Join now >Jeff Driskel does it all in Bengals debut.
Driskel completed 8/9 passes for 97 yards and one touchdown, and also rushed five times for 34 yards and another score. The former Florida Gators quarterback was drafted by the 49ers in 2016, but spend his rookie year with Cincinnati, and it appears he made some nice improvements over the past year. Driskel will look to keep it going next week against Kansas City.

T.J. Yates was 9/15 for 83 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in Thursday night’s exhibition.
The touchdown was a perfectly thrown pass to Brandon Reilly in the corner of the end zone, and the rookie receiver made a spectacular toe-drag catch. Yates was the third quarterback in the rotation for the Bills, but he should make the team if they keep three passers.

Cooper Rush puts on strong performance in Saturday night’s preseason game.
Rush was 9/11 for 104 yards and one touchdown, which was a connection with tight end Rico Gathers. The undrafted rookie could push backup Kellen Moore for #2 duties if he plays well again next week against the Colts. He was 9/18 for 87 yards and a touchdown in the Hall of Fame game.

Tyrod Taylor struggles in preseason game against the Eagles.
He sure could have used Sammy Watkins, as Taylor was 8/18 for 53 yards and two interceptions, also adding a 12-yard rush. Jim Schwartz’s Philly defense brought a lot of pressure with uncharacteristic blitzes by the coordinator, especially for a preseason game, and the Bills struggled to keep the pocket clean. Tyrod’s first interception came on a batted pass by safety Rodney McLeod, and the second came under pressure where he threw it up to Anquan Boldin. Buffalo will try to clean things up next week against the Ravens in the regular season dress rehearsal, but Baltimore has the makings of an elite defensive unit.

Tyler Boyd catches one pass for eight yards in preseason opener.
Boyd is working with A.J. Green and Brandon Lafell as the one of the Bengals’ top three receivers, but we’ll have to see what happens when John Ross plays in the preseason. The amount of playing time for Boyd will determine how much of a fantasy impact he can make in his second season.

Nathan Peterman was 10/20 for 167 yards in Thursday night’s preseason game.
Peterman also rushed twice for 17 yards. The Bills’ fifth-round pick came in behind Tyrod Taylor, and he seems to have a clear edge on T.J. Yates for backup duties. Peterman made some pinpoint throws, but he’s completing just over 50% of his throws through two games. Taylor is locked in as the starter, but Peterman might make starts in 2017 if Buffalo falls out of contention.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins catches one pass for seven yards in preseason opener.
The starting tight end for the Jets is looking to rejuvenate his career after dropping 25 pounds and getting his life in order. He should get a sizable amount of playing time in the last few preseason games, as he’s suspended for the first two games of the regular season.
