Dustin Hopkins Nails Two-Of-Three FG Tries
Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins made two field goals in three tries in a win over the Eagles Sunday. Hopkins miss came from 48-yards out but made two shorter kicks including a 40-yarder. Hopkins was also 3-for-3 on extra point attempts. Hopkins has been a consistent contributor in fantasy for years and should be […]
Steven Sims Gains 50 Yards
Washington Football Team wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. caught three passes for 50 yards in a win over the Eagles in Week 1. Sims was the second WR for Washington in most formations, but was targeted just three times as Washington ran the ball most of the second half. Sims has fantasy appeal in 14-plus […]
Logan Thomas Scores Week 1 Touchdown
Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas made four catches for 37 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 win over Philadelphia. Thomas led Washington with eight targets as the Dwayne Haskins looked to his tight end frequently with few other options to target. Thomas' involvement in Week 1 bodes well for his fantasy […]
Terry McLaurin Picks Up 61 Yards In Opener
Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught five passes for 61 yards in a Week 1 win over the Eagles. McLaurin was shadowed by new Eagles cornerback Darius Slay and struggled to consistently get open for Dwayne Haskins. The good news for McLaurin is he still led the team with seven targets. This will […]
Washington Defense Takes Over Game Vs Eagles
The Washington Football Team defense had a huge day for fantasy in a Week 1 win vs the Eagles.

Antonio Gibson Turns 11 Touches Into 44 Yards
Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson had nine carries for 36 yards and caught two passes for eight yards in his NFL-debut Sunday vs Philadelphia.

Peyton Barber Leads Washington Backfield
Washington Football Team running back Peyton Barber ran for 29 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns in a win over the Eagles Sunday. The 17 carries were more than rookie Antonio Gibson (nine) and J.D. McKissic (three) as the game-script heavily favored the steady, yet unspectacular, veteran in Barber. The backfield split was even […]
Dwayne Haskins Doesn't Do Much Despite Win
Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins completed 17 of 31 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Eagles in Week 1. Haskins did exactly what Washington needed from him as he didn't turn the ball over as their defense and running game took over. The lack of weapons in the […]
Washington Defense To Be Without Kendall Fuller
The Washington Football Team will officially not have cornerback Kendall Fuller (knee) in Week 1. Fuller was doubtful coming into the week, so this news shouldn't come as much of a surprise. This does present a downgrade to the Washington defense for fantasy purposes, though you likely weren't going to be playing them against a […]
J.D. McKissic Listed As Starter For Washington
The Washington Football Team's first depth chart of the season lists running back J.D. McKissic as the starting running back.

Antonio Gibson Benefits The Most From Adrian Peterson's Release
Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson, who stood out in training camp, should be the biggest beneficiary of Adrian Peterson's release.
