Redskins Signing Randy Moss' Son
The Washington Redskins are signing former LSU tight end Thaddeus Moss, according to a source. He's the son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss and went undrafted. Moss' physical at the combine showed a Jones fracture in his right foot that required surgery, and his inability to visit teams for follow-up exams during […]
Redskins Draft Kamren Curl In Last Round Of Draft
The Washington Redskins selected Arkansas safety Kamren Curl with the second pick of the seventh round of Saturday's NFL Draft. Curl is a developmental project who is a bit of a linebacker/safety hybrid in the run game, but he has also played cornerback in his career. That kind of versatility is a good sign for […]
Redskins Take A Chance on James Smith-Williams
The Washington Redskins have selected North Carolina State defensive end James Smith-Williams with the No. 229 pick during the seventh round. He's a strong player with raw power, but struggles on the technical side of the game. Smith-Williams has battled injuries throughout college, but he plays well when he's actually on the field. He recorded […]
Redskins Go With Khaleke Hudson At No. 162 Overall
The Washington Redskins selected Michigan outside linebacker Khaleke Hudson with the No. 162 overall pick in the fifth round. He's undersized at 5-foot-11, 224 pounds in the middle of the field but showed good speed at the combine. Hudson hits hard and plays well downhill while defending the run, and he can also show impressive […]
Keith Ismael Should Help Redskins Offensive Line
The Washington Redskins have selected San Diego State offensive guard/tackle Keith Ismael with the No. 156 pick in the fifth round. Ismael is a bit of a project, but he's a nice developmental piece for Washington. He has issues moving laterally and does lack quickness at times. The Redskins needed to address their offensive line, […]
'Skins Use Second Fourth-Rounder On Antonio Gandy-Golden
With the No. 142 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins selected Liberty wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden. Gandy-Golden is a big target at 6-foot-4, 223 pounds and has a natural ability to make big plays because of his natural hands. There isn't great top-end speed here, but Gandy-Golden will be a player […]
Washington Selects Saahdiq Charles
With the 108th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins selected LSU offensive tackle Saahdiq Charles. Despite off-the-field issues with the Tigers that kept him from playing at times, Charles is a talented player who had the skill set to be a Day 2 pick. With Washington trading Trent Williams on Saturday, the […]
Antonio Gibson Will Be Involved
The Washington Redskins view running back Antonio Gibson, their third-round pick in 2020, as a running back who can and will line up all over the field. The Redskins want to use more 21 personnel -- two running backs, one tight end -- with Gibson and another back on the field together. That means Gibson […]
Instant Reaction: NFL Draft Round 1 Winners/Losers

Is Clyde Edwards-Helaire the Next Brian Westbrook?
Hyperbole and the NFL Draft go hand in hand. Every GM, coach, and teammate of an incoming first-round pick is going to proclaim how much they love their new guy, how they had him pegged for their team all along, and inevitably throw out some comps for emphasis. Hours after the first round of the […]
Redskins Add Playmaker Antonio Gibson
The Washington Redskins used the 66th overall pick in the NFL Draft on Memphis running back Antonio Gibson. While he's classified as a running back, Gibson has also played wide receiver and adds explosiveness to a Washington offense that needs playmakers. Gibson has good speed for a runner of his size and should fill the […]

Are Rookie Receivers Trustworthy in Redraft Leagues?
When I started planning this article, it reminded me of a draft I had last year in a very deep league. It was a re-draft league and a guy drafted Emanuel Hall, a Missouri receiver with 4.39 speed, signed to the Bucs a few days prior. Sure, it was a deep league, the Bucs' offense […]

Looking For Market Inefficiencies: RB Return On Investment
When it comes to Return on Investment (ROI), I keep things as simple as I can. I just take a player's ADP entering the season and divide it by his season-end final ranking among all players in the league. That's because every player is available in drafts and therefore every player should be taken into […]
Running Backs to Stash in Dynasty Pre-Draft
The NFL Draft is traditionally viewed as a time when end-of-bench guys lose value because their teams draft new players to replace them. But 32 NFL teams aren't drafting running backs during this draft, which means that there's value to be found among players who are currently in the league. This is a good time […]
