Redskins @ Falcons

Washington Redskins: The quarterback situation in Washington has not progressed as both Case Keenum and Dwayne Haskins have continued to struggle. With Colt McCoy suffering a set back in his recovery from a broken leg, this week is critically important for both Keenum and Haskins. It should be roughly an even split for both QBs. With the rest of the starters receiving a good look tonight, I like pairing Haskins with the ultimate veteran, Vernon Davis, as a solid security blanket…

Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons are currently struggling with a few facets of their overall product including a rocky kicking situation and their offensive line which they poured money into and have yet to show any promise through the first few weeks.

It will be nice to see Devonta Freeman get some serious run for the first time this season after struggling with injury last season (missed 14 of 16 games). With Julio Jones and Russell Gage sitting out tonight’s contest, Calvin Ridley and Devin Gray are incredibly intriguing from a DFS standpoint with Matt Ryan out there.

Players to use in DFS: Dwayne Haskins (QB-WAS), Vernon Davis (TE-WAS), Calvin Ridley (WR-ATL), Devin Gray (TE-ATL)
