Cutdown day is less than a week away, and the NFL will conclude the preseason with four games Thursday, 10 Friday and two Saturday. Teams must trim their rosters to 53 players by 6 p.m. ET on Sunday.This past week brought 16 more games and plenty of film on players fighting for roster spots across the league.Welcome back to the preseason stock watch.With training camps and the preseason winding down, we have 10 players to watch heading into Week 3. As noted in the Week 1 version of this exercise, we are looking for top performers who might actually be available, either on the waiver wire after cutdown day or via trade before the deadline.We watched the film to bring you realistic possibilities if your team needs depth at a specific position. You’ll see some familiar names and some new ones. On to the list.Joe Fagnano, QB, Baltimore RavensFagnano, an undrafted free agent out of Connecticut, completed 22 of 28 passes for 224 yards, a touchdown and an interception in his debut for the Ravens in Week 1 of the preseason against the Philadelphia Eagles. He followed that up in Week 2 by completing 15 of 20 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown without a turnover against the Minnesota Vikings. In a morass of middling quarterback play throughout the preseason, Fagnano has stood out. He appears to have a future in the NFL.There were several impressive moments from Fagnano’s performance against the Vikings. He combines a quick release with adequate arm strength. He sees the field well. Fagnano was able to diagnose some of the disguises from Minnesota defensive coordinator Brian Flores, finding soft spots in zone coverages both in the short and intermediate areas of the field. Fagnano also seems unfazed by pressure. Early in the fourth quarter, he completed a pass over the middle into a tight window with a defender in his face. The Ravens have Lamar Jackson as their starter and Tyler Huntley as their backup. If Fagnano is cut, he could see some interest on the waiver wire. He is decidedly better than some of the backup options that played over the weekend.Baltimore Ravens Camp: Doyle's scheme, Jackson's superpower and moreRobert MaysCamden Brown, WR, Dallas CowboysBrown was on last week’s list after a two-touchdown game against the Seattle Seahawks. On Saturday against the Arizona Cardinals, Brown caught two more passes for 77 yards. The bulk of that production came on a 70-yard reception in a scramble drill. The second catch was more impressive. Brown came open on a crossing route against zone coverage. Quarterback Joe Milton III completed to Brown at the numbers. Cardinals safety Wydett Williams Jr. drove on Brown from deep-field alignment. Williams delivered a huge hit. Brown hung on.Later in the second quarter, Brown beat Cardinals cornerback Kei’Trel Clark on a double move on the outside. He was open for a touchdown. Milton, though, was flushed from the pocket, and a late throw to Brown sailed out of bounds.Brown is in a potential roster battle with Cowboys receiver Jonathan Mingo, who had two catches for 62 yards and a touchdown Saturday. Brown could make the roster as Dallas’ sixth receiver. He could beat out Mingo for the fifth spot. Brown would be an attractive waiver option if he gets cut.Ricky Barber, DL, Washington CommandersBarber signed with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent out of Western Kentucky in 2025. He was waived on cutdown day last August and spent last season on the Commanders’ practice squad. Barber flashed repeatedly in the Commanders’ loss to the Detroit Lions on Saturday. Barber is a twitchy penetrator against the run. He shows polished timing with his hands to swipe past approaching run blockers at the line of scrimmage. Barber had a tackle for loss in the third quarter Saturday when he drove Lions center Seth McLaughlin into the backfield.Barber relies more on his motor as a pass rusher. But he is an option for aggressive run defenses in need of a disruptive presence.Albert Reese IV, OT, Carolina PanthersReese signed with the Panthers in the spring as an undrafted free agent out of Mississippi State. If Reese hits waivers, he could be one of the best tackle options available. Reese has played exclusively right tackle through the preseason. He is a physical mauler in the running game, and he also has the necessary athleticism to block on the move and reach-block on lateral runs. Reese shows light feet in pass protection. He has the disciplined eyes to corral rushers who enter his frame late in downs, including when interior defensive linemen bounce to the outside. His upper body strength shows up when he latches onto defenders. Reese has put some quality play on tape.Solomon Byrd, edge, Houston TexansThe Texans drafted Byrd in the seventh round in 2024. He missed out on the 53-man roster in each of his first two training camps, spending most of the past two seasons on the Houston practice squad. Byrd has jumped out on film through the Texans’ first two preseason games this season. In Thursday’s loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, Byrd had a dominant rep in the running game in the first quarter for a tackle for loss. He helped create pressure late in the second quarter when he wrecked the Las Vegas front on a stunt. In the third quarter, Byrd threw a spin move off the edge for a quick pressure on third down. Byrd is undersized, but he still impacts games both as a run defender and pass rusher.The Texans signed Jadeveon Clowney to join Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter in their edge rusher room. They also signed Dominique Robinson in March. Byrd might have a path to the 53-man roster after edge rusher Dylan Horton reportedly suffered a torn Achilles in practice Monday.Will Putnam, C, Las Vegas RaidersPutnam joined the Raiders as an undrafted free agent out of Clemson in 2024. He missed the cut as a rookie but made the 53-man roster last year. Putnam made two starts at center for the Raiders in 2025. He is putting together a solid preseason. Against the Texans last week, Putnam showed the awareness in pass protection to identify and handle stunts on the interior. On one rep in the third quarter, he reset his anchor in a one-on-one situation against second-round pick Kayden McDonald. That gave quarterback Aidan O’Connell a clean pocket to complete a 10-yard pass. In the fourth quarter, he had a pancake block on a screen pass. Putnam is a better pass protector than run blocker.The Raiders are flush with center depth with Tyler Linderbaum, Jackson Powers-Johnson and Jordan Meredith. Putnam could be available on the waiver wire or via trade.Will Putnam’s starting experience could make him an intriguing option for other teams.

Chambers is comfortable in both man and zone. He has a great feel for how to take away throwing lanes as an underneath defender in zone. Young linebackers can sometimes over-pursue and take the bait against play action. Chambers remains calm and sound against these looks. He has been one of the most consistent UDFA performers this preseason.Nate Lynn, edge, New York JetsLynn had two sacks in the Jets’ shutout win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday, including one on an inside spin move in the fourth quarter. But that was just part of the performance that landed Lynn on the list for this week. Lynn had perhaps the special teams coverage play of the week in the fourth quarter, blowing up tight end Lake McRee on a kickoff before making the tackle. Edge rushers toward the bottom of the depth chart on a 53-man roster have to be capable on special teams. Lynn showed some promise in this phase, on top of his pass-rush breakout.Kapena Gushiken, DB, Philadelphia EaglesGushiken made the list last week, and he is stacking preseason performances now. In Week 1, the Eagles moved Gushiken to multiple positions, including nickel and safety. In Week 2 against the New England Patriots, Gushiken played exclusively at nickel. He had a run stuff from that nickel spot in the first quarter, flying unblocked off the edge. Gushiken continued to prove comfortable in zone coverage. He is a name to watch for any team in need of defensive back help at nickel or safety.Doneiko Slaughter, CB, Pittsburgh SteelersSlaughter had another strong showing against the Jets on Friday. He had a tackle for loss in the first quarter against the run, beating New York receiver Isaiah Williams off the ball. On the next play, a third down, Slaughter played sticky coverage on a Williams out route to force an incompletion. He can play both outside and at nickel. Slaughter makes the list for the second straight week. He is a cornerback to watch come cutdown day.
