Daron Payne Questionable, Bobby Wagner Good To Go
1 day agoWashington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne (finger, knee) and defensive end Javontae Jean-Baptiste (shoulder) are both questionable for the NFC Championship game on Sunday versus the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, while linebacker Bobby Wagner (ankle) and defensive end Clelin Ferrell (knee) have been cleared to play. Payne played 37 defensive snaps in the Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams but picked up a knee injury in the process and could sit out this weekend. It would be a blow to Washington's interior defense against a stout Eagles offensive line if Payne cannot play, although it's excellent news for the Commanders defense that the ageless Wagner will be available to try and slow down Philly's ground attack, which is led by the NFL's leading rusher in Saquon Barkley. Washington's defensive unit is probably the least attractive play in fantasy of the four teams this weekend.
