NBC Sports • • general
Key Points:
- Arizona Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love impressed in preseason opener, out-snapping Tyler Allgeier and appearing as a strong fantasy option moving forward.
- Atlanta Falcons established a clear three-receiver set with Drake London, Jahan Dotson, and Olamide Zaccheaus, while rookie Zachariah Branch played primarily in the slot but may be overvalued in drafts.
- Baltimore Ravens' Ja’Kobi Lane scored his first career touchdown and is currently the focus over fellow rookie Elijah Sarratt, who showed promise despite a fumble.
- Buffalo Bills' wide receiver competition remains unclear with DJ Moore, Keon Coleman, and Khalil Shakir all running significant routes, leaving the WR3 spot up for debate.
- Miami Dolphins' rookie Caleb Douglas emerged as the clear WR1 in preseason play, taking every snap with Malik Willis and rising in fantasy draft boards despite quarterback uncertainty.
