Open your eyes, NFL preseason player updates

August 22, 2009 by Kurt Turner

Dwayne Bowe TOP 2009 PPR Draft WR Stud

Dwayne Bowe caught three passes for 37 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings Friday night. Bowe is going to post sick numbers this year, LSU baby!

Felix Jones caught two passes for 47 yards and added five rushes for 17 yards and a touchdown against the Titans Friday night. But if you watch the game it's clear that this IS NOT going to be a "bad" platoon for fantasy football. Barber, all systems go!

Tony Romo completed 18-of-24 passes for 192 yards against the Titans in the Cowboys second preseason game. Witten looked great and Williams converted each time they asked him too.

Michael Turner rushed seven times for 65 yards and a touchdown against the Rams in the Falcons second preseason game. Yep..

Matt Ryan completed 7-of-8 passes for 81 yards and a touchdown against the Rams in the Falcons second preseason game. Then again this was the Rams. Whats really funny is Brett Favre finished 1-of-4 for four yards against the Chiefs, doh.

Willie Parker said his main focus during the off-season was working on his hands and getting the third-down job back. Yet his production has dropped each season he has been in the NFL. I think he needs to worry more about keeping the starting job. But wait Rashard Mendenhall rushed nine times for 26 yards against the Cardinals in Thursday's preseason opener while Parker sat out with BACK SPASMS.. rutt row! Guys I recommend you avoid the Steelers RB corp in your draft. They could / should platoon (don't forget they have Mewelde Moore) and Parker is a walking bandage otherwise.

Brandon Marshall did not make the trip to Seattle for the Broncos' Saturday night game.
Marshall practiced all week with the scout team and appears to be back to full health. This looks like a coach's decision, likely related to Marshall's Wednesday outburst against the organization. Josh McDaniels continues to disrespect his diva receiver and feed the fire. Regardless this smells like Randy Moss in Oakland.

Vince Young completed just 3-of-9 passes for 33 yards and an interceptions against the Cowboys Friday night. I'm sorry Tennessee you wasted your time and cash on Young. Make him a TE or something but he just isn't a starting QB.

Chris Henry recorded four catches for 55 yards and a touchdown against the Patriots in the Bengals second preseason game. Does he have your attention yet? Open your eyes.. I'm not wrong about these things.

Okay I know it's early.. or late depending on when you read this. Turn it down, off or up! I don't care just keep reading.

LeSean McCoy rushed five times for just four yards and added three receptions for 31 yards against the Colts in the Eagles second preseason game. The O-Line really struggled, missing 4 of their 5 O-Line starters.

Darren McFadden and Michael Bush are each expected to get a start over the next two weeks. Why do these guys have to be on the same team? I hate platoons.

The New York Daily News calls Domenik Hixon possibly the best receiver in training camp. While Steve Smith is a decent PPR pick, Hixon still has the highest ceiling in standard leagues.

Saints coach Sean Payton revealed that Reggie Bush was limited in Thursday's scrimmage due to a slightly strained calf. Bush, can you please not get hurt this season? I mean it.. no excuses, put out of get out of New Orleans.

Larry Fitzgerald recently restructured his contract to help the Cardinals create extra room under the salary cap. Crabtree take notes here.

Tony Gonzalez admits he is still "uncomfortable" in the Falcons' offense and is doing more blocking than ever before. AKA not a top 5 anymore.
