This is for deeper & keeper leagues for preseason & training camp super stars that could be options this year or in the future.


Rico Gathers TE Dallas(6'6" 273 4.79). Guy has been a monster thru 2 preseason games, showing ability to catch the ball in traffic and in the redzone. Has seem reps with the 1st team in 2 TE sets.


Chris Carson RB Seattle(6'0" 218 4.58). Carson, the Seahwawks 7th RD pick 2017, has been gaining traction as a hard runner in camp that is hard to bring down. He is pushing to make the roster as the 4th RB, but with Eddie Lacy disapponting and Prosise as the pass catching back, he could a factor as early as this year with an injury or 2. He looks to have passed Alex Collins


Kasen Williams (6'1" 218 4.63)WR Seattle. We'll dip back into Seattle with Williams, who is battling for the 4th WR. Saw time last night with the 1's and Wilson. Made an outstanding catch. Also had a highlight reel catch in GM1. He's an 2015 UDFA who originally signed with the Bengals. Tyler lockett is still injured and Paul Richardson has been hurt.


Dede Westbrook WR (5'11" 178 4.39) Many people know of Westbrook, but he's coming off a 6-131game vs Tampa in week 2. Also caught a deep pass vs NE in week 1.


Keelan Cole WR (6'0" 194 4.59) A D-2 guy out of Kentucky Wesleyan(4500 59 TDs career) had a 98yrd score vs NE in week 1. He's making a name on special teams so he is likely to stick, and has been getting 1st team reps on occasion at practice and in their week 2 game vs Tampa.

others more notable

-Deshone Kizer looks primed to get snaps in 2017 with CLE
-Kenny Golladay WR DET is making a name for himself
-Dalvin Cook RB MIN establishing himself as a top 24 pick


List some if you have them. Will try and update thru end of preseason

Carson was the one I would mention. Especially given with how lacy has looked. Rawls is seemingly injury prone too.

Jake Butt TE from Denver. Especially if you have an IR slot and it's a keeper league.

I fully expect Tommylee Lewis from the saints to have 600 yds and 6+ TDs this year


Could be way off, but I feel a big year coming for him

What do you think of D'Onta Foreman? I'm not expecting him to overtake Miller, but if there's an injury I like the way he looks.

I took him in my keeper league. Can keep your entire roster if you want to.

Eta: he just had a big gain against the pats.

Marlon Mack can take some serious snaps in Indy from Gore and Turbin

Foreman will have more snaps than Miller in Hou by EoS

I really have liked Jonathan Williams and Kasen Williams.

My buddy is from the same area as Kasen and talked about how stupid his hops were. He was a 7' high jumped in high school

Cooper Kupp if Goff can get it to him. Good routes, like a white Jarvis Landry.

will add George Kittle TE for San Fran. Rookie from Iowa went 3 for 33 1 TD last night in his first action of the preseason. Had an impressive 29yd TD catch that started in the flat

6'3" 247 4.52

There are talks he will indeed open as the starter. Most athletic TE in last years draft


Marlon Mack as stated about had a nice night. 5 forced missed tackles on 7 touches

Kupp had a nice night as did 2nd year WR Michael Thomas (will start year suspended)

Marlon Mack- Gore needs to get hurt for him to be a true stud. He's a $1 pickup at the end of the auction for me on deeper rosters. He's extremely quick, great hands, and decent instincts. Preseason highlights I got him late late in a dynasty, and he's a must pickup in keeper/dynasty leagues.

Chris Conley- Last year the guy I got in all of my leagues was Tyrell Williams. Yeah, I know it's easy to make this claim here and now, but Conley is the guy this year that I'm snatching up in EVERY league. He's a $1/2 guy that has major upside. If he flops cool, but currently he's starting opposite of Hill who is an absolute burner. Between Hill and Kelce, Conley should be working alot of 1on1. Smith limits his upside, but the guy is going undrafted in most leagues. PICK HIM UP
