Shaun Suisham - #6 - Kicker - 6'0" - 197lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Suisham went 2/4 on fields in Week 11, missing his first kicks of the season.
Impact: The makes were from 45 and 31 yards while the misses were from 39 and 50. London Fletcher-Baker - #59 - Linebacker - 5'10" - 245lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Fletcher recorded 13 tackles, an interception and forced a fumble in Week 11.
Impact: Fletcher dropped a second interception early in the game. He leads the team with 103 tackles. Devin Thomas - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'2" - 218lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Thomas had another quiet game, catching three passes for 33 yards in Week 11.
Impact: Thomas showcases his natural ability every now and then but the 'Skins offense is far too inconsistent to give him enough opportunities. Fred Davis - #86 - Tight End - 6'4" - 250lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Davis caught two passes for 24 yards in Week 11.
Impact: He continues to start while Chris Cooley (ankle) is out of the lineup. He has failed to make an impact since replacing Cooley in the lineup. Santana Moss - #89 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 200lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Moss caught five passes for 38 yards in Week 11.
Impact: The 'Skins are unable to protect Campbell which prevents them from utilizing Moss's speed down field. Antwaan Randle El - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 185lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Randle El caught five passes for 45 yards on Sunday.
Impact: He is a slot receiver on an ineffective passing team. This is as good as it gets with Randle El. Quinton Ganther - #35 - Running back - 5'9" - 214lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ganther rushed three times for six yards in Week 11. Expect him to see more touches next week as he will spell Rock Cartwright.
Impact: The 'Skins will be without Clinton Portis (concussion) and Ladell Betts (torn MCL) next week. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Campbell completed 24 of 37 passes for 256 yards and one interception in Week 11. The pick came on a tipped pass the end the game.
Impact: The offensive line struggled once again to provide time for Campbell in the pocket. Many of his passes were quick drops and short passes. He faces a tough Eagles defense in Week 12. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: The knee injury that forced Ladell Betts from the Redskins' 7-6 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday has been revealed to be a torn MCL, according to the Washington Post.
Impact: An awful break for the 3-7 Redskins. Clinton Portis has already been ruled out for next Sunday, so the team will for sure be without its top two backs. Stay tuned for a more specific update on Betts. Rock Cartwright - #31 - Running back - 5'8" - 213lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Rock Cartwright led the Redskins in rushing in Sunday's 7-6 loss at Dallas, as he gained 67 yards on 13 carries, with a long of 34. He also caught a game-high seven passes for 73 receiving yards.
Impact: Cartwright did a good job after filling in for starter Ladell Betts, who went down with a knee injury. He will be worth a look in fantasy leagues if Clinton Portis (concussion) or Betts are unable to go in Week 12 at Philadelphia. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Jason Campbell failed to impress in Sunday's 7-6 loss at Dallas, as he completed 24-of-37 passes for 256 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception.
Impact: Campbell finally topped 200 passing yards after failing to do so over his previous two games, but was still a disappointment for Washington. Hopefully fantasy owners had better options to employ today. Rock Cartwright - #31 - Running back - 5'8" - 213lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: With Ladell Betts reportedly having suffered a torn MCL and Clinton Portis ruled out, Cartwight is in line for an expanded role in Week 12's game against the Eagles.
Impact: It sounds like Cartwright's teammates might both be out for more than one game, so go get Cartwright if you owned Portis and/or Betts, or simply need RB depth in general. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Betts has a torn MCL, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: Betts will have an MRI Monday, but he's clearly going to miss some time. Rock Cartwight is in line for an expanded role next week, and possibly more, with Clinton Portis already ruled out. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Jim Zorn said that Portis (concussion) will be out next week, although he's not yet considered an IR candidate, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: Ladell Betts has a torn MCL and will miss time as well, so Rock Cartwright will be a hot pickup this week. With Portis more week-to-week than day-to-day at this point -- considering that he is already ruled out for Week 12 -- the Redskins will add some running back depth in the coming days. Chad Rinehart - #75 - - 6'5" - 311lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Chad Rinehart was carted off the field in the second half of today's game at Dallas, according to the Washington Post on twitter.
Impact: Further details regarding an injury are yet to be disclosed. Rinehart will be missed as the starting right guard. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
STATS
News: Betts, the fill-in for injured Clinton Portis, was knocked out of the Dallas game with a left knee injury.
Impact: Betts apparently got hurt on a hard tackle by Bradie James at the end of a 2-yard gain midway through the first quarter Sunday. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Updating an earlier report, Ladell Betts has left the sideline on a cart after spending time on the trainer's table, according to the Washington Post on twitter.
Impact: Betts has his left leg immobilized with a large cast. The source believes he may have a MCL/ACL injury. Stay tuned for updates on his injury. Rock Cartwright - #31 - Running back - 5'8" - 213lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: In relief of the injured Ladell Betts, Cartwright carried 13 times for 67 yards in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Cowboys. He also caught seven passes for 73 yards.
Impact: We'll have to see how bad Betts' injury is, but with Clinton Portis still dealing with concussion issues, Cartwright is worth a claim to see how this situation pans out. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Ladell Betts is reportedly out for the remainder of today's game at Dallas after leaving with an apparent ankle injury, according to the Redskins' official twitter page.
Impact: This is a tough blow for Washington, as they are already without Clinton Portis (concussion). Rock Cartwright is now filling in as the starting running back. DeAngelo Hall - #23 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Updating an earlier report, DeAngelo Hall suffered a knee contusion in the first quarter of today's game at Dallas, according to the Washington Post on twitter.
Impact: Hall appears to be OK, and the source believes he is likely to return. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Ladell Betts limped off the field in the first quarter of today's game at Dallas, according to the Washington Post on twitter.
Impact: The source believes Betts may have rolled his ankle. The Redskins cannot afford to lose him with Clinton Portis (concussion) already on the shelf. DeAngelo Hall - #23 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: DeAngelo Hall may have injured his knee in the first quarter of today's battle at Dallas, according to the Washington Post on twitter.
