Carson Wentz - Dynasty Dud or Buy-Low?

Coming into last season, Carson Wentz was high on the list of dynasty quarterbacks.

Vernon Davis, Maurice Harris Ruled Out

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) and wide receiver Maurice Harris (concussion) have been ruled out for Week 16 against the Titans on Saturday after initially being questionable. It further weakens an already extremely thin offense that is using Josh Johnson as the starting quarterback. With both Davis and Jordan Reed (toe) out, Jeremy […]

Jordan Reed Ruled Out For Week 16

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (toe) has been ruled out for the second straight week in Week 16 against the Titans.

Colt McCoy Hopes To Play In Season Finale

Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy (leg) is still hoping to play in the Week 17 season finale against the Eagles despite suffering a broken fibula 27 days ago, according to a source. With Washington's season basically over, it makes no sense for the Redskins to throw McCoy out there too soon. We'd be pretty surprised […]

Jordan Reed Absent From Practice

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (toe) is missing practice for the second straight day on Wednesday. Reed missed the game last week and seems primed to finish the 2018 season on the sidelines given his extensive injury history, especially with his feet. Reed never got on the same page with quarterback Alex Smith this […]

No Practice For Jordan Reed Tuesday

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (ankle, foot) remained sidelined during practice on Tuesday. Reed didn't play in Week 15 and seems unlikely to suit up on Saturday against the Titans.
