Preseason Week 1 Takeaways
Here are a few position-by-position fantasy takeaways from the first week of exhibition games:
Tight Ends
- It’s probably a good idea to drop Greg Dulcich in your TE rankings. He played behind Adam Trautman, who played for new Broncos head coach Sean Payton in New Orleans, and Dulcich was only used in two-TE sets and in obvious passing downs.
- Packers rookie TE Luke Musgrave played every snap with the Green Bay starters and was targeted on three of his 12 snaps. He only had a single catch for 8 yards, but Jordan Love overthrew a wide-open Musgrave for what should have been a nice gain. A second-round draft pick, Musgrave seems to be well ahead of third-round rookie Tucker Kraft on the Packers’ depth chart.
