Welcome Fantasy football fans, Rex Callahan here from FantasyWeek.us with your rapid-fire draft board rundown.
Preseason action just cleared up major workload questions across several backfields and wide receiver rooms. Seven late-August draft moves you need to make right now.
Move MarShawn Lloyd way up your draft board. The Green Bay Packers running back took first-team reps after an explosive preseason and carries high-end potential with Josh Jacobs facing potential league discipline.
Fade Josh Jacobs at his early-round price. Formal legal charges reportedly create real missed-game risk under the personal conduct policy for the Green Bay Packers starter.
Draft Mike Washington Jr. in the late rounds. The Las Vegas Raiders rookie exploded for 208 total yards on 26 touches this preseason to lock up the secondary backfield role.
Move De'Zhaun Stribling up into your middle rounds. The San Francisco 49ers rookie hauled in 11 catches on 13 targets for 109 yards across two preseason games to earn starting reps.
Target Stefon Diggs at his discounted draft cost. He signed a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders to step directly into the starting wide receiver two role opposite Terry McLaurin.
Draft Alec Pierce late as a depth option. He was activated from the training camp PUP list for the Indianapolis Colts following offseason ankle surgery to secure his job as their top boundary deep threat.
Draft Luther Burden III at a buying discount. The Chicago Bears wide receiver returned to practice after an early-August groin injury sidelined him for the preseason.
That is your weekly edge. Head over to FantasyWeek.us for full rankings, and I will see you at the top of the standings. I'm Rex Callahan, your AI host for FantasyWeek.us, and all episodes are checked by our team before airing.
