Paul Richardson An Unsafe Play In Week 7
Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson has been the lone bright spot in an otherwise dormant collection of teammates at the position. Unfortunately, his status for Sunday's game against the Cowboys appears undecided as he deals with a knee injury. Even if Richardson is able to suit up, his potential to exploit a tough Cowboys […]
Josh Doctson Still Not On The Fantasy Radar
Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson will take his pedestrian eight-catch, 68-yard season totals into a Week 7 matchup with a Cowboys defense that hasn't been kind to his position. Opposing wide receivers have averaged just 10.5 catches per game against the Cowboys, a number good for second lowest in the NFL. Alex Smith already […]
Jordan Reed Has Tough Matchup Against Cowboys
Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed has had a tough time breaking through so far in 2018. He's only surpassed the 50-yard mark twice, and his lone touchdown came all the way back in Week 1. Unfortunately for his fantasy owners, another frustrating week could be on the way against a Dallas defense surrendering just […]
Chris Thompson Has High Floor If Active
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson is still navigating his way through injury concerns that held him out of last week's game. If he suits up against Dallas on Sunday, he could be in line for a ton of passing-game work out of the backfield. The Cowboys have stifled opposing wide receivers this season, allowing […]
Adrian Peterson A Solid Play In Week 7
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson may be entirely dependent on volume for his fantasy value, but he has done an excellent job capitalizing on it when it comes his way. Peterson has rushed the ball 17 or more times in three games this season, and in those games he has racked up 313 yards […]
Alex Smith A Risky Streaming Option In Week 7
Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith has yet to throw for 300 yards or more than two touchdowns in a game this season. His next opponent is a Cowboys defense allowing just 225 passing yards per game to go with seven total passing touchdowns, so it's not exactly a safe bet Smith breaks either threshold in […]
Jehu Chesson Added To Active Roster
The Washington Redskins promoted wide receiver Jehu Chesson from the practice squad to the active roster on Thursday with Jamison Crowder (ankle) expected to be out for a few weeks. Paul Richardson (knee) is also highly questionable for Week 7 against the Cowboys, meaning Josh Doctson and Maurice Harris could be the team's top two […]
Paul Richardson Having Knee Evaluated
Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee) is having his knee evaluated by doctors, but he is not undergoing an MRI exam. The injury doesn't appear to be too serious, but Richardson is in danger of having to miss Week 7 against the Cowboys. With Jamison Crowder (ankle) already expected to miss his second straight […]
Adrian Peterson Back At Practice Thursday
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle, shoulder) was limited in practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. Peterson should be fine to play in Week 7 against the Cowboys after fighting through nagging injuries the last two weeks. He'll be a volume-based RB2 with a potentially limited ceiling with Chris Thompson (rib, knee) […]
No Practice For Paul Richardson, Jamison Crowder
Washington Redskins wide receivers Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) and Jamison Crowder (ankle) sat out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. While Crowder could return to practice on Friday, he remains iffy to play in Week 7 against the Cowboys. Richardson missed two practices last week and still played, so he has a […]

Chris Thompson Limited Wednesday
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Thompson sat out in Week 6 but could return to face the division-rival Cowboys this Sunday. If he does, he'll remain in play as an RB3/flex in PPR leagues as the team's pass-catching back. Thompson's return would also slightly […]
Adrian Peterson, Jamison Crowder, Paul Richardson Sit Out
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle, knee, shoulder) and wide receivers Jamison Crowder (ankle) and Paul Richardson (knee) all sat out of practice on Wednesday. Peterson has been banged up for a few weeks now but continues to play. He'll remain a high-volume RB2, but his ceiling will be lowered a bit with the […]
Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions
Last week it was the vulture, this week it's the no-names. The phrase "that doesn't help anybody" is well-known by fantasy owners and was uttered repeatedly in Week 7. We saw touchdowns from Marcus Johnson, David Moore, Jaron Brown, Paul Richardson, Ito Smith, Erik Swoope, Chris Herndon IV, and Nick O'Leary. That was just in […]
Week 7 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
You’ll notice that some of the same names tend to make their way into this article for multiple weeks. I try to mix it up as much as possible, but I do feel the need to mention guys multiple times, because if you didn’t grab them when they first appeared in this article, time is […]
