QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Carson Wentz	515.2	319.9	3632.2	22.67	9.79	48	182.4	1.2	241.83
Taylor Heinicke	37.8	24.3	260.8	1.55	0.98	6.2	29.8	0.19	18.79
Sam Howell	29.1	17.8	209.5	1.11	0.79	5	18	0.1	13.64

Carson Wentz: About to play for his third team in as many seasons, Wentz is coming off a solid, if not spectacular, season. His TD% (5.2) and INT% (1.4) were both the second-best of his career. While he averaged a career-low 209.6 passing yards per game, he also threw a career-low 30.35 pass attempts per game in Indianapolis' run-first offense. His passing volume should increase in Washington, but can he maintain his efficient 27-to-seven TD-INT ratio?

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Antonio Gibson	194.2	844.8	5.92	32.6	246.2	1.3	168.72
J.D. McKissic	50.3	221.3	1.13	52.5	414.4	2.6	112.2
Brian Robinson Jr.	91.4	393	2.47	9.1	69.7	0.4	68.04
Jonathan Williams	43	182.8	1.08	2.2	16.4	0.1	28.1

Antonio Gibson: Gibson had 258 carries for 1,037 yards and seven touchdowns and added 42 receptions for 294 yards and three touchdowns in 2021, but he also lost four fumbles last season as well. It appeared that Brian Robinson Jr. was going to supplant Gibson for early-down work before before being shot multiple times in an attempted robbery. The unfortunate incident means that Gibson will once again handle the bulk of early-down work, by default, for at least as long as Robinson is sidelined.

J.D. McKissic: While he missed six games last season, McKissic has 123 receptions, 163 targets and 986 receiving yards in 27 games as a Commander. Even if he's third in line for carries, he has stand-alone value, especially in PPR formats.

Brian Robinson Jr.: The Commanders used a third-round pick on Robinson, who ran for 1,343 yards and 16 touchdowns for Alabama last season. While he had appeared to leapfrog Antonio Gibson on the depth chart, Robinson will start the season on the reserve/NFI list and miss at least the first four games of the season although his timeline remains unclear.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Terry McLaurin	80	1089.2	6.1	1.1	9.9	0.06	186.87
Jahan Dotson	53.4	681	4.1	1.8	11.7	0.07	120.99
Curtis Samuel	38.9	465.6	3	16	102.4	0.8	99.05
Dyami Brown	17.7	235.9	1.6	0	0	0	42.04
Cam Sims	10	127.2	0.9	0	0	0	23.12
Dax Milne	2.5	30.8	0.2	0	0	0	5.53

Terry McLaurin: In spite of Washington's mediocre quarterback play, McLaurin has averaged a 17-game pace of 82/1,142/6 through his first three NFL seasons. The former third-round pick has outplayed his draft pedigree, which has led to a contract extension, but he goes into 2022 with questionable quarterback play again.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Logan Thomas	40.7	484.1	3.4	89.16
John Bates	17.7	192.8	1.3	35.93
Cole Turner	2.7	28.7	0.3	6.02
Armani Rogers	2	20.5	0.1	3.65

Logan Thomas: Thomas tore his ACL in December and missed a total of 11 games in 2021. In his other season in Washington, the converted college quarterback finished with 72 catches for 670 yards and six touchdowns. When he's on the field, he's been nearly an every-snap player. Even if he isn't ready for Week 1, "the expectation is that he'll return for Week 2 at the latest."

Jaret Patterson	22.4	95.2	0.59	2.2	16.4	0.1	16.4

Antonio Gibson: Gibson had 258 carries for 1,037 yards and seven touchdowns and added 42 receptions for 294 yards and three touchdowns in 2021, but he also lost four fumbles last season as well. Not only did the Commanders re-sign J.D. McKissic to a two-year contract, but they used a third-round pick on Alabama's Brian Robinson Jr. With the Commanders use of McKissic on third downs and Robinson in short-yardage situations, Gibson's workload is almost guaranteed to be scaled back from last year's 300 touches.

J.D. McKissic: While he missed six games last season, McKissic has 123 receptions, 163 targets and 986 receiving yards in 27 games as a Commander. Even if he's third in line for carries behind Gibson and Robinson, he has some stand-alone value, especially in PPR formats.

