Washington Redskins (Redskins Schedule)

Opponent Defensive Ranks

Tennessee Pass Defense – 2010: Yards Allowed/Game 25th - TDs Allowed T-6th

Tennessee Rush Defense – 2010: Yards Allowed/Game 11th – TDs Allowed T-4th

Washington Offensive Cast

Donovan McNabb (QB Week 11 Ranking: Not ranked) 2010 Season: 176/308 – for 2,266 yards & nine TDs

McNasty finally put up a multi-TD game last week but don’t expect that to be the norm from here on out.  He’s still bench material.

Ryan Torain (RB Week 11 Ranking: Not ranked) 2010 Season: 91 carries for 391 yards & three TDs || Eight receptions for 55 yards & one TD

Torain has been ruled out for Week 11.

Clinton Portis (RB Week 11 Ranking: Not ranked) 2010 Season: 49 carries for 195 yards & two TDs || Four receptions for 41 yards & zero TDs

Portis will suit up, but he’s not healthy enough to be used extensively in this game.

Keiland Williams (RB Week 11 Ranking: No. 25) 2010 Season: 26 carries for 127 yards & three TDs || 18 receptions for 135 yards & two TDs

Keiland will run the show once again and should put up a good 100 total yards.  However, with Portis coming back this week, he might not get a full workload, so temper your expectations a bit.

Santana Moss (WR Week 11 Ranking: No. 34) 2010 Season: 51 receptions for 632 yards & two TDs

Moss was held in check pretty well last week by Asante Samuel, and it won’t get much better this Sunday drawing the attention of Cortland Finnegan.  He always has the chance to break a big one off, so if you have to play him this week, don’t be too discouraged.

Anthony Armstrong (WR Week 11 Ranking: Not ranked) 2010 Season: 20 receptions for 451 yards & one TD

Armstrong had a few decent weeks this season but hasn’t been consistent enough to depend on him as a starter for your team.

Chris Cooley (TE Week 11 Ranking: No. 13) 2010 Season: 42 receptions for 463 yards & two TDs

Cooley is still getting the targets (second in the league with 68, one behind Witten), but the TDs are still missing in his stat column.  Maybe that changes this weekend against a Titans team that gives up the eighth-most fantasy points to his position.

Tennessee Titans  (Titans Schedule)

Opponent Defensive Ranks

Washington Pass Defense – 2010: Yards Allowed/Game 31st - TDs Allowed T-28th

Washington Rush Defense – 2010: Yards Allowed/Game 25th – TDs Allowed T-12th

Tennessee Offensive Cast

Vince Young (QB Week 11 Ranking: Not ranked) 2010 Season: 81/140 – for 1,090 yards & 10 TDs

Vinsanity sits just outside my rankings this week but could have himself a decent game against a woeful Redskins defense.

Chris Johnson (RB Week 11 Ranking: No. 2) 2010 Season: 195 carries for 838 yards & nine TDs || 23 receptions for 97 yards & zero TDs

Randy Moss may have looked useless to the common eye last week but not to CJ2K.  Johnson saw holes he hadn’t seen all year because of him, and now that Randy is somewhat integrated into the offensive game plan, Johnson should be able to run as freely as he did back in 2009.  Washington is about as bad as it gets on the defensive side of the ball, so at home in Tennessee, expect CJ28 to go a little nutty this weekend.

Randy Moss (WR Week 11 Ranking: No. 19) 2010 Season: 23 receptions for 339 yards & five TDs

Moss wasn’t used as much—more than a decoy against the Dolphins last weekend, but you have to give credit to Miami as they blanketed him pretty well all game long regardless.  The Redskins, however, won’t be able to do so as they own the second-worst pass D in the league in terms of yards and are tied for fourth-worst in TDs allowed.  DeAngelo Hall, being a bit gimpy, doesn’t hurt Moss’ chances for a big game either.

Nate Washington (WR Week 11 Ranking: No. 37) 2010 Season: 24 receptions for 377 yards & five TDs

With Randy Moss on board, Washington increased his fantasy worth a TON, and it showed immediately last week with Nate catching a touchdown and being targeted nine times (tied his season-high).  The Redskins pass D sucks, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see even better numbers this Sunday.

Justin Gage (WR Week 11 Ranking: Not ranked) 2010 Season: 12 receptions for 161 yards & zero TDs

With Britt out, Gage returns to the WR3 role on the team…which pretty much amounts to diddly-squat in the Titans offense.

Bo Scaife (TE Week 11 Ranking: Not ranked) 2010 Season: 26 receptions for 230 yards & two TDs

Scaife was targeted quite a bit with Moss drawing double-coverage, but he’s still not dependable enough to start on your fantasy team.
