I've been watching a few offensive guys for fantasy.

Good: Golladay, Mixon, Cook

Bad: Perrine

It's obviously way too early to tell, but Kenny Golladay has been making some great strides and could easily grow into the Lions' #1 receiver within a few years. Jarrad Davis is also looking good, and will probably end up being a massive upgrade for the defense. For the Lions, the only disappointment so far is arguably Michael Roberts, as he's been having some issues with drops and fumbles in camp and a TE that can't catch is literally the last thing there Lions need right now.

Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye have had ridiculous camps and will both start from day 1.

They're also playing against trash QBs, trash WRs, and trash TEs so despite almost zero professional experience they're still far better than their competition.

Both Tre White and Zay Jones have been getting fairly glowing coverage among Bills beat writers. Both will be the #1 of their respective position groups because of the Bills good rear end trades.

Malik McDowell has been fairly invisible for some reason.

Real answer for the Hawks is that the 7th rounder Chris Carson looks great and may end up making Eddie Lacy redundant. Of course, preseason lol.

Any Bucs goons have a read on how OJ Howard has been? He looked like a monster, that offense will be fun as hell if he performs.

He's been solid. The star has been Chris Godwin for the Bucs.

I watched their first preseason game and Hackenberg looked acceptable because they were just scheming a dude open within 5 yards of him and he's okay at that

Like every video he does he does that kinda half turn back to the Los and than run around them thing and I hope he doesn't do that in a real game cause lol this isn't college. Someone from the middle of the field is going to clean him up

E: the lb also had him if he could shoot a tackle or go for the legs.

Seattle doesnt exactly have a great defensive record against Carolina when they have their offensive compliment.

Kelvin poo poo all over their defensive backs as a rookie and Olsen pretty much owns their entire back 7.

Supposedly Tim Williams has been embarrassing Ravens o-linemen in every practice but that just means he's clowned a bunch of nobodies who just got off the bus. Bowzer and Humphery have been present, nothing good or bad. The big news all training camp for Baltimore, outside of everyone dying, was that it was finally coming together for Breshad Perriman and he was looking like a real #1 WR. Since he's been injured for all of the preseason no one can actually confirm or deny that Perriman isn't in fact a shared hallucination.

Hopefully he's being coached to continue to the sideline and turn up after making the catch, and remind him that the LB there isn't allowed to go for the legs or put his shoulder into him when the ball arrives.

I still remember that story Ray Rice told about trying to dance around a tackle like that in practice and Ray Lewis just lit him up outside of the practice rules and decleated him.

He looks a lot more decisive in the last two games. Against the titans he just keyed his blocks and accelerated. He looks good. I think he's probably good for one stupid play at least in his rookie year but it's probably as much him knowing hes not going to get lit up so he can gently caress around a little more as anything else in shells.
