Kirk Cousins, Robert Kelley, Jamison Crowder Post-Week 12 Fantasy Advice

Washington failed to complete its comeback in Thursday's 31-26 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, but its offensive effort was enough to send fantasy owners home happy. 

Washington accounted for 505 total yards of offense, 449 of which came from the arm of Kirk Cousins. Eight Washington players caught multiple passes, and four of them caught five or more balls. Cousins also added three touchdown passes, two going to Jordan Reed and one to DeSean Jackson.

Not riding the scoring train were Robert Kelley and Jamison Crowder, who were coming off big games in Sunday night's win over the Green Bay Packers. Kelley rushed for just 37 yards on 14 carries, while Crowder came through with 88 yards on eight catches.

Here is a look at the fantasy outlook going forward for Cousins, Kelley and Crowder.

OK, first of all, Cousins is getting paaaaaaaid this offseason. Like, super-duper paid. 

Second, Cousins has established himself as an every-week starter in 12-team formats. Over the last four weeks, he's averaging 386 yards per game while throwing 10 touchdowns against one interception. Washington is clearly a pass-first team, and he has one of the best supporting casts in football.

The recent numbers aren't sustainable going forward. But Cousins has thrown for less than 260 yards once all season and has multiple touchdown passes in seven of his last nine games. He's a low-floor option who doesn't have many intimidating matchups left on the schedule. There's not much else to say at this point.

Kelley won you your league last week if you started him and may lose it for you this week. Neither performance is the norm. 

Kelley is, by the best definition, steady. He's not going to break a lot of long gains, so he's susceptible to games in which he's going down after two or three yards on every carry. When it's working, Kelley can churn out five or six yards a pop. It all depends on the matchup.

Dallas did a nice job of bottling up the line of scrimmage every time he touched the ball Thursday. There was nowhere to run, and backup Chris Thompson didn't have much more success on his handful of carries. 

Barring a return to relevance for Matt Jones, Kelley is a mid-tier RB2 going forward. He's going to get the goal-line carries, of which there should be quite a few given Washington's offensive success.

Uhh...I don't know what to say here. Crowder's fine. He just didn't happen to be on the receiving end of a touchdown pass this week. If you started him in a PPR league—the only type where he's a no-brainer every-week start—then there is nothing to complain about. 

Keep deploying him as you regularly would.