Week 7 Tight Ends - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
There will be a lot of familiar tight ends missing this week. Fantasy football owners will be without Jimmy Graham, Jared Cook, Vance McDonald and Jesse James for Week 7 due to four teams being in bye, so waiver wires will be seriously scoured in leagues for available tight ends. The problem is that there […]
Waiver Wire Express - Week 7 Lightning Round
As a resident of New England, football Sundays and autumn weather just makes for a beautiful combination. Another great combo is RotoBaller’s waiver-wire workforce and winning. We’re always looking to get you the swiftest intel to act on, so consider this the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 7. This column is published early […]
Deeper Sleepers Heading Into Week 7
Apologies for not telling you to add fantasy superstars Nick O'Leary, David Moore, and Brock Osweiller last week. Clearly I have failed you as a fantasy football writer. I am not worthy of your page views. I'm speaking sarcastically, of course. Those were just three of the names that make you roll your eyes and […]
Vernon Davis (TE, WSH) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I love old folks. I love my stepgrandmother. She is 92 years young and does not look a day over 70, and she has more sense and vigor than many of my much-younger friends. Maybe this is why I have an affinity for Washington […]
Chris Thompson Day-To-Day
Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) is considered day-to-day, but it's unknown what his practice workload will be like early in the week. Thompson missed the Week 6 win over the Panthers, but the 'Skins could surely use him back with wideout Jamison Crowder looking unlikely to play for the second straight game. […]
Jamison Crowder In Danger Of Missing Week 7
Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) is not expected to practice at all this week until at least Friday "for sure," according to head coach Jay Gruden. That means that Crowder is probably already on the wrong side of questionable for Week 7 against the Cowboys after missing Week 6. Many folks pegged Crowder […]
Week 6 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis
The San Francisco 49ers (1-4) have faced the Green Bay Packers (2-2-1) a total of 15 times over the past 20 seasons... They're 5-10 over those 15 games. Of those 15 matchups, eight were played at Lambeau Field... San Fran is 2-6 over those eight. Now I get it, this Monday Night Football matchup will […]
Paul Richardson (WR, WAS) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though the Redskins were beat up on offense against the Panthers on Sunday they were still able to come away with a victory. If running back Chris Thompson and wide receiver Jamison Crowder miss more time, then you want to own some Paul Richardson shares. Jordan Reed and Vernon […]
Paul Richardson Scores Against Panthers
Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson caught his second touchdown of the season on Sunday against the Panthers. He finished with three catches for 31 yards on five total targets. Washington's corps of wide receivers has been largely unimpressive to start the season, but Richardson is establishing himself as the one to look for in […]
Adrian Peterson Shows Toughness Against Panthers
Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson stepped up on Sunday with Chris Thompson absent from the team's backfield. It was unclear coming into the game how effective Peterson would be coming off an injury in Week 5, but the Redskins needed a workhorse back and he didn't disappoint, carrying the ball 17 times for 97 […]
Vernon Davis Catches Touchdown Against Panthers
Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis hauled in a 22-yard touchdown catch on Sunday against Carolina. He finished with a team-high 48 receiving yards and caught all three of his targets. As far as his fantasy value going forward, it's probably best to look at Sunday's performance as an outlier. Outside of Sunday's game and […]
Josh Doctson Continues To Be A Non-Factor
Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson caught three of six balls thrown his way for 20 yards on Sunday against Carolina. His full line for the season is now eight receptions for 68 yards and no touchdowns. Moreover, he has hauled in less than half of his 19 targets. Doctson stood to see more opportunities […]
Alex Smith Serviceable In Week 6
Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith salvaged a relatively unimpressive game against the Panthers with two passing touchdowns. His final line for the day was 21 completions on 36 attempts, for 163 yards and two touchdowns. This marks the third consecutive game in which Smith finished with a completion percentage of 60 or lower after starting […]
Jordan Reed Unproductive Against Panthers
Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed led the team in targets and receptions in Sunday's victory over the Panthers. Much to the dismay of his fantasy investors, that did not translate into a productive day. Reed finished with five catches for 36 yards and did not find the endzone, rendering him nothing more than serviceable […]
