Terry McLaurin A Bench Candidate Versus Bills
Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin might very well have Dwayne Haskins throwing him the ball on Sunday, making him tough to trust in fantasy lineups. McLaurin's connection with first-string QB Case Keenum has been enough to elevate him to a pleasantly fantasy-relevant role in an otherwise inept offense, but we have seen nothing in […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoWendell Smallwood An Awful Week 9 Option
Washington Redskins running back Wendell Smallwood could be the starter by process of elimination on Sunday if Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson sit. This does not mean he should be seriously considered for fantasy purposes on the road against the Bills, especially if rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins gets the start in place of concussed Case […]

Chris O'Reilly PREMIUM 5 years agoTrey Quinn Hits Rock Bottom Against Vikings
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn caught one pass for 15 yards on Thursday night, and that's about the size of it. Every downfield pass-catcher on this team not named Terry McLaurin has routinely been the victim of an absolutely hapless offense with no visible hope of turning things around. Quinn has been a total […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoJeremy Sprinkle Goes For 12 Yards Against Minnesota
Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Thursday's loss to the Vikings. It is actually becoming impressive just how incompetent this offense is in almost every facet of the game. The idea that any team in the entire league could struggle to even remotely involve multiple players […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoPaul Richardson Remains A Non-Factor
Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson caught three passes for 34 yards on Thursday night against the Vikings. This is sadly a step in the right direction after he was held without a catch in each of his previous two outings. Not that Richardson should be anywhere near your fantasy roster in the first place, […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoAdrian Peterson The Lone Bright Spot For Redskins
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson carried the ball 14 times for 76 yards against Minnesota on Thursday night. He also caught two passes for 27 yards. This would have amounted to a solid fantasy day if he capped it off with a touchdown, but his team was held out of the endzone entirely for […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoWendell Smallwood Invisible In Week 8
Washington Redskins running back Wendell Smallwood logged 20 total yards on three touches in Thursday night's loss to the Vikings. Adrian Peterson's status wasn't officially known until right before game time when he was declared active, at which point Smallwood's outlook for the Thursday contest grew bleak. Despite Chris Thompson also battling an injury in […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoTerry McLaurin Held In Check On Thursday
Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught four of six targets for 39 yards on Thursday night. All three stats led the team, which says a lot about how bad the Redskins offense is. McLaurin's future fantasy value takes a hit if Case Keenum (concussion) can't get back on the field right away, and his […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoDwayne Haskins Picked Off In Scoreless Relief Effort
Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins took the helm when Case Keenum went down with a concussion on Thursday night. He didn't get to do much, attempting just five passes. Unfortunately, one of those was intercepted deep in Minnesota territory in what was a one-score game at the time. With an extra few days until their […]

Chris O'Reilly PREMIUM 5 years agoRedskins Defense A Terrible Play Against Vikings
The Washington Redskins Defense will head to Minnesota on Thursday night to take on a Vikings team that has averaged 36 points a game over the last three weeks. Minnesota's recent offensive success directly coincides with its newly established willingness to air the ball out from the arm of Kirk Cousins, who has averaged 325 […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoJeremy Sprinkle Maintains A Low-Floor Fantasy Profile
Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle will presumably start for the fourth consecutive week on Thursday night against the Vikings, but that starting role has yet to yield any positive fantasy results. Vernon Davis has missed Washington's last three games, a time frame in which Sprinkle has caught a total of six passes for 54 […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoTrey Quinn An Extremely High-Risk Week 8 Option
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn has totaled seven catches for 56 yards in his last three games. His only double-digit PPR outing came all the way back in Week 1 when he happened to score a garbage-time touchdown. With a short week to prepare for Thursday night's game and a Redskins offense that hasn't […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoPaul Richardson Can't Be Trusted In Week 8
Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson has a relatively favorable matchup on his hands Thursday, but has done nothing this season to convince fantasy owners he can capitalize. The Vikings are allowing an average of 15 receptions and 159 yards per game to opposing receivers, along with 11 total touchdowns. Richardson hasn't caught a pass […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoTerry McLaurin The Only Smart Redskins Fantasy Play
Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin should be in line for a ton of targets in Thursday night's game at Minnesota, making him the only reasonably safe fantasy option among his teammates. The Vikings have allowed the most receptions to wide receivers of any team in the league, for 1,116 total yards and a league-high […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoCase Keenum Not A Safe Week 8 Option
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum will look to bounce back from Sunday's 9-0 loss in which he threw for under 100 yards, but a date with Minnesota doesn't provide him with much more fantasy appeal. This should be interpreted more as a lack of faith in Washington's offense than a vote of confidence in the […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoWendell Smallwood Could Be In Line For Starting Work
Washington Redskins running back Wendell Smallwood might be the starter by default in Thursday night's game at Minnesota. Adrian Peterson is questionable with a high ankle sprain, while Chris Thompson continues to nurse a toe injury that held him out of last week's contest. Considering the short week, it wouldn't be surprising to see the […]

Chris O'Reilly PREMIUM 5 years agoTrey Quinn Struggles Yet Again In Loss
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn led the team in receiving yards on Sunday against the 49ers. This is a meaningless development, of course, because all that it means is he totaled more than 18 yards. Quinn turned in a familiar stat line with two receptions for 30 yards, while no one else on the […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoPaul Richardson Held Without A Catch On Sunday
Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson was held without a catch for the second straight game in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. While the Redskins barely attempted any passes to begin with in a bad-weather game, Richardson's total lack of involvement can't be given a pass just because of rain or a tough defensive matchup. […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoTerry McLaurin Held In Check By 49ers
Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught just one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. The writing was on the wall for a tough matchup to begin with, while the incessant rainfall took the passing game almost entirely out of the equation for Washington. McLaurin will return to a more positive […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoJeremy Sprinkle Once Again A Non-Factor
Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle caught two passes in a 9-0 loss that has to be the leader in the clubhouse for least entertaining game of the 2019 NFL season. Sprinkle had nothing working in his favor heading into the matchup against a tough 49ers Defense, but the weather both teams had to put […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoWendell Smallwood Sees Six Touches In Home Loss
Washington Redskins running back Wendell Smallwood received five carries and caught one pass, converting his touches into 41 total yards. The weather in this Week 7 contest ruined any potential Smallwood might've had to excel against a tough 49ers Defense with Chris Thompson out due to injury. The fact that he averaged 6.83 yards per […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoAdrian Peterson Racks Up 81 Rushing Yards In Week 7
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson surprisingly totaled 81 yards on 20 carries against an elite defense in a game hampered by bad weather. He was regrettably kept from scoring a touchdown in the loss, as were all of his teammates. Week 7 marked the second straight week that Peterson saw at least 20 carries, […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoCase Keenum Attempts Just 12 Passes In Rainy Loss
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum completed nine of 12 passes for 77 yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Terrible weather slowed down both of the offenses in this contest, and the Redskins ran the ball just well enough that airing it out through a hard rain would not have improved their chances of winning […]
Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoRedskins Defense Keeps 49ers Out Of Endzone
The Washington Redskins Defense held the San Francisco 49ers to three field goals on Sunday, but a lack of offense resulted in a 9-0 loss. Washington's defensive effort in a game marred by miserable weather kept the Niners from establishing their run as effectively as they've been able to in previous games. This unit also […]

Chris O'Reilly 5 years agoJeremy Sprinkle To Start Again On Sunday
Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle will be the starter for the third consecutive week with Vernon Davis having once again been ruled out and Jordan Reed's entire career up in the air. The Redskins are the only team, real or otherwise, that he should start for this week. The 49ers are allowing fewer than […]
