Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the Washington Redskins.
Quarterbacks
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alex Smith | 545.3 | 362.6 | 3899 | 22.9 | 8.2 | 50.3 | 221.3 | 1.3 | 1.2 | 258.69 |
| Setting career highs, Smith threw for 4,042 yards and 26 touchdowns while adding 355 rushing yards last season. Not only was 2017 the first time he finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback, Smith finished as fantasy's QB3 last season. Now in Washington, he takes over for Kirk Cousins, who has finished as a top-eight fantasy quarterback in each of the past three seasons. Since Gruden coached Andy Dalton (QB5) in 2013 as well, he's now coached a QB to a top-eight fantasy finish in four of the past five seasons. | ||||||||||

Running Backs
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chris Thompson | 76.5 | 359.6 | 2.1 | 52.1 | 453.3 | 3.6 | 1.8 | 111.89 |
| The injury to Derrius Guice could open up more early-down opportunities for Thompson as well, but he will continue to handle the majority of the team's third-down snaps. Missing the final six games of the season, Thompson had 294 rushing yards, 39 catches for 510 yards and a total of six touchdowns through 10 games. Through Week 11 (his last game played), Thompson was the RB12 (RB10 in PPR) in fantasy football scoring. | ||||||||
| Samaje Perine | 153 | 566.1 | 4.3 | 9.9 | 75.2 | 0.3 | 0.4 | 90.93 |
| With rookie Derrius Guice (ACL) out for the season, it's possible that Washington either signs a free agent or trades for a running back. If they don't, however, I'd expect Perine to get the majority of carrries on early downs. | ||||||||
| Robert Kelley | 122.4 | 465.1 | 3.7 | 3.4 | 21.1 | 0.2 | 0 | 72.02 |
| Byron Marshall | 32.8 | 124.6 | 0.7 | 3.6 | 25.2 | 0.1 | 0.1 | 19.58 |
| Kapri Bibbs | 28.4 | 115 | 0.3 | 2.2 | 20.2 | 0.2 | 0.1 | 16.32 |

Wide Receivers
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jamison Crowder | 76.4 | 939.7 | 5 | 7 | 29.4 | 0.1 | 1.8 | 123.91 |
| Dealing with a lingering hamstring issue last season, Crowder says he "feel[s] great now." Crowder finished with a 66/789/3 line last season, but Smith and Crowder have demonstrated early rapport that could lead to a true breakout with good health. | ||||||||
| Josh Doctson | 47 | 620.4 | 6.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 101.44 |
| Going into his third season, Doctson has generally underwhelmed but he led the team with six receiving touchdowns last season. Head coach Jay Gruden recently said that Doctson won't put up "eye-popping stats," but that Doctson will be "most dangerous" in the red zone. | ||||||||
| Paul Richardson | 40.8 | 628.3 | 4.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 88.43 |
| Brian Quick | 11.1 | 146.5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 20.45 |
| Maurice Harris | 5.3 | 59.4 | 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 8.14 |
| Trey Quinn | 3.9 | 39.8 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 4.78 |

Tight Ends
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Reed | 68.3 | 696.7 | 6.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 105.47 |
| If he ever puts together a 16-game season, Reed has the potential to lead all tight ends in fantasy points. Unfortunately, he has missed at least four games in four of his five NFL seasons including 10 missed games last season. In his healthiest season (14 games in 2015), Reed had a monster 87/952/11 line. | ||||||||
| Vernon Davis | 33.4 | 427.5 | 2.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.3 | 55.35 |
| Jeremy Sprinkle | 8.9 | 97.9 | 0.8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 14.39 |
