Vernon Davis A Sneaky Option For Week 3
Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis will draw the start if Jordan Reed is once again inactive, and he's facing a decent matchup if so. The Bears have allowed 15 receptions to tight ends for 133 yards and a touchdown. The question any fantasy owner must ask themselves if considering Davis for Week 3 is... Read More
Paul Richardson A Long Shot To Produce In Week 3
Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson has seen just 10 targets in two weeks. Despite Case Keenum having attempted 81 passes, Richardson just hasn't seen enough volume to believe he's in line for a big night against the Bears on Monday. Terry McLaurin, Trey Quinn, and Chris Thompson have combined for a target share near... Read More
Trey Quinn A Deep PPR Option Against Chicago
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn has seen 13 targets through two games. His team's inability to run the ball suggests he could be looking at another relatively high target share on Monday night. The Bears allowed the fourth-most receptions to opposing wideouts last season, and just got carved up by Emmanuel Sanders last Sunday.... Read More
Terry McLaurin A Sneaky PPR Option On Monday Night
Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin has impressed in his first two NFL games, hauling in 10 of 16 targets for 187 yards and two touchdowns. His Week 3 opponent is the Bears, who just allowed Emmanuel Sanders to have his way against them last Sunday: 11 catches, 98 yards, one touchdown. Assuming it's business... Read More
Chris Thompson A PPR Flex Option Against Bears
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson leads the entire team in targets with 18. He's caught 12 of them for 116 yards. Thompson might be Washington's only hope out of the backfield against the Bears, who have looked every bit like the run defense we expected coming into 2019. If Chicago has bent anywhere, it's... Read More
Case Keenum Facing Difficult Monday Night Matchup
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum has looked better than most thought he would as the new signal-caller, completing just under 70% of his passes for 601 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions. Keenum could reasonably be expected to chuck it early and often on Monday night, considering the Redskins' nonexistent running game and the Bears'... Read More
Adrian Peterson Not In Play For Week 3
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson had minimal success other than a short touchdown run against the Cowboys in Week 2. On Monday night, he'll face a Bears Defense that has permitted just 64.5 rushing yards per game to opposing backs and no rushing touchdowns. The Redskins have provided us with zero evidence that they... Read More
Redskins Defense Not Fantasy Relevant
The Washington Redskins Defense has its softest matchup of the young season in the Chicago Bears on Monday night. In a perfect world, you could trust this unit to get the job done as a streamer in a week when a few of the better fantasy defenses in the league have tougher matchups (Chargers/Texans, Browns/Rams)....

Redskins Defense Outmatched By Cowboys
The Washington Redskins Defense didn't have an answer for the Cowboys on Sunday. They did pick off Dak Prescott once, but they only got to him for one sack and allowed him to complete 86.7% of his passes. Prescott launched three touchdowns, and Ezekiel Elliott rumbled for 111 yards on 23 rushing attempts with a... Read More
Trey Quinn Doesn't Capitalize On Volume In Loss
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn saw another PPR-friendly target share in Sunday's loss, but for the second week in a row, failed to total 40 yards receiving. A touchdown salvaged his four-catch, 33-yard outing in Week 1, but he didn't score on Sunday in a similarly pedestrian four-catch, 36-yard performance. His 13 targets after... Read More
Chris Thompson Targeted Eight Times In Week 2
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson caught five passes for 48 yards on Sunday. His eight targets trailed only Terry McLaurin, and his 18 targets after two games are the most of any player on the team. Thompson's level of involvement has largely stemmed from a nearly nonexistent running game, which has made him the... Read More
Vernon Davis A Non-Factor In Sunday's Loss
Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis caught three passes for 29 yards against the Cowboys on Sunday. He was targeted just four times. Even in the absence of Jordan Reed, Davis is going to be a touchdown-dependent fantasy tight end due to a lack of volume. This will only become more true as time progresses... Read More
Paul Richardson Catches Touchdown Against Cowboys
Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson salvaged a dismal fantasy day with a nine-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Cowboys. His final line for the day was three catches on three targets for 16 yards. After two weeks, it's abundantly clear that Terry McLaurin is the go-to target... Read More
Adrian Peterson Neutralized By Cowboys
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson opened the scoring in Week 2's loss to the Cowboys, but an early touchdown was the extent of his production for the day. He rushed 10 times for just 25 yards. The Redskins, who lived and died by the run in 2018, have now gotten a combined 43 rushing... Read More
Terry McLaurin Emerging As Legitimate Fantasy Option
Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin hauled in five receptions on nine targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He has now been targeted 16 times in Washington's first two games, the most of any Redskins wide receiver. The safe play heading into Week 2 was to exercise caution... Read More
Case Keenum Salvages Day With Two Second-Half TDs
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum was held in check by the Dallas defense for most of Sunday's Week 2 loss, but a pair of touchdowns late in the second half saved his fantasy day. Keenum finished with 26 completions on 37 attempts for 221 yards and the two scores. He also didn't commit any turnovers,... Read More

Redskins Defense Ready To Get Bulldozed By Cowboys
The Washington Redskins Defense will have home-field advantage on Sunday, but that is where this unit's leg up on the Cowboys begins and ends. Washington's front seven are staring down one of the better offensive lines in football, and Dallas has an abundance of weapons to turn to. Dak Prescott was one of the more... Read More
Trey Quinn Not Ready For Fantasy Consideration
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn could theoretically be in line for some lucrative PPR work on Sunday against the Cowboys. If the Dallas pass rush is able to wreak havoc in the pocket against a questionable Redskins offensive line, Case Keenum might be forced to look for Quinn in the intermediate passing game often.... Read More
Terry McLaurin Not Yet A Fantasy Starter
Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin will look to repeat an impressive Week 1 performance in which he racked up 125 yards and a touchdown on five receptions. While McLaurin is the most exciting wideout in Washington at the moment, this pass offense is still collectively an unknown quantity. The Redskins aired it out considerably... Read More
Paul Richardson Not On Fantasy Radar For Week 2
Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson returned minimal fantasy value in Week 1 despite being targeted seven times. We're going to have to learn as we go with the Redskins passing offense in terms of who Case Keenum looks to the most often, and part of that learning process includes not trusting anyone until there... Read More
Vernon Davis With Favorable Matchup In Week 2
Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis will be in line for the bulk of the tight end work on Sunday if Jordan Reed isn't able to play. If such is the case, Davis has the chance to pick up where Evan Engram left off in Week 1, when the latter torched the Cowboys Defense for... Read More
Chris Thompson A Flex Consideration For Week 2
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson figures to see a lot of action in his Week 2 matchup with the Cowboys. Washington is a home underdog in a divisional matchup, which tells us a lot about how the Redskins are viewed even after almost stealing one from the Eagles to start the season. If the... Read More
Case Keenum An Unsafe Bet For Week 2
Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum is coming off an impressive Week 1 outing, but a repeat against the Cowboys would be surprising. For starters, there is the obvious disadvantage of playing behind an offensive line that will be hard-pressed to stop Demarcus Lawrence on the pass rush. His receivers are also going to have to...