Impact: Kedric Golston signaled the trainers to check him out. Stay tuned for updates on Hall's status. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Redskins inactives: RB Clinton Portis, CB Kevin Barnes, C Edwin Williams, TE Chris Cooley, LB Robert Henson, OT Mike Williams, DT Albert Haynesworth and DE Renaldo Wynn.
Impact: Ladell Betts will make another start at running back in place of Clinton Portis (concussion). Kedric Golston will replace stud Albert Haynesworth at defensive tackle. Fred Davis will also fill in at tight end with Cooley down. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Updating an earlier report, Albert Haynesworth (ankle) will not play in today's game at rival Dallas, according to the Washington Post on twitter.
Impact: Kedric Golston is expected to replace the stud at defensive tackle, which could benefit the Cowboys' offense. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Betts is out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cowboys with what is being reported as a knee injury, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: More as we know it, but it looks like Rock Cartwright and Quinton Ganther will handle the rock for the rest of Sunday's game. Those with a roster spot to play with who are in first-come, first-serve mode may want to take a stab at Cartwright, as he has taken over for Betts initially. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: According to Adam Schefter on Twitter, Albert Haynesworth (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Week 11.
Impact: Haynesworth was expected to play as early as yesterday, but the team now seems somewhat uncertain about his ankle injury. He hasn't practiced this week, but you can bet he'll go above and beyond to try and get on the field against the Cowboys. If he can't go, Kedric Golston would get the start, and that would certainly benefit Marion Barber and the Dallas running game. Check back before kickoff for an update on his status. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Betts (ankle) is active for Sunday's game at Dallas.
Impact: Betts, who has tallied 184 yards rushing with two touchdowns over the last two games, will again start for the injured Clinton Portis. The Cowboys have been pretty good against the run this year, but Betts should still be a nice play this weekend. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Haynesworth (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game at Dallas.
Impact: We somewhat expected this given the fact that he was unable to practice all week. You need to look elsewhere this week if Haynesworth is one of your regular IDP starters. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Haynesworth (ankle) will not play against the Cowboys on Sunday, Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: Playing the Redskins defense against Dallas wasn't the greatest idea to begin with, but this makes matters worse for sure. This might not necessarily mean much for Marion Barber owners, however, if Jason Garrett's playcalling from last week (11 run plays, 42 pass plays) is any indication of Dallas' game-plan. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Sat. Nov 21, 2009 |
Fanball
News: According to ESPN.com, Albert Haynesworth will play in Sunday's contest against the rival Cowboys.
Impact: Haynesworth is dealing with an ankle injury, and although he holds a questionable tag right now, the coaching staff had deemed him ready to go. One expects that the menacing defender is doing everything he can do to get into this game so he can stick it to his former team. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Portis, who has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Dallas, was at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Friday to have his concussion evaluated, Associated Press reports. "We're going to make sure we take care of all the details. We're for Clinton getting well," coach Jim Zorn said. "Each day Clinton's done a great job of communicating how he's felt, and that's what it's going to take."
Impact: It looks like the Redskins are wisely taking the cautious route here, so unless Portis gets some really good news Friday, he's looking iffy for next week. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Haynesworth (ankle) did not practice again on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas, the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star reports. He will be a game-time decision.
Impact: ESPN's John Clayton calls Haynesworth "very questionable" and said there's a possibility that Haynesworth receives little to no work even if he's active on Sunday. Chris Cooley - #47 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cooley (ankle) has officially been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, the Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact: Cooley is set to visit with a doctor on Monday, which should help determine whether he'll be available for Week 12. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: The Washington Post's Rick Maese reports that running back Clinton Portis is set to see another specialist about his concussion.
Impact: Portis seems miles away from the field right now, and you have to wonder if he is going to play at all again in 2009. Ladell Betts is the team's indefinite feature back. Eddie Williams - #36 - - 6'1" - 249lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Fullback Eddie Williams had to be carted off the Redskins' practice field on Friday, according to Rick Maese of the Washington Post.
Impact: Williams was just signed two and a half weeks ago. Having such a tenuous roster spot, he isn't likely to play again 2009 if his injury is as significant as getting carted off would suggest. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
STATS
News: Redskins coach Jim Zorn says Haynesworth remains a game-time decision for Sunday's contest at Dallas with a sprained left ankle.
Impact: The coach says Haynesworth is "coming along'' and that the ankle's swelling is starting to go down, but his absence would be huge for the Redskins and give Dallas much more room to run. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Updating an earlier item, Clinton Portis (concussion) has been officially ruled out for Week 11, according to Rick Maese of the Washington Post.
Impact: Ladell Betts will get the call. It is likely to be some time before Portis is back in the fold, and even if he does return in 2009, he may not be the feature back for the rest of the season. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Albert Haynesworth (ankle) is looking like he'll be a game-time decision this weekend, according to Rick Maese of the Washington Post.
Impact: Washington is going to need Haynesworth to have a realistic shot at beating its arch-rival Dallas this weekend. Because of the opponent, he seems likely to go. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Haynesworth remains a game-time decision for Sunday's game against Dallas with a sprained left ankle, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Coach Jim Zorn says that Haynesworth is "coming along" and that the swelling in the DT's ankle is starting to go down. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: With Clinton Portis ruled out again, Betts (ankle) will get his second consecutive start in Sunday's game at Dallas, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: The good news here is that Betts' owners won't have to factor in the possibility of Portis playing into their Week 11 lineup equation. Betts ran well in Week 10 against Denver, so look for him to be busy again Sunday, with Rock Cartwright and Quinton Ganther in the mix as well to a lesser degree. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Jim Zorn has ruled Portis (concussion) out for Sunday's game at Dallas, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: As a result, Ladell Betts will start in Portis' place for the second consecutive week. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Clinton Portis (concussion) was a no-show at Redskins practice again on Thursday, according to the Washington Post's Rick Maese.
