Tennessee Titans starters will play in the preseason game versus the Seattle Seahawks Sunday, Aug. 23, according to head coach Robert Saleh.

| Footballguys view: Good news for the Broncos here. Until we get more reports about this injury, it seems like Moss could be out there against the Chiefs in Week 1. In a contract year in 2026, Moss is set to get a big payday if he plays like he did in the last half of the 2025 season. |

San Francisco 49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling caught four of his five targets for 46 yards during the preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Stribling is getting into some rare territory catching so many passes in such a short time on the field. Dez Bryant, Demaryius Thomas (RIP), and Jeremy Maclin are the other players to catch 10 or more passes in 20 minutes of game time in two preseason games to date. Stribling won't have this large of a role to begin the season, but he is showing the ability to change fantasy leagues this year if injuries put him in a central role. His ADP is going up into the single digit rounds, and it should be. |
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza completed eight of his 15 passes for 86 yards and an interception that was returned for a touchdown during the preseason game against the Houston Texans Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Mendoza's pick six was regrettable, but Klint Kubiak is still changing his tune about who the Week 1 quarterback will be, leaving it much more open than he did earlier in the summer. If you are going to draft a Raiders quarterback, it should be Mendoza, and we should project the offense with Mendoza playing most or all of the games. So far, it looks like that is no reason to be lower on the offense than we would be if it looked like Kirk Cousins was going to start a significant number of games. |
Houston Texans RB Woody Marks rushed four times for 37 yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for six yards in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 20.
| Footballguys view: Marks was excellent and looked like a back deserving of more work than a typical #2 back and the Texans run game pushed the Raiders around. That's good for Marks, Montgomery, and De'Von Achane and Malik Willis, who face the Raiders along with their Dolphin teammates in Week 1. Montgomery was rested as an entrenched starter would be, so don't worry about this performance lowering his value. |
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson said he is building better chemistry with QB Kyler Murray now that Murray has been named the starter and is no longer splitting reps. 'So now he has it and the connection is definitely growing,' Jefferson said. 'Work needs to be done, but it comes with time and comes with just coming out here and just working together.'
| Footballguys view: 'Work needs to be done' is balancing 'the connection is definitely growing' in this statement. Of course, if you have Jefferson, you're playing him Week 1 vs. Green Bay, but it sounds like we should temper expectations early on, if we hadn't already given Murray's history re: creating fantasy value for wide receivers. |
