Fantasy: Offensive Depth Chart - Washington Redskins

Quarterback:

1 – Rex Grossman

After spending 2008, 2009 and most of 2010 on the bench, Grossman saw the last three starts in the regular season with the Redskins.  Extrapolating his three starts into a full season, you get 373 completions on 672 attempts for 4480 yards, 37 touchdowns and 21 interceptions. His PFF rating was close to the same under pressure and not under pressure.

2 – Donovan McNabb

In his first season with the Redskins his play was disappointing. His big problem was that on 40% of his pass plays he was under pressure. On those plays he completed 42% of passes, had just 5.5 yards per attempt, and was sacked 37 times. When he wasn’t under pressure he completed two thirds of his passes for 8.1 yards per attempt.

3 – John Beck

Since playing five games with the Dolphins in 2007 as a rookie, he has yet to play an offensive snap.

Running Back:

1 – Ryan Torain

In the 2010 season he started nine games, and played above average football with 4.5 yards per attempts with 3.3 of those coming after contact. He didn’t add much to the passing game, with just 18 catches for 125 yards. He only had six total touchdowns which isn’t very high for the number of times he touched the ball.

2 – Keiland Williams

He saw the most snaps by all running backs for the Redskins in 2010, mostly as a backup along with a few starts when injuries piled up. He averaged four yards per carry, but just had seven players miss tackles on him despite 65 carries.

3 – James Davis

He saw 56 snaps for the Redskins when injuries were hurting them with just 19 rushes for 60 yards and no touchdowns.

4 – Andre Brown

He had just two snaps in one game with the Broncos in the 2010 season where he had carries on both and lost a yard.

5 – Chad Simpson

He saw 51 snaps with the Colts in 2009 where he had 102 yards on 15 carries, with two touchdowns and he caused four missed tackles.

6 – Shawnbret McNeal– Reserve/Futures Contract

Fullback:

1 – Michael Sellers

He had four carries in 2010 for two yards, along with 20 catches for 224 yards.

2 – Darrel Young– Reserve/Futures Contract

Wide Receiver:

1 – Santana Moss

In 2010 Moss was clearly the best wide receiver on the Redskins roster. In 12 of his 16 games he saw at least eight targets, and in 10 games saw at least 70 yards. He excelled at the short passes, but struggled on passes beyond 20 yards where he only caught six of 22 balls. 369 of his receiving yards were on passes in the middle of the field between 0 and 10 yards.

2 – Anthony Armstrong

After spending the first three weeks on the bench, he joined the Redskins starting lineup and saw 84% of the snaps in the games he started. He was more of a deep threat for the Redskins, with over half his catches being beyond 10 yards. This led to a low 56% catch percentage, but 19.8 yards per catch.

3 – Roydell Williams

In Week 10, he emerged as the third receiver on the Redskins roster. However he only had one game where he saw more than one catch, and that was Week 13 against the Giants with three catches.

4 – Malcolm Kelly

He last played in 2009 where he was a starting receiver for the Redskins. Despite starting he only had 25 catches for 347 yards and no touchdowns.

5 – Brandon Banks

He only saw 21 snaps during the season, with at most four coming in a single game. Had two runs and two catches during the season.

6 – Terrence Austin

At the end of the season he saw 45 snaps, with 20 of them coming in Week 17. He had three catches for 47 yards.

7 – Mike Furrey

Last played as a slot receiver for the Browns in 2009. He had 23 catches for 170 yards.

8 – Maurice Price – Reserve/Futures Contract

9 – Taurus Johnson – Reserve/Futures Contract

Tight End:

1 – Chris Cooley

He has been the clear top tight end in the Redskins for a number of years, although he had a below average pass PFF rating in 2010. He saw the second most targets for a tight end with 116 which kept him as one of the better fantasy options. His 66% catch rate is a little low, as are his 11 yards per catch.

2 – Fred Davis

He was the number two tight end for Washington, and was in for 37% of snaps throughout the year. He had two big catches of 71 yards and 62 yards which greatly inflated his receiving statistics. He saw at most four targets in a game.

3 – Logan Paulsen

He saw 32 snaps on the season, and only one game with more than five. He had two catches for 10 yards.

Kicker:

1 – Graham Gano

He was one of the more inconsistent kickers in the league at 73.5%, and three of his missed field goals came between 30 and 39 yards.
