3 years agoWashington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke will start in Week 2 against the New York Giants after news came out that Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) would miss significant time. The 28-year old threw for 122 yards and a touchdown while adding three carries for 17 yards after taking over for Fitzpatrick in Week 1. Going into Week 2, Heinicke should only be rostered in deeper leagues, and even then he should be treated as a QB2. The dual-threat could be an interesting option in two-QB leagues because of his potential higher floor due to his rushing ability. The Washington defense likely won't give up a ton of points, so the positive rushing game script could limit his passing volume.--Tommy Adamopoulos - RotoBaller
