Latavius Murray makes preseason debut for the Vikings.

After missing all of the offseason and much of training camp recovering from ankle surgery, Murray played in Week 3 of the preseason against the Niners. He had two carries for six yards and two receptions for ten yards in the game, mixing in with the first team. While Cook is the clear starter in Minnesota, Murray will have a role and is worth a selection late in fantasy drafts.

J.J. Nelson catches one pass in Cardinals’ preseason game.

Nelson caught one-of-two targets for 13 yards in the exhibition against the Falcons. The speedster will make some big plays for Arizona this season, but it’ll be difficult to trust him in your fantasy lineup.

Xavier Grimble scores in preseason game against the Colts.

Grimble had three receptions for 26 yards and a touchdown in the exhibition, but he’s way off the fantasy radar for now.

Andre Ellington gets five touches in Cardinals’ preseason game.

Ellington couldn’t get much going, carrying four times for three yards and catching one pass for seven yards. He’s in a battle for a roster spot for Arizona, but he has his versatility and previous contributions to the team going for him. Ellington will likely play in the Cardinals’ final preseason game on Thursday.

Dalvin Cook carries five times for 17 yards in the Vikings’ third preseason game.

The Vikings offense struggled mightily against the 49ers, unable to get much going on the ground or through the air. Latavius Murray made his preseason debut and got some work with the first team and will eat into some of Cook’s workload, but Cook is the number one back right now. Cook is almost certainly done for the preseason, and the focus now shifts to their opening game on Monday Night Football against the Saints. The talented rookie should probably be a top-50 pick in all fantasy leagues.

Brittan Golden catches all three targets in Cardinals’ Week 3 preseason game.

Golden had 25 yards on his three receptions against the Falcons. It looks like he’ll be making the team’s final roster, but he’ll struggle to make much of a fantasy impact in 2017.

Jeremy Maclin gets a carry in Ravens’ third preseason game.

Maclin did not draw a target in the exhibition agains the Bills. The veteran receiver’s preseason is almost certainly done, as he probably won’t be playing in the team’s fourth preseason game. He didn’t do much of anything through the air this preseason, but he’s without starting quarterback Joe Flacco. Hopefully Flacco is fully recovered by his back injury and good to go in Week 1. You’re drafting Maclin in the hope of he and Flacco forming a nice connection without much practice time together.
