2016 Fantasy Football Preseason Stock – Week 4



Broncos at Cardinals

John Brown, WR, Cardinals
John Brown played in the preseason finale, which is big news because he endured headaches throughout the entire month of August. Brown was not targeted on two drives, but the fact that he was on the field is great news. Unfortunately, he’s still quite the risk, given that he missed so much time with only one concussion. How long will he be absent if he sustains another?

Bears at Browns

Jordan Howard, RB, Bears
Jordan Howard was very impressive in the preseason finale, gaining 107 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. He was terrific in every regard. He moved piles, dragged defenders, displayed balanced and showcased his athleticism and power. The Cleveland announcers were very impressed, citing that John Fox “may have found his new running back.” Howard is worth a late-round flier if you’re drafting this weekend.

Ravens at Saints

Drew Brees, QB, Saints
Drew Brees went 3-of-6 for 40 yards against the Ravens. This occurred on just a single drive, but it was discouraging because his offensive line had trouble pass protecting against the Baltimore practice squad fodder; Brees had to throw two passes away because he was under duress. Left tackle Terron Armstead is not healthy, and it’s definitely going to impact Brees’ season. Brees is now 37, so it shouldn’t completely surprise anyone if he didn’t make it through all 16 games this year. At his ADP (5.08), I’d recommend staying away.

Steelers at Panthers

Sammie Coates, WR, Steelers
R.I.P. Sammie Coates’ fantasy stock. I loved Coates as a sleeper back in July, but he disappointed in every preseason game. That includes this one, where he didn’t catch a single pass. Coates’ fantasy outlook was on life support, but it has officially been pronounced dead.

Patriots at Giants

Tom Brady, QB, Patriots
Tom Brady finished 16-of-26 for 166 yards, one touchdown and the pick in the preseason finale. The numbers aren’t horrible until you factor in that more than half of Brady’s snaps came against practice squad-caliber scrubs. If there’s any sort of silver lining, it’s that Brady was woeful last August as well and then went on to have a terrific season. I speculate that some sort of help was involved, but I have no proof of this. Still, Brady is now 39, so expecting him to repeat what he did in 2015 is being very optimistic.

Paul Perkins, RB, Giants
Giants rookie running back Paul Perkins had a rough preseason finale. If his meager stat line wasn’t bad enough (2 carries, 1 yard), he also lost a fumble and dropped a pass.

Jaguars at Falcons

Austin Hooper, TE, Falcons
Austin Hooper had a miserable preseason finale. He caught just one of his four targets for eight yards. Two of the balls thrown to him were drops that popped into the air for interceptions. It’s bad enough when this happens once, but twice in a single half!? It’s going to be difficult for Hooper to see playing time anytime soon.

Titans at Dolphins

Jay Ajayi, RB, Dolphins
The Dolphins didn’t play their starters in the preseason finale, yet Jay Ajayi was on the field. That’s very telling for what Miami plans on doing, as it basically cements Arian Foster’s role as the starter until he sustains an injury, likely in late September or early October. Ajayi performed poorly, fumbling on the first carry of the game. Ajayi then ripped off a 16-yard run, but was stuffed on his other two opportunities, finishing with 13 yards on three attempts. He also dropped a pass. I’m not convinced that Ajayi will be Miami’s starter when Foster gets hurt. It could definitely be Isaiah Pead.

Redskins at Buccaneers

Robert Kelley, RB, Redskins
Robert Kelley is the non-Matt Jones Washington running back you want on your fantasy roster. I was worried that Kelley was even on the field, as I didn’t want him to sustain an injury. Kelley looked good, showcasing some nifty cuts on numerous runs. Kelly tallied 99 yards on 16 attempts. I love him as a late-round Fantasy Football Sleeper.
