The first week of the preseason is in the books, and we found out a lot. While several fantasy-relevant players had the week off, and others only played a drive or two before an early exit, there were several players we’ve been drafting who might need to be drafted a little lower, some who should no longer be drafted at all, and others who were not being drafted that we need to start considering.
At running back, there is some cause for concern for players like Cam Skattebo and Tony Pollard, who rotated much more than expected. For others like Quinshon Judkins and Jonathon Brooks, there appears to be a path to a feature role in their offense.
At wide receiver, rookies dominated the storylines, with players like Caleb Douglas, Denzel Boston and Carnell Tate locking down roles regardless of personnel grouping, while others like De’Zhaun Stribling and Germie Bernard made their cases for starting jobs. Other rookies like Omar Cooper Jr., Antonio Williams and Elijah Sarratt are buried further down depth charts than expected.
To get more details about each of these players’ situations and much more, check out my fantasy recaps for this week's games on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. You’ll find the same recaps next week, immediately after games, and they will continue throughout the entire NFL season.
