Steven Sims Jr. Scores Long Touchdown In Loss
Washington Redskins wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. took a rare rushing attempt 65 yards to the house for his team's only score of the day. He was targeted three times and caught two of them for one yard. Outside of the fluky touchdown, his stat line in the defeat was par for the course with... Read More
Colt McCoy Predictably Struggles Against Patriots
Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy completed 18 of 27 passes for 119 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's loss to New England. The Redskins are very obviously the worst team in the NFC, and with their season already over at 0-5, there is no justifiable reason for the coaching staff not to roll... Read More
Trey Quinn Remains Off The Fantasy Radar
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn is averaging six targets per game, which would earn him deep PPR consideration under better circumstances. Unfortunately for Quinn, things are likely to get worse before they get better. His opponent for Week 5 is a Patriots team that has given up just one offensive touchdown all season, and... Read More
Paul Richardson An Unsafe Play For Week 5
Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson is not a reliable fantasy option this week whether Terry McLaurin plays or not. Last week, in an extremely favorable matchup against a porous Giants pass defense, the Redskins looked his way five times. He caught three of them for 14 yards. Needless to say, the Patriots present a... Read More
Chris Thompson A Risky Flex Play Against Patriots
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson is in line for his usual fantasy-friendly pass-catching volume on Sunday, as he leads the team in total targets and trails only Terry McLaurin in targets per game. That's the good news. The bad news is that the Patriots are coming to town, Thompson's quarterback for Week 5 is... Read More
Jeremy Sprinkle The Primary TE For Redskins On Sunday
Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle will start against the Patriots by process of elimination for Week 5. Jordan Reed has been ruled out for the fifth straight game to start the year, and Vernon Davis will miss this contest as well. This injury-forced promotion couldn't have come at a worse time for Sprinkle, as... Read More
Adrian Peterson Not In Play For Week 5
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson is averaging 2.7 yards per carry, and his next opponent is a Patriots squad surrendering just 61.3 rushing yards per game. The overall ineptitude of the Redskins offense forecasts another rough outing for Peterson against a New England defense that has permitted one offensive touchdown in the first month... Read More
Redskins Defense The Worst Possible Week 5 Option
The Washington Redskins Defense will face the New England Patriots on Sunday, which is about all that needs to be said regarding this unit's fantasy outlook. The Redskins have given up at least 31 points in three of four games, and lost by three touchdowns in Week 4 to a below-average Giants offense. Washington is... Read More

Redskins Defense Forces Four Turnovers Against Giants
The Washington Redskins Defense finally held an opponent under 30 points, and salvaged the 24 points they did allow by forcing four turnovers (two interceptions, two fumbles). That's about the extent of the positives here. Washington's offense couldn't stay on the field thanks to arguably the worst running game in the NFL and a pass... Read More
Trey Quinn Racks Up 10 Yards In Loss
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn caught two of four balls thrown his way for 10 yards on Sunday. It was his lowest target total of the season in a game where the Redskins just looked hopeless on offense. Despite a role in his team's offense that could reasonably be expected to translate into decent... Read More
Vernon Davis Catches One Pass Against Giants
Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis hauled in one of four targets for five yards against the Giants on Sunday. He joins a long list of Redskins offensive players who had dismal fantasy days despite facing a defense that had been torched by its previous three opponents. Davis will continue to be the tight end... Read More
Paul Richardson Disappoints In Favorable Matchup
Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson had all the makings of a week-winning fantasy play coming into Sunday's matchup with the Giants. New York had been one of the league's worst pass defenses, Terry McLaurin was inactive, and Case Keenum had thrown multiple touchdown passes in each of the Redskins' first three games. In the... Read More
Chris Thompson Catches Four Passes Against Giants
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson was targeted five times, hauling in four of them for 56 yards. He also saw four carries, but only converted them into four total yards. Thompson was the only Redskins offensive player to show even a shred of life in a loss that virtually signaled the end of their... Read More
Adrian Peterson Continues To Be Ineffective
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson rushed 11 times for 28 yards in Sunday's loss to the Giants. For the third straight game, Peterson was completely ineffective on the ground. Including Week 1's dud from Derrius Guice, it's four straight games of a virtually nonexistent rushing attack from the Redskins. Peterson would qualify as droppable... Read More
Dwayne Haskins Struggles In Week 4 Loss
Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins replaced starter Case Keenum in Sunday's loss to the Giants. After Washington's first four possessions ended by way of a turnover or punt, head coach Jay Gruden had seen enough. The offense didn't look any better with Haskins at the helm, however, as the rookie completed 9 of 17 passes... Read More

Vernon Davis A Touchdown-Dependent Option
Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis will continue to see regular playing time as long as Jordan Reed is out, but he hasn't been very involved in the offense to this point. Davis is averaging just five targets and three receptions per game, with over 40% of his 118 total yards having come on one... Read More
Chris Thompson The Only Effective RB In Washington
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson ranks second on the team in targets and receiving yards, and is tied with Terry McLaurin for the team lead in catches. A nonexistent ground attack has forced Washington to turn to Thompson in the passing game more often, and the result has been a fantasy-friendly workload. His opponent... Read More
Adrian Peterson A Risky Play Against Giants
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson has not gotten off the launchpad in 2019, averaging just 2.8 yards per carry on 22 attempts since taking over for the injured Derrius Guice. The Redskins have had a decent amount of success through the air, and now they're about to face one of the worst pass defenses... Read More
Trey Quinn Has PPR Potential For Week 4
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn has seen 20 targets through three games, and he might be looking at an uptick on Sunday if Terry McLaurin doesn't play. Quinn has unfortunately converted his fantasy-friendly target share into just 13 catches for 99 yards and a touchdown, but the volume does suggest he has a sustainable... Read More
Case Keenum A Borderline Starter For Week 4
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum committed five disastrous turnovers against the Bears in Week 3, but he's quietly been a solid quarterback outside of that on a team that has no choice but to throw the ball. Keenum is averaging over 300 yards per game and has thrown multiple touchdown passes in each of the... Read More
Paul Richardson Possesses Upside Against Giants
Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson could be looking at the target share of a number-one if Terry McLaurin doesn't suit up on Sunday. McLaurin is dealing with a hamstring injury, and even if he plays, we might not be seeing the same kid who has scored a touchdown in each of his first three... Read More
Redskins Defense Not A Week 4 Option
The Washington Redskins Defense has given up nine passing touchdowns, a total lower only than that of the Dolphins. One of their opponents was the Chicago Bears, who spent the first two weeks of the season resembling a practice squad on offense. The Redskins have forced two turnovers, are allowing the highest completion rate in... Read More
