Jacob Saylors Leads Lions' Rushing Attack on Thursday

Friday, August 14, 7:07 AM

Detroit Lions running back Jacob Saylors led his team's ground attack in preseason action against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night, rushing for 55 yards on eight carries while also logging three catches for 28 yards on five targets. Saylors appeared in 16 games for the Lions in 2025, but his impact mostly came on special teams, as he recorded just two carries for 11 yards. Entering 2026, Detroit has running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and Isiah Pacheco locked in at the top of their depth chart. However, Saylors could be leading the team's RB3 competition, which also features Sione Vaki (nose), Kye Robichaux, and Raheem Blackshear. As long as Gibbs and Pacheco are healthy, Saylors is highly unlikely to play a fantasy-relevant role in Detroit. Still, he could be a name to know in deeper leagues in case one of the two top Lions backs suffers an injury.

Jacardia Wright Makes a Splash in Preseason Week 3

Saturday, August 23, 9:02 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Jacardia Wright recorded five carries for 65 yards in preseason Week 3. Wright recorded a long run of 61 yards. Wright is an undrafted rookie who is fighting to make the team. Even if he does make the team, he is likely to primarily contribute as a special teams player. Still, Wright flashed a break-away ability that is often sought after in NFL circles. His play on Saturday could have secured a spot on the roster. Wright is not of fantasy interest, but it is nice to know that the Seahawks could have a solid running back depth chart this coming season with George Holani and Damien Martinez impressing throughout various parts of the preseason.
