49ers | Four grabs for De'Zhaun Stribling Fri Aug 21, 04:45 PM

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.

Raiders | Fernando Mendoza struggles Thursday Fri Aug 21, 04:45 PM

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.

Texans | Woody Marks scores Thursday Fri Aug 21, 04:45 PM

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.

Vikings | Justin Jefferson gaining comfort level Fri Aug 21, 04:45 PM

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.

Texans | Houston considering Kayshon Boutte? Fri Aug 21, 04:16 PM

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte is believed to be a possible trade target for the Houston Texans, according to sources.

Footballguys view: While this would be good for Boutte's playing time compared to New England, where he appears to be at the bottom of the depth chart even though he has been stacking good practices all summer, it still wouldn't be a plum fantasy spot in the run first Texans offense. Rashod Bateman was also mentioned as a possible trade target. The problem with both ideas is that Baltimore and New England see Houston as a rival for a Super Bowl berth, so they may not be keen on helping them adjust after losing a expected key contributor.

NFL | Tyreek Hill not close to signing Fri Aug 21, 01:17 PM

Free agent WR Tyreek Hill (Dolphins) is not expected to sign with a team before the start of the regular season, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.

Footballguys view: Hill may not be ready to play until midseason or later. We'll be monitoring his progress and listening for any interest from the Chiefs or any other team that would give Hill the opportunity to become relevant for fantasy football.

Giants | Najee Harris will contribute Fri Aug 21, 10:42 AM

New York Giants RB Najee Harris was brought in under the premise that he's going to be a significant contributor, even though a source told ESPN he signed a one-year minimum salary $1.215 million deal with no guaranteed money. The Giants' signing of Harris wasn't in direct response to RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s preseason gaffe. The team had been in contact with Harris' representative for months, and the workout was scheduled last week, sources told ESPN.

Footballguys view: Tyrone Tracy was listed as the first team back along with Cam Skattebo on the first depth chart, so the Giants weren't sold on Skattebo being a true lead back yet early in the preseason. It's not a stretch to see Harris as the #2 back behind Skattebo, and taking more work from him than Tracy would have. Harris is on the borderline of draftable in typical leagues, and Skattebo is a shakier fourth round pick.

49ers | Eight carries for Kaelon Black Fri Aug 21, 01:32 AM

San Francisco 49ers RB Kaelon Black ran the ball eight times for 33 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, Aug. 20.

Footballguys view: Black also had some excellent pass blocking reps in a great sign for his chances to be the #2 back behind Christian McCaffrey to open the season. His main competition, Jordan James, is still out with a rib injury. McCaffrey has been missing practice with "soreness" that some have speculated is contract driven. We don't see a reason to move McCaffrey down yet (but we felt that way two years ago) but we do see a reason to move Black onto our list of late round targets.

49ers | Sincere McCormick has productive night Fri Aug 21, 01:23 AM

San Francisco 49ers RB Sincere McCormick had six carries for a game-high 53 yards and a touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, Aug. 20.

Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. impresses again Fri Aug 21, 12:36 AM

Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. carried the ball nine times for a game-high 56 yards against the Houston Texans on Thursday, Aug. 20. Washington also caught a pair of passes for 18 yards.

Footballguys view: Washington is moving up fantasy draft boards with each passing week and big run in the preseason. Ashton Jeanty is still worth a pick at ADP near the 1-2 turn of drafts on the hopes that the Raiders running game becomes functional under Klint Kubiak, but Washington has exceeded expectations already, showing patience, vision, and footwork to get his rare size/speed combination into play at the second and third levels. He is one of the most valuable backups to take in redraft leagues and his dynasty value is definitely into the first round of remaining rookie drafts.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey failed to catch his only target during the preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers Thursday, Aug. 20.
