2024 Fantasy Football Preseason Stock – Week 1
Broncos at Colts
Javonte Williams, RB, Broncos 
Javonte Williams must have earned back Sean Payton’s trust since then because he was given the start in this game, playing well ahead of all the other backs, save for Samaje Perine, who saw action on third down. Williams looked rather spry. It’s not a surprise that he’s a new man now that he’s two years removed from a torn ACL. His top competitors, Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime, both played into the third quarter.

Buccaneers at Bengals
Joe Burrow, QB, Bengals Joe Burrow suffered an injury last August that caused him to struggle mightily to begin the 2023 season. The Burrow seen in this game looked like a completely different player. He resembled the quarterback who led his team to the Super Bowl a few years ago, as he was incredibly precise on all of his throws despite Ja’Marr Chase being unavailable due to rest.

49ers at Titans
Tony Pollard, RB, Titans Tony Pollard looked like the superior player. It seemed as though his burst was back after it was missing last year. On one play, he spun out of a tackle after making a reception in the end zone. On the next drive, Pollard showed great acceleration on a 25-yard sprint.

Chiefs at Jaguars
Marquise Brown, WR, Chiefs 
Marquise Brown left the game with a shoulder injury. Some are theorizing that it’s an AC joint sprain, which could cost him a month or more if that’s the case.

Seahawks at Chargers
Kimani Vidal, RB, Chargers Kimani Vidal warmed up, but Jim Harbaugh decided not to use him. There’s always a chance this was a punishment of some sort, but I think it’s more likely to be a bullish indicator, as Harbaugh may have deemed Vidal too important to be utilized in a meaningless preseason game.

Packers at Browns
MarShawn Lloyd, RB, Packers If you’ve been excited about Packers rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd, you may want to re-think the outlook you have for him. Lloyd played behind both A.J. Dillon and Emanuel Wilson, and if that wasn’t enough, Lloyd suffered a hamstring injury after just one carry.

Raiders at Vikings
Jakobi Meyers, WR, Raiders Jakobi Meyers enjoyed a great training camp, and that carried over into the preseason opener. He showed the best chemistry with Aidan O’Connell, though it should be noted that Davante Adams didn’t play. Still, Adams could be traded, which would greatly benefit Meyers’ fantasy outlook.

Redskins at Jets
Braelon Allen, RB, Jets Braelon Allen drew the start with Breece Hall resting. Allen showed nice power with an early 7-yard carry, then caught a 12-yard pass on a third-and-9, though the play was negated by a penalty. After some minimal gains, Allen broke free with a 24-yard burst behind left tackle Olu Fashanu.

Falcons at Dolphins
Jaylen Wright, RB, Dolphins Jaylen Wright had some runs where he was able to stay on his feet after contact. He looked just as impressive as the numbers below indicate, though it’s impossible to read too much into that performance because he was battling nothing but practice squad-caliber defenders.

Eagles at Ravens
Will Shipley, RB, Eagles Will Shipley had a terrific blitz pickup on the second drive, allowing Pickett to complete a deep pass. Shipley then had some tough inside runs and capped off the possession with a 7-yard touchdown reception.

Lions at Giants
Tyrone Tracy, RB, Giants Tyrone Tracy was the most productive rookie for the Giants in their preseason opener. He looked every bit as good as the 5.2 YPC he earned indicates. There was one play where Tracy appeared to be bottled up in the backfield, but was able to squeeze out a positive gain. He then made a nice juke move to pick up a decent chunk of yards. It’s not out of the question that Tracy could end up as the Giants’ starting running back at some point.
