Ryan McFadden.