Impact: It's clear that he is not playing this weekend. Ladell Betts will again serve as the Redskins' feature back. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Portis (concussion) did not practice Wednesday but worked out on his own earlier in the day to "get a little sweat going," the Washington Post reports. After the workout he experienced blurriness and he is "very doubtful" to play on Sunday.
Impact: Portis is still feeling the effects from a Week 9 concussion, the second of his career (first one happened in college). He is not expected to play on Sunday. Ladell Betts will see the majority of touches in his place. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Ladell Betts fully practiced today, according to the Cowboys' official website.
Impact: Betts is sore, but is expected to start Sunday's game at rival Dallas. Clinton Portis is still recovering from his concussion. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
Fanball
News: The Washington Times is reporting that Redskins' defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth missed practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. Haynesworth will likely be a game-time decision this week.
Impact: The Skins struggle enough as it is, so losing their best defensive player would be a huge blow. We probably won't know anything until the weekend, so check back then if this impacts your squad. Chris Cooley - #47 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cooley (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: No surprise here, since Cooley isn't expected to return until Week 12 at the earliest. He will visit with a doctor on Monday, which may provide more info about his potential return date. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Betts (ankle) participated fully in Wednesday's practice, the Redskins' official site reports.
Impact: Clinton Portis did not practice, leaving coach Jim Zorn to call him "very doubtful" for Sunday's game against Dallas. That's music to the ears of Betts owners, who will likely get at least one more week of Betts as the primary ballcarrier. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Redskins' beat reporter Rick Maese is reporting that running back Clinton Portis was not at practice on Wednesday. Portis is dealing with the effects of a concussion.
Impact: The Skins have said that Portis has to practice this week if he wants to play, so he is 0-for-1 so far. Portis has been acting like there is no hurry for him to return, so owners may be without again this week. Check back again tomorrow for another update. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Haynesworth (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, Ryan O'Halloran of the Washington Times reports.
Impact: We should have a much better read on his chances of playing Sunday as the week progresses. As long as Haynesworth gets on the field by the end of the week, he should be ready to go against Dallas. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Portis (concussion) was not at practice on Wednesday, Ryan O'Halloran of the Washington Times reports. Coach Jim Zorn called Portis "very doubtful" for Sunday's game against Dallas.
Impact: The early indications from Portis are that he intends to take a cautious approach with his recovery, so he appears to be a very risky proposition for Week 11. More than likely, Ladell Betts will get another start at running back for Washington on Sunday. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Tue. Nov 17, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Head coach Jim Zorn stated Clinton Portis (concussion) will regain the starting running back job when healthy, the Washington Post reports. Betts has outperformed Portis since replacing him in the second quarter of Week 9.
Impact: Portis is still suffering from the concussion in Week 9 and his status is uncertain for Sunday. If Portis cannot practice expect Betts to start again. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Tue. Nov 17, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Head coach Jim Zorn stated Portis (concussion) will regain his starting job once healthy, the Washington Post reports. As of now he still suffers from blurred vision and his status of Week 11 is unknown.
Impact: Ladell Betts rushed for 177 yards on 39 carries during Portis's absence. If Portis is unable to return to practice expect Betts to start again. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Portis is still experiencing "a little blurriness" as a result of his concussion, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Portis is considered day-by-day, but the fact that he is still dealing with concussion symptoms as we flip the NFL calendar over to Week 11, puts his status for Sunday's game against Dallas in doubt. Coach Jim Zorn wisely said he'll be cautious with Portis, but did add that Portis would regain his starting gig once he is cleared to play. Santana Moss - #89 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Moss had two catches for eight yards Sunday in the Redskins' 27-17 win over Denver.
Impact: Moss can't be counted on to do anything from week to week, and he hasn't caught a touchdown pass since Week 4. Still, he's the Redskins' best option if you're desperate. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Betts had 26 carries for 114 yards and a touchdown Sunday in the Redskins' 27-17 win over Denver.
Impact: Betts had contributed virtually nothing all season before the past two weeks, and with Clinton Portis potentially out again this week, there's no reason he can't have another solid game against Dallas. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Campbell was 17 of 26 for 193 yards and a touchdown Sunday in the Redskins' 27-17 win over Denver.
Impact: Campbell's numbers haven't been that bad this season, but he's in a mess of a situation in Washington. With the right system, he could perhaps thrive elsewhere, but that probably isn't going to happen with the Redskins. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Albert Haynesworth will have his injured ankle re-evaluated on Wednesday, according to Rick Maese of the Washington Post.
Impact: The ever injury prone defensive tackle was forced from the Redskins win over the Broncos in the fourth quarter on Sunday. It didn't seem overly serious, but we will know for sure by Wednesday. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Clinton Portis (concussion) will not play this weekend unless he practices this week, according to Rick Maese of the Washington Post.
Impact: Portis is, of course, famous for sitting out and resting injuries during the week only to play and be effective on Sundays. With this injury being a concussion, however, the Redskins are exercising much more caution. Look for Wednesday, and whether or not he practices, to be the first real sign of his Week 11 status. Chris Cooley - #47 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
Fanball
News: The status of Chris Cooley's injured ankle should be updated in about a week, according to Rick Maese of the Washington Post.
Impact: Cooley has been out since October 26. He could return by as early as Week 12, but early December seems more likely. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Clinton Portis (concussion) will still be Washington's starter when he returns from injury, according to the Washington Post.
Impact: So he's no Wally Pipp, and Ladell Betts is no Lou Gehrig. Betts' 114 rushing yards on Sunday were more than Portis had run for in any game this season, however, and at the very least, it does finally appear that he will be getting those extra carries the team said he would at the beginning of the season when Portis returns. Shaun Suisham - #6 - Kicker - 6'0" - 197lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Suisham was 2 for 2 in field goals and 3 for 3 in extra points Sunday. He is a perfect 12 for 12 on the season with a long of 48 yards.
