Redskins Defense Faces Tough Road Test In Week 1
5 years agoThe Washington Redskins Defense will have to deal with Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1. They'll look to get off to a good start at repeating a 2018 campaign in which they forced a turnover on 14.6% of opposing offensive possessions, the sixth-highest mark in the NFL. The Redskins also recorded 46 sacks, which was good for the seventh-highest total in the league last season. With most of their defensive core still in place this year, the Redskins defense has a high enough floor to warrant consideration in fantasy on a weekly basis. That said, a road matchup with Philly isn't an ideal one to start with. Fantasy owners who are rolling with this unit in Week 1 should temper expectations.
