NFL Preseason 2018 Game Observations Thread (3 Viewers)

Maybe it's the SEA uniforms but I never noticed just how short Brandon Marshall's arms are. And how tiny his hands are..

He looks like a TRex out there, no wonder he drops everything.  

 
Lat Murray looked good last year and it continues this year.

My expectations for Cook would be tempered.
Completely agree. Already had him at the bottom of my 2nd tier RB’s. I think he’ll get enough work in the passing game to hold him up but I don’t think he sees GL work. 

 
My big draft is tomorrow and I have never been so unsure of what to do. I feel like when I mock and take "best player available" I end up with 5 RBs and a TE after 6 rounds. I am really struggling to find WRs I want to draft.

While I have taken OBJ, Julio and Hopkins after 1.10 I think the best way to go is RB/RB (Hope for Fournette/CMC/Hunt) then WR/WR rounds three and four. Unless you plan to get Gronk or Kelce somewhere in there. I’ve been targeting Reed in the 8th and Doyle in the 11th.

 
Agreed. I won't be owning Cook anywhere
I think this is how a lot of people feel which means he'll likely move down draft boards. Murray looks the same as he did after he got over his ankle injury last year, which is to say he looks good. But I'm more worried about the OL than I am Murray.

So I really like the idea of starting with Gordon/Barkley and then CMc/Howard. I just am not very excited about WRs like Thielen, Juju, Tate, Jones, Gordon as compared to the RBs like Lynch, Freeman, Drake. I am having a hard time drafting any WRs. 

 
I think the Keenum, Sanders and the Cousins, Diggs connections we've seen consistently through-out the preseason are very really. Imagine thinking that the preseason doesn't provide any fantasy value.

Redskins sideline reporter Clinton Portis interviewing Adrian Peterson: “We already know you’re probably going to be the starting running back, Day 1.”

Amari, ARob, Fitz, DT usually make it into those rounds. Not sure why you don’t like the WR’s a lot of those should see large target share. But everyone has their own style. Not sure CMC will make it to back half of round 2 at this point. If he does that’s gravy. You can find targets at WR.

Yep, I have Sanders ranked above DT at this point. It's not JUST the preseason but that certainly tipped the scales for me.

 
Means nothing but....did anyone else see Olsen catch a ball, slide out of bounds untouched and get marked down in bounds so the clock kept running? :lol:

Amari and Fitz I like. I am don't really want anything to do with ARob and I prefer Sanders to DT.

was wondering why this was called that way too.  Don't see how the ref can interpret that as a player "giving himself up."  He was forced to slide to make the catch, and momentum carried him out.  IMO, I think it was just a bad call

 
Murray had 7 total touches in the 3 games Cook played before getting hurt. In those 3 games, & in the 4th where he got hurt, Cook had a feature back load, including GL carries.

Cook is one of the few totally safe RBs as far as expecting top-end production (if healthy, of course). I guess the Vikes could ease Cook into action the first month or so, but barring that, Murray represents absolutely no threat to Cook's status as an elite FF RB.

Murray wasn't healthy in September last year. I remember this because I compared him to a tranquilized elephant.

Oh man, I disagree
