D’Onta Foreman shows off receiving skills in second preseason game.

The big rookie running back from Texas had seven carries for 17 yards and a touchdown, but he mostly impressed with his receiving. Foreman had two receptions for 66 yards, including a 63-yard reception where he caught a slant in traffic and broke a few tackles as he sped through the defense. Foreman’s identical twin brother, Armanti, is a receiver at the University of Texas, so it’s not surprising Foreman is flashing his own ability out there. The impressive rookie is someone you should try to get on your roster if you are in a dynasty league.

Niles Paul catches 16-yard score in Saturday night’s preseason loss to Green Bay.

Paul’s touchdown came in the third quarter from Colt McCoy, and it was his only catch of the day, though he did recover a fumble. The Redskins have a talented tight end group, so Paul won’t be a fantasy option with Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis ahead of him.

Lamar Miller carries seven times for 18 yards in preseason game against NE.

The Texans couldn’t get much of anything going on the ground versus the Patriots. Miller and the first team will likely get more time in their third preseason game against the Saints next Saturday.

Alfred Blue carries five times in Week 2 of the preseason.

Blue had 20 yards against New England in the exhibition. Currently, Blue is the number two behind Lamar Miller; but rookie D’Onta Foreman has been very impressive so far and could be challenging for that spot. Foreman probably offers higher upside as the handcuff to Miller.

Crowder catches touchdown in second preseason game.

Washington’s offensive starters played the entire first half because they struggled to move the ball against Green Bay, and Crowder finished with two catches for eight yards, including a four-yard score. It was good to see him get targeted in the end zone. Crowder’s ADP is currently in the ninth round, but he has a much higher floor than teammate Terrelle Pryor, whom you will need to spend a third- or fourth-round pick on.

Deshaun Watson rushes for another touchdown in second preseason game.

The rookie quarterback was 3/10 for 102 yards, with a 63-yard slant to D’Onta Foreman doing most of the damage through the air. On the ground, Watson carried four times for ten yards and a touchdown. The touchdown was on a play-action pass call at the goal line—Watson was pressured immediately on his roll out, but he showed his great athleticism when he stopped on a dime and accelerated up the middle for six. Starter Tom Savage moved the offense and looks to be locked in as the starter, in which case Watson would obviously not have a ton of fantasy value.

Tom Savage plays very well in Week 2 of the preseason.

Savage was 8/9 for 98 yards and a touchdown in the exhibition against New England. The touchdown came on a nice nine-yard pass to the back of the end zone to Jaelen Strong. Deshaun Watson played fine, but was only 3/10 in the game. Savage looks like he’ll certainly be starting Week 1 for the Texans.
