Rookie WR Stribling, RB Washington Shine in Preseason
14 Aug
Summary
- De'Zhaun Stribling caught seven passes on eight targets in his debut.
- Mike Washington Jr. had a 53-yard run and 63 rushing yards.
- Both rookies are considered fantasy options for deeper leagues.
Rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling of the San Francisco 49ers made a strong preseason debut, hauling in seven receptions from eight targets in the first half of the game against the Tennessee Titans. His performance highlighted a developing connection with third-string quarterback Kurtis Rourke.
Meanwhile, Las Vegas Raiders running back Mike Washington Jr. also demonstrated his talent with a significant 53-yard dash, finishing the game with 63 rushing yards on six carries. His agility and burst were evident, suggesting he warrants consideration.
Despite facing depth chart challenges with established players like Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey ahead of Stribling, and Ashton Jeanty for Washington Jr., potential injuries to veterans could open opportunities. Both rookies displayed the capabilities that make them worth considering for deeper fantasy football leagues.
