2 months agoAccording to the team, Washington Commanders wide receiver
K.J. Osborn and running back
Chris Rodriguez Jr. are both inactive for Sunday's NFC title game against the Philadelphia Eagles. They are healthy scratches. Both players were inactive during the first two rounds of the playoffs and will sit out again. Osborn has played in just one game since joining the Commanders off waivers in December. Rodriguez has operated in a depth change-of-pace role during the regular season and averaged a solid 4.9 yards per carry. As a result, fantasy managers should expect receivers
Terry McLaurin,
Dyami Brown, and
Olamide Zaccheaus to operate as the top wideouts, while
Brian Robinson Jr.,
Austin Ekeler, and
Jeremy McNichols are deployed out of the backfield.

3 months agoWashington Commanders wide receiver
K.J. Osborn (illness) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Osborn had been listed as questionable with an illness, but it's also possible that his absence is non-injury-related and merely a coach's decision, as has been the case most weeks since Washington claimed him off waivers from New England.
Terry McLaurin remains the Commanders' primary receiver with Olamide Zacchaeus thriving in a complementary role.
Dyami Brown,
Luke McCaffrey, and
Jamison Crowder are depth pass-catching options for Sunday's regular-season finale.

K.J. Osborn (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Osborn was claimed off waivers from the New England Patriots earlier this month but has not yet made his Commanders debut. In fact, the 27-year-old has appeared in just seven games this year, catching seven passes for 57 yards and one touchdown. He can be avoided in all fantasy leagues.

4 months agoAccording to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Washington Commanders have claimed wide receiver
K.J. Osborn. With
Noah Brown (ribs) dealing with a significant injury, the Commanders are adding Osborn to add some depth to their wide receiver room. Osborn played a limited role in the New England offense earlier this season, catching just seven of his 18 targets for 57 yards and one score across 10 games. While Osborn may eventually find a role in this offense, fantasy managers should expect
Dyami Brown,
Olamide Zaccheaus, and rookie
Luke McCaffrey to move up to a starting position in the short term. Dyami Brown is the most likely candidate to be given an extended look, as he has consistently seen a higher snap share than Zaccheaus and McCaffrey and has shown flashes at the time, averaging 10.3 yards per catch this season.
