WR Corey Washington makes the Giants

Aug 30, 2014

Corey Washington, the Giants leading receiver this preseason, has made the 53-man roster.

The 6-4 receiver out of Division II Newberry College in South Carolina was one of the biggest surprises in training camp. Washington had a string of three straight game-winning touchdown catches in the preseason, which electrified an otherwise dull offense and endeared himself to a coaching staff in search of a playmaker.

Fantasy Impact:

It remains to be seen what kind of fantasy value Washington will have. He'll still be behind guys like Victor Cruz, Rueben Randle and Odell Beckham at the very least, but the way he's played in the preseason, coupled with the Giants first team offense struggles, one would think he's at least given a chance in certain packages.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
