Adrian Peterson, Josh Doctson, Paul Richardson Active

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle, knee, shoulder) and wide receivers Josh Doctson (heel) and Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) are all active in Week 6 against the Panthers. The only healthy pass-catcher, ironically, is tight end Jordan Reed, so he could be in line for a heavy target share. At less than 100 percent, […]

Chris Thompson, Jamison Crowder Ruled Out

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) and wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 6 against the Panthers. The Redskins are extremely banged up on offense this week. With Thompson out, Adrian Peterson, who is also hobbled, will be the main back, but Kapri Bibbs should serve in a […]

Chris Thompson Likely Out Against Panthers

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ribs, knee) will likely miss the Week 6 matchup against Carolina on Sunday. Though running back Adrian Peterson (shoulder/ankle/knee) was a limited participant in practice throughout the week; he is expected to go and monopolize the backfield with fellow running back Kapri Bibbs getting a few touches here and […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 6 Preview

It’s frustrating. I don’t claim to be smarter than NFL executives or general managers. While that would be a dream job, I’m content right here at my computer giving my opinion. With that being said, I would love to be in the coach’s room while they try to justify leaving running backs on the bench […]

Josh Doctson Questionable To Face Panthers

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (heel) is questionable to play in Week 6 against the Panthers. If he does play, he could be limited in his snaps. "Yeah, we're just hoping that when the play presents itself for him to make a big play for us. He's a guy that we have to give […]

Redskins Playmakers All Listed As Questionable

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said running backs Adrian Peterson (ankle, knee, shoulder) and Chris Thompson (rib) and wide receivers Jamison Crowder (ankle) and Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) will all be questionable for Week 6 against the Panthers. For an offense already struggling for production, this is bad news. Richardson looks to be the […]

Sophomore Slumps: Should You Buy Low On Dalvin Cook and Leonard Fournette?

Please oh please can someone go revive Dalvin Cook and Leonard Fournette?

These two sophomore running backs were drafted as early as the back end […]

Wide Receiver Depth Chart Analysis - Week 6

The wide receiver landscape continues to change, with the biggest breakout belonging to Keke Coutee, who appears to have to established a role for himself in Houston regardless of Will Fuller's health. Several of the situations discussed in Week 5's article also played themselves out. Some hit -- see David Moore -- while others fell […]

Revisit Paul Richardson After Week 6

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee) is on the wrong side of a questionable injury status, as his inability to practice so far this week casts doubt on his availability for Sunday's home game against Carolina. If he were a volume-driven PPR mainstay, he'd be worth monitoring. Considering Richardson's relative dependence on big plays, […]

Steer Clear Of Jamison Crowder In Week 6

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder hasn't practiced this week thanks to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 5. With some productive Saints and Lions receivers on byes in Week 6, this comes as discouraging news for fantasy owners considering giving Crowder a run in the flex spot. If he is somehow able to […]

Maurice Harris In Line For Work In Week 6

Washington Redskins wide receiver Maurice Harris finds himself among the team's depth players who could see an increased workload thanks to injuries. If Harris suits up against Carolina in place of Jamison Crowder or Paul Richardson, the opportunity to build on his eight-target Week 5 outing is there for the taking. It's worth noting that […]

Josh Doctson A Desperation Play In Week 6

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson appears set to return to action in Week 6 after missing out on last week's shellacking at the hands of the Saints. If Doctson is indeed active on Sunday against Carolina, he could be in line for an uptick in volume, as fellow wide receivers Jamison Crowder and Paul […]

Keep An Eye On Kapri Bibbs In Week 6

Washington Redskins running back Kapri Bibbs stands to benefit from a multitude of injuries on Sunday against the Panthers. With Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson limited in practice this week, Bibbs is the next man up. It would likely take at least one of Peterson or Thompson being declared inactive for Bibbs to see any […]

Chris Thompson Could See Volume If Healthy

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ribs) is one of several skill position players coming off an injury heading into Sunday's bout with the Panthers.

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson has been battling a shoulder injury since Monday night, and his status for Week 6 remains up in the air.

High Volume Coming Jordan Reed's Way

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed is the only starting pass-catcher on the team without an injury to monitor heading into Week 6. With so many of Alex Smith's weapons hampered by a wide array of health concerns, Reed could be in for a big day simply by process of elimination. Of course, this could […]
