Cooper Kupp shreds Raiders on Saturday night.

Kupp caught six passes for 70 yards and one touchdown, as Jared Goff kept going back to the open rookie. The third-round pick has the makings of an immediate fantasy contributor, and Sammy Watkins being on the field like he was last night could end up helping everyone. Kupp is currently going undrafted, but using a 14th-round pick on him might be a good move.

Todd Gurley rushed eight times for 38 yards and a touchdown on Saturday night.

He also caught a 12-yard pass. Gurley looked good in this one, as the Rams got off to a hot start with two touchdowns in the first quarter. If Jared Goff can make defenses pay for stacking the box, Gurley will see a lot more running room. He’s worth a pick in the second- or third-round of fantasy drafts.

Sean Mannion was 15/22 for 132 yards and one touchdown in the Rams preseason win over the Raiders.

The touchdown was actually a game-winner in the fourth quarter to give Los Angeles a three-point victory. Mannion will be the #2 for Sean McVay and the Rams in 2017.

Jared Goff dissects the Raiders in team’s second preseason game.

Goff was 16/20 for 160 yards and one touchdown, which was the play of the game. With reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack in his face, Goff showed off his arm talent and accuracy with a pretty pass to Cooper Kupp for a 23-yard score. Last year’s first overall pick also made a perfect pass to new receiver Sammy Watkins on a would-be touchdown in their first game action together, but Watkins couldn’t bring it in. We have a feeling that a lot of people will look really dumb for writing off Goff after one season. The Rams play their LA counterparts in the regular season dress rehearsal next Saturday.

Jaelen Strong scores TD with starters in Week 2 of the preseason.

Strong caught two passes for 11 yards, including a nine-yard touchdown where he ran a nice route in the end zone to get separation from Patriots star corner Malcolm Butler. With Will Fuller (collarbone) out for a couple months, Strong might be the starter alongside DeAndre Hopkins and Braxton Miller to open the year.

Bruce Ellington plays great in preseason debut with the Texans.

The recently-signed receiver led the team in receiving in the exhibition against the Patriots, catching four-of-five targets for 93 yards. With DeAndre Hopkins and Braxton Miller out, Ellington started the game and his best play was a 37-yard reception where he went up and over Patriots corner Malcolm Butler and high-pointed the ball. Though he just arrived with the team, Ellington looks like a good bet to make the Texans.

Tyler Ervin gets four touches in preseason game against New England.

The second-year back had three carries for 11 yards and one reception for six yards. Ervin also had a 19-yard punt return, and his return ability is what might ultimately keep him on the final roster for the Texans.
