BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Despite being a fifth-round selection two years ago, Sam Howell has played well through the first two weeks of the season. He scored over 15.2 points last, thanks to a rushing touchdown, and had 21.2 points after throwing for almost 300 yards and two touchdowns this past weekend.
While his 15 points in Week 1 may not be too exciting, he did have two turnovers, which resulted in -4.0 points. He hasn't rushed very much so far. He has just four carries, 24 yards, and one score. However, as a senior at North Carolina, he rushed 183 times for 828 yards and 11 touchdowns. There's untapped rushing potential here with Howell that could not only help maintain a quality floor but also increase his weekly ceiling.

The Washington offense looks much better this season. This shouldn't be surprising. They've added former Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy and their skilled players are very talented. Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel, and Logan Thomas is a very talented group of pass-catchers, and second-year running back Brian Robinson Jr. has been impressive through two weeks.
Howell's a quality start in any Superflex league and is becoming one of the better streaming quarterbacks widely available on waivers. However, Washington's Week 3 matchup is against Buffalo, which is one of the more difficult defenses for opposing quarterbacks. Things get much easier in Week 4 against Philadelphia.