Impact: Suisham has improved from a poor 2008 and is no longer looking over his shoulder each week. Keep in mind Week 10 was the first time the 'Skins scored over 17 points in a game so his opportunities are limited. DeAngelo Hall - #23 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hall recorded his fourth interception of the season on Sunday.
Impact: Hall leads the 'Skins in picks and has overtaken Carlos Rogers as the top corner. He has been able to stay focused on the field and out of trouble so far in 2009. Brian Orakpo - #98 - Linebacker - 6'4" - 260lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orakpo recorded six tackles and 1.5 sacks in Week 10. He now has seven sacks on the season.
Impact: Orakpo continues to reach the quarterback even though he splits time between defensive end and outside linebacker. Santana Moss - #89 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Moss caught two passes for eight yards in Week 10.
Impact: Moss was shut down by the Broncos' Champ Bailey. Fred Davis - #86 - Tight End - 6'4" - 250lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Davis caught four passes for a team high 50 yards in Week 10.
Impact: Davis will continue to start while Chris Cooley recovers from ankle surgery. It's important to note that Todd Yoder caught one pass for a touchdown. Yoder has two scores since Cooley's injury and appears to be targeted around the goal line more then Davis. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Campbell completed 17 of 26 passes for 193 yards and one touchdown in Week 10. He also added 15 rushing yards.
Impact: Campbell had more time in the pocket this week in the past. The offensive line only gave up three sacks against a tough Denver defensive line. Andre Carter - #99 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 252lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Carter had five solo tackles and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's win over the Broncos.
Impact: Carter now has eight sacks this year, which doubles his output from 2008. Denver had given up just 13 sacks in eight games heading into Sunday, but Washington had three QB takedowns on the day. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |

News: Ladell Betts had 26 carries for 114 yards and one touchdown in the Week 10 victory over Denver.
Impact: A very solid peformance for Betts, who was questionable on the injury report with a knee injury. There are rumors that Clinton Portis could miss substantial time due to effects from his concussion, so Betts could be a solid No. 2 back/flex option over the next few weeks.

Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cartwright had 41 yards on nine carries and caught two passes for nine yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over Denver.
Impact: Cartwright was fairly productive, but Ladell Betts started for Clinton Portis (concussion) and ran for 114 yards and scored a touchdown. Cartwright would have some value if Portis missed another game, but otherwise he's not an attractive option. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs

RotoWire
News: Betts (ankle) ran for a season-high 114 yards and scored a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win against Denver.
Impact: Betts started for Clinton Portis (concussion) and ended up running for more yards than any other Washington player this season. Betts was awesome for the Redskins back in 2006, but hasn't gotten a whole lot of work the last few years with Portis relatively healthy. Concussions can often be tricky and teams are becoming more and more cautious with them, so it's possible that Betts makes at least one more start.

News: Albert Haynesworth exited the game against Denver in the fourth quarter with a sprained ankle, according to the Washington Post's twitter page.
Impact: Haynesworth is questionable to return, and no further information is available regarding the severity of the injury. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Haynesworth limped off the field twice in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Broncos with an apparent left leg or ankle injury, the Sports Network reports.
Impact: More on the status of Haynesworth, who finished up with two tackles, in the coming days. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs

News: Week 10 inactives: RB Clinton Portis, TE Chris Cooley, CB Kevin Barnes, TE/FB Eddie Williams, G/T Mike Williams, LB Robert Henson, DT Anthony Mongtomery, and DL Renaldo Wynn.
Impact: RB Ladell Betts, who was questionable on the injury report with an ankle injury, will start for Portis, who is inactive due to the effects of a concussion. Also, TE Fred Davis will continue to start for Cooley, who is inactive due to an ankle injury. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: FedEx Field is wet, sloppy and in relatively bad shape as we head into Week 10, according to the Denver Post notes.
Impact: Sloppy fields don't tend to bode well for passing attacks, and it can't help Ladell Betts, who is dealing with a sore ankle. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Updating an earlier item, NFL Network's Jason La Canfora confirms that Ladell Betts (ankle) will play on Sunday and serve as Washington's feature back.
Impact: The Redskins are also expected to dole out some carries to Rock Cartwright and Quinton Ganther, but Betts is the man to start in Clinton Portis' absence. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Campbell (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against Denver.
Impact: His ankle shouldn't cause too many problems during Sunday's game, but Campbell faces a tough matchup with the Denver pass defense. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Betts (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against Denver.
Impact: Redskins head coach Jim Zorn insists he will deploy a committee of Betts, Rock Cartwright and Quinton Ganther, so Betts remains a somewhat risky play for your fantasy squad. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: The NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports that Betts will start Sunday against the Broncos.
Impact: Though Betts will start, his ankle still doesn't feel quite right, furthering the belief that the Redskins will use a backfield committee of Betts, Rock Cartwright and Quinton Ganther. Coach Jim Zorn indicated on Friday that he will likely use such a rotation. We'll have official confirmation on Betts' status once the inactive list is released Sunday morning. Sam Paulescu - #4 - Punter - 6'0" - 189lbs
Sat. Nov 14, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Punter Sam Paulescu has been released by the Redskins, according to the Washington Post.
Impact: Hunter Smith is recovered from his groin injury, hence making Paulescu expendable. Paulescu performed well in Smith's absence, and could get another chance to play in the NFL. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Sat. Nov 14, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Redskins' running back Ladell Betts told the Washington Post on Saturday that he will start for the team on Sunday. Betts was limited all week in practice with an ankle injury.
Impact: Betts said his ankle was a little sore this week, but he is ready to go for tomorrow's game. The team needs him to step up with Clinton Portis out, and he should be good for some fantasy production while getting a majority of the carries. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
STATS
News: Ladell Betts, who had been questionable with a sprained ankle, was active for Sunday's game against visiting Denver and is expected to start in Clinton Portis' spot. Portis is out after sustaining a concussion in last week's loss to Atlanta.
