Washington Commanders wide receiver
Chris Moore has played more than expected this season, but hasn't drawn a target in each of the last three games. After earning at least one target in his first six games played this season, Moore's role in the offense has been decreasing despite the onslaught of injuries to Washington's wide receivers. The veteran ran just 19.2% of the team's routes in their Week 10 loss to the Lions, his lowest since all the way back in Week 1. With
Treylon Burks (finger) ruled out for Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins, Moore could see his routes tick back up, but he hasn't shown enough production to be in any lineups.

Washington Commanders tight end
Ben Sinnott (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Miami Dolphins. The 23-year-old popped up on the injury report as a limited participant on Thursday, and he was a non-participant on Friday. Sinnott, a second-year tight end, has caught all three of his targets for 33 yards and a touchdown this season. He has been firmly entrenched in a depth role behind
Zach Ertz. The Kansas State product's absence will result in
John Bates backing up Ertz this Sunday.

Washington Commanders wide receiver
Robbie Chosen will be one of the team's primary pass catchers for their Week 11 matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain. Chosen has been brought up from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of gameday multiple times, but was signed to the active roster earlier this week. The 32-year-old has caught five of eight targets for 53 yards in two games played for Washington this season. Chosen still poses as a big-play threat at this point in his career, but he's best left on the waiver wire for Week 11.

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver
Jaylin Lane has been forced into more playing time recently as the team has lost multiple wide receivers to injury. Lane made the most of his lone target last week against the Lions, connecting with
Marcus Mariota on a deep ball for a 41-yard gain. The rookie fourth-rounder has otherwise struggled with drops and consistently creating separation in his opportunities. Lane has recorded 15 catches for 212 yards on 29 targets in 10 games this season, in addition to showing dynamic ability as a punt returner, with a 90-yard touchdown back in Week 3 against the Raiders. Lane only ran 23.1% of the team's routes in Week 10 versus the Lions, but that could tick back up with
Treylon Burks (finger) ruled out for Week 11. Lane has value as a dart throw in deep leagues for Week 11's matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain, which could end up a high-scoring game with how poorly Washington's defense has played.

Washington Commanders wide receiver
Deebo Samuel Sr. hasn't been as productive in recent weeks after a strong first five games of the season. Samuel recorded 30 receptions for 300 yards and three touchdowns along with seven carries for 46 yards and another touchdown over the first five weeks, ranking as the WR7 in total PPR points (88.6). Since then, Samuel has just 16 catches for 96 yards and one touchdown on 22 targets and three carries for three yards in four games, ranking as the WR56 in that span. The veteran wideout should still be in line for a busy day on Sunday against a vulnerable Miami Dolphins defense, with most of Washington's wide receivers banged up. Samuel ranks as RotoBaller's WR20 for the first-ever NFL game in Madrid, Spain.

Washington Commanders running back
Jeremy McNichols hasn't been a relevant fantasy option in most leagues this season, serving as the team's third-down back. McNichols handled a season-high five carries for 25 yards in Washington's blowout loss last week to the Detroit Lions. The 25 yards were his most in a game since his Week 3 performance against the Raiders, where he rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown on four carries. The 29-year-old isn't involved enough to be considered outside of the deepest leagues.

Washington Commanders rookie running back
Jacory Croskey-Merritt has lost hold of the lead-back duties with
Chris Rodriguez Jr. taking over in Week 10 against the Lions. Croskey-Merrit wound up leading Washington with 11 carries for 30 yards in the game, but that was due to Rodriguez leaving the game early with a shoulder injury. Rodriguez played 68% of the snaps to Croskey-Merritt's 16% in the first half and is off the injury report heading into Sunday. The past five games have been disappointing for the rookie seventh-rounder and ultimately led to the coaching staff going in a different direction with Rodriguez, who has done a better job of taking what is blocked. Croskey-Merritt should still be involved on some early downs, but he's best left on the bench for Washington's Week 11 matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain.

Washington Commanders running back
Chris Rodriguez Jr. (shoulder) is off the injury report and is good to go for Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain. Rodriguez was a full participant in practice every day this week, and he should be in line to lead Washington's backfield in carries on Sunday. The 25-year-old played 17 of the team's 25 snaps, handled six of the 10 running back carries, and ran seven routes on 13 dropbacks in the first half before leaving with the injury. Rodriguez has scored touchdowns in three of the past four weeks and is the much better fit as the short-yardage back for Washington due to his physical running style and ability to fight through contact. Rookie
Jacory Croskey-Merritt played only four snaps and had two carries in the first half, but then played the majority of the snaps in the second half with Rodriguez out. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said Rodriguez "has played at a high level" when given the opportunity and has upside in a positive matchup against the Dolphins, who have allowed 4.9 yards per carry and the ninth most PPR points per game to opposing running backs. Rodriguez is a better play in standard and half PPR formats due to his limited receiving upside, checking in as RotoBaller's RB32 in half PPR for Week 11.

