Fantasy Football Today

The first preseason games are in the books, and our fantasy football experts break down the biggest takeaways heading into another important weekend of NFL action. Jeremiyah Love made his NFL debut — so where should you be drafting the Cardinals rookie after getting our first look at him? De'Zhaun Stribling popped for the 49ers putting himself on the fantasy radar as a potential playmaker. Fernando Mendoza looked impressive in his preseason debut, while Cam Ward and the Titans offense struggled. What does that mean for Ward, and could Tennessee's struggles impact the fantasy outlook for Carnell Tate? We also look ahead to this weekend, including Malik Willis making his Dolphins debut, whether the Panthers will hold out Jonathon Brooks with Chuba Hubbard dealing with an injury, and plenty more fantasy football storylines to watch as preseason rolls on.
