Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow looked sharp in the latest preseason action, delivering accurate decisions and flashing the elite anticipation fantasy managers crave, even as a late sack reminded viewers that protection remains a work in progress.

Washington’s rising rookie and Ohio State pass-cieces were highlighted, with emphasis on stash-worthy depth for deep leagues. Chris Godwin’s status and Tampa Bay’s surrounding injuries gave managers a clearer path to pivot options while monitoring Week 1 matchups. The Giants and their rookie chatter added a layered storyline for late-summer fantasy rosters, with a mix of veteran reliability and budding upside.
