Fantasy Football: 10 biggest reactions to NFL preseason Week 1
Key Points:
- Jonathon Brooks is starting for the Carolina Panthers due to Chuba Hubbard’s hamstring injury, with Brooks handling early-down and short-yardage work, boosting his fantasy football value despite a rising ADP.
- Arizona’s rookie running back Jeremiyah Love made his NFL debut with significant snaps, starting ahead of Tyler Allgeier and suggesting a promising role, although Allgeier may still cut into his playing time.
- The New York Giants are employing a running back committee with Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy, and Devin Singletary sharing snaps, creating uncertainty about a clear lead back and complicating fantasy draft decisions.
- The Miami Dolphins have established Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington as their top wide receivers, with both playing all snaps in multiple personnel groupings, indicating they will be primary targets this season.
- Buffalo Bills have consolidated their tight end usage around Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox, reducing Jackson Hawes’ role significantly, while Giants’ Isaiah Likely is seeing limited snaps in a tight end rotation, impacting their fantasy outlooks.
