Taylor Heinicke To Start, Sam Howell To Play In Week 18
Taylor Heinicke as the starter under center in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, but rookie Sam Howell is also slated to play in the game, marking the NFL debut for the fifth-rounder, according to a source. Per The Washington Post's Nicki Jhabvala, Howell is taking the first repetitions in practice on Wednesday. Carson Wentz got the start in Week 17 and didn't deliver, tossing three interceptions in a loss to the Cleveland Browns. The Commanders have nothing left to play for this year, so they'd like to get a small look at Howell. With both Heinicke and Howell set to play this weekend, neither will be worth looking at in DFS lineups or in season-long leagues.