Brian Robinson Jr.: Like with Gibson (in 2020), the Commanders used a third-round pick on Robinson, who ran for 1,343 yards and 16 touchdowns for Alabama last season.

Logan Thomas: Thomas tore his ACL in December and missed a total of 11 games in 2021. In his other season in Washington, the converted college quarterback finished with 72 catches for 670 yards and six touchdowns. Thomas has appeared in 97% or more of the snaps in 11 of his past 15 games. Two of four games with sub-97% snap rates during that span were games in which he sustained what would become a multi-week injury. When he's on the field, he's nearly an every-snap player, but it's still unclear if he'll be ready for Week 1.

Fantasy Football Week 3 RB Waiver Wire

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 rostered 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).

So that means that players like Tony Pollard (53% rostered) will be excluded from our list due to our self-imposed restrictions, but he's clearly worth adding in your league whether you roster Ezekiel Elliott or not.

With that said, here are some running back waiver-wire options to consider heading into Week 3 (Yahoo! % rostered in parenthesis):

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

1. James White, New England Patriots (42%)

Once again, White appears on this list.

In his two final seasons playing with Tom Brady (2018-2019), White had a minimum of 95 targets, 72 receptions and 645 receiving yards each season. Through two games with Mac Jones, White is on pace to better those numbers.

White now has six receptions in back-to-back games and has a total of 32 rushing yards and a touchdown plus 12 receptions for 94 yards on 13 targets. Heading into Monday Night Football, White is fantasy's RB14 (half-PPR) and the RB9 in full PPR formats.

2. Michael Carter, New York Jets (50%)

The UNC rookie generated positive buzz early in camp despite beginning the season as part of an uninspiring three-headed RBBC. Based on talent, it wouldn't be surprising if Carter emerged as an RB3/flex option at some point during the season.

In a game where there were very few bright spots, Carter averaged more than five yards per carry as he gained 59 yards on 11 carries and added a couple of receptions for 29 yards. Through two games, here are the team's running back touches: Carter (18), Ty Johnson (17) and Tevin Coleman (14). Johnson had 12 carries for 50 yards on Sunday.

The Jets have a difficult matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 3, but they face softer matchups in Weeks 4 (Tennessee Titans) and 5 (Atlanta Falcons).

3. J.D. McKissic, Washington Football Team (29%)

McKissic was a non-factor in Week 1 (one carry for eight yards), but the usage was much better in Week 2. Not only did he haul in five catches for 83 yards on six targets, but he added 10 rushing yards and a score as well.

Antonio Gibson had five targets in Week 1, but he only had two in Week 2. That's clearly frustrating for those that roster Gibson, but McKissic is one of the league's best receiving backs and only Alvin Kamara (83) had more receptions than McKissic (80) in 2020.

4. Cordarrelle Patterson, Atlanta Falcons (13%)

A RB/WR hybrid in fantasy, Patterson now has seven carries in back-to-back games. Even though he gained only 11 yards on his seven carries this week, he added five catches for 58 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns against the Buccaneers.

Mike Davis has had at least 16 touches in each of the team's first two games this season, but C-Patt has a total of 21 touches through two weeks. With Wayne Gallman a healthy scratch, the only other back to get touches this season has been Keith Smith (seven).

On his fifth team since entering the league in 2015, Davis has career averages of 3.7 YPC and 6.5 Y/R. Through his first two games as a Falcon, he's averaging just 3.63 YPC and 4.8 Y/R. Patterson may never be the team's RB1 as long as Davis is healthy, but if he continues to be much more efficient than Davis, it's not an impossibility either.

5. Peyton Barber, Las Vegas Raiders (10%)

As uncomfortable as I'd be having to start Barber, the journeyman back handled the bulk of early-down opportunities in the absence of Josh Jacobs in Week 2. If Jacobs isn't available in Week 3, it's possible that Barber sees another 10-15 carries. Jon Gruden has called Jacobs "very questionable" for Week 3.

