49ers to sign QB Brian Hoyer

Ian Rapoport

Mar 08, 2017 · 3:30 PM EST

It’s a 2-year deal for 49ers and QB Brian Hoyer. Fair to say, this makes it unlikely they bring in Kirk Cousins in a trade with Redskins.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a good landing spot for Hoyer, who is a fringe starter in the league at this point in his career. He's playing for a sharp offensive mind (HC Kyle Shanahan) and the 49ers figure to throw a lot as they try to stay competitive during a rebuilding year. In 25 career games where Hoyer has started and attempted at least 25 passes, he has a 12-13 record while averaging 268 yards passing (59.6 Cmp %), 1.48 TD and 0.84 interceptions (or 15.1 fantasy points per game). That's a bit more than what Sam Bradford and Alex Smith averaged last year. If he's the starter, he'll be in the streaming conversation in 2017.

Skins Beat: WR DeSean Jackson, QB Kirk Cousins struggling to get on same page

Washington Post

Nov 08, 2016 · 5:34 PM EST

While DeSean Jackson is getting older, he’s not showing many signs of losing his ability as a deep threat, at least in my eyes. The problem is more that Jackson and Kirk Cousins have struggled to get on the same page at times this season.

Fantasy Impact:

The story breaks down some of Jackson's routes and mostly puts the blame on Cousins. The author thinks maybe the team tries to find more ways to get Jackson the ball in the second half, as he's averaging less than four catches a game this year. Jackson has usually been a boom or bust play through much of his career which makes him a risky fantasy play most weeks as anything but a WR3 or lower.

Skins WR DeSean Jackson hurts knee, returns

CBS Washington

After hauling in a beautiful 44-yard TD from Kirk Cousins, DeSean Jackson was targeted over the middle on the Redskins’ closing drive before the half but came up limping after trying to dive for the ball in traffic.

DeSean Jackson being evaluated for left knee and ankle injury. Same injuries that limited him earlier this week.

Jackson walked off the field under his own power but with assistance from Redskins personnel.

Fantasy Impact:

Jackson returned to the game in the second half but it's obviously something to keep an eye on. Jackson finished five catches for 96 yards and a TD.

Skins look to create mismatches with Jordan Reed

ESPN

Aug 14, 2016 · 8:19 PM EDT

With tight end Jordan Reed aligned in a tight slot position to the right and running back Chris Thompson split further outside, Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins pounced on a defensive move. When safety DeAngelo Hall walked up to the line of scrimmage across from Reed, Cousins called an audible.

It turned into a touchdown pass, though if there had been officials it might have been a pick play (can’t rewind practice tape to check it if you don’t have it). But once Hall crept to the line, the Redskins changed to what amounted to a screen by Thompson. That freed Reed to run to the corner and catch Cousins’ pass.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story said, it was an example of how quickly the offense can adjust to a move by the defense. And the story said it's not just Cousins, but the entire offense. Something to keep in mind is Cousins, Reed and Thompson are in their third year in this offense, so they quickly were able to change their assignments.
