McAlister's Deli Quick Bites:
-
Geno Smith (owned by jarossabi): Smith had a well-deserved rest as a spectator in this preseason game. With Lock's impressive performance, the Seahawks seem to have a solid backup option in case Smith needs a break during the regular season.
-
Jordan Addison (owned by sillig3): Although he only had one catch, Addison made a spectacular grab along the sideline that should have been ruled complete. Unfortunately, the Vikings chose not to challenge the ruling. Keep an eye on Addison, as he could provide some exciting plays in the future.
-
Ty Chandler (owned by jarossabi): Chandler showcased his versatility with 11 carries for 41 yards and four receptions for 29 yards. He impressed his coach, Kevin O'Connell, who wanted to get him more touches during the game. Chandler could be a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, showing promise in both the running and passing game.
Free Agent Spotlight:
Undrafted rookie wide receiver, Jake Bobo, stole the spotlight with an exceptional performance during training camp and the preseason game. Bobo beat Andrew Booth Jr. off the line of scrimmage and hauled in a crucial pass near the goal line, helping the Seahawks secure the victory. With his impressive play, Bobo might just earn himself a spot on Seattle's roster. Keep an eye on him as a potential free agent pickup.
And that's a wrap for this preseason game! Keep an eye on these players for future fantasy success, and don't forget to grab Jake Bobo if he becomes available in your league. Until next time, happy fantasy footballing!
