Fantasy Player Projections

John Beck

After Rex Grossman's dismal performance last week against the Eagles, Beck entered and led the Redskins to their only TD. He will get the start against Carolina and faces a tough defense that is ranked 11th against the pass this season.

Ryan Torain

Torain is dominating the touches out of the Redskins' backfield, and Washington is facing the 31st ranked defense against the run this week. If he can stay healthy, Torain remains a valuable fantasy back.

Roy Helu Jr.

Despite the change of starters in the Redskins' backfield, Helu remains the primary backup. With an injury-prone Ryan Torain ahead of him, Helu's opportunity to be the starter could be right around the corner.

Jabar Gaffney

Gaffney has accepted his role as the Redskins' possession receiver, who won't get tons of targets each week and will rarely get in the end zone. Because of that, he remains a weak fantasy option.

Santana Moss

Moss struggled last week against Nnamdi Asomugha and the Eagles' secondary, catching only two passes for 38 yards. The Panthers' pass defense is ranked right behind the Eagles', although the talent isn't quite as high.

Fred Davis

With Chris Cooley battling a new injury, Davis becomes the primary tight end option for the Redskins. He has developed a nice chemistry with Rex Grossman,but that goes out the window with John Beck under center.

Graham Gano

Gano has been getting more consistent as the season progresses and has gone back-to-back games without a miss. If the Redskins' offense can figure out how to move the ball downfield, Gano could be busy this week.

The Redskins' defense is 11th against the run so far this year, but they will be heavily tested this week by the Panthers, who have solid runners in DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart and Cam Newton.

Cam Newton

Newton was bound to return to earth sooner or later, as evident by his Week 6. But, he is still the torching teams on the ground, and is arguably the Panthers' best running back in addition to his QB duties.

Jonathan Stewart

Stewart made the most of his limited touches and was Carolina's most productive running back last week, scoring his first touchdown of the year.

DeAngelo Williams

Just when things start going well, Williams hits another snag with a dud against the Falcons. Another stiff test awaits against the Redskins this week.

Steve Smith

After a fiery start, Smith is leveling off along with Cam Newton, but he remains the top option in the receiving game every single week.

Legedu Naanee

Naanee has yet to score this season, but has seen his receiving numbers rise the past few weeks.

Greg Olsen

Olsen is getting the targets but just can't haul them all in with a rookie under center.

Olindo Mare

A good play each week with this offense on the field so much.

They can't stop anybody, although John Beck could change that quickly.
