Kaleb Johnson News
Thursday, August 13, 7:51 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson handled just two carries for three yards in Thursday night's preseason win over the Green Bay Packers. Johnson, a third-round pick in last year's NFL Draft, doesn't appear to have won over Pittsburgh's new coaching staff just yet, as he didn't enter the contest until late in the third quarter. Although he was listed as the team's RB3 on the updated depth chart released earlier this week, Johnson played behind veterans Travis Homer and Lew Nichols and was out-touched by rookie running back Eli Heidenreich in the second half. Johnson could see an uptick in opportunities as the preseason continues, but it's becoming increasingly unlikely that he will have a meaningful role in the offense this season behind Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle. While he remains worth stashing in deeper dynasty formats, Johnson is off the fantasy radar for redraft purposes.

Jacardia Wright News
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.
