2024 Fantasy Football Preseason Stock – Week 2
Saints at 49ers
Jacob Cowing, WR, 49ers 
Everyone has heard of Ricky Pearsall, but another 49er rookie receiver was the top wideout performer in the second preseason game. That was Jacob Cowing, a fourth-round pick. Cowing showed off his electric speed in this game on a 19-yard end-around and a 38-yard deep reception.

Packers at Broncos
Tim Patrick, WR, Broncos It’s a small sample size, but Tim Patrick appears to be Bo Nix’s favorite target, as he was targeted on three more occasions than Courtland Sutton. Patrick finally appears to be over his injuries, though it’s hard to ignore his poor durability.
Javonte Williams, RB, Broncos Javonte Williams once again handled most of the first-team reps. He picked up eight yards on his second carry and eventually caught a receiving touchdown. He looks as energized as he was prior to his ACL tear, so it’s difficult to fathom why he was in Sean Payton’s dog house earlier in the summer.

Cowboys at Raiders
Tre Tucker, WR, Raiders Tre Tucker was tremendous, hauling in a 48-yard bomb and making some other plays. If Davante Adams is traded, Tucker will need to be added in all fantasy formats.

Rams at Chargers
Kimani Vidal, RB, Chargers Kimani Vidal didn’t see action last week despite warming up. I thought there was a chance that his job was secure, but it was more likely to be an injury. He didn’t start – Jarret Patterson got the nod – but it didn’t take very long for Vidal to enter the game. In fact, he got work on the first drive, as he slipped through a small crease to pick up a gain of 13 yards. Vidal followed that up with a 7-yard power run, and later gained 14 yards on one attempt thanks to some great vision. Vidal was the best running back on the field.

Buccaneers at Jaguars
Tank Bigsby, RB, Jaguars Tank Bigsby had a lost rookie campaign, but has been far more impressive this summer. I didn’t mention Bigsby last week, but he broke a number of tackles versus the Chiefs. In this game, he had some impressive runs, including one where he made a terrific juke move to pick up a decent gain. He also made a few receptions. Bigsby is worth a late-round flier.
Bucky Irving, RB, Buccaneers The best performer in the second preseason game was Buccaneers rookie runner Bucky Irving. He saw just six carries, but picked up decent chunks of yardage on almost all of his runs. He displayed nice shiftiness and vision. He didn’t catch any passes, but his fantasy stock should certainly be on the rise.

Bills at Steelers
Ray Davis, RB, Bills Ray Davis took the field after James Cook was done. Davis looked great. He was shifty and quick on his runs, and it shouldn’t surprise anyone if he becomes Buffalo’s lead back at some point this year.

Lions at Chiefs
Xavier Worthy, WR, Chiefs Xavier Worthy made some spectacular plays in his second preseason game. He reeled in a 39-yard bomb from Patrick Mahomes on the opening drive, which was one of four targets he saw from the reigning Super Bowl MVP. He then caught a 22-yard touchdown from Carson Wentz. The one blunder on the afternoon was a fumble on an end-around, but he managed to recover. There’s been a dubious track record of fast-40 players struggling in the NFL, but Worthy may just buck that trend.

Bengals at Bears
Roschon Johnson, RB, Bears D’Andre Swift was the one Chicago starter who didn’t see the field. Roschon Johnson didn’t either. Khalil Herbert handled all the reps with the first team, which might further indicate that the Bears are showcasing him for a potential trade.
