Paul Richardson Sits Out Team's Third Preseason Game

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson did not play on Thursday against the Falcons due to a quadriceps injury, per Redskins.com. Richardson has not been utilized in any of the Redskins three preseason games to this point and with the fourth contest traditionally serving as a last stand for fringe 53-man roster hopefuls, he might […]

Jordan Reed Might Have Concussion

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed exited Thursday's preseason game due to injury, and was subsequently evaluated for a concussion, per an NFL.com report. Reed's injury borders on uncanny, as his otherwise good health leading up to it has been one of the more positive stories from Washington's camp. From a human standpoint, you just […]

Case Keenum Has Solid Outing Thursday

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum completed nine of 14 passes for 101 yards in Thursday night's preseason game. He also lost a fumble, but from a passing standpoint it was his best performance of the preseason. Keenum has probably shown just enough to fend off Dwayne Haskins for the Week 1 starting job. It's worth […]

Second-Year Players That Will Surge

Rookie players don't always pan out in the NFL and in fantasy football. Sometimes it takes a great landing spot or an injury for a rookie to become relevant early on. This list includes some second-year players that either disappointed in 2018 or did okay, but look to take a step forward in 2019. The […]

Stop that Hype Train! Derrius Guice

The Washington Redskins are a team that looks to be devoid of fantasy options that get owners clambering over each other to select. Currently, there are a number of question marks over the offense- far more questions than answers in fact. However, that doesn't seem to have stopped the hype around Derrius Guice who is […]

Derrius Guice Impressive In First Preseason Action

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice finally got onto the field in the team's third preseason game Thursday, and he showed fantasy owners what they've been looking for. He rushed 11 times for 44 yards and hauled in his only target. Simply having been medically cleared to participate is a massive step in the right […]

Chris Thompson Gets Some Run On Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson carried the ball three times for 20 yards on Thursday night, with a 16-yard scamper accounting for most of that total. He was also targeted three times in the passing game, hauling in two of them. It's not much, but just about any usage at all was going to […]

Top Running Back Targets for Zero RB Drafters

Zero RB discussion comes and goes every season, it certainly works in theory. Running backs are injured more often than wide receivers, and that means you are better to spend your high draft capital on elite wide receiver talent, then pick up your running backs later (try and pick several to give you more opportunity […]

Stop That Hype Train! Rashaad Penny

The Seattle Seahawks enter 2019 with high expectations for themselves. They bring back a majority of their offense from 2018 except wide receiver Doug Baldwin and running back Mike Davis. The biggest addition is second-round draft pick, D.K. Metcalf, a wide receiver out of Ole Miss. This is an offense that struggled to move the ball […]

Paul Richardson, Trey Quinn Unlikely To Play Thursday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn (thumb) will not play in the preseason game on Thursday against the Falcons, while wide receiver Paul Richardson (quadriceps) will "probably not" play either. Richardson played in just seven games and caught 20 passes for 262 yards and two touchdowns in his first year in D.C. He continues to […]

Wide Receiver PPR Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts

With the NFL season almost officially upon us, the RotoBaller team has compiled our fantasy football staff rankings for 2019, and it's time to look at our wide receivers! Just like everything within the game of fantasy football, there are ebbs and flows within the industry when it comes to basic strategy. Part of your goal as an […]

Don't Sleep on These Quarterbacks

Take’em high and let’em fly. Sit and wait. These are both options to play when looking at the quarterback position in fantasy football. Is the high draft pick used on Patrick Mahomes worth it when looking at who else you could have taken? If you think so, then this article is not for you. But […]

Running Back PPR Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts

If you have one of the top-three picks in a draft this season, consider yourself very fortunate. Those are enviable spots, where you get the unique opportunity to select one of the three very best superstar running backs. Once those guys are off the board, you progressively start to deal with more and more question […]

Derrius Guice Expected To Play Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice (knee) is expected to play in the preseason game against the Falcons on Thursday, but it'll likely be his only preseason action, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Guice tore his ACL and missed his entire rookie season and had several setbacks along the way in his recovery. Washington […]

Colt McCoy Out Of QB Competition

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that quarterback Colt McCoy (leg) could miss multiple weeks of the regular season after having three follow-up surgeries this offseason on his broken leg. That leaves Case Keenum and rookie Dwayne Haskins to split the repetitions. Keenum is probably the favorite, but he's been erratic in camp. Haskins […]

