Washington Redskins 2019 Fantasy Football Projections

In addition to viewing our 2019 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2019 fantasy football projections for the Washington Redskins.

 

QUARTERBACKS

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Dwayne Haskins352.1207.72535.112.328.82248.40.44140.56
It's unclear if Haskins will start Week 1, but it's fairly obvious that he'll start the majority -- if not all -- of the games as a rookie. For now, I've conservatively estimated his starts at 10. Unlike 2018 rookies that had fantasy success (Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson), Haskins is unlikely to make many plays with his legs to give him fantasy relevance (outside of 2-QB leagues) as a rookie.
Case Keenum177.4113.51206.36.214.081868.40.7276.09
With Washington getting their guy at No. 15, Keenum may still get a few early-season starts, but it's unlikely that he holds on to the starting gig for long.

RUNNING BACKS

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Derrius Guice179.9773.65.420.4148.90.41127.11
An ACL injury wiped out Guice's rookie season. Early reports were that Guice's rehab was coming along slower than expected, but Gruden said it was "ahead of schedule." Given how productive Adrian Peterson was last season, it's unlikely that the team rushes Guice back into the mix. I expect the 2018 second-rounder to lead the team in rushing and workload, but AP should be heavily involved in 2019 as well.
Adrian Peterson114.9465.32.875.847.60.1769.53
A surprise 1,000-yard rusher in 2018, Peterson has his sights set on something he did earlier in his career -- rush for 2,000 yards. As unlikely as it is that he (or any running back) rushes for 2,000 yards in 2019, it's certainly possible that he exceeds (the more realistic) expectations that others have for him.
Chris Thompson41176.30.8241.7325.32.0967.62
Playing just 10 games in back-to-back seasons, health will be key for Thompson, but he had finished as a top-30 PPR back in both 2016 and 2017. In fact, he was PPR's 11th-best running back on a per-game basis in 2017. If he can stay healthy, he'll have a chance to return flex value in PPR formats.
Bryce Love2292.40.444.636.30.0916.05

WIDE RECEIVERS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Trey Quinn55.86253.0713.80.0181.36
With Jamison Crowder now a Jet, it's Quinn's job to lose as the team's slot receiver and it wouldn't be a surprise if the second-year wideout led the team (or at least the wide receivers) in targets.
Josh Doctson42.9570.63.6500078.96
Even if listed as the team's No. 1 wide receiver, the former first-round pick has been disappointing enough that the team declined his fifth-year option (2020). With 500-something yards in back-to-back seasons, it's unlikely that number is much better in 2019.
Paul Richardson38.5519.83.2714.50.0172.11
Signing a free-agent deal with Washington after a 44/703/6 season in Seattle, Richardson (shoulder) played in just seven games and posted a 20/262/2 stat line in 2018. Neither Doctson nor Richardson inspire much confidence despite being the top-two outside receivers on the team's depth chart.
Terry McLaurin27.53631.9300047.88
McLaurin is fast (4.35 forty) and played with Dwayne Haskins at Ohio State. That said, the third-rounder is unlikely to make a significant year one impact.
Kelvin Harmon17.9239.91.6100033.65
Not expected to slip to the sixth round of April's draft, Harmon (6-2, 221) has the potential to move his way up the depth chart before season's over.

TIGHT ENDS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Jordan Reed58.5596.74.100084.27
Missing the final three games of the season, Reed has now missed multiple games in all six of his NFL seasons. Even though he stayed healthy for the first 13 games of the year, he wasn't great when he was on the field either. The TE12 (TE9 in PPR) through Week 14, Reed had 54 catches for 558 yards and two touchdowns last year. If he's able to stay healthy-ish (like last season), there's the potential for him to lead the team's pass-catchers in receiving.
Vernon Davis28.4366.41.8500047.74
Given Reed's durability track record, the 35-year-old Davis is likely to be the team's starting tight end in multiple games in 2019. Davis had just 25/367/2 last season, but he had a combined 1,231 yards over the two seasons before that.

2018 Fantasy Football TE Waiver-Wire Options Heading Into Week 15

Every week, we examine players that may be available on your league's waiver wire that could help your team in the short and/or long term.

For a player to be listed, he must be owned in 50 percent (or less) of Yahoo! leagues. The goal is to provide recommendations of players that have a greater chance of being available on your league's waiver wire. Of course, your league's size and settings could significantly impact whether these players (or better options) are available in your particular league(s).

