2024 Fantasy Football Preseason Stock – Week 3




Titans at Saints

Tony Pollard, RB, Titans
Player performance is often overrated in the preseason, whereas player usage is much more significant. This was prevalent in the Titans’ preseason finale, as Tony Pollard was on the field for every single play during the opening drive. Tyjae Spears entered the field on the second possession, but lost snaps to Pollard on that drive as well. Spears even played a bit with Mason Rudolph. This is huge for Pollard’s fantasy outlook.

Browns at Seahawks

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seahawks
Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught two passes on one drive, including a 25-yard deep ball. Smith-Njigba is expected to make a big leap in his second year, so it was encouraging to see him have as many targets as D.K. Metcalf from Geno Smith, albeit in a very small sample size.

Panthers at Bills

Diontae Johnson, WR, Panthers
Diontae Johnson saw more targets (3) than any other Panther from Bryce Young. We were told that the offense would flow through Johnson, and this is some sort of confirmation of that.

49ers at Raiders

Jordan Mason, RB, 49ers
With Christian McCaffrey sidelined in the final preseason game, Jordan Mason saw the entire workload with the starters. He made a diving catch that was ruled incomplete upon replay review, and he was also able to elude defenders on an 8-yard reception. Mason, who has won the No. 2 job, is worth a late-round flier because he’ll be very productive if McCaffrey’s calf injury continues to linger.

Jaguars at Falcons

Evan Engram, TE, Jaguars
Evan Engram is known for not scoring many touchdowns, but that could change this year. He saw four targets from Trevor Lawrence in the preseason finale, with two coming in the end zone. Engram converted on both. With Calvin Ridley gone, Engram could have his best season yet.

Brian Thomas Jr., WR, Jaguars
Brian Thomas Jr. had a huge play on the opening drive of the preseason finale, catching an intermediate pass over the middle of the field and then doing the rest en route to a 38-yard gain. He saw two targets.

Colts at Bengals

Adonai Mitchell, WR, Colts
Adonai Mitchell saw the most targets from Anthony Richardson in the preseason finale. This is a very significant development, as Mitchell becomes a very intriguing late-round fantasy flier. Mitchell’s first reception was a short toss in which he picked up nine yards thanks to some good blocking. He then caught another short pass and scored a touchdown.
