4 new scoring rules for 2025!

Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson came into Saturday's game against the Jaguars in the second quarter after Tua Tagovailoa stepped aside. He played ahead of rookie Quinn Ewers and put together solid numbers. Wilson completed nine of his 13 pass attempts for 80 yards, and he converted a big fourth-and-16 play that set up the Dolphins' second score of the day in their 14-6 victory over Jacksonville. Wilson finished the preseason with 327 passing yards and a 64.4% completion rate in three games, along with a passing touchdown and 19 rushing yards. Wilson played ahead of rookie Quinn Ewers, who has had a solid preseason. Ewers completed seven of his eight passes for 66 yards but did not lead a scoring drive. As the season starts, Wilson seems to have a firm grasp on the primary backup role behind Tua, but Ewers could figure in the mix further down the road.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado received the most carries out of a crowded backfield on Saturday, but couldn't turn it into much. As the Cardinals beat the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday, Demercado posted 22 yards on seven carries and caught two of his three targets for eight yards. Bam Knight led the way with 83 yards and a touchdown on five carries, while Michael Carter posted 47 yards on five carries. Demercado's preseason left a lot to be desired, but the 26-year-old seems to still have the trust of the team as the third-string back for the time being.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) played at less than 100 percent during Saturday's preseason contest. Guerendo started the game, but re-aggravated his shoulder injury in the first quarter. Luckily, Guerendo was able to return to the game after getting looked at on the sideline. At the moment, all signs point to Guerendo being available for the season opener. However, his fantasy value is going to take a serious hit with Brian Robinson Jr. taking over as the RB2 in San Francisco. Guerendo probably won't see significant snaps unless someone gets hurt in the backfield.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight saved his best game for last in the preseason victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday. The 24-year-old led all rushers in yards and touchdowns after he registered 83 yards on five carries and a big 67-yard touchdown run. Knight was able to find a hole right up the middle and break away from the Raiders' defense at the end of the third quarter. There hasn't been any official word on the depth chart yet, but Knight could have put plenty of pressure on Emari Demercado and DeeJay Dallas for the final RB spot.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa played into the second quarter on Saturday, as the Dolphins completed their preseason with a 14-7 win over the Jaguars. Tua completed four of his eight pass attempts for 49 yards and was sacked twice. After going three-and-out on his first two possessions, he connected with Malik Washington for a touchdown early in the second quarter to cap his final drive of the day and added a two-point conversion toss to Pharaoh Brown. Tua and the Dolphins head to Indianapolis for a Week 1 matchup with the Colts. His pass protection could limit his fantasy upside after struggling this preseason, but the sixth-year quarterback has a high ceiling in coach Mike McDaniel's offense and will start the year healthy. He begins the season as a mid-level fantasy option with the potential for big plays and spike weeks.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Simi Fehoko was able to grab a second touchdown reception in as many preseason games. During the 20-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday, Fehoko saw two targets and caught one of them for a 10-yard touchdown towards the end of the first quarter. The former fifth-round pick finishes the preseason with three receptions for 31 yards and two touchdowns. While he's still a long shot even in dynasty leagues, Fehoko could be hanging around as a depth option for the Cardinals this season.

According to Nick Wagoner, Brian Robinson Jr. was brought on to be the second back in San Francisco. This shouldn't come as a shock given how well Robinson performed during his days in Washington. 49ers' head coach Kyle Shanahan said they've had their eyes on Robinson for a while and are pumped to have him in San Francisco. The oft-injured Christian McCaffrey is going to lead the way, but Robinson appears to be second on the pecking order. That means, Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) will fall to third on the depth chart, which will hurt his overall fantasy value. Robinson is well worth a stash in fantasy leagues given McCaffrey has been limited to seven games or less in three of the last five seasons.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Clayton Tune was under duress for most of the game during the 20-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, but was able to lead the team to a touchdown. He finished the game with 83 yards and a touchdown on 12-for-20 passing while adding five carries for 47 yards. He also took five sacks, which makes sense when the Cardinals weren't playing any starters in this preseason finale. Tune seems to be locked into the third-string spot after Jacoby Brissett posted a solid couple of preseason games. Before this final game, Tune only accrued 47 passing yards, one interception, and no touchdowns.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington seems to have secured the team's third receiver spot on the depth chart with a big preseason. Washington caught all three of his targets in Saturday's preseason finale and finished with 41 yards and a touchdown. He was targeted on three of Tua Tagovailoa's eight pass attempts and continues to show a good rapport with the Dolphins' starting QB. Star receiver Tyreek Hill did not play this preseason, and when he's in the mix, Washington's role will likely be reduced. However, the second-year receiver from Virginia looks like he'll be a trusted option for Tua, making him worth a late-round flier in standard leagues since he brings good upside after a strong offseason, training camp, and preseason.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell caught his lone target for a four-yard gain in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Mitchell got the start but was overshadowed by Laquon Treadwell, who popped off for 116 yards and a touchdown in the win. The second-year receiver's spot on the roster is safe but he appears to be behind Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce on the depth chart. That being said, Downs is already dealing with a hamstring injury, a situation that could give Mitchell a larger role early in the season. For now, Mitchell is nothing more than a late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II put the finishing touches on an impressive preseason with 43 rushing yards on eight carries on Saturday against the Jaguars. He totaled 126 rushing yards and a touchdown over his three preseason games, with three catches for 48 more yards. Gordon's fellow running backs in Miami's backfield are dealing with injuries, which could leave him more work to start the season. De'Von Achane (calf) is uncertain for the season opener, and Jaylen Wright (leg) is described as "week to week." Gordon was a sixth-round pick out of Oklahoma State, and he has stood out this preseason with his physical running style, pass protection, and work out of the backfield. He could be set for a big workload in Week 1 against the Colts, depending on the injury to Achane. Gordon is definitely worth a look towards the end of your standard-sized leagues and is a flier pick with a high ceiling coming into his rookie year.

