Chase Young Suffers Mild Ankle Sprain

Washington Football Team rookie pass-rusher Chase Young (ankle) suffered just a mild ankle sprain in the wild-card loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday night and was limited late in the game.

Washington Defense Records Three Sacks In Playoff Loss

The Washington Football Team defense recorded three sacks, but couldn't slow down Tom Brady and the Buccaneers in a wild-card round loss.

Washington Defense Has Tough Matchup In Wild-Card Round

The Washington Football Team defense rode its impressive defensive line to fantasy relevance in 2020, but they'll face a stiff test in the playoffs versus quarterback Tom Brady and the Bucs.

Washington Defense A Strong Option In Week 17

The Washington Football Team defense has been waiting for this rematch since Week 1. Back in September, the Washington defense terrorized Carson Wentz, sacking the Eagles QB eight times and intercepting him twice. Since that game, rookie Jalen Hurts has taken over under center in Philadelphia, but the offensive line hasn't improved. The Eagles have […]

Thomas Davis To Retire After 2020 Season

Washington Football Team linebacker Thomas Davis, who is playing in his 16th NFL season in 2020, announced on his Twitter account that this will be his final season.

Dwayne Haskins Jr. Goes Unclaimed, Becomes Free Agent

Former Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins was not claimed off of the waiver wire by the allotted deadline on Tuesday, making him a free agent. Haskins' fall has been precipitous, having started an NFL game as recently as Sunday, but he is now likely heading into the offseason without a franchise less than two years […]

Washington Defense Records Four Sacks Versus Panthers

The Washington Football Team defense had another strong game in Week 16 in a loss to the Panthers. Washington allowed 20 points and sacked QB Teddy Bridgewater four times including a pair by Chase Young and Montez Sweat to give the pass-rush duo 12.5 combined on the season.

Dwayne Haskins Jr Struggles, Gets Benched Versus Panthers

Dwayne Haskins Jr. Expected To Start

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. is expected to start on Sunday against the Panthers with Alex Smith (calf) injured. The situation has been murky all week, and Haskins also violated COVID-19 protocols earlier in the week, complicating things even more. But it's looking more and more like Haskins will be the quarterback on Sunday […]

Washington Defense A Start-Worthy Unit Against Carolina

The Washington Football Team defense has been up and down for fantasy this season, but they have a strong matchup in Week 16 and can be started in fantasy. Carolina is not an intimidating matchup and their offensive line could have problems with a Washington pass-rush that features Chase Young and Montez Sweat. Washington is […]

Washington Signing Mychal Kendricks

The Washington Football Team is signing veteran linebacker Mychal Kendricks off the Seattle Seahawks practice squad on Monday, according to a source. Kendricks hasn't played in a single game for Seattle this season, but he managed a very useful 71 combined tackles, eight tackles for loss, two QB hits, one interception, four passes defensed, one […]

Washington Defense Doesn't Do Much Versus Seahawks

The Washington Football Team defense had a quiet afternoon against Russell Wilson and the Seahawks. Washington allowed 20 points and Daron Payne intercepted Wilson, but that was all the Football Team could muster against one of the better offenses in the league. Washington will be a low-end starting option in Week 16 at home against […]

Dwayne Haskins Jr Has Sloppy Game Versus Seattle

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr had a rough game Sunday in a loss to the Seahawks. Haskins salvaged his fantasy line by throwing 55 passes, completing 38 for 295 yards, and a touchdown.

Washington Defense Has Tough Matchup With Seahawks

The Washington Football Team defense has been a solid unit for fantasy this season but faces a tough test in Week 15 versus Russell Wilson and the Seahawks. Seattle is in the bottom-third of the league in fantasy points allowed to opposing defenses. Washington has a decent floor as their strong defensive line featuring Chase […]

Dwayne Haskins Jr. To Start Versus Seahawks

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. will make his first start since Week 4 as Alex Smith (calf) was ruled out on Friday. Haskins came on in relief of Smith last week and completed 7-of-12 passes, albeit for just 51 yards (4.2 YPA) as Washington was trying to preserve a lead. Haskins starting will […]

Antonio Gibson Misses Practice Thursday

Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) sat out of practice on Thursday. Head coach Ron Rivera said he's "very hopeful" that Gibson will return at some point for the stretch run. The club signed Lamar Miller as an "insurance policy." Gibson suffered a painful turf-toe injury in Week 13 against the Steelers […]

Alex Smith Sitting Out Again Thursday

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) will sit out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday as he deals with a calf strain that he suffered in the Week 14 win over the 49ers. Washington's plan all along was to take things slowly with Smith, as the priority is rest over practice […]

Alex Smith's Injury Not Related To Broken Leg

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) said his right calf strain is not at all related to his previous broken leg that almost ended his career and caused him to almost lose his leg. Smith said it was "a freak thing" that was minor the week before and became a bigger issue in the […]

Alex Smith Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) did not practice on Wednesday.

Washington remains optimistic that the 36-year-old veteran can […]

Washington Optimistic About Alex Smith

The Washington Football Team is optimistic about quarterback Alex Smith's (calf) chances of starting in Week 15 against the Seahawks, although he's expected to be limited in practice this week. Smith suffered a calf strain last weekend to the same leg that he almost lost after suffering a gruesome break a couple of years ago. […]

Alex Smith Vital To Washington's Offense

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) continues to receive treatment for a mild calf strain that he suffered in the Week 14 win over the 49ers. It's unknown if he'll be able to suit up in Week 15 against the Seahawks, but Washington's offense needs him under center. Since the veteran signal-caller took over […]

Alex Smith Dealing With Calf Strain

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) was diagnosed with a calf strain after leaving the Week 14 win over the 49ers. All X-rays were negative and this doesn't appear to be a significant injury, so Smith isn't being ruled out yet for Week 15 against the Seahawks. We'll know a lot more on the […]

Dustin Hopkins Make Three-Of-Four Kicks In Road-Win

Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-points in a win over the 49ers Sunday. Hopkins' miss came from more than 50 yards away, but he also made a 51-yarder to become the franchise's all-time leader in 50-plus yard kicks. Hopkins also made kicks from 31 […]

Washington Defense Scores Twice In San Francisco

The Washington Football Team defense had a huge day for fantasy managers Sunday, finding the end zone twice in a win over the 49ers.

The Football Team wasn't done there, however, as Kamren Curl intercepted Nick Mullins and […]

J.D. McKissic Totals 86 Yards In San Francisco

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic handled 11 carries for 68 yards and made two catches for 18 yards in a win over the 49ers Sunday. McKissic saw a season-high in carries with Antonio Gibson (toe) injured, but his involvement in the passing game dwindled when Alex Smith (leg) left the game. McKissic came […]