Embed from Getty Images

With that said, here are some tight end waiver-wire options that I like heading into Week 15 (Yahoo! ownership in parenthesis):

[Note: Players listed below are sorted by my preference to add.]

1. Ian Thomas, Carolina Panthers (7 percent)

Leading the Panthers in both receptions (nine) and targets (11), Thomas had 77 yards against the Browns in Week 14. The rookie tight end now has five-plus catches in back-to-back games and should remain a key cog in Carolina's passing attack down the stretch with Greg Olsen on IR.

Unfortunately, he won't get any easy matchups over the rest of the fantasy playoffs. The Panthers face the Saints and Falcons in Weeks 15 and 16, respectively. The Saints have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season.

2. Vernon Davis, Washington Redskins (5 percent)

Assuming that Jordan Reed (foot) sits out Week 15 (and perhaps longer), Davis could become a streaming option down the stretch. The veteran tight end had four catches for 31 yards and a two-point conversion on Sunday. Although the Jaguars have been middle of the road against tight ends this season, they have been more generous of late with six top-12 fantasy performances allowed to tight ends since Week 8.

3. Gerald Everett, Los Angeles Rams (21 percent)

The Bears defense shut down Jared Goff, Todd Gurley and the high-powered Rams offense on Sunday Night Football as Everett finished with just 29 yards. That said, he set season highs in both receptions (four) and targets (seven). Before this week, he finished as a top-12 fantasy tight end in three of his previous four games. Everett remains a high-upside TE2 the rest of the way.

4. Chris Herndon, New York Jets (15 percent)

Herndon had just one catch for 14 yards on two targets in Week 14. Despite the disappointing outing, the rookie from The U. has 24 catches for 312 yards and three touchdowns over the past eight games. Herndon and the Jets face the Texans, who have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season.

5. C.J. Uzomah, Cincinnati Bengals (29 percent)

Given the injuries to Tyler Eifert and A.J. Green, Uzomah could have been more productive this season. Instead he's been solidly mediocre. Uzomah has 33 to 41 yards in four consecutive games and a minimum of three receptions in five consecutive games. The good news is that the Bengals face the Raiders in Week 15 and no team has allowed more fantasy points to the position this season.

6. Blake Jarwin, Dallas Cowboys (0 percent)

There was some optimism and deep sleeper appeal about Jarwin going into the season with Jason Witten retiring and the team releasing Dez Bryant in the offseason. Before this past week, however, Jarwin has failed to exceed 25 receiving yards in any game. Against the Eagles in Week 14, however, Jarwin caught all seven of his targets for 56 yards.

2018 Fantasy Football Projections: Washington Redskins

In addition to viewing our 2018 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the Washington Redskins.

Quarterbacks

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDFLPoints
Alex Smith545.3362.6389922.98.250.3221.31.31.2258.69
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.
Colt McCoy2.71.8190.10.100000.96

Running Backs

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDFLPoints
Chris Thompson78.7369.92.252.4455.93.71.8114.38
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.
Robert Kelley118448.43.75.131.60.3072
Washington added 33-year-old Adrian Peterson on a one-year deal. Based on Peterson's performance last season, it's possible that Kelley (or Perine) handles most of the early-down work still with Derrius Guice on IR.
Adrian Peterson80.8290.93.1754.60.1151.75
Playing a total of 10 games -- four with New Orleans and six with Arizona, it was a disappointing season for the future first-ballot HOFer. In his age-32 season, Peterson averaged just 3.4 YPC. With Derrius Guice (ACL) out for the season, however, there is a chance that Peterson gets sufficient early-down work to become fantasy-relevant in 2018.
Samaje Perine83307.12.45380.20.449.31
Perine is dealing with an ankle injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for at least week. Once the season begins, it's unclear how the work will be allocated between Perine, Kelley and Peterson on early downs.
Kapri Bibbs13.153.10.12.220.20.20.18.93

Wide Receivers

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDFLPoints
Jamison Crowder76.4939.75729.40.11.8123.91
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 Doctson46.4612.56.50000.1100.05
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 Richardson41.1632.94.30000.188.89
Brian Quick9.6126.70.90000.117.87

Tight Ends

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDFLPoints
Jordan Reed67.5688.56.10000.4104.65
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.

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.

Regardless of why he slipped to the middle of Round 2, Guice is arguably the second-most talented running back in this year's rookie class.
