Colt McCoy Will Start Against Patriots
5 years agoThe Washington Redskins will start quarterback Colt McCoy in Week 5 against the Patriots. Case Keenum was benched in Week 4 and rookie Dwayne Haskins came in to throw three more interceptions, so head coach Jay Gruden went with the QB most familiar with his offense. McCoy draws an extremely tough matchup in the New England defense and is a last-gasp QB2 this weekend. You shouldn't really trust any of Washington's pass-catchers, including an injured Terry McLaurin (hamstring), in this matchup. The Pats are allowing the fewest fantasy points per week (13.0) to opposing signal-callers and have yet to give up a passing touchdown this year.
