Preaseason Games 8/15

Players to Watch
Cleveland Browns vs. Green Bay Packers
Jerome Harrison-Jamal Lewis is an old 30. Through injuries, wear and tear, 6 months in federal prison, J-Lew's days as a full-time back are numbered. The problem for Harrison is the Browns have this distinct ability to completely disregard talent when building a football team. Harrison has proven that he can make plays in the NFL, but the Browns insist on burying him on depth chart. They drafted James Davis who may be the heir-apparent to Lewis; but Harrison has big play potential for a team that will sorely need big plays next season. Hopefully, Mangenious will notice his big-play ability, ala, Leon Washington, but; he is coaching the Browns.

The rumors are swirling that the Derek Anderson/Brady Quinn race is deadlocked. The belief here is that it's Quinn's job to lose. If either can set a rapport with Braylon Edwards, it would give us one reason to watch a Browns game.

Houston Texans vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Dwayne Bowe-What is going on in KC? For a team that lacks weapons for Matt Cassell, why is Bowe playing with the 2nd stringers. We love Bowe here (re-read our Top 10 Fantasy WR keeper ranks), he's way too talented for this to be any true concern. Cassell is going to love throwing it to Bowe, he's got the size, hands, and leaping ability. Fitzgerald and Boldin led all NFL WRs in red-zone targets, and guess who was calling the plays? Todd Haley; New Head Coach of the Chiefs.
