2025 Fantasy Football Preseason Stock – Week 3
Raiders at Cardinals
Dont’e Thornton, WR, Raiders 
Dont’e Thornton saw two targets from Geno Smith in the preseason finale. Smith hit Thornton on a third down to move the chains and later fired a back-shoulder pass to Thornton, which the rookie reeled in for a touchdown. Charlie Campbell, who has multiple sources with the Raiders, has said that Thornton is viewed as the No. 1 receiver on the team despite being a fourth-round rookie.

Jaguars at Dolphins
Ollie Gordon, RB, Dolphins Ollie Gordon drew the start at running back in the preseason finale and was terrific. He showed nice vision to find the correct running lane and displayed great burst as he charged through those lanes. He constantly plowed over defenders and carried potential tacklers. Gordon has been awesome this preseason and is the handcuff to own for De’Von Achane. Given that Achane is currently dealing with an injury, Gordon must be owned in all leagues.

Broncos at Saints
R.J. Harvey, RB, Broncos 
R.J. Harvey played in the preseason finale, while J.K. Dobbins sat. Harvey had a disappointing output. He barely got any yardage on his four touches, as he once again displayed poor running vision. Even worse, he rotated with Tyler Badie. This is an indication that Harvey won’t be the sole ball-carrier if Dobbins were to suffer another injury.
Bo Nix, QB, Broncos Bo Nix looked excellent against New Orleans’ starters. He had a terrific back-shoulder pass to Courtland Sutton for a gain of 14 on a fourth down. He then had a great connection to Sutton after bootlegging left, with Sutton spinning away for more yardage. Nix capped off the drive with a touchdown pass to Sutton.
Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos If the preseason finale is any indication, Courtland Sutton is going to get a million targets this year. He was thrown to on seven of Bo Nix’s 14 passes, and no other Bronco had more than two targets. Sutton reeled in a 14-yard back-shoulder pass on a fourth down and later spun away for extra yardage after making a deep reception. He snatched a contested catch touchdown as well.

Ravens at Redskins
Jacory Croskey-Merritt, RB, Redskins Chris Rodriguez started the preseason finale along with the deep backups. That is potentially a huge development because Jacory Croskey-Merritt didn’t play. That’s an extremely bullish indication for Croskey-Merritt, who could be in line for the bulk of the early-down workload.

Bears at Chiefs
Rome Odunze, WR, Bears There seems to be a changing of the guard as far as Chicago’s No. 1 receiver is concerned. Rome Odunze saw a whopping five targets in the preseason finale, which was four more than D.J. Moore. In fact, there was one instance in the final minutes of the second quarter where Moore was seen slowly jogging back to the line of scrimmage as the clock was ticking. Perhaps I’m making something out of nothing, but Moore looked completely uninterested in playing football. Odunze, on the other hand, made some big catches and was targeted twice in the end zone. Even the Chiefs announcer remarked that Odunze looked special.
Isiah Pacheco, RB, Chiefs Isiah Pacheco drew the start in the final preseason game, and there was good news and bad news attached to his performance. The good news is that he looked much more explosive than he did in 2024 as a result of being fully healthy. The bad news is that he rotated with Kareem Hunt. This could be a byproduct of trying to keep Pacheco fresh by not running him into the ground during a preseason game, but it was still discouraging to see something like this.
Brashard Smith, RB, Chiefs Brashard White was used in the passing game. Patrick Mahomes targeted Smith twice on a pair of second downs. The announcers made note that the Chiefs were excited to see what they had in Smith as a passing-game weapon.

Falcons at Cowboys
Jaydon Blue, RB, Cowboys Jaydon Blue was the most significant fantasy player in this game. There was bad news, which was that Blue played behind Deuce Vaughn. It was his first preseason action coming off injury, however, so that’s understandable. The good news is that Blue looked good. He showed tremendous burst on a gain of 13 and scored a touchdown a few plays later. Unfortunately for Blue and his fantasy owner, there was more bad news. Blue was knocked out of the game with a leg injury. He walked off the field without help, but it’s a bad sign that he suffered another injury.