Impact: Coach Jim Zorn said Friday he thinks Betts will play in Sunday's game despite a sprained ankle, but the coach also is prepared to go with a running back by committee of Betts, Rock Cartwright and Quinton Ganther. Betts has 91 yards on 26 carries and 16 receptions for 173 yards. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Campbell (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against Denver, the Redskins' official site reports.
Impact: Campbell has been more effective since Sherman Lewis began calling plays for the Redskins, throwing for 480 yards and three touchdowns in the last two weeks. Denver's passing defense is a tough nut to crack, however. Campbell's ankle doesn't look like it will be a problem. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Betts is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Denver, the Redskins' official site reports. "Ladell was limited (in Friday's practice)," coach Jim Zorn said. "He has two more days to get it going. I suspect he'll play."
Impact: Betts has an opportunity to start in place of an injured Clinton Portis for the first time since 2006, but Zorn indicated Betts might not be the workhorse some are expecting. "It'll be by committee, I'm sure," Zorn said, "unless Ladell feels great. But (Rock Cartwright and Quinton Ganther) will play regardless." We'll have final word on Betts' status when the inactive list is released on Sunday morning. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Though Betts is dealing with an ankle sprain, the Redskins expect him to be ready to start against the Broncos on Sunday, the Washington Pots reports. "Fortunately, once the low-ankle sprains start healing up they don't re-aggravate," coach Jim Zorn said. "You've got to really do something again to re-injure it. It's not like a high-ankle sprain. I think he'll be ready."
Impact: Note that the term "low ankle sprain" was used by Zorn to underline that Betts is not dealing with what us fantasy types often refer to as "the dreaded high ankle sprain." We'll see what Betts does Friday -- and how is listed on the injury report -- but the Redskins play during the first wave of kickoffs Sunday, so his status will be confirmed in plenty of time for most owners who need to consider him this week. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Campbell was able to take full reps on Thursday after being limited due to an ankle injury on Wednesday, the Sports Network reports.
Impact: Though Campbell was forced out of last week's game twice (with chest and ankle injuries), it looks like he should be fine for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Betts was limited at Thursday's practice because of a low ankle sprain, the Washington Times reports.
Impact: That said, coach Jim Zorn expects Betts to play Sunday against Denver and he'll be needed with Clinton Portis already ruled out. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Jim Zorn has ruled out Portis (concussion) for Sunday's game against Denver, the Washington Times reports.
Impact: His backup, Ladell Betts, was limited Thursday with a low ankle sprain, but Zorn expects Betts to play this weekend. More on Portis' status as Week 11's tilt against the Cowboys approaches. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Jim Zorn said Wednesday that Portis (concussion) is "very, very doubtful" for Sunday's game against Denver, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: "I had him in my office this morning and he was still ... you could tell that he wasn't quite 100 percent," Zorn said. "We're not going to mess around with any concussion." Portis hasn't officially been ruled out, but it would be a major shocker to see him in uniform on Sunday. Ladell Betts remains the likely starter. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Campbell (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday, the Redskins' official site reports.
Impact: Campbell was twice forced out of last week's game with chest and ankle injuries, but was able to return after missing just one series both times. He's expected to be ready for Sunday's matchup with Denver. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Betts (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, the Washington Examiner reports.
Impact: Coach Jim Zorn said that Betts injured his ankle in last Sunday's loss to Atlanta but expects the running back to return to practice on Thursday. The Redskins will need him this week since starter Clinton Portis (concussion) is very unlikely to play. Betts, who rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown on just 15 carries last week, is worth a pickup if you need running back assistance. Chris Cooley - #47 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cooley had his right ankle re-examined Monday and could begin rehab Tuesday in the hopes of returning for Week 12, the Washington Times reports.
Impact: In any case, Cooley is still out a couple more weeks, but there's still hope that he will be able to return for the stretch run. Chris Horton - #48 - Safety - 6'1" - 212lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Horton has been placed IR because of an injury to his foot, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: Horton, who finishes up the season with 37 tackles and a forced fumble in eight games, will be replaced on the Redskins' roster by running back Quinton Ganther. Quinton Ganther - #35 - Running back - 5'9" - 214lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: The Redskins have re-signed Ganther, who had been released by the team last week, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: Ganther gives the Redskins some added running back depth with Clinton Portis looking pretty iffy for this week. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Portis (concussion) was not at practice Wednesday, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: The Redskins added some running back depth Wednesday by signing Quinton Ganther, which helps fuel our belief that the team is likely to play it safe with Portis this week and sit him due to his concussion. Ladell Betts is in line for a start Sunday against the Broncos if that ends up being the case. Santana Moss - #89 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Moss had five catches for 47 yards in a 31-17 loss to Atlanta on Sunday.
Impact: It's just hard to find much productivity in Washington's struggling offense. Moss is on pace for a 1,000-yard season but he hasn't found the end zone in more than a month. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Campbell was 15 of 22 for 196 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown pass to Todd Yoder, as the Redskins lost 31-17 to Atlanta on Sunday.
Impact: He also briefly left the game after taking a hit, but he should be healthy enough to play against Denver this week. His ability to put up good numbers against the Broncos' resurgent defense, however, is in much greater doubt. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: With Clinton Portis out after sustaining a head injury, Betts rushed for 70 yards on 15 carries, including a 1-yard touchdown, as the Redskins lost 31-17 to Atlanta on Sunday.
Impact: Portis will likely miss at least one game, so Betts could be a playable option this week against Denver, although the Redskins' offense is not exactly lighting the world on fire and the Broncos have one of the best run defenses in football. DeAngelo Hall - #23 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: The NFL is looking into Sunday's altercation between Hall and members of the Falcons near the Atlanta bench. League spokesman Randall Liu said the incident will be reviewed for possible discipline.
