Three preseason games in store for tonight. I'll have fantasy thoughts on all 3 late tonight or tomorrow. Here's a few things I'll be watching.
Carolina-Cincinnati
If Andy Dalton doesn't look any better in the Bengals 3rd preseason game then they seriously have to consider going with Bruce Gradkowski to start the season.
Certainly watching Cam Newton as well. As long as he avoids injury tonight and in the 4th preseason game, then he's the week 1 starter. More importantly though, can he get in a rythm with guys like Steve Smith and Greg Olsen.
Cleveland-Philadelphia
I'll go out on a limb and say that Vick plays a little better against Cleveland D than he did against Pitt D (crazy right lol). Whatever tonights outcome, I think he's still going a little high in most fantasy drafts.
Browns have a number of guys I have late round interest in. Colt McCoy has been fantastic so far in the preseason. We usually see the starters the longest in the 3rd preseason game, so we should see quite a bit of McCoy against that highly publicized Eagles secondary. Also watching Greg Little, who sounds like the real deal, and running back Montario Hardesty. Right now Little's definitely worth a late round flier. Hardesty was on many sleeper lists so we'll see what he can do.
Watch the Browns TE's as well for possible midseason pickups. Ben Watson was a favorite of McCoys last year and Evan Moore reminds many of Jermichael Finley.
Washington-Baltimore
Looks the Redskins will start John Beck but we should see plenty of Rex Grossman as well. Both guys have looked good in the preseason but it sounds like the staff really wants Beck under center week 1.
Ryan Torain's still out which should give Roy Helu the chance to backup Tim Hightower early in the season. Keeping an eye on him tonight.
Like what I saw between Joe Flacco and Lee Evans last week against the Chiefs. A similar performance tonight and Evans becomes a legit WR3.
