2019 Fantasy Football Preseason Stock – Week 2
49ers at Broncos
Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, 49ers 
Jimmy Garappolo had a rough night at Denver. Garoppolo was picked off on his second pass by cornerback Isaac Yiadom. Garoppolo was under heavy pressure from Bradley Chubb and irresponsibly just heaved up a ball for grabs. Things continued to trend poorly for Garoppolo, as two of his passes were batted on his first couple of drives. He then had a pick-six that was dropped, as Garoppolo was once again rattled by pressure.
Garoppolo finished 1-of-6 for zero yards and the interception. His sole completion was a dump-off to Matt Breida. If this were just an isolated situation, I wouldn’t be too concerned, but reports have indicated that Garoppolo has struggled with interceptions in practice. Garoppolo is not being drafted highly, so we can’t call him a potential fantasy draft bust, but it’s going to be difficult to justify using anything more than a very late-round pick on him.
Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Broncos 
Emmanuel Sanders played for the first time since his devastating injury from late last year. He looked perfectly healthy, as Joe Flacco went to Sanders immediately. Sanders then made a defender miss on an end-around, rushing for 19 yards on the play. Sanders’ final highlight was securing a deep reception from Flacco, but the play was nullified by a penalty. I’m worried about Sanders staying healthy, given the quick turn-around from his injury, but he looked like his former self in this contest.

Seahawks at Vikings
Tyler Lockett, WR, Seahawks Tyler Lockett caught three passes for 27 yards in just two drives during the second preseason game. Lockett used to just be a deep threat, but he has emerged as a well-rounded receiver. Lockett projects as a quality WR2 in all fantasy formats.
Rashaad Penny, RB, Seahawks Rashaad Penny had a touch or two sprinkled in with the first team against the Vikings, but he mostly played with the backups. Penny struggled to find running room all evening, finishing with minus-2 yards on six carries. He’s clearly behind Chris Carson, and it doesn’t seem as though he’s going to pass the veteran anytime soon.
Adam Thielen, WR, Vikings Adam Thielen was fantastic in the second preseason game. He hauled in an over-the-shoulder bomb for 34 yards, beating cornerback Shaq Griffin. He followed that up by drawing a deep pass interference penalty. Thielen ended up with three receptions for 45 yards on just two drives. Thielen has been going later than he should in the fantasy mock drafts I’ve done this summer, so I imagine I’ll end up with him on many of my teams.

Lions at Texans
Deshaun Watson, QB, Texans It was another rough night for first-round tackle Tytus Howard against the Lions. The new left tackle surrendered a sack and then went into the locker room with some sort of undisclosed injury. I can’t believe that the Texans have mismanaged their offensive line this poorly. I’ll be surprised if Deshaun Watson doesn’t miss games in 2019. It could be argued that the Texans have the worst blocking in the NFL, which is saying something because there are some very poor offensive lines around the league.

Cowboys vs. Rams
Tony Pollard, RB, Cowboys Tony Pollard started in Hawaii and was very impressive. Pollard picked up 42 yards on five carries, scoring a touchdown in the process. The score was special, as Pollard trampled over a defender and ran like a freight train into the end zone. He was going against backups, but Pollard has looked good otherwise. He’s worth a late-round flier just in case Elliott misses time in the regular season.

Chiefs at Steelers
Darwin Thompson, RB, Chiefs Darwin Thompson entered the second preseason in the middle of the second quarter. He immediately looked great, breaking a run to the outside to pick up a gain of 14 yards. He then broke out of a Bud Dupree tackle to pick up two yards when he easily could have gone down for a substantial loss. Thompson then followed that up with a nice cut to bounce outside for an 11-yard burst. Thompson finished with 30 yards on four carries. He appears to be the best running back on Kansas City’s roster.
James Washington, WR, Steelers James Washington was brilliant against the Chiefs. Washington caught a tough pass in between multiple defenders, then hauled in an awesome, leaping sideline grab. He followed that up with a 40-yard reception on a bomb from Joshau Dobbs. Washington led the team in receiving with four receptions for 78 yards. Washington is my favorite sleeper receiver. If the Steelers are aware of how talented he is, he’ll receive more snaps than Donte Moncrief.

Patriots at Titans
Delanie Walker, TE, Titans It was nice to see Delanie Walker on the field for the first time since his injury. Walker caught a pass while falling to the ground against the Patriots, indicating that he’s fully healthy. Walker later reeled in a touchdown. He finished with two receptions for 26 yards and a score in about a quarter of action.