Fantasy Football Projections 2021: Washington Football Team

Our 2021 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2021 fantasy football projections for the Washington Football Team.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Ryan Fitzpatrick	592.3	383.8	4412.6	26.36	17.47	49.7	218.7	1.81	279.73
Taylor Heinicke	48	30	333.6	2.06	1.54	7	32.9	0.21	23.05

Ryan Fitzpatrick: While I project WFT to draft a QB in the first round of my 2022 NFL Mock Draft, the fact that they didn't add any competition in this year's draft for Fitzpatrick makes him one of my favorite late-round streamers at the position. Meanwhile, Washington upgraded their receiving corps by signing Curtis Samuel and Adam Humphries and drafting Dyami Brown in the third round.

Taylor Heinicke: Fitzpatrick's propensity to turn the ball over could eventually lead to a starting stint for Heinicke at some point during the season.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Antonio Gibson	231.8	1054.7	9.85	42.6	374.9	2.1	235.96
J.D. McKissic	63.5	273.1	1.11	50.1	405.8	2.6	115.2
Jaret Patterson	44.2	192.3	1.33	3.3	28.5	0.2	32.91

Antonio Gibson: Before suffering a turf toe injury early in his Week 13 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Gibson had a five-game stretch where he performed as fantasy's RB5, RB11, RB8, RB7 and RB2, respectively. Even without adjusting for Washington's Week 8 bye, only Dalvin Cook and Derrick Henry scored more fantasy points during that stretch.

Gibson has tremendous upside in his second season as WFT is "trying to push" Gibson into a "similar role" as Christian McCaffrey, per backup quarterback Kyle Allen.

J.D. McKissic: McKissic ranked top three on the team in receptions (80), targets (110) and receiving yards (589) in 2020 and only Alvin Kamara (83) had more receptions among running backs. With a quarterback less likely to check down and Gibson's ability as a receiver (and potentially increased target share), there will likely be much fewer opportunities for McKissic in 2021.

Jaret Patterson: Generating positive buzz in camp and stringing together two strong preseason performances, Patterson pushed Peyton Barber out for a roster spot and would be Gibson's primary handcuff if he were to miss time.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Terry McLaurin	91	1245.9	7.2	2.1	15.8	0.11	215.53
Curtis Samuel	63.3	730.9	4.3	21.2	139.9	1.7	154.73
Dyami Brown	35	515	3.1	0	0	0	87.6
Adam Humphries	44.5	484.1	2.7	0	0	0	86.86
Cam Sims	8.3	123.4	0.8	0.6	3	0.01	21.65
DeAndre Carter	1.4	19	0.1	0	0	0	3.2
Dax Milne	1.2	14.2	0.1	0	0	0	2.62

Terry McLaurin: While the team's quarterback play hasn't done him many favors, McLaurin managed to set career highs with 87 catches and 1,118 yards in his second season. While his Y/R dipped from 15.8 to 12.9, he set career highs in YPG (74.5) and catch rate (64.9%). Even though WFT didn't draft a QB in April, signing Ryan Fitzpatrick in free agency boosts McLaurin's outlook and puts him squarely in the WR1 (top 12) mix.

Curtis Samuel: Across scoring formats, Samuel was a top-25 receiver in 2020 despite playing with D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson, both of whom outscored Samuel in half-PPR formats. Samuel set career highs in receptions (77), receiving yards (851) and rushing yards (200) in 2020. Sliding in as WFT's WR2 behind Terry McLaurin, Samuel is once again a viable WR3/flex in fantasy, when healthy. That said, it's unclear whether Samuel, who is expected to return to practice on Monday, will be ready for Week 1.

Dyami Brown: WFT drafted Brown in the third round, but he may start the season fourth on the WR depth chart behind McLaurin, Samuel and (possibly) Adam Humphries. He's a better option in dynasty leagues than re-draft.

Adam Humphries: Given their built-in chemistry from their time together in Tampa, Humphries was "easily ... [Fitzpatrick's] favorite target" early in training camp. Even so, he's likely to finish third (at best) or fourth among the team's receivers in fantasy points.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Logan Thomas	62.1	688.2	4.5	3.2	11.2	0.03	128.17
John Bates	4.3	45.1	0.3	0	0	0	8.46
Ricky Seals-Jones	3.7	40.3	0.3	0	0	0	7.68
Sammis Reyes	2.9	30.9	0.2	0	0	0	5.74

Logan Thomas: Thomas was the only tight end in the league to have a minimum of four targets in every game last season. While he was consistent throughout the season, he was especially productive down the stretch.

