Are Any Redskins Starting Today in Any Fantasy Leagues?

by Kevin Ewoldt on Dec 11, 2011 8:28 AM EST in Fantasy Football

The Redskins defense has been a bright spot this year, but starting them against the Patriots is probably not your best option, especially in leagues like Ken where points and yards against net you negative points. Redskins rank 27th in INTs with 8.
Anyone on Offense. With Trent Williams and Fred Davis out, how can any General Manager feel good about starting any Redskins player on offense? Roy Helu, maybe? The Skins have the Vikings next week and I don't expect our offense to do much against them either. I'd be doing some Cerrato-esque waiver-wire dumpster diving looking for favorable matchups. (Remember that one year where Kyle Boller subbed in week 16 to throw 4 TDs?? yea, that's how I lost my season. What a sham). Anyway, I was surprised to see only 77% of fantasy teams own Roy Helu.
Graham Gano - Ah Golden Graham. Nothing would be more exciting if your fantasy season came down to a Graham Gano extra point. The Fedex Field turf is in horrible condition from the Army Navy game yesterday. Personally, I'd be doing an add/drop this week with another kicker.

What about them?

That choke last week reminded me it was December and that I needed to do my Christmas shopping.

By the by, even rhetorical questions use question marks.

Good luck in your game and may Helu get you enough points before Kyle just starts passing every down. Isn’t the Pats top 10 in run D and last in pass.

I'm Rex, founder of the Dragon Kwon Do quarterbacking system! After one week with me in my dojo, you'll be prepared to defend yourself with the strength of mediocrity, the reflexes of a sloth, and the wisdom of a Shanahan. So come down today for your free-trial lesson!

Nothing wrong with starting any active Redskins Offensive player.

This is the last ranked defense in the league, people. Come on.

I started Helu.

I would have started Fred.

you know little

I started both Moss and Helu today, they had good games, could have been even better. You are obviously not on top of fantasy/Redskins knowledge to think that Helu is anything but a must start right now. Moss without Davis against NE was also a must start.

i started helu and picked up moss late last week and started him

i had the pats TE, ray rice as my other rb, tim tebow, mike wallce, and AJ green, my kicker was the pats K and had broncos defence. i needed the win for a playoff spot. and the guy i was going against had 2 star players out!!! andrea johnson. and A perterson. you know of course both his bench guys scored over 25 points!! i lost 111 to 130 some :( i think i might never play fantasy football again after the beating i took this year!
