The first week of preseason is drawing to a conclusion. Can you feel the excitement? We are that much closer to the start of fantasy football season. There are two games to keep track of while you gather the family for Summer Slam on Sunday.

There has been a feeling that WR Malcolm Floyd was going to be the guy to step up during Vincent Jackson‘s absence in San Diego. But Legedu Naanee saw three targets very early for the Chargers, including a 28-yard touchdown pass on a nice throw by Rivers.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers near-perfect outing against the Browns. Is there any doubt that he is the best fantasy quarterback?

WR Andre Johnson needs to be taken off your fantasy football draft board. He is never going to see the field again!

One of the biggest loses in the fallen era of multi-use stadiums is the lack of mud during rain games. There was no such shortage of mud for the Dolphins and Buccaneers on Saturday.

Do not have a fantasy football draft in August. Or at least until after the third preseason game at the very earliest. Forgive me if I attempt to beat you over the head with his notion for the rest of the summer, but I feel pretty strongly about this.

Maybe the Bills knew what they were doing when they took C.J. Spiller with the ninth overall selection in the 2010 NFL Draft. The crowded Bills backfield thinned out on Friday night as Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch left the game with injuries.

This is the first Saturday in a long time that had some football. Who else is ready for this?
