"With the Titans, Smith’s offense got the ball to tight end Jonnu Smith in the red zone quite a bit. Smith finished the 2020 season with eight touchdowns while catching 41 passes for 448 yards.

With this direction on offense, Hurst’s skill set has a chance to be utilized to its full potential."

Hurst was named as someone who could benefit from new head coach Arthur Smith's offense, as both Jonnu Smith and Anthony Firkser combined for 118 targets in 2020.

The Washington Football Team has agreed to terms on a 2-year extension for QB Taylor Heinicke, sources say, worth $8.75M. There are also incentives depending on how many games he starts. Real security for their resilient QB who started and impressed in the playoff game.

With Alex Smith’s future uncertain and Kyle Allen not under contract for 2021, the Football Team secures Taylor Heinicke for at least two seasons. He started their lone playoff game in 2020, going 26-of-44 for 306 yards, a TD and a pick.

Rivera said they have to consider rotating Alex Smith and Taylor Heinicke on Saturday. Playing an aggressive defense contributes to that thinking...

Rivera has emphasized that he's not saying he will rotate the QBs, but something he will consider. Under what circumstances? Not quite sure yet...

Alex Smith had limited mobility in Week 17 against the Eagles, after recovering from a calf injury that had sidelined him for two contests. The potential for a dual-QB day makes neither signal-caller playable for DFS in the Wild Card round.

Ravens RB Gus Edwards is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.

Edwards was added to the injury report Friday. If he cannot go, Justice Hill and potentially Mark Ingram would get some work.

Washington Football Team QB Alex Smith is questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post.

Smith has the experience and reps in the offense, but is a questionable play after missing over one game with his injury. Taylor Heinicke would get his first start of the season if Smith can't play.

Jaguars WR D.J. Chark will not play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Can we all agree to forget Chark's 2020 and look forward? The next time we see the talented wideout, he should be receiving throws from QB Trevor Lawrence.

Washington has released QB Dwayne Haskins.

Washington had to start Haskins in Week 16 despite Haskins violating COVID rules by not wearing a mask at a nightclub. To top that off, Haskins was awful in a game that could have sealed the division for Washington. He was eventually replaced by Heinicke. Smith is expected to be back in Week 17 when the team faces the Eagles. The team just needs a win to win the division.

Ron Rivera said Alex Smith was "very close" to playing Sunday after having an "exceptional day" of practice Friday.

The tweet added when they checked in on him Saturday, he just wasn't quite there. Haskins started instead, was terrible and eventually got pulled for Heinicke. Expect Smith to be ready to go for a prime time game vs. the Eagles in Week 17. A Washington win means they make the playoffs as the NFC East Champion.