Indianapolis Colts running back DJ Giddens carried the ball six times for 22 yards in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Giddens got the start and played throughout the first quarter before calling it a day in the blowout win. The rookie running back has been competing to be the primary backup to Jonathan Taylor throughout camp and has a good chance at earning that role after Tyler Goodson and Khalil Herbert have both been sidelined by injuries. If Giddens does earn that role, he would be a strong late-round choice in fantasy drafts as a handcuff to Taylor, who has dealt with multiple injuries over the years.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Laquon Treadwell caught all six of his targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Treadwell got the start and played throughout the first half, doing most of his damage on a 59-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. The former first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings is looking to survive final cuts after not appearing in any regular-season games in 2024 but he would not have a significant role on the Colts' offense even if he makes the team.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku caught both of his targets for 20 yards in a 19-17 preseason win over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. Njoku got his first action of the preseason, catching a pair of balls from starter Joe Flacco in the team's final tune-up before they prepare to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. Njoku remains a rock-solid mid-range TE1 in fantasy leagues and should be a safe selection heading into drafts.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Riley Leonard completed 15 of his 20 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown and added a 14-yard rush in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Leonard got the start and looked sharp in the contest, finding Laquon Treadwell for a 59-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The Colts used a sixth-round pick on the former Notre Dame QB in this past NFL draft and he appears likely to open the year as the team's third quarterback behind Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson Sr. The Colts will now begin preparing for Week 1 and the Miami Dolphins.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel completed 12 of his 19 passes for 129 yards and one touchdown in a 19-17 preseason victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. Gabriel took over for Joe Flacco early in the second quarter and looked good, finding Gage Larvadain for a three-yard touchdown completion at the end of the quarter. The rookie has been battling with Shedeur Sanders for the backup QB role behind Flacco throughout camp. Gabriel easily outplayed Sanders on Saturday as the latter only converted one first down on his five drives, all of which resulted in a punt. Gabriel is likely to be the team's backup to Flacco when they take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. caught both of his targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in a 19-17 preseason win over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. Fannin played throughout the first quarter in tandem with David Njoku and caught Joe Flacco's lone touchdown toss, a 15-yarder with 6:33 left in the first. The rookie tight end was lined up as a wide receiver on the play, showing his versatility as the Browns have been trying to capitalize on his pass-catching skills. Fannin is unlikely to have a huge role from a fantasy perspective this season but he remains an intriguing dynasty prospect moving forward. He will now turn his attention toward the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders completed three of his six passes for 14 yards in a 19-17 preseason win over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. Sanders played five series in the second half of the game and was unable to move the ball as each of his five drives ended in a Cleveland punt. He took five sacks with the Browns only picking up one first down with Sanders under center. It was a rough audition for Sanders, who was soundly outplayed by fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel in the preseason finale. The Browns could carry four quarterbacks on their final roster, but Sanders appears to be behind Gabriel as the team now turns their attention to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco completed nine of his 10 passes for 71 yards and a touchdown in a 19-17 preseason win over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday. Flacco got the start and played into the second quarter, finding tight end Harold Fannin Jr. for a 15-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter. Making his only appearance of the preseason, Flacco has already been named the Browns' starting quarterback heading into Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He settles in as a high-end QB3 in fantasy heading into drafts as the Cleveland offense is not expected to be very explosive this season.

From RotoBaller

Wide receiver Demarcus Robinson found the end zone to put the first points on the board for the 49ers in their 30-23 victory over the Chargers on Sunday. The 30-year-old veteran reeled in a 22-yard pass from quarterback Tanner Mordecai to open up the second quarter of the preseason finale. Robinson finishes the preseason with seven receptions for 94 yards and one touchdown. Robinson will start his tenth NFL season serving a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy in the offseason. When he returns to action, he will be in the mix as San Francisco's third wide receiver behind Jauan Jennings (calf) and Ricky Pearsall, at least until Brandon Aiyuk (knee) can take the field. Robinson may eventually prove himself to be a worthy flex streamer, but fantasy managers can avoid him in their upcoming drafts.
