Week 2 Lineup Questions - Fantasy Football Pop Quiz

I tend to abide by a pretty simple rule when it comes to drafting players; unless something is unexpectedly wrong with them, I don't make a lot of shifts between Weeks 1 and 2 (or through Week 3, for that matter.) If you drafted Mike Williams and he didn't get as much target share as […]

NFL DFS for Week 2: DraftKings Power Pivots

Josh Doctson Expected To See More Targets In Week 2

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson could see more targets on Sunday, especially if fellow receiver Paul Richardson (shoulder) is unable to go against the Indianapolis Colts. Doctson had just one catch on three targets for 11 yards last week despite playing 70 of the 79 offensive snaps. However, with Richardson dealing with the injury, […]

Jordan Reed Is A Must-Start In Week 2

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed is one of the best tight ends in the game when he is healthy. But staying healthy has been a problem for the 28-year-old throughout his career. The sixth-year pro has appeared in just 53 of 81 career games, which includes missing 14 games over the last two seasons. Reed […]

Jamison Crowder Looks For Better Production

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder heads into the Week 2 game against the Indianapolis Colts looking for more production.

It wasn't all […]

[…]

Washington Redskins wide receiver Jamison Crowder will be the team's main punt returner starting in Week 2 when the 'Skins face the Indianapolis Colts.

Paul Richardson, Maurice Harris Are Questionable

Washington Redskins wide receivers Paul Richardson (shoulder) and Maurice Harris (concussion) are both listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Colts.