From Weeks 6 to 17, Thomas scored the third-most fantasy points with 58 receptions (third-most), 564 yards (third-most) and five touchdowns (tied fifth-most) amongst tight ends. Thomas enters 2021 as my favorite mid-tier TE1 even though the team bolstered its receiving corps via the draft and free agency.

Gibson has tremendous upside in his second season as WFT is "trying to push" Gibson into a "similar role" as Christian McCaffrey, per backup quarterback Kyle Allen has said. Of course, the counterpoint is that Gibson had zero third-down snaps in the team's first preseason game as well.

While his Y/R dipped to 12.9 from 15.8, he set career highs in YPG (74.5) and catch rate (64.9%).

Adam Humphries: Given their built-in chemistry from their time together in Tampa, Humphries has "easily been [Fitzpatrick's] favorite target" early in training camp.

Dyami Brown: WFT drafted Brown in the third round, but it's likely that he starts the season fourth on the WR depth chart behind McLaurin, Samuel and (possibly) Adam Humphries.

From Weeks 6 to 17, Thomas scored the third-most fantasy points with 58 receptions (third-most), 564 yards (third-most) and five touchdowns (tied fifth-most) amongst tight ends. Last year's breakout tight end will enter 2021 as a viable top-10 option even with the team bolstering its receiving corps via the draft and free agency.

From Weeks 6 to 17, Thomas scored the third-most fantasy points with 58 receptions (third-most), 564 yards (third-most) and five touchdowns (tied fifth-most) amongst tight ends. Last year's breakout tight end will enter 2021 as a viable top-10 option even with the team bolstering its receiving corps via the draft and free agency.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Ryan Fitzpatrick	552.6	358.1	4172.1	26.25	17.41	46.7	205.5	1.7	267.81
Taylor Heinicke	51.3	32.1	354	2.31	1.64	6	28.2	0.18	24.02

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Antonio Gibson	217.4	989.2	9.24	34.1	339.5	2.1	217.96
J.D. McKissic	75.4	324.2	0.94	41.4	418.7	2.4	115.03
Peyton Barber	17.9	58.2	0.72	0.8	6.8	0	11.22
Jaret Patterson	7.9	34.4	0.24	1.8	15.8	0.1	7.96

J.D. McKissic: McKissic ranked top three on the team in receptions (80), targets (110) and receiving yards (589) in 2020 and only Alvin Kamara (83) had more receptions among running backs. With a quarterback less likely to check down and Gibson's ability as a receiver (and perhaps increased target share), there will likely be much fewer opportunities for McKissic in 2021.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Terry McLaurin	87.8	1120.2	7.1	2	15	0.1	200.62
Curtis Samuel	58.5	645	4	19.9	131.3	1.59	140.42
Dyami Brown	40	543.1	3.4	0	0	0	94.71
Adam Humphries	39	407.3	2.5	0	0	0	75.23
Cam Sims	7.8	135.8	0.8	0.6	3	0.01	22.64
Kelvin Harmon	6.8	79.2	0.4	0	0	0	13.72
Steven Sims	2.9	22.6	0.3	0.4	3.2	0.02	5.95

Terry McLaurin: While the team's quarterback play hasn't done him many favors, McLaurin managed to set career highs with 87 catches and 1,118 yards in his second season. While his Y/R dipped to 12.9 from 15.8, he set career highs in YPG (74.5) and catch rate (64.9%). Even though WFT didn't draft a QB in April, signing Ryan Fitzpatrick in free agency boosts McLaurin's outlook and puts him squarely in the WR1 (top 12) mix.

Curtis Samuel: Across scoring formats, Samuel was a top-25 receiver in 2020 despite playing with D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson, both of whom outscored Samuel in half-PPR formats. Samuel set career highs in receptions (77), receiving yards (851) and rushing yards (200) in 2020. Immediately slotting in as WFT's WR2 behind Terry McLaurin, Samuel is once again a viable WR3 in fantasy.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Logan Thomas	59.5	672.1	4.6	3	10.5	0.03	125.79
Temarrick Hemingway	5.5	72.4	0.5	0	0	0	12.99
Deon Yelder	2.7	29.4	0.2	0	0	0	5.49
John Bates	1.6	18.1	0.1	0	0	0	3.21

From Weeks 6 to 17, Thomas scored the third-most fantasy points with 58 receptions (third-most), 564 yards (third-most) and five touchdowns (tied fifth-most) amongst tight ends. Last year's breakout tight end will enter 2021 as a viable top-10 option even with the team bolstering its receiving corps via the draft and free agency.

