Dwayne Haskins Ends Preseason With A Touchdown
Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins threw the team's only touchdown in Thursday's preseason finale, a seven-yard pass to Steven Sims Jr. in the first quarter. Haskins finished his evening with 10 completions on 17 attempts for 104 yards. Haskins rebounded nicely after a preseason opener in which he was picked off twice, throwing two touchdowns... Read More

Draft Strategy: Who You Want vs. Who You Can Live With
I'm a firm believer that the best part of fantasy football is the preparation leading up to draft day. Sure, the season is fun too if your team is good, but we all know what the other end of that spectrum looks like. I've always enjoyed the anticipation--reading articles and listening to podcasts, conducting mock... Read More

Philip Rivers (QB, LAC) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall Current ADP: ~130 For the wait-on-quarterback crowd, Philip Rivers is the embodiment of why it's perfectly fine to be one of the last people in your league to draft a QB. I continue to be amazed by how undervalued he is from year to year. His "worst" season in... Read More
Dwayne Haskins Plays Well Against Falcons
Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins completed seven of 13 passes for 74 yards in Thursday's exhibition against the Falcons. Despite how well Haskins has played this preseason, he's still likely to start the year out as Washington's backup behind Case Keenum. The positive outlook is that Haskins has performed well enough to legitimately give head... Read More
Samaje Perine Scores Washington's Only Touchdown Thursday
Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine carried the ball four times for 16 yards in Thursday's preseason game, with his highlight coming in the form of a three-yard touchdown trot. Perine's teammate and ostensible lone competition for the fourth RB spot, Byron Marshall, racked up only 11 yards on as many carries. Neither Perine nor... Read More
Adrian Peterson Doesn't Play Thursday
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson did not play on Thursday night against the Falcons, ceding the backfield work to Derrius Guice and Chris Thompson instead. Both had positive showings in his absence, especially Guice, who had not played a live game since tearing his ACL in August 2018. There's not much to see here... Read More
Trey Quinn Misses Thursday Night's Game
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn didn't play against the Falcons on Thursday. Per a Redskins.com report, Quinn rested so as not to aggravate a thumb injury he sustained earlier in the preseason. Like teammate Paul Richardson, Quinn has not appeared in either of Washington's last two preseason games. Unlike Richardson, Quinn has PPR intrigue... Read More
Paul Richardson Sits Out Team's Third Preseason Game
Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson did not play on Thursday against the Falcons due to a quadriceps injury, per Redskins.com. Richardson has not been utilized in any of the Redskins three preseason games to this point and with the fourth contest traditionally serving as a last stand for fringe 53-man roster hopefuls, he might... Read More
Jordan Reed Might Have Concussion
Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed exited Thursday's preseason game due to injury, and was subsequently evaluated for a concussion, per an NFL.com report. Reed's injury borders on uncanny, as his otherwise good health leading up to it has been one of the more positive stories from Washington's camp. From a human standpoint, you just... Read More
Case Keenum Has Solid Outing Thursday
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum completed nine of 14 passes for 101 yards in Thursday night's preseason game. He also lost a fumble, but from a passing standpoint it was his best performance of the preseason. Keenum has probably shown just enough to fend off Dwayne Haskins for the Week 1 starting job. It's worth... Read More
Derrius Guice Impressive In First Preseason Action
Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice finally got onto the field in the team's third preseason game Thursday, and he showed fantasy owners what they've been looking for. He rushed 11 times for 44 yards and hauled in his only target. Simply having been medically cleared to participate is a massive step in the right... Read More
Chris Thompson Gets Some Run On Thursday
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson carried the ball three times for 20 yards on Thursday night, with a 16-yard scamper accounting for most of that total. He was also targeted three times in the passing game, hauling in two of them. It's not much, but just about any usage at all was going to... Read More

Robert Davis Making Preseason Targets Count
Washington Redskins wide receiver Robert Davis has been targeted thrice in two preseason games thus far. He's hauled in two of them, and both resulted in touchdowns of 46 and 55 yards. As unsustainable a success rate as this is, no positive performance from a Redskins wideout should be dismissed by the coaching staff. Their... Read More
Kelvin Harmon Not Getting Much Run In Preseason
Washington Redskins wide receiver Kelvin Harmon has been targeted five times in the team's first two exhibition contests, hauling in two of them for 17 yards. The Redskins were without both Trey Quinn and Terry McLaurin in the most recent outing, with Josh Doctson seeing minimal playing time as well, so it's at least a... Read More
Vernon Davis Still In The Mix
Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis might be getting up there in age, but he's still vying for a spot on the roster. That's not going to be a particularly fantasy-relevant roster spot, however, as the backup tight end in Washington will be used sparingly. If there is even a glimmer of fantasy potential for... Read More
Jeremy Sprinkle Seeing Modest Volume In Preseason
Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle enters 2019 in a competition with Vernon Davis for the backup tight end role. He has seen four targets and caught two of them for 13 yards in the preseason. This role is highly unlikely to provide any fantasy value, as even first-string tight end Jordan Reed was largely... Read More
Trey Quinn Back At Practice Sunday
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn was held out of last week's preseason game, but he returned to practice on Sunday. Quinn will likely enter Week 1 as the Redskins' slot receiver, providing him with intriguing fantasy potential in PPR leagues. Regardless of who earns the starting QB job for Week 1, the Redskins don't... Read More
Terry McLaurin Practices On Sunday
Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin missed Thursday's preseason game with a tailbone injury, but he returned to practice Sunday. McLaurin has yet to factor into either of the Redskins' first two exhibitions, but early reports on his training camp performances have caused some intrigue as to what he can do in game action. McLaurin... Read More
Dustin Hopkins A Dicey Fantasy Kicker
Washington Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins has missed a field goal and an extra point this preseason, with one made FG and two successful PATs. While this is hardly a sample size worth reading into, there are a few other factors that stand to negatively impact his fantasy value in 2019. The Redskins will play all... Read More
Case Keenum Must Solidify Starting Role In Preseason Week 3
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum is probably going to be named the Week 1 starter, but he hasn't closed the door on rookie Dwayne Haskins yet. Keenum has completed just seven of 16 pass attempts this preseason, good for a 43.8% completion rate. Keenum's advantage over Haskins is that he brings experience to a team... Read More
Josh Doctson Not Being Heavily Featured In Preseason
Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson has seen just one target in the team's first two preseason games thus far. This isn't anything new, as projected veteran starters are routinely eased into action, so it isn't worth reading much into. Still, Doctson doesn't have the shiniest track record of production as Washington's number-one wide receiver,... Read More
Redskins Taking Their Time With Jordan Reed
Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed has predictably not been featured in either of the team's two preseason games, as his health is a far higher priority than seeing what he's capable of on the field. All things appear just fine on the health front, though, as Reed came into 2019 training camp without lingering... Read More
