Welcome everyone to the SCORE fantasy football podcast.

I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at the score.

Appreciate hanging out with us today as we finish off my preseason takeaway series. Every year, I do an article after each week of preseason games.

Just let you know what I'm noticing out there.

This year, they've gotten a little bit shorter, and I talked about this last week.

Most teams just aren't playing their starters in the preseason now. And a lot of even the important backups, they're getting rested too. So we haven't really had as much to pull from these games this year, but there's always a few items that I think are worth keeping in mind either for fantasy drafts right now or potentially for later in the season when we start to get some of these backups, some of these third stringers when they get out there on the field, injuries hit their depth charts. Now you got these guys that you're actually picking them up off the waiver wire and you want to know what they're all about. Watching these preseason games can give you a head start there and let you know what kind of players they are and what they could potentially be capable of when they get onto the field so regardless I am going to

keep it brief today my full preseason week three takeaways article that is up at

the score it's also in the score fantasy football draft kit which is still being

updated daily gonna have another round of updates after cut down day on Tuesday

we'll see where the chips

land once rosters get down to 53 should have some movement especially with some of the veteran

running backs who could get released or maybe we see some trades possibly happen and i'll keep updating

the draft kit all the way into next week because i know a lot of people are going to have their

drafts this weekend a lot of people have their drafts next week before the Thursday night opener kicks off. So we'll have that all updated for you. Do not worry at all. Now, like I said off the top, let's go over what you need to know from this weekend's preseason action. There isn't really that much earth shattering, but there's a few things that I think you should make a mental note of that starts with the rookie running backs and it's not necessarily like the obvious guys that we're

going to talk about here because you think about this draft class wasn't the best group of

running backs coming out didn't help that the guy at the top jonathan brooks the best talent by far

this bunch he's still working his way back from an ACL tear

so we might not see him for first few weeks or even the first month and then you have

other guys like Blake Corum and Trey Benson and Braylin Allen they've already

secured the number two jobs in their backfield so they got this week off teams are

just being so cautious about playing even these backup running backs.

And I get it.
