Chris Thompson Not A Safe Week 17 Play

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson has not been operating in the pass-catching role that once made him a valuable fantasy play in PPR formats, and now he's run out of time for the 2019 season. Thompson has seen just 17 targets in four games since returning from injury in the first week of December, […]

Adrian Peterson A Volume-Based Fantasy Play

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson will look to close out the 2019 season on a high note against the Cowboys in Week 17. The veteran has scored a touchdown in four straight games, and has routinely seen a touch count well into double digits when he's been the lead running back for the Redskins. […]

Steven Sims Jr. Could See Increased Role

Washington Redskins wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. has stepped up in a big way over the last two weeks, racking up 11 catches for 109 yards and three touchdowns. In Week 17 he will have a slight upgrade at quarterback in Case Keenum, and he might wind up as Washington's top receiving option if Terry […]

Case Keenum Not A Safe Option In Finale

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum may be able to lift the fantasy profiles of a couple of his pass-catchers on Sunday, but he's far from a shoe-in to help fantasy owners in the same way. No one really knows which Cowboys team is going to show up in any given week, but they do have […]

Terry McLaurin Has Solid PPR Day

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin was targeted nine times in Sunday's game against the Giants. He caught seven of them for 86 yards, but was held out of the endzone in a game that otherwise featured a ton of scoring. McLaurin remains the primary receiving option in this offense, and that is not influenced […]

Steven Sims Jr. Scores Twice In Overtime Shootout

Washington Redskins wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. hauled in six of a team-high 10 targets in Sunday's loss to the Giants. Two of Sims' six receptions went for touchdowns, and he caught one from each of the two quarterbacks the Redskins utilized on Sunday. Sims is becoming difficult to ignore after catching 11 of 21 […]

Adrian Peterson Bailed Out By Late Touchdown

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson turned in his least-lucrative fantasy outing in several weeks on Sunday, accumulating just 36 rushing yards on 15 carries. Luckily, Peterson found the end zone in the fourth quarter to keep from totally torpedoing the championship hopes of his fantasy owners. Week 16 marked Peterson's fourth straight game with […]

Case Keenum Plays Well In Relief Effort

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum was called on to fill in for the injured Dwayne Haskins in Sunday's overtime shootout against the Giants. The veteran completed 16 of 22 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown, adding a game-tying rushing touchdown in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter for good measure. Keenum's status as […]

Redskins Defense Risky With A Chance Of Turnovers

The Washington Redskins Defense has proven effective in forcing turnovers, and on Sunday they'll face a Giants offense that has committed turnovers on a league-high 19.5% of offensive possessions. Giants QB Daniel Jones in particular is responsible for an alarming number of these giveaways, and he's back under center this week. The Redskins are also […]

Terry McLaurin With Heaps Of Upside For Week 16

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin will square up against a Giants secondary that has been regularly dismantled by his position. New York has allowed the fourth-most receiving yards and the third-most receiving touchdowns to wideouts. McLaurin's fantasy profile regrettably comes with a wide array of potential outcomes based on the offense he's stuck in, […]

Chris Thompson Not Worth The Risk

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson has been back on the field for three weeks, with no discernible rhyme or reason to his usage rate in this span. He was targeted eight times in a Week 14 loss to the Packers, but that game is sandwiched in between two performances in which he might as […]

Adrian Peterson A Volume-Based Flex Option

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson may not be the 25-carry, 150-yard workhorse he used to be, but he gets the job done. Peterson has racked up at least 66 yards on the ground in every game this season in which he's seen at least 13 carries. He's also scored a touchdown in each of […]

Dwayne Haskins Not In Play For Week 16

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins has arguably the most favorable matchup of his young career on the docket in a home bout with the Giants this week. The Giants are the seventh-worst defense in the NFL in terms of passing yards allowed and touchdown rate on opposing pass attempts. Unfortunately, Haskins hasn't given fantasy owners […]

Redskins Defense Knocked Around By Eagles

The Washington Redskins Defense ended a three-game streak of playing admirably in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Carson Wentz launched three touchdowns through the air, while Miles Sanders racked up 172 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns of his own. The Redskins didn't help their bottom line with turnovers and sacks the way they have […]

