Chargers | Justin Herbert makes most of short night Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
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. |

Raiders | Fernando Mendoza tosses pick Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
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. |
Bills | Skyler Bell active against Pittsburgh Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
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. |
Browns | Dillon Gabriel shines in preseason finale Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
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. |
49ers | Kaelon Black rushes for 28 yards Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
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. |
Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. keeps rolling Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
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. |
Chiefs | Kenneth Walker III impressing as receiver Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
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. |
Jaguars | LeQuint Allen expected to avoid IR Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
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. |
Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson on track for opener Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
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. |
Ravens | Nnamdi Madubuike may not be ready Fri Aug 28, 05:27 PM
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 story Raiders | Malik Benson could have role Fri Aug 28, 04:17 PM
Las 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 story Raiders | Mike Washington should have solid role Fri Aug 28, 04:15 PM

Link to story Jaguars | Travis Hunter getting exclusive work at cornerback recently Fri Aug 28, 03:12 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Travis Hunter, for the last two weeks, has taken snaps 'almost exclusively at cornerback' during practice, according to Sports Illustrated's John Shipley.
| Footballguys view: Hunter is a late round pick at best right now, but he has the talent to be a very good fantasy wide receiver if injuries or a change of plans gives him the opportunity on offense. If he is listed at corner, he is still a good IDP pick this season. |
Titans | Wan'Dale Robinson cleared of concussion Fri Aug 28, 02:08 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Wan'Dale Robinson was cleared of a concussion on Friday, Aug. 28.
Link to story Raiders | Ashton Jeanty is 'still on the mend' Fri Aug 28, 01:52 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (ankle) is 'still on the mend,' according to head coach Klint Kubiak.
| Footballguys view: Jeanty could be back for Week 1, but he is not a sure thing. His ADP needs to drop well into the second round to consider him now that the injury seal is broken and backup Mike Washington Jr. looks like he's good enough to force his way into a larger share of the workload than expected. |
Broncos | Jonah Coleman could get 'plenty of work' Fri Aug 28, 01:08 PM
Denver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman could see 'plenty of work' in 2026, according to ESPN's Jeff Legwold.
| Footballguys view: Coleman should be a priority running back bench pick. He has JK Dobbins injury upside, and he has done enough to get into the running back rotation from day one. His emergence is making Dobbins and Harvey easier to skip going ahead of the rookie. |
Giants | Najee Harris expected to play in preseason finale Fri Aug 28, 01:04 PM
New York Giants RB Najee Harris is expected to play in the team's final preseason game on Friday, Aug. 28. He has not played since tearing his Achilles in Week 3 of the 2025 season.
| Footballguys view: Harris needs to prove that he is game shape, so this isn't necessarily a sign that he is on the margins of the depth chart. On the other hand, if he looks good, Harris could force a committee with Cam Skattebo right away, given his experience and durability. |
Najee Harris player page
Giants | Malachi Fields like the WR2 Fri Aug 28, 11:28 AM
New York Giants WR Malachi Fields is likely to be the team's No. 2 receiver. The team traded up to get him in the third round because they were infatuated with his size, physicality and ability to make contested catches. He has shown all of that in camp.
| Footballguys view: Fields is at least on our waiver wire watch lists, if not a deep league late round pick. He wins when the ball is in the air and could be a top red zone target for Jaxson Dart. Fields is still going to be in the shadow of Malik Nabers and maybe Isaiah Likely, so he's not a priority late round target. |
Titans | Carnell Tate impresses Fri Aug 28, 11:25 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate has impressed with his large catch radius and consistent hands-catching ability. The Titans have started to move Tate across the formation rather than always having him on the ball.
| Footballguys view: Tate is probably going to have some highlight reel plays that make a splash in the box score, but the Titans offense is going to be inconsistent to open the season considering its offensive line woes and new system, along with Cam Ward's preseason struggles. Tate is going in the 6th/7th round close to similar weekly boom/bust propositions like Brian Thomas Jr. and Marvin Harrison Jr.. |
Raiders | Fernando Mendoza impresses teammates Fri Aug 28, 10:54 AM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza has impressed teammates with improved confidence. He hasn't been afraid of targeting tight windows, has a firmer grasp of the system, which resulted in better command of the offense. 'That's hard to do as a young guy,' C Tyler Linderbaum said. 'You're dealing with a lot of new things, a whole new offense. So seeing the growth in his command and operation, it's a good starting point.'
