K.J. Osborn Off Radar Ahead Of Patriots Debut
K.J. Osborn will make his team debut against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon. The veteran pass-catcher was signed away from the Minnesota Vikings this offseason and should provide quarterback Jacoby Brissett with an experienced presence downfield. Osborn is known for his big-play potential, but he's capable of producing on shorter passes, too. As of now, his primary competition for targets is rookie Ja'Lynn Polk, as the two were vying for the No. 2 role as the summer wound down. It's still unclear which of the two will start alongside Demario Douglas on Sunday, but it's a moot point for fantasy managers given that neither is worth starting in redraft leagues. Douglas, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Hunter Henry are the only Patriots that warrant even some consideration in most fantasy leagues.

K.J. Osborn, Chris Rodriguez Jr. Inactive On Championship Sunday
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.

K.J. Osborn Won't Play Against Cowboys
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 Inactive Again For Week 16
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.

K.J. Osborn A Healthy Scratch In Week 15
K.J. Osborn (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints. Osborn did not appear on the injury report this week and is a healthy scratch. The 27-year-old was claimed off waivers from New England just a few days ago, so it's possible he's inactive simply because he didn't have enough time to get integrated within the Washington offense. Regardless of the reason, he's not a dependable fantasy option moving forward.
