Joey Slye - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team kicker Joey Slye will look to continue his solid play since joining the team in Week 10.

Washington Defense - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Washington Football Team defense is a risky option in Week 17 against the Jalen Hurts-led Eagles' offense, after coming off their worst performance of the year in a blowout loss to the Cowboys.

Ricky Seals-Jones - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team tight end Ricky Seals-Jones will look to bounce back in Week 17 after gaining negative yardage in the blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Taylor Heinicke - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke will look to bounce back after a miserable outing in Week 16 against the Cowboys. The 28-year-old will take on the Eagles who have given up the ninth-fewest passing yards this season while allowing the fourth-fewest yards per attempt. Heinicke doesn't have much upside in this one, as the […]