Impact: Hall, a former Falcon, ended up surrounded by Falcons players and coaches after teammate LaRon Landry was whistled for a late sideline hit on quarterback Matt Ryan during Sunday's game at the Georgia Dome. Hall claimed Atlanta coach Mike Smith tried to put his hands on him "in a harmful way." Mike Williams - #71 - Tackle - 6'7" - 370lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Williams, who has started the last four games, is out two to four weeks with a ligament tear in his ankle suffered in Sunday's 31-17 loss at Atlanta.
Impact: Williams had been emerging as a starter, and this is a big blow for a Redskins' running game that will also likely be missing Clinton Portis on Sunday against Denver. Chris Horton - #48 - Safety - 6'1" - 212lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Horton had toe surgery Wednesday and was put on injured reserve, ending his season.
Impact: Horton was hurt during Sunday's 31-17 loss to Atlanta. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Portis, who suffered a concussion Sunday, still has a headache and does not remember the play on which he sustained the injury, the Washington Post reports. "I'd say he's doubtful for this week," coach Jim Zorn said. "That's just my opinion."
Impact: At 2-6, the Redskins would seem to have little to gain by rushing back Portis, who was out cold Sunday. While concussions come with an assortment of variables, the fact that Portis lost consciousness immediately points this in the direction where the utmost of caution is needed. Look for Ladell Betts to get the starting nod at running back Sunday against the Broncos. Chris Horton - #48 - Safety - 6'1" - 212lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Horton will be out four-to-six weeks and possibly more because of an injury to his toe, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: At this point, Horton looks like a candidate for IR. Brian Orakpo - #98 - Linebacker - 6'4" - 260lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Orakpo recorded two sacks and four tackles in Week 9. He now has 5.5 sacks on the season.
Impact: Orakpo continues to impress in the pass rush. One has to wonder how much longer the 'Skins will leave him at linebacker. Imagine the sack totals if he were to rush the passer on every down. Marko Mitchell - #84 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 218lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Mitchell saw his first game action in Week 9 and caught two passes for 22 yards.
Impact: Mitchell received some playing time with Devin Thomas putting up a donut and Malcolm Kelly falling out of favor with the coaching staff. Antwaan Randle El - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 185lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Randle El caught three passes for 28 yards and split punt returns with DeAngelo Hall in Week 9.
Impact: Randle El will split time returning punts as the 'Skins attempt to find a spark on special teams. Fred Davis - #86 - Tight End - 6'4" - 250lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Davis caught two passes for 26 yards in Week 9.
Impact: Quarterback Jason Campbell's lone touchdown went to backup tight end Todd Yoder. Santana Moss - #89 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Moss caught five passes for 47 yards in Week 9.
Impact: The 'Skins offense produced 69 yards in the first half. In the second half they went to a lot of three step drops and short passes to avoid the Falcons' pass rush. Expect the Redskins to continue this game plan in the future. This will limit Moss' big plays down the field. Rock Cartwright - #31 - Running back - 5'8" - 213lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cartwright carried the ball seven times for 16 yards in Week 9. He received a third of the carries in the second half after Clinton Portis suffered a concussion.
Impact: Ladell Betts will receive the majority of the work if Portis cannot play next week, however Cartwright will receive touches as well. Todd Collins - #15 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 228lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Collins replaced starter Jason Campbell twice on Sunday when he went down with chest and ankle injuries. Campbell was able to return both times. In his absence Collins completed four of five passes for 12 yards.
Impact: The 'Skins offensive line is an embarrassment giving up five sacks in the first half. There is a good chance Campbell may not last the season. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Jim Zorn said that Portis was "knocked out" when he suffered his concussion Sunday, the Washington Post reports. "You tell me what happened," Portis said after the game, which seems to confirm his coach's assessment. "I don't remember what happened."
Impact: Zorn said it was too early to say how long Portis might be out, but did say the team would be "cautious" about Portis' return. Given that he was out cold, he has to be considered iffy for Week 10, at least initially. Ladell Betts would be in line for a start at running back next Sunday if Portis is indeed forced out. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Campbell (ankle/chest) left Sunday's game on two separate occasions, but was able to return on the next series both times. Campbell threw for 196 yards with a touchdown and interception and added 40 yards on the ground.
Impact: Campbell was sacked five times and under major pressure all day, but give him credit for hanging tough and finishing the game. With the team's poor offensive line play and lack of playmakers, things aren't going to get any better for Campbell. Ladell Betts - #46 - Running back - 5'11" - 224lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: In relief of the concussed Clinton Portis, Betts had 15 carries for 70 yards and a TD in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. Betts also caught a 23-yard pass in the game.
Impact: Portis has been dealing with aches and pains all season and while it's uncertain how badly his bell was rung, Betts is probably worth a speculative pickup to see how this pans out in the coming days. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Portis suffered a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's game at Atlanta and did not return, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: Portis had just four carries for four yards before his departure. He was replaced by Ladell Betts -- 15 carries, 70 yards, one TD -- who is worth picking up in case Portis is forced to miss any further action. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Sun. Nov 8, 2009 |
STATS
News: Portis will miss his second straight game Sunday at Dallas as he recovers from a concussion.
Impact: Portis has not been able to practice since he was injured in a helmet-to-helmet hit against Atlanta. Ladell Betts is set to start for Portis for the second consecutive week. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Portis left Sunday's game against the Falcons with 3:20 remaining in the first quarter after sustaining a helmet-to-helmet hit, the Associated Press reports. The Redskins said that Portis suffered a head injury and would not return.
Impact: More on his status as we know it, but Ladell Betts is in line for more carries with Portis out. Chris Horton - #48 - Safety - 6'1" - 212lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Horton (knee) is active for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
Impact: Evidently Horton's knee injury was not terribly serious, but he probably is not a great IDP option at this point since he was already losing playing time to Reed Doughty. Chris Horton - #48 - Safety - 6'1" - 212lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Horton (knee) was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Impact: Reed Doughty will assume additional playing time if Horton is unable to play. Quinton Ganther - #35 - Running back - 5'9" - 214lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: The Redskins have released Ganther, the Washington Times reports.
