Welcome to gameday on Saturday. Yeah, it seems kind of like something for the NCAA, but in preseason, the NFL puts these games on round the clock to get ratings.
The San Francisco 49ers face the Houston Texans in a second game where there’s going to not much to watch besides A: Jimmy Garoppolo and B: Reuben Foster.
And for me, I just need the 49ers to win to help my draft positioning. In my fantasy league, draft positioning is decided by how many correct preseason picks you can make. Yours truly is not having a good time with his preseason picks. I’m probably going to be last drafting. Not a good start to my fantasy season.
But I have a good start to your morning with some links.
