  Browns | Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson to split reps    Sun Aug 16, 04:32 PM

Cleveland Browns QBs Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson will split first-team reps this week in a rotation. Head coach Todd Monken said Sunday, Aug. 16 that Sanders will work with the first team Monday and Wednesday, with Watson doing so Tuesday and Thursday. That will also allow both players to get first-team reps in joint practices with the Buffalo Bills ahead of the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 22.

  Rams | Ty Simpson dazzles in debut    Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM

Los Angeles Rams QB Ty Simpson completed 21 of his 25 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns in the preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs Saturday, Aug. 15.

Footballguys view: There was nothing too challenging for Simpson in this game, but it was still great to see him throwing the ball accurately and on time in the context of this offense. If Simpson keeps this up, he could beat out Stetson Bennett to back up Matthew Stafford.

  Browns | Deshaun Watson solid in start    Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson completed 11 of his 15 passes for 126 yards and rushed three times for four yards in the preseason game against the Chicago Bears Saturday, Aug. 15.

Footballguys view: Watson's numbers look good, but he was the same shadow of the quarterback he used to be in reality. It's very difficult to predict who will win this competition, but not difficult to see that Watson is a backup quality quarterback at best at this point in his career.

  Ravens | Ja'Kobi Lane finds the end zone    Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM

Baltimore Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane finished with three receptions on three targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday, Aug. 15.

Footballguys view: The hype train for Lane is not slowing down. He is firmly in the top three Ravens wide receivers, and could overtake Rashod Bateman in the target pecking order soon at this rate. Lane should be on your late round target list, with extra value in .5 and nonPPR leagues as a deep threat and playmaker.

  Bills | Josh Allen shines Saturday    Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen completed six of his eight passes for 111 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers Saturday, Aug. 15.

Footballguys view: If those numbers seem a bit aggressive for a preseason opener, you're not wrong. Allen came out and hooked up with new #1 receiver DJ Moore three times right away for 61 yards. Moore did get a little banged up, but Allen said that finding Moore early and often will be the plan every week (!), so don't let the injuries Moore and Keon Coleman (who caught Allen's touchdown on an extended play) dampen enthusiasm about this offense as a whole after it appears that it will be opened up under new head coach Joe Brady.

  Panthers | Jonathon Brooks logs four touches    Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks rushed three times for five yards and caught a nine-yard pass during the preseason game against the Buffalo Bills Saturday, Aug. 15.

Footballguys view: The most important outcome here is that Brooks didn't get hurt in his first live game action. Chuba Hubbard is already week-to-week with a hamstring injury, so Brooks could start Week 1 against the mediocre Bears runs defense. Brooks didn't pop any big gains or look like an impressive talent, but the line did him no favors. Nothing from this game should push him down from the new higher ADP he has after Hubbard got hurt in practice this week, but nothing from this game should push him higher either.

  Giants | Cam Skattebo back on the field    Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM

New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo rushed four times for 19 yards during the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, Aug. 15.

Footballguys view: Skattebo showed no ill effects from the dislocated ankle that he had surgically repaired last year. His "co-starter" Tyrone Tracy whiffed on a block and got his quarterback blown up, so we should probably start projecting Skattebo as the starter and worthy of his mid-fourth round ADP, if not higher.

  Giants | Jaxson Dart tosses TD    Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM

New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart completed three of his four passes for 26 yards and a touchdown during the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, Aug. 15.

Footballguys view: Dart's touchdown came on a very impressive throw once he was flushed from the pocket. It was caught by third round pick Malachi Fields, who is having a great summer and could win a starting job. Dart also went to the medical tent to be checked for a concussion (after Tyrone Tracy Jr. whiffed on a pass block), and expressed confusion after the game as to why he ends up in the medical tent so often. Jameis Winston is the backup here, and we have to imagine that we will se him get some starts this season. That's actually not bad for the fantasy prospects of the offense. Winston shouldn't be on the waiver wire in dynasty superflex leagues.

  Browns | KC Concepcion runs for TD    Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM

Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion caught three of his four targets for 27 yards and added a 14-yard rushing touchdown during the preseason game against the Chicago Bears Saturday, Aug. 15.

Footballguys view: Concepcion looked like he is going to play a significant role in this offense, given his talent for adding yards after the catch on safe, high percentage short throws. This was the domain of Harold Fannin Jr. last year, so the rise of Concepcion might not bode well for Fannin's ceiling even though he should be even better in his second season. Concepcion remains worth a pick in the second half of your draft as a speculative bench stash, especially in PPR leagues, but if he and fellow rookie Denzel Boston are hits, Fannin probably won't live up to expectations.

  Seahawks | Two key offensive players did not suit up     Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (coach's decision) and RB Jadarian Price (upper leg) did not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, Aug. 15.

Footballguys view: Price's leg issue isn't serious, but the team said he would be only be out a matter of days more than a week ago. George Holani started and got extensive work in the first half, and he should be on your late round target watch list until we see Price return to practice.

  Bills | Two Buffalo receivers banged up on Saturday    Sun Aug 16, 04:26 PM

Buffalo Bills WRs DJ Moore (ankle) and Keon Coleman (lower body) were both tended to on the sideline, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 15. Trainers attended to Moore's ankle area after the second drive, but he stood on sidelines for the rest of the game. Coleman was tackled on third offensive drive after his last catch favored the lower body.

Footballguys view: The injury mechanism for Moore looked like it could have been a high ankle sprain, but head coach Joe Brady said that Moore was "good to go" after the game. We'll wait to see his practice participation this week before closing the book on this injury scare. Coleman's injury is more mysterious, and maybe a bigger concern. Brady said he was okay after the game, but Coleman was wearing a walking boot while walking his dog in an instagram post made after the game. Coleman scored the first touchdown in the Bills new stadium and appeared to be gaining some momentum before the injury.

'I'll let the coaches decide (the backup job winner),' McKee said. 'My job is to go out and play when I'm put on the field, so how that's going, I'm going to put in the work, I'm going to do the extra stuff. I'm going to do everything to have my case of why I believe I should be the backup.'