Impact: The move was made to make room on the roster for punter Sam Paulescu, who will be filling in for the injured Hunter Smith. Chris Horton - #48 - Safety - 6'1" - 212lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Horton injured his knee during Thursday's practice, the Washington Post reports. "I don't know the extent of it, but he couldn't finish practice," head coach Jim Zorn said.
Zorn didn't think Horton would require an MRI. "I hope he'll be fine," Zorn said. "I hope he'll practice tomorrow."
Impact: Horton has lost playing time to Reed Doughty and should not be on your fantasy radar at this point. Chris Cooley - #47 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cooley is slated for a follow-up appointment to evaluate his right ankle next Monday, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: "I'm hopeful that I can come back and play," Cooley said. "I still had an inch break in my ankle and it has three screws in it right now, so I'm not really getting around so well. So we'll see what happens." The inference here is perhaps the four-week timetable that was announced after his surgery was a bit optimistic. In any case, he's out for a while and Fred Davis will see an expanded role in his absence. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Portis (ankle) participated fully in Wednesday's practice and is not listed on the injury report.
Impact: His absence from the report doesn't mean his numerous leg ailments have magically disappeared, but the Redskins' Week 8 bye seems to have done Portis a lot of good. He is a safe RB2 play against Atlanta in most formats this week. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Campbell (ankle) participated fully in practice Wednesday and is not listed on the injury report.
Impact: Campbell should be well-rested coming off the Redskins' bye week. He'll also get to square off against an Atlanta secondary that has allowed three straight passers to throw for at least 300 yards and two touchdowns. If you need a bye-week replacement for Week 9, Campbell deserves some consideration. Chris Samuels - #60 - Tackle - 6'5" - 317lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Samuels is out for the season and was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 31.
Impact: The six-time Pro Bowl lineman has a chronic spinal condition and will decide in a few months whether to return next season or retire. Chris Samuels - #60 - Tackle - 6'5" - 317lbs
Sat. Oct 31, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Samuels (neck) was placed on IR on Saturday.
Impact: Not much surprise here as he was already expected to miss the rest of the season. It's unclear if he'll be able to resume his NFL career at some point, but he refuted recent reports about plans to announce his retirement. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Portis sprained an ankle in Monday's loss to the Eagles, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Just another ache and/or pain for the banged-up Portis to deal with. Fortunately, the Redskins are on bye this week, which will allow him some much needed time to recuperate. We don't expect Portis to magically heal up in one week, but the time off should help him continue to do what he has been doing, which is play through his physical issues. Fred Davis - #86 - Tight End - 6'4" - 250lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Davis will see an expanded role in the Redskins' offense with Chris Cooley now expected to miss four weeks.
Impact: Davis was productive in Week 7 -- eight catches for 78 yards and a touchdown -- so he's worth a look if you need TE help, but note that the Redskins are on bye this week. Chris Cooley - #47 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cooley had the chip in his right tibia successfully repaired Wednesday and the Redskins indicated that he is expected back in four weeks, the Washington Times reports.
Impact: That timetable would see Cooley back in time for the fantasy stretch run and playoffs, so unless your roster restrictions get in the way, stashing him is an option. In the meantime, it's worth taking a look at Fred Davis, who was productive in relief of Cooley this past Monday. Chris Cooley - #47 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cooley, who chipped a bone at the base of his tibia Monday, is expected to have surgery as soon as Wednesday, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: Initial reports were that Cooley had a broken ankle and would miss the rest of the season, but the latest indications are that a best-case scenario would have him back as quickly as four weeks. Either way, he will be re-evaluated after the surgery, and we should have a clearer picture then. Chris Cooley - #47 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cooley's broken ankle is not as bad as first thought and he could return in four weeks, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: Earlier reports had him headed to IR and electing to have surgery. Wait a day or two before deciding whether to drop him until more information surfaces. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
STATS
News: Campbell did not show much improvement with new play caller Sherm Lewis sending in the plays Monday night against the Eagles. Campbell finished 29 for 43 for 284 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-17 loss. He also threw his seventh interception of the season, one more than he had all last season.
Impact: Campbell also had trouble getting the ball from his center and did not look comfortable with Lewis' play calls. Lewis has been with the Redskins for only three weeks after being lured out of a retirement consisting of bingo-calling and serving Meals on Wheels. Fantasy owners may not want to use Campbell as their starter. Fred Davis - #86 - Tight End - 6'4" - 250lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
STATS
News: Davis led the Redskins with eight catches for 78 yards Monday in a 27-17 loss to the Eagles.
Impact: Davis entered the game with seven receptions before shining under new play caller Sherm Lewis, who has been with the Redskins for only three weeks after being lured out of a retirement consisting of bingo-calling and serving Meals on Wheels. With Lewis in charge, Davis could be a focal point of Washington's offense. Santana Moss - #89 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 200lbs

News: Moss had six catches for 74 yards Monday in a 27-17 loss to the Eagles.
Impact: Moss failed to reach the end zone and didn't show much improvement under new play caller Sherm Lewis, who has been with the Redskins for only three weeks after being lured out of a retirement consisting of bingo-calling and serving Meals on Wheels. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs

News: Portis rushed for only 43 yards on 14 carries Monday in a 27-17 loss to the Eagles and at one point chucked his helmet on the sideline in frustration.
Impact: Portis rushed for 109 yards the previous week against Kansas City, but new offensive play caller Sherm Lewis failed to get the former Pro Bowl running back untracked on Monday in a key NFC East clash. Lewis has been with the Redskins for only three weeks after being lured out of a retirement consisting of bingo-calling and serving Meals on Wheels. Chris Cooley - #47 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs

RotoWire
News: Cooley will miss a minimum of 6-8 weeks with a broken ankle and will "probably" end up on injured reserve, head coach Jim Zorn told NFL.com.