Washington Commanders quarterback
Marcus Mariota has value as a potential streamer going up against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain, in Week 11. Mariota was solid on low passing volume in Washington's Week 10 loss to the Lions, completing 16 of 22 passes for 213 yards and two touchdowns while adding five rushes for 22 yards on the ground. The veteran finished as QB12 for the week with 18.7 fantasy points and should be in line for another productive game against a leaky Miami defense. Mariota will be without most of Washington's expected core of wide receivers, including
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and
Luke McCaffrey (shoulder), and the recently signed
Treylon Burks (finger) has also been ruled out. The 32-year-old Mariota is a viable streamer in a matchup that could wind up being a shootout with how poor Washington's defense has been lately.

Washington Commanders tight end
Ben Sinnott (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 11 matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid. Sinnott was added to the injury report on Thursday with an ankle injury and is listed as a non-participant in practice on Friday. The 23-year-old has played a minimal role in Washington's passing game this season, recording three catches for 33 yards and a touchdown on three targets across 10 games played. Still, a potential absence for Sinnott in Week 11 could lead to more opportunities for Commanders TE1
Zach Ertz. Ertz has hauled in 35 catches for 345 yards and four touchdowns so far in 2025 and profiles as a fringe top-12 fantasy tight end in Week 11 against Miami.

Washington Commanders rookie running back
Jacory Croskey-Merritt entered Week 10 against the Detroit Lions as the second back to receive touches behind
Chris Rodriguez Jr. Although Croskey-Merritt finished the game with 11 carries and played 44 percent of the snaps, prior to Rodriguez leaving the game early due to a shoulder injury, Rodriguez had played 72% of the snaps in the first half, compared to Croskey-Merritt's 16%. As a result of the injury to Rodriguez and the game being out of hand, Croskey-Merritt ended up playing 65.4% of snaps in the second half. This is perhaps why some fantasy managers may believe Croskey-Merritt is still the lead-back. It may continue to be a backfield split moving forward; however, at this time, Rodriguez practiced all week and is expected to play Sunday, and is in line to have lead-back duties. As a result, this makes Croskey-Merritt someone who can't be trusted heading into Week 11. The Commanders play the Miami Dolphins in Spain on Sunday, which should set up to be a strong matchup on paper for him, Rodriguez, making him an RB3/flex option in Week 11.

Washington Commanders tight end
Ben Sinnott (ankle) has been added to the Week 11 injury report after he was limited in the team's practice on Thursday, according to John Keim of ESPN. Sinnott was a full participant on Wednesday, so with the downgrade, he might be questionable to play this weekend in Madrid, Spain, against the Miami Dolphins. If the 23-year-old can play this Sunday overseas, he could have an elevated workload with
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps),
Luke McCaffrey (collarbone), and
Treylon Burks (finger) all ruled out. Still, fantasy managers shouldn't be holding their breath at all, as Sinnott has a mere three receptions (three targets) for 31 yards and one touchdown on the year, and he's unlikely to produce much as long as starting TE
Zach Ertz remains healthy.

The Washington Commanders are opening the 21-day practice window for defensive end Drake Jackson (knee), according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The former USC standout tore his patellar tendon while playing for the San Francisco 49ers in 2023 and did not play at all in 2024. The Commanders signed him last month and immediately placed him on injured reserve, though the opening of his practice window suggests he will make his return to the field at some point in 2025. It's too little, too late for Washington, which is 3-7 and currently without starting quarterback
Jayden Daniels (elbow). For fantasy purposes, the Washington D/ST will be avoidable the rest of the way.

Washington Commanders wide receiver
Terry McLaurin (quad) is working on the side of the team's Thursday practice with athletic trainers after missing Wednesday's practice, according to John Keim of ESPN. Despite McLaurin's appearance at practice, the Commanders have already ruled him out for Week 11's game at Miami. The former Ohio State standout will have missed seven games heading into a Week 12 bye, part of a nightmarish year for a Washington team coming off a run to last season's NFC Championship Game. McLaurin has been one of fantasy football's bigger disappointments in 2025, but with a return seemingly likely in Week 13, he could be a welcome addition for managers making a playoff push.

Washington Commanders running back
Chris Rodriguez Jr. (shoulder) will play in Madrid, Spain, on Sunday in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins and will have a key role, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. Rodriguez, who exited the Week 10 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions early with a shoulder injury, put in a full practice on Wednesday and will be good to go this week. Before getting hurt on Sunday, the 25-year-old saw six carries for 16 yards and a touchdown. With rookie
Jacory Croskey-Merritt struggling of late, the Commanders have been giving more work to Rodriguez and
Jeremy McNichols out of the backfield. At the very least, Rodriguez will have some RB3/flex appeal in deeper fantasy leagues this weekend as Washington's preferred goal-line option in a plus matchup versus Miami.
