Green Bay Packers @ Denver Broncos

Broncos change running route: Denver has been putting players in different positions this week, suggesting the back line is not settled yet.

Last week, the Broncos used running backs in situations that are familiar to every player. Javonte Williams He started and took most of the shots in the first two engines, with Samaji Perrin Perrin continued to take third kicks when the substitutes came on and then played in training for two minutes. Perrin never got a chance to play in normal early situations. Jalil McLaughlin and Audric Esteem He was rotated as a substitute, with McLaughlin playing once at third-and-eleven.

Williams started playing again this week, with McLaughlin coming on a few plays later. The two went on to play on the first two attempts, with McLaughlin playing third-and-9 and on the goal line. McLaughlin ended up playing more snaps, meaning Williams left the game first.

Perine started on a normal 10-yard attempt on the third attempt, with Esteem contributing the catch. Perine continued to play in the third quarter. Many speculated that Perine could be cut from the team. After the first play, that seemed unlikely, as Perine was doing all the usual passing work. Now that the Broncos are more willing to give McLaughlin opportunities in such situations, it seems likely that Perine will not be on the team.

If this backline is a two-player rotation between Williams and McLaughlin, both represent significant value at their ADPs. There is still a chance for Esteem to play, but he hasn’t gotten those opportunities yet.

The Broncos’ top three wide receivers are: The Broncos’ wide receiver rotation was very similar to last week.

Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick They were among Denver’s key receivers last week, with Josh Reynolds Joining him in three-player groups. This was somewhat surprising, given that the Broncos spent early draft picks on Marvin Mims Jr. and Troy Franklin In recent seasons, it has seemed like the Broncos have been playing with more veterans than Garrett Steedheim And more of their younger players with Bo Nix Later in the game.

The Knicks were the starters this week, and the receiving rotation remained the same. There was no clear fourth receiving, with Lil Jordan Humphrey, David Sales Memes play all of them in the first two attempts. It is worth noting that Devon Feely He also appears to have been in the group among the reserve receivers, but He was not in uniform. For this match, it is unclear why he was absent.

Sutton remains a good value in ADP, while Patrick’s rating is expected to rise now that he’s clearly the starter.

The Packers can keep four players at the running back position: Emmanuel Wilson He was taken out of the game before the other Packers players.

Wilson served as the Packers’ wide receiver last season, stepping in whenever one of their top running backs was injured. He had a great performance last week, carrying the ball 13 times for 67 yards and a score. That led to Some suggestions Wilson is expected to be on the roster and get a chance to play on offense this season.

The Packers rested their top three running backs, leaving Wilson as the starter for this game. He didn’t put up the same numbers this week as the Packers’ backups faced off against the Broncos’ starters, but he was a focal point of the offense, running eight times and catching a pass throughout the first half. He’ll likely only make the roster if a running back is injured or if the team is worried that another team will sign him to its active roster, meaning he can’t join the practice squad.

Miscellaneous notes

• Lucas Kroll He got more work with the Broncos’ starting lineups this week, which means that Greg Dolcic played fewer shotsThis seems to be a three-man rotation that should be completely avoided in all formats.

• The Packers It was announced before the match. The following players will not play: Midfielder Jordan loveback back Josh Jacobs, A.J. Dillon, marshawn lloyd and Jarvion HowardS, wide receivers Christian Watson, Romeo Dobbs, Jayden Reid and Dontaifion wicks and a tight end Luke Musgrave and Tucker Craft.

• Samurai Toure He’s been one of the Packers’ best backups in recent years, but he wasn’t among the top three players in this game, which puts him eighth on the depth list. He seems unlikely to make the roster at this point.

New Orleans Saints @ San Francisco 49ers

Taysom Hill Shines with the Saints Attack: Hill played 14 of a possible 22 snaps, being all over the field.

Hill has played six games at tight end, four games at linebacker, four games at quarterback and one game at receiver. Last week, Hill did not play at quarterback at all, but he did play outside receiver. While the Saints are missing some of their best skill players, it seems clear that Hill will be a key part of their offense.

Hill finished last season as the 12th-ranked offensive midfielder. The previous year, he finished as the 9th-ranked offensive midfielder. At first, it seemed like a bit of a risk with the new offensive coordinator, but if anything, the new staff seems more willing to use Hill in the offense. He’s one of the best options you can pick if you’re looking for a backup offensive midfielder or have waited too long before drafting an offensive midfielder, assuming he’s qualified to play as an offensive midfielder in the spot you choose.

Ronnie Bell and Danny Gray Are in the menu bubble: Bell was the WR5 on the Niners’ depth chart last season, but he may not make the 53-man roster this season.

The 49ers haven’t had their top four offensive linemen the past two weeks. In the first preseason game, Bell was a starter with Chris ConleyWith Trent Taylor as the third receiver. Fourth-round rookie Jacob Cowing He did not play in that game, but did this week, replacing Bell in the starting lineup. Bell made his first appearance in the second quarter when the other players started this game (including Brooke Birdie) Bell was out of the game. That suggests he’s eighth on the depth list at best, which puts him out of the running backs.

Gray was a third-round pick in 2022 but has only had one reception in his career. He did not play last week and had his first reception after Bell is in this game, which suggests he’s ninth in the draft order. So, it looks like his time with the 49ers’ active roster is coming to an end as well.

Miscellaneous notes

• Saints tight end Joan Johnson It is still on the PUP list.

• Back Alvin Camara and Kendry Millerbroad future Rashid Shaheed and a tight end Dalin Holker Among the players who were Didn’t fit For pre-match warm-ups.

• Cedric Wilson Jr. The vast future was on the other side. Chris Olaf He was a key player for the team last week and that continued in this game. We can expect him to play that role in the starting 11 this season and play a part in every game as long as Shahid is out.

• The 49ers rested their running backs. Christian McCaffrey and Kyle Joszekbroad futures Debo Samuel and Joan Jennings and a tight end George Kettle.

• running back Jordan Mason He also didn’t play, because he was dealing with Minor injury. Elijah Mitchell, Isaac Gerindo, Patrick Taylor Jr. and a wide range future beginner Ricky Pearsall We are Dealing with injuries too.

• broad future Brandon Eyock It is still holding up, with no major updates on whether it will return or be traded.
