Peyton Barber Off The Fantasy Radar In Championship Week

Washington Football Team running back Peyton Barber shouldn't be trusted in fantasy after receiving just four carries last week versus Seattle. Barber found the end zone last week, but only had five yards on four carries as the team relied on J.D. McKissic more than Barber. Rookie rusher Antonio Gibson (toe) may be back this […]

Cam Sims A Fantasy Option In Week 16

Washington Football Team wide receiver Cam Sims will be the top wide receiver option on Sunday against the Panthers with Terry McLaurin (ankle) doubtful to play. Sims made five catches on eight targets last week and had nine targets three weeks ago, as he's been playing the most snaps opposite McLaurin. It's unclear who will […]

Logan Thomas An Attractive Option In Championship Week

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas had a huge game last week against the Seahawks, and fantasy managers should roll with the 29-year old against the Panthers in Week 16. It's unlikely Thomas gets 16 targets again, but he's seen at least four targets in every game this season and should be the focal […]

Antonio Gibson Questionable For Sunday

Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) logged his third straight limited practice on Friday and is questionable to suit up against the Panthers.

Terry McLaurin Listed As Doubtful

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Week 16 against the Panthers.

Alex Smith Trending Towards Playing Despite Questionable Tag

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) was listed as questionable on the team's final injury report, but was able to participate in practice on Friday and is trending towards suiting up against Carolina.

Alex Smith Trending In The Wrong Direction?

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins had a silent afternoon against the Seahawks, only attempting two kicks.
