Redskins Not Expecting Jordan Reed To Play

The Washington Redskins are not expecting tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) to play in the season opener against the Eagles on Sunday, according to sources. Tight end J.P. Holtz has been promoted from the practice squad as a result. Reed's injury woes continue. The oft-injured tight end has TE1 upside when he's on the field, […]

Draft Recap - RotoBaller's Staff League on Fleaflicker

Hey there from Brett Mitchell (aka AllBenchRB).

I’ll make a few key observations before I get into the thick of it. This was a very fast draft and […]

Reality Check: Why Your RB Sleepers Won't Wake Up

"Embrace reality, even if it burns you." - Pierre Berge This quote is ironic for a couple of reasons. First of all, this is a column about fantasy sports. Fantasy - the very definition reads, "the power or process of creating especially unrealistic or improbable mental images in response to psychological need." An escape from […]

Paul Richardson Taken Off Week 1 Injury Report

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (quadriceps) was taken off the final injury report for Week 1 against the Eagles. Richardson practiced in full all week and will be good to go for the regular season opener. Washington has perhaps the worst receiving corps in the NFL with Richardson, Trey Quinn and Terry McLaurin in […]

Jordan Reed Trending Toward Game-Time Decision

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) is officially questionable for Sunday against the Eagles. He hasn't been cleared for full contact yet, and head coach Jay Gruden said they'll have a "good feeling" about Reed's availability on Saturday morning. The beat goes on for the injury-prone Reed. He could be one of quarterback Case […]

Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams. RB is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy football, and one of the highest turnover positions in the NFL. Each year, running backs drop like flies and many NFL teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Stay […]

Derrius Guice To Start, Adrian Peterson Could Be Healthy Scratch

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden plans to start running back Derrius Guice in Week 1 on Sunday against the Eagles, but he hasn't decided whether the team will dress two more or three more running backs. Adrian Peterson could be the odd man out this weekend as a healthy scratch. Guice is the younger […]

Jordan Reed Not Cleared, Paul Richardson Progressing

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed remains in the concussion protocol as of Thursday. Head coach Jay Gruden said he was "very encouraged" by how wide receiver Paul Richardson (quadriceps) ran in practice on Thursday. Reed has been looking better and could be cleared on Friday, but until then he remains nothing more than a […]

Running Back Start/Sit Advice - Week 1

Pierre Camus and Chris Mangano break down the running back position to help with tough fantasy football lineup decisions for Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season. They decide who to start or sit among those in RB3 or flex consideration. Like and subscribe to the RotoBaller channel on Youtube to get all our latest […]

Jordan Reed Seen At Practice Thursday

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) was seen at practice stretching on Thursday. Reed has responded well to increased activities over the last few days and is trending in the right direction for Week 1 against the Eagles, although there's still a chance he'll be listed as questionable come Friday. Reed's biggest issue has […]

Paul Richardson Not A Safe Bet For Week 1

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson will start against the Eagles on Sunday, and it's worth noting that his opponent was a very fantasy-friendly matchup for wideouts in 2018. That said, Richardson has consistently been a pretty all-or-nothing receiver in his career, with many of his most lucrative fantasy outings coming in the form of […]

Trey Quinn Starting From Slot In Week 1

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn will operate out of the slot to start the year, as expected. This provides him with the most immediate fantasy intrigue of any Redskins receiver simply because slot roles often translate into high volume. In a passing game without any one "sure thing" heading into 2019, the best bet […]

Terry McLaurin In Line To Start In Week 1

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin is set to join Paul Richardson and Trey Quinn as the team's starters at the position. The rookie McLaurin was evidently impressive enough in camp that the Redskins felt comfortable cutting ties with Josh Doctson. Both McLaurin and his new team will hope for better results than the Doctson […]

Case Keenum Facing Tough Week 1 Road Test

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum will make his team debut in the hostile confines of Lincoln Financial Field against the Eagles on Sunday. The Eagles were a bend-but-don't-break pass defense in 2018, allowing the third-most yards through the air (4,308) but holding their opposition to 22 passing touchdowns. Keenum and the Redskins are working with […]

Trent Williams Won't Play Sunday

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams didn't show up to the team facility to practice with the team on Wednesday and he won't play on Sunday in Week 1 against the Eagles. Williams' contract holdout will continue at least into Week 1, but there's a chance he could rejoin the team ahead of Week 2. […]

Jordan Reed Still In Concussion Protocol

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed remains in the concussion protocol, but head coach Jay Gruden is hopeful that Reed will do some work in practice on Wednesday. Reed has a very extensive history of concussions in the NFL, so it'd be foolish to expect him to suit up in Week 1 on the road […]

Around The NFL Pop Quiz: NFC East

We're officially in the last week of preseason. Cuts are done. There are very few "sleepers" that haven't been written about, or who you can get at an affordable price.

Updated Tight End Draft Rankings for Half-PPR Scoring

Ah, the tight end position. Other than the kicker and defenses, the least useful position in fantasy football. But alas, it is a necessary position so we need to look at it. Of course, here we will be talking about typical single-TE leagues with no scoring premium. So, you really have to decide whether or […]

Trent Williams Could Return For Week 2

According to a source, Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams could return as soon as Week 2. Williams has been disgruntled with the team's medical staff and their handling of his injuries, but it appears he's not ready to miss too many game checks in the 2019 regular season. Williams would surely like to be […]