Kelvin Harmon A Non-Factor Again

Washington Redskins wide receiver Kelvin Harmon was largely absent from his team's offensive attack for the second week in a row on Sunday. Harmon caught two passes on three targets and accumulated just 22 total yards in a loss to the Eagles. This is a discouraging trend for Harmon after he appeared to be carving […]

Steven Sims Jr. Targeted 11 Times In Loss

Washington Redskins wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. saw a surprising 11 targets in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, converting them into five catches for 45 yards and a score. This is Sims' second straight game with a noticeably increased role in the Redskins passing game, so this might not be a flash in the pan. […]

Terry McLaurin Rewards Fantasy Faith In Week 15

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin hauled in all five of the passes thrown his way on Sunday, producing 130 yards and a touchdown. McLaurin's two best fantasy outings of the year have now both come against the Eagles, so Philly is likely happy to be finished with him until 2020. The Redskins' number-one receiver […]

Chris Thompson Disappears In Loss To Eagles

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson was sparingly involved in his team's passing attack on Sunday, seeing just three targets and catching two of them. This was disappointing on a number of fronts, starting with the fact that Thompson had led the Redskins in targets and receptions a week ago. Sunday's game was precisely the […]

Adrian Peterson Produces Start-Worthy Value

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson overcame a difficult matchup en route to a respectable fantasy outing on Sunday against the Eagles. Peterson racked up 66 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, adding another 25 yards on three receptions. The veteran running back has reached the level of dependability at which he can usually […]

Dwayne Haskins Plays Best Game Of Young Career

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins completed 19 of 28 throws for 261 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. For the first time in more than a month, Haskins completed over 60% of his passes. Sunday also marked a career-high for passing yards and was the second time the rookie threw multiple […]

Redskins Defense A Shaky Option For Week 15

The Washington Redskins Defense has played well enough to win two of its last three games, and kept the third respectable in a tough road matchup with the Packers last week. Up next is an Eagles offense that has struggled at times to score points, and whose depth at WR will be tested with Alshon […]

Kelvin Harmon A High-Risk Long Shot For Week 15

Washington Redskins wide receiver Kelvin Harmon could benefit from a tough Eagles run defense on Sunday. While Washington clearly prefers to run the ball and limit what is asked of Dwayne Haskins through the air, the Redskins may not be able to get away with that game plan against a Philly defense holding opposing running […]

Terry McLaurin A Flex Option For Week 15

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin's Week 15 opponent is an Eagles Defense that has allowed opposing wideouts to average 14.75 yards per reception. Philly has also surrendered 18 touchdowns to the position, which is tied for the fourth-highest total in the league. As always, McLaurin's fantasy profile is limited by suspect quarterback play and […]

Chris Thompson A Risky Option With PPR Upside

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson's fantasy value for Week 15 is likely to hinge on whether or not Adrian Peterson is able to get anything going on the ground against the Eagles. Philly is one of the least friendly fantasy defenses for running backs, which lends itself to the idea that Peterson may struggle. […]

Adrian Peterson Facing Uphill Battle Against Philly

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson is once again in the driver's seat for his team's rushing workload. He performed admirably on increased touches last week when Derrius Guice went down with injury, and produced a quality fantasy line two weeks ago when the two RBs were splitting the work evenly. Those outings came against […]

Dwayne Haskins Not A Viable Option For Week 15

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins could be forced into action a little more this Sunday than he has been in recent weeks. His team has enjoyed a string of matchups against defenses susceptible to the run, allowing the Redskins to rely primarily on their backfield of late. The Eagles present a different kind of obstacle, […]

Derrius Guice Placed On Injured Reserve

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice will not play again this season after being placed on IR with an MCL sprain. Both Guice's real-life team and fantasy owners have to be starting to wonder just how many serious knee injuries one player can withstand. After missing the entire 2018 season with a torn ACL and […]

Redskins Defense Bulldozed By Packers Rushing Attack

The Washington Redskins Defense played well enough to hold the Packers to 20 points on Sunday, but the bigger story is that they straight-up could not stop Aaron Jones on the ground. Jones rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, and added six receptions for 58 yards. Jones' big day on the […]

Kelvin Harmon Held In Check By Packers

Washington Redskins wide receiver Kelvin Harmon couldn't get anything going in a road loss to the Packers on Sunday. After three straight games of emerging as a preferred option for Dwayne Haskins, Harmon caught just one of four targets at Lambeau. He took the lone reception for 30 yards, but this game has to be […]