Impact: Cooley suffered a break in the bottom part of his tibia. He's still getting a final opinion by doctors before the Redskins determine whether to put him on IR. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Campbell suffered an ankle sprain early in Monday's game that limited his mobility, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: Campbell was sacked six times and looked slow in and outside of the pocket. The 'Skins have a bye next week which should allow Campbell to recover for Week 9. Andre Carter - #99 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 252lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Carter recorded six tackles, a sack and a forced fumble against the Eagles on Monday night.
Impact: Carter has 6.5 sacks and three forced fumbles on the season. He is benefiting from Albert Haynesworth's presence on the line. Antwaan Randle El - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 185lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Randle El caught five passes for 39 yards in Week 7.
Impact: Nothing special here. This is the type of performance we've come to expect from the slot receiver. He also fumbled a punt. Devin Thomas - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'2" - 218lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Thomas caught three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown, the first of his career on Monday.
Impact: Thomas took over the starting wide receiver spot this week. It turned out to be the best game of his young career. Fred Davis - #86 - Tight End - 6'4" - 250lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Fred Davis saw an expanded role Monday night after Chris Cooley suffered a broken ankle. Davis led the 'Skins with eight catches for 78 yards and a touchdown.
Impact: Expect Davis to take over the starting tight end role. He is very athletic for a tight end and has improved in practice over the last year. He should be involved in the game plan every week -- Davis was targeted 10 times against the Eagles on Monday night -- but do not expect the same production as Cooley. Santana Moss - #89 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 200lbs

RotoWire
News: Moss caught six passes for 78 yards in Washington's 27-17 loss to Philadelphia on Monday night.
Impact: It was a solid game for Moss, who typically is more of a feast or famine type player. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Portis carried just 14 times for 43 yards in Washington's 27-17 loss to Philadelphia on Monday night.
Impact: Portis didn't run particularly well in this contest, but his low production level was more a byproduct of the 27-7 hole that the Redskins found themselves in during the second quarter. Jason Campbell - #17 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Campbell completed 29 of 43 passes for 284 yards and two touchdowns with an interception in Washington's 27-17 loss to Philadelphia on Monday night.
Impact: Campbell wound up with pretty good numbers in this one, but the game was never in much jeopardy as the Eagles raced out to a 27-7 first half lead. Chris Cooley - #47 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Jim Zorn confirmed at his post-game press conference Monday that Cooley has a broken ankle.
Impact: While Zorn did not immediately say that Cooley is done for the season (as earlier reports did), he did acknowledge that the tight end will be out for some time. In any case, Cooley owners will need to find a replacement. Look for Fred Davis to see an expanded role at TE for Washington in Cooley's absence. Chris Cooley - #47 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cooley will reportedly miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury he suffered Monday against the Eagles, NFL.com reports.
Impact: There was also talk that it may be a foot injury, but assuming the report is accurate, this is a major blow to a reeling Redskins' offense. Chris Cooley - #47 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
STATS
News: Cooley could return to action in a month after having an operation on his broken right ankle.
Impact: Cooley's surgery was Wednesday, two days after he was injured in the first half of Washington's 27-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Redskins originally feared the two-time Pro Bowl player could be sidelined for two months and might have to go on injured reserve, missing the rest of the season. After Wednesday's operation, though, he is expected to miss four weeks, barring any setbacks. Chris Cooley - #47 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cooley left the field on a cart Monday night after hurting his right leg. He is not expected to return, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: No word yet on the severity, but we'll be monitoring this one closely this week. DeAngelo Hall - #23 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hall (knee) is active and will start Monday against Philadelphia.
Impact: Hall isn't a big tackler, but he has three interceptions this year and is safe to roll with as an IDP on Monday night. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Haynesworth (ankle) is active for Monday night's game against Philadelphia.
Impact: Haynesworth managed a half-sack last week despite the injury and will continue to push through the pain on Monday night. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Portis (ankle) is active and will start Monday against Philadelphia.
Impact: Portis went over 100 rushing yards for the first time in last week's loss to Kansas City despite numerous leg injures that continue to bother him. He's ready to go again on Monday night. DeAngelo Hall - #23 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Sat. Oct 24, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hall missed practice Saturday with a sore knee, but coach Jim Zorn said he expects Hall to start Monday against Philadelphia, the Washington Times reports.
Impact: It looks like Hall's absence from practice was more of a precaution than anything else. Feel free to roll with him this week if he's one of your IDPs. Clinton Portis - #26 - Running back - 5'11" - 221lbs
Sat. Oct 24, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Portis (ankle) returned to practice Saturday, the Washington Times reports. He is officiallly listed as questionable, but coach Jim Zorn said Portis will start Monday against Philadelphia.
Impact: Portis is dealing with foot, calf, knee and ankle injuries, but none of the ailments have kept him out of a game this season. He is safe to start Monday against the Eagles. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Sat. Oct 24, 2009 |
STATS
News: Haynesworth is questionable for Monday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a sprained ankle.
Impact: Haynesworth practiced Saturday for the first time this week, but he was limited. Coach Jim Zorn said Haynesworth will be a game-time decision. Albert Haynesworth - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'6" - 350lbs
Sat. Oct 24, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Haynesworth (ankle) returned for a limited portion of practice Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against Philadelphia, NFL.com reports.
Impact: Haynesworth played with the injury last week, but he was listed as probable on the final injury report, so he's apparently not feeling as well as he did last week. He should be able to play Monday, but the slight uncertainty over his status makes him an IDP gamble. Chris Samuels - #60 - Tackle - 6'5" - 317lbs
Sat. Oct 24, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Samuels released a statement Friday countering an earlier report that said he was going to retire, the Sports Network reports.
Impact: Retirement may still be the end result of Samuels' neck injury, but his statement indicates that he would like to play again. "I hope to see where I am physically over the next couple months," Samuels said. "At this time, I have not made a decision, but I love playing for the Redskins and hope to be back." |