Robert Davis Making Preseason Targets Count

Washington Redskins wide receiver Robert Davis has been targeted thrice in two preseason games thus far. He's hauled in two of them, and both resulted in touchdowns of 46 and 55 yards. As unsustainable a success rate as this is, no positive performance from a Redskins wideout should be dismissed by the coaching staff. Their […]

Kelvin Harmon Not Getting Much Run In Preseason

Washington Redskins wide receiver Kelvin Harmon has been targeted five times in the team's first two exhibition contests, hauling in two of them for 17 yards. The Redskins were without both Trey Quinn and Terry McLaurin in the most recent outing, with Josh Doctson seeing minimal playing time as well, so it's at least a […]

Vernon Davis Still In The Mix

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis might be getting up there in age, but he's still vying for a spot on the roster. That's not going to be a particularly fantasy-relevant roster spot, however, as the backup tight end in Washington will be used sparingly. If there is even a glimmer of fantasy potential for […]

Jeremy Sprinkle Seeing Modest Volume In Preseason

Washington Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle enters 2019 in a competition with Vernon Davis for the backup tight end role. He has seen four targets and caught two of them for 13 yards in the preseason. This role is highly unlikely to provide any fantasy value, as even first-string tight end Jordan Reed was largely […]

Trey Quinn Back At Practice Sunday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn was held out of last week's preseason game, but he returned to practice on Sunday. Quinn will likely enter Week 1 as the Redskins' slot receiver, providing him with intriguing fantasy potential in PPR leagues. Regardless of who earns the starting QB job for Week 1, the Redskins don't […]

Terry McLaurin Practices On Sunday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin missed Thursday's preseason game with a tailbone injury, but he returned to practice Sunday. McLaurin has yet to factor into either of the Redskins' first two exhibitions, but early reports on his training camp performances have caused some intrigue as to what he can do in game action. McLaurin […]

Dustin Hopkins A Dicey Fantasy Kicker

Washington Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins has missed a field goal and an extra point this preseason, with one made FG and two successful PATs. While this is hardly a sample size worth reading into, there are a few other factors that stand to negatively impact his fantasy value in 2019. The Redskins will play all […]

Case Keenum Must Solidify Starting Role In Preseason Week 3

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum is probably going to be named the Week 1 starter, but he hasn't closed the door on rookie Dwayne Haskins yet. Keenum has completed just seven of 16 pass attempts this preseason, good for a 43.8% completion rate. Keenum's advantage over Haskins is that he brings experience to a team […]

Josh Doctson Not Being Heavily Featured In Preseason

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson has seen just one target in the team's first two preseason games thus far. This isn't anything new, as projected veteran starters are routinely eased into action, so it isn't worth reading much into. Still, Doctson doesn't have the shiniest track record of production as Washington's number-one wide receiver, […]

Redskins Taking Their Time With Jordan Reed

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed has predictably not been featured in either of the team's two preseason games, as his health is a far higher priority than seeing what he's capable of on the field. All things appear just fine on the health front, though, as Reed came into 2019 training camp without lingering […]

Samaje Perine Not Making Waves In Preseason

Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine has carried the ball 11 times for 14 total yards in two preseason games. The fact that he has been slightly more utilized than Byron Marshall might indicate Washington's preference between the two, but his near-total ineffectiveness can't be doing him any favors as he seeks out the fourth […]

Byron Marshall Ineffective Thus Far In Preseason

Washington Redskins running back Byron Marshall entered 2019 training camp vying for the fourth slot on the depth chart. In two preseason games, he has carried the ball six times for 19 total yards. He did add an 11-yard reception to his tally in Thursday's contest, but his output is not indicative of a player […]

Chris Thompson Seeing Limited Preseason Action

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson has received just one touch so far in preseason action. His limited involvement could be interpreted simply as precautionary, as he spent much of last season injured. On the other hand, for a guy whose fantasy value is limited to begin with as a third-down back, you'd like to […]

Dwayne Haskins Keeping Pace In QB Battle

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins has completed 15 of 28 passes for 231 yards, a touchdown, and two picks in two games of preseason action. He has been on the field more than veteran Case Keenum. While it figures that the Washington coaching staff would prefer to get the rookie as many reps as possible […]

Must-Own PPR Wide Receivers with Late ADP

Some fantasy football players make a mistake in their draft preparation by not putting more of an emphasis into the latter stages of a draft. Sure, there is a possibility that some of your longshot selections might not be on your roster by Week 3, but why not give yourself a chance to strike gold […]