Browns at Colts
Deon Cain, WR, Colts Deon Cain missed last season with an injury. He was a sixth-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and he outplayed his status in the second preseason game. Cain was excellent, using his speed to catch seven passes for 80 yards. He made a great reception in traffic and made a man miss to pick up a gain of 38. He later secured a terrific sideline catch, getting both of his feet down before falling out of play. Cain has talent, and there’s an opportunity to move up the depth chart. He’s a fine late-round flier, as his upside is tremendous if he can play with Andrew Luck during real action.

Dolphins at Buccaneers
Kalen Ballage, RB, Dolphins The Dolphins started Mark Walton as their running back against Tampa. This is significant in that they opted to rest Kalen Ballage, indicating that they deem him too important to play in a meaningless game. With Kenyan Drake hurt, Miami doesn’t have anything beyond Ballage at the position.

Bills at Panthers
Josh Allen, QB, Bills Josh Allen played a couple of drives against the Panthers and looked tremendous. He had a nice touch pass to tight end Tommy Sweeney for 22 yards in the early going, then made an accurate throw to Sweeney down the same to move inside the 5-yard line. Allen was far more accurate than he was last year, going 9-of-12 for 102 yards. He scrambled just once, but Allen is undoubtedly saving that for real action.

Jets at Falcons
Robby Anderson, WR, Jets Robby Anderson caught all three of his targets for 32 yards against the Falcons. With Sam Darnold looking like he has made a huge leap, Anderson seems set to have a huge season.
Sam Darnold, QB, Jets I have a 100/1 wager on Sam Darnold to win MVP this year, and I was encouraged by his performance against the Falcons. Darnold made some terrific throws in this contest, prompting one of the Atlanta broadcasters to comment, “The ball placement by Darnold is making it impossible for the Falcons to make a play.” Darnold’s best attempt was a perfect back-shoulder throw to Robby Anderson. Darnold went 5-of-7 for 46 yards in a quarter of action despite not having Le’Veon Bell at his disposal. Darnold seems primed for a big season.

Bengals at Redskins
Adrian Peterson, RB, Redskins Derrius Guice is injured, so Adrian Peterson started Washington’s second preseason game. Peterson looked great, gaining 31 yards on four carries. He looked like a spry 25-year-old, which is something Redskins sideline reporter and former Washingtonr running back Clinton Portis agreed with. “Adrian Peterson is probably in better shape than everyone else on the field,” Portis said. I’m not high on Washington this year because of its offensive line, but Peterson is going too late in drafts and can be obtained for value.

Raiders at Cardinals
Kyler Murray, QB, Cardinals Kyler Murray failed to complete half of his attempts against the Raiders, going 3-of-8 for only 12 yards. He began by throwing behind Larry Fitzgerald, though he was chased by Clelin Ferrell at the time. He overshot Christian Kirk. He then sailed a pass over Fitzgerald’s head and followed that up by doing the same to Kirk once again. Murray finally made a nice connection on a back-shoulder throw to KeeSean Johnson, but Johnson was flagged for offensive pass interference. Murray finished his night by taking a safety on a blitz from Lamarcus Joyner. Murray didn’t see him. Murray was far worse in this game than he was in his debut. It didn’t look like he was prepared for the blitz.

Packers at Ravens
Justice Hill, RB, Ravens Justice Hill was the fourth running back to see the field for the Ravens in their second preseason game, but Baltimore is going to have trouble keeping its dynamic rookie off the field. Hill looked great in this contest, rushing for 49 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. His score was a short-yardage run in the third quarter. His longest rush, a gain of 14, featured a nice cut and great explosion. Hill will continue to be one of my top Fantasy Football Sleepers.

Eagles at Jaguars
Miles Sanders, RB, Eagles Miles Sanders started ahead of Jordan Howard in the second preseason contest. Both Sanders and Howard played, so it’s not like the latter sat out like his quarterback. Sanders was the primary runner, while Howard handled short-yardage work. Sanders had some nice runs, opening with a burst of 12 yards, thanks to a great block. He later carried some defenders on a gain of 16 yards. Sanders finished with 31 yards on five attempts. It’s unclear if the Eagles will keep Sanders ahead of Jordan, but I would rather have the rookie on my fantasy roster than the former Bear.
