Deshaun Watson and the #Texans first-team offense have run 16 plays this preseason. Lamar Miller hasn't come off the field once (16-of-16 snaps). D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) remains on PUP.


Could get over 250 touches if he plays 16 this year.

In the 4th round? Nice.

Michael Gallup has been on field with Dak Prescott for all but 6 plays this preseason. 33-of-39 first-team snaps (85%). Gallup is essentially playing in Dez Bryant's old role as X-receiver already. Had a huge 3rd & 3 conversion in RZ on quick slant that setup TD.

hrough two preseason games, Trey Burton‘s usage has been very promising: • On-field for 92% of #Bears first-team pass plays • Targeted on 6-of-18 Trubisky throws (33%) • 47% of routes split out in slot; Travis Kelce’s slot rate was 50% last year under Nagy

Lamar sucks but he should score some points this year. He makes a rb 0 strategy possible

Miami Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (finger) still can't catch the ball and won't play this week. His Week 1 status is up in the air, according to head coach Adam Gase.

Brown and Bell will eat half of the targets, leaving about 250 targets for Smith Schuster, Washington, Vance McDonald and other misc players

Last season

Marty Bryant - 84 targets
JSS - 79
Jesse James/McDonald - 87 targets

Steelers ran the 2nd most 3 WR sets in the league last season



How much do you think he's worth in 0.5ppr out of a budget of $100? Stupidly forgot all about Washington and he's on the WW.

Prob for free

Few things have to go right, he’s not even on radars yet. May not even be worth rostering in non dynasty leagues, but monitor those targets

Spent a bit, but thought I would rather have him over Courtland. Should at least be a decent WR3 and vault into WR2 if anything were to happen to AB/JJ. Other people did bid on him too ugh

The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero reports Frank Gore and Kenyan Drake will "both play a lot."

In Salguero's words, "the Dolphins may start Gore and give Drake a lot of carries as the backup. Or vice versa." Either way you slice it, it sounds like both backs are going to be heavily involved in coach Adam Gase's game plan. Gore hasn't shown much in recent seasons and is now 35, but Gase seems adamant on him being a factor despite Drake 's late-2017 breakout as the bellcow back. It's a hit to Drake 's fantasy stock, while Gore is worth a grab as a late-round flier.

You think Godwin supplants Jackson by mid season?

They are freaking out over him in Tampa, everyone saying its only a matter of time.

I think Godwin is independent of DJax. Godwin can line up all over the formation and his talent will force their hand eventually. Im looking at the 83 targets Adam Humphries got each of the past two seasons and will conservatively apply half of them to the 55 Godwin saw last year. I think he is a 100 target kinda guy who can flirt with 1k and some TDs on the low end. If he's really just that good and becomes a target monster he has the ability to be a stud. He is the perfect late rd target

Chris Hogan is about to blow up this year. We didn't see Rob Gronkowski (rest), but Tom Brady and the Pats' first-team offense ran 35 plays in their second preseason game, spanning five drives. Hogan led all WRs in snaps (29), and his role stuck out like a sore thumb. Brady and Belichick moved Hogan all over the field, playing him at X-Iso in one-receiver sets, Hogan moved all over the field in 12-personnel (2WR), he went into the slot some in 3WR (11-personnel) sets, and the Pats' used motion to get Hogan open lanes for his routes and Brady's progressions. Make no mistake: Hogan is the Pats' No. 1 wideout.



Have to hammer this dude in drafts

I grabbed both Hogan (6th) and Edelman (11th) in my draft last night. Feeling good about it. My only concern is after Week 4 wondering which one to play.
