Allen has played well this preseason, completing 35 of his 44 pass attempts for 401 yards and five touchdowns. He is a lock to open the season as the Lions' QB2 ...

Saylors finishes the preseason with 164 yards from scrimmage on 40 total touches. If Vaki's injury leads him to miss the start of ...

Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and CeeDee Lamb will lead their team in targets. They have high odds to lead the league in targets, something each has done once in the last three seasons.But they play with good, if not great, secondary options. Chase has Tee Higgins.

All six of these backs have massive ceilings in 2025. But because they're not the obvious picks to finish the year as the overall RB1, we'll refer to them as "dark-horses."Last week, I...

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is currently uncertain for the season opener due to injury. A few weeks ago, Spears suffered a high ankle sprain during a preseason contest. As of this week, Spears is still in a safety boot and moving around with a scooter. It doesn't seem like Spears is going to be ready for Week 1, but there is still some time. If he's out, Julius Chestnut and Kalel Mullings figure to operate as the backups behind Tony Pollard. Spears figures to have a ...

Houston Texans wide receiver Quintez Cephus finished the preseason on a high note, catching four of his seven targets for 51 yards and a touchdown against his former team, the Lions. Cephus' six-yard touchdown catch from Graham Mertz put the Texans ahead 16-7 just before halftime, and they went on to win 26-7. The Texans did not play starting quarterback C.J. Stroud or primary backup Davis Mills, but Cephus looked productive playing with rookie Graham Mertz. Cephus was a fifth-round pick of ...
