Terry McLaurin Quiet In Week 8

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin had a rough game on Sunday as he finished with just three catches for 23 yards on seven targets. This is an all to familiar stat line for the third-year receiver, as he has posted some duds so far this season. McLaurin has been a victim of poor […]

Antonio Gibson Has Limited Role In Week 8

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson finished with just eight carries for 34 yards and added three receptions for 20 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Denver Broncos. Gibson's limited role was almost certainly due to the lingering shin injury he has been dealing with for the past few weeks. In what was […]

Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 8 Lineups

With six teams on bye and an abundance of injuries to factor in, Week 7 sent many fantasy managers into a tailspin to put together a workable starting lineup. Some managers were hit a little harder than others, but as a whole, this was the week that many had to get through as best as […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 8

As usual, the wide receiver matchup article from last week had some solid recommendations along with a few letdowns. Davante Adams (WR-10) had a solid game against a struggling Washington defense, Marquise Brown (WR-11) scored on a long-touchdown against the Bengals, while both Corey Davis (WR-20) and Calvin Ridley (WR-26) came through with scores. Brandin Cooks (WR-54) caught five […]

Week 8 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 7 was a bit of a rough one, I'm not gonna lie to you. I got only six of the top-10 defenses right with Carolina completely falling on their faces against a Giants offense led by Dante Pettis, and both the Browns and Broncos defenses getting nothing going in a real stinker of a […]

Washington Defense - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Washington Football Team defense will remain an afterthought in Week 8 when it comes to starting options in fantasy. The defensive unit has a solid matchup with a struggling Denver offense, but they still shouldn't be trusted to produce solid fantasy numbers. The secondary has been burned time and time again, and the return […]

Chris Blewitt - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team kicker Chris Blewitt is a low-end option in Week 8 as he has not proven himself to be a viable starter just yet, missing one of his field goals in Week 7 and only making one extra point. The Washington offense has struggled to move the ball downfield in recent weeks, so […]

J.D. McKissic - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic has some flex appeal in Week 8 against a Denver Broncos defense that has struggled as of late. His usage as a pass-catching back is valuable in PPR formats, as he has been targeted 16 times in his past two games. With Antonio Gibson (shin) not 100% healthy, McKissic […]

Ricky Seals-Jones - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team tight end Ricky Seals-Jones will once again be in line for a big role in the short-handed Washington offense against the Denver Broncos in Week 8. Seals-Jones has seen 22 targets in his past three games, so his usage automatically vaults him into mid-range TE1 territory for as long as Logan Thomas […]

Adam Humphries - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries could have a significant role in Week 8 with Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) ruled out. Humphries saw just four targets last week and turned it into three catches for 36 yards, so any sort of bump in usage could set up the slot receiver for […]

Taylor Heinicke - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke has the look of a lower-end QB2 in Week 8 on the road against the Denver Broncos. The 28-year-old hasn't been overly impressive in the past couple of weeks as he has thrown for just two touchdowns in his past three games. His rushing upside heightens his floor, but […]

Terry McLaurin - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin should be pretty busy once again in Week 8, as Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) will be inactive against the Denver Broncos. The third-year stud goes up against a secondary that has given up some big plays in the past couple of weeks, so the matchup […]

Antonio Gibson - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson has no injury designation and is good to go for a matchup with the struggling Denver Broncos defense. D'Ernest Johnson ran for 144 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against Denver, so Gibson could potentially be the focal point of the game plan to take advantage of […]

Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown Ruled Out

Washington Football Team wide receivers Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 8 against the Denver Broncos. Samuel's groin injury has bothered him since June, and he's played in just two games in his first year in D.C. A second Injured Reserve stint may be coming. Brown, a […]
