Week 3 Consistency Reports - All Positions

Assessing consistency after two weeks of the season is always tough but in a 16-game season we have already seen an eighth of it. Therefore, looking at how players have started the season is still useful. It may not be a predictor of long-term fantasy consistency but it does give us an impression of who […]

Redskins Release Breshad Perriman

The Washington Redskins released wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Saturday, according to a source. However, the team could bring him back in the future. Perriman was a first-round bust with the Ravens and has failed to catch on elsewhere so far. He is well off the fantasy radar and is highly unlikely to produce at […]

Ahead of The Game - College Devy Prospects (Week 4 Edition)

And it's a good time to hold onto those memories as we approach week four. Week four is typically not the best slate of games from a competitive stand […]

Alex Smith Faces Favorable Matchup In Week 3

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith heads into Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers facing a very favorable matchup. The Packers pass defense ranks 26th in the NFL through two games, yielding 283.5 yards per game with four touchdowns. They have also given up nine pass plays of 20 or more yards and one pass […]

Jamison Crowder Looks To Break Out Of Funk

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder looks to snap out of his early-season funk with a big game in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers. So far, Crowder has been lost in the offensive plan, racking up just five receptions for 40 yards on eight targets, including a dismal eight yards on two grabs […]

Adrian Peterson Could Shine In Week 3

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson heads into Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers with just 3.1 yards per rush on 37 attempts. He was terrible last week against the Indianapolis Colts at home, but popped in the regular season opener and his only game on the road so far. The Packers have yielded […]

Paul Richardson, Zach Brown Questionable

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder), receiver Maurice Harris (concussion) and linebacker Zach Brown (oblique) are all questionable for Week 3 against the Packers. Richardson and Brown were limited in practice on Friday, while Harris practiced in full. Richardson should be able to play but hasn't made much noise in the first two […]

Sleeping in Seattle - Is Russell Wilson No Longer a QB1?

The thing about writing a "bold predictions" article is that you're essentially going 20 percent on data and 80 percent on gut instincts, so when I wrote a few weeks ago that Russell Wilson would finish outside of the top 10 at the quarterback position I definitely felt like there was a chance of it […]

Warning Signals - RB / WR / TE

Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season.

Paul Richardson Undergoes MRI

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee) underwent an MRI exam on his knee, but it came back negative. Richardson has been beat up this year already, which is perhaps why the team signed two receivers this week. He has eight catches on 12 targets for 85 yards through two weeks but is more of […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 3

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 3)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Redskins Signing Michael Floyd

The Washington Redskins are signing free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd on Monday, according to a source. Washington clearly isn't happy with the production they are getting from Jamison Crowder, Josh Doctson and Paul Richardson, so they are bringing in some competition/depth. They also added former first-rounder Breshad Perriman on Monday. Floyd didn't make final cuts […]

Paxton Lynch Works Out For Redskins

Free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch, along with wide receiver Breshad Perriman, were among four or five players the Washington Redskins brought in for a workout on Monday. Lynch has garnered tryouts from several teams since being released by Denver prior to the start of the 2018 regular season. In five career games, the 2016 first-round draft […]

Redskins Signing Breshad Perriman

The Washington Redskins are signing free-agent wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Monday, according to a source. Perriman proved to be a first-round bust after catching 43 passes for 576 yards and three touchdowns after being taken in the 2015 draft for the Ravens. He's unlikely to become fantasy relevant and will be buried on Washington's […]

Breshad Perriman Working Out With Redskins

Free-agent wide receiver Breshad Perriman is working out for the Washington Redskins on Monday, according to a source. Perriman was a first-round bust with the Ravens and hasn't found a job yet on the open market. He'd be buried on the depth chart in Washington if he were to sign there. Perriman is a long […]

Tyrod Taylor (QB, CLE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor did not have a stellar performance in Week 2 (246 passing yards one TD, one INT), but he outproduced other QBs outside the top-14 like Alex Smith, Case Keenum and Derek Carr. If you stream the QB position, at least you know […]

Paul Richardson Active Against Colts

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (shoulder) is active for Week 2 against the Colts. Wide receiver Maurice Harris and running back Samaje Perine are out.