Seattle Seahawks 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 Seattle Seahawks.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Russell Wilson	461.2	295.2	3643.5	29.52	8.53	67.6	371.8	2.03	296.12
Not only were Wilson's pass attempts (427) a five-year low, but his rushing attempts (67) were a career low and he failed to rush for a touchdown for the first time in his career. Even so, Wilson finished the season as fantasy's QB9. Before 2018, Wilson ended the year as a top-three QB in three of four seasons and he has finished as a top-12 quarterback every year of his career. Even though Wilson ranked 20th in pass attempts, only Patrick Mahomes and Andrew Luck threw more touchdowns than Wilson (35). While his career-best 8.2 TD% was more than two full percentage points above his career average (6.0 TD%), Wilson has thrown at least 34 touchdowns in three of the past four seasons.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Chris Carson	227.9	1002.8	7.41	24.6	200.5	0.49	167.73
Dominating running back touches over first-round rookie Rashaad Penny, Carson toted the rock 247 times for 1,151 yards and nine touchdowns and added 20 catches for 163 more over 14 games. The disparity in workload between Carson (267 touches, 73.96%) and Penny (94, 26.04%) won't be as large as it was last year, but I'd expect Carson to still get the larger share of the workload in one of the league's most run-heavy attacks.
Rashaad Penny	171.6	789.4	4.72	20.8	170.6	0.42	126.84
In better shape than last year, Penny was on the short end of last year's 74-26 split in workload with Carson, but that margin should narrow in 2019. Earlier this year, coach Pete Carroll said of the Carson-Penny duo that "I don't know who's one and who's two, it doesn't matter to me." Given his first-round pedigree, Penny has enormous upside in Seattle's run-first attack even if he enters the season as Carson's backup.
J.D. McKissic	10	39	0.2	17.9	139.6	0.94	24.7
Travis Homer	11.3	47.5	0.23	1.7	14.5	0.03	7.76

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Tyler Lockett	72.4	1017.2	6.7	11.3	59.3	0.34	149.89
Despite a consistent level of targets -- 66 to 71 -- in all four of his seasons, Lockett posted career highs in receptions (57), yards (965) and touchdowns (10) as he shattered previous career highs in catch rate (81.4%), yards per reception (16.9) and yards per game (60.3). While those ratios may regress closer to the mean, Lockett's target volume is all but assured to increase at the same time given Doug Baldwin's retirement.
David Moore	38.7	561.2	4.64	1.3	6.5	0.01	84.67
When given the opportunity, Moore was highly effective -- 17.1 Y/R and a TD per every 5.2 receptions last year. The expected bump in volume gives Moore some upside and makes him a decent late-round sleeper to target.
D.K. Metcalf	30.6	477.4	4.13	2.5	15	0.03	74.2
A size-speed freak (6-3, 228, 4.33 forty, 40.5-inch vertical), Metcalf's field-stretching abilities are a good fit with Russell Wilson, who said during minicamp that Metcalf was "looking really, really special." In addition, Wilson praised Metcalf's "knowledge of the game" as the first thing that stands out with the rookie receiver. In Seattle's low-volume passing attack, Metcalf is a better target in best-ball formats than he is season-long leagues.
Gary Jennings	22.7	249.7	1.14	0	0	0	31.81
Jaron Brown	11.8	144	1.42	0	0	0	22.92
John Ursua	6	70.8	0.42	0	0	0	9.6

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Will Dissly	24.9	259	2.49	0	0	0	40.84
Dissly had a monster first week (3/105/1), but the rookie tore his patellar tendon in Week 4. There is "no doubt" that he will be ready for the start of the regular season, but it's unlikely that he provides consistent fantasy-relevant production in 2019.
Nick Vannett	18.2	174.7	1.46	0	0	0	26.23
Ed Dickson	15.7	175.8	1.18	0	0	0	24.66
