Rapoport: Redskins will consider QB Colt McCoy as Week 5 starter

Sep 30, 2019

Case Keenum was benched against the Giants in Week 4. Ian Rapoport said it doesn't necessarily mean Dwayne Haskins will be the starter, and Colt McCoy is also in the picture.

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport said Gruden likes McCoy a lot, and McCoy is now fully healthy after a leg injury. Rapoport added the team will not just hand the job to Haskins because he was a first round pick. This week, the Skins take on the Patriots, so it's perhaps not an ideal situation for Haskins to make his first NFL start.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Fantasy Impact:

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
