Taylor Heinicke, Kyle Allen Don't Clear COVID-19 Protocol
3 years agoWashington Football Team quarterbacks Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen did not clear COVID-19 protocols in time, so Washington's top two quarterbacks will be inactive on Tuesday night. This will put Garrett Gilbert in line for his first start of the season after he was signed off the New England practice squad. Gilbert will go against the Philadelphia Eagles who have given up the sixth-fewest passing yards this season, so he doesn't offer any appeal in fantasy lineups. Washington could take a run-heavy approach in this one, so the pass-catchers could be in for a tough game with a new quarterback under center. Terry McLaurin will likely see a lot of Darius Slay in coverage, which puts him into the low-end WR2 range given the current state of the offense.
