Broncos | Jamaal Charles will play plenty
Denver Broncos RB Jamaal Charles (knee) will see a lot of playing time in Week 3 of the preseason, according to head coach Vance Joseph.
Broncos | Trevor Siemian more consistent
Denver Broncos QB Trevor Siemian was more consistent in his ball placement and decision making than fellow QB Paxton Lynch, according to head coach Vance Joseph. Those qualities are what won Siemian the starting job.
Footballguys View: That’s what Siemian is. He’s consistent with his decisions and his pass placement has been better this year. In 2016, Siemian had the second-most off-target passes per Pro Football Focus. Joseph also said Siemian would be more aggressive this year based on the Mike McCoy system.
Jets | Matt Forte in question for Week 1?
New York Jets RB Matt Forte (hamstring) is not guaranteed to be healthy enough to play by Week 1, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
Footballguys View: Bilal Powell is the top back for the Jets, but Forte will get plenty of work in their RBBC. From a fantasy standpoint, Forte should only be considered a RB4 in 2017.
