Wendell Smallwood News
Washington Football Team running back Wendell Smallwood has been elevated to the active roster. That means, Smallwood could get involved versus the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16. Lead back Antonio Gibson (toe) is listed as questionable and J.D. McKissic (concussion) is already ruled out. That being said, Washington could be forced to use a committee of Jaret Patterson, Jonathan Williams, and Smallwood. Patterson would be the best option out of the three, but none are fantastic options. Smallwood only has one rushing attempt on the season. It's unlikely he'll do anything worth rostering him ahead of Week 16.
Washington Football Team running back Wendell Smallwood and defensive end Daniel Wise were the latest players on the team to be placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday after testing positive for the virus, according to a source. Smallwood has played in only one game for Washington 2021, when he caught both his targets for 12 yards and rushed once for a 13-yard gain in the Week 13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 27-year-old will have until Tuesday to return a negative test and be cleared from the protocols. If pass-catching back J.D. McKissic (concussion) misses his third straight game, Jonathan Williams will likely serve as the seldom-used backup to Antonio Gibson against Philadelphia.
Washington Football Team running back Wendell Smallwood is likely to play the J.D. McKissic role in the offense, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Many thought that rookie Jaret Patterson could see an increased role, but that doesn't seem to be the case this week. Smallwood has shown some upside as a pass-catcher from his time in Philadelphia but doesn't seem like a reliable fantasy option in Week 13. McKissic has found himself as a fantasy-relevant option in the past, but it will be hard to count on Smallwood producing similar numbers after seeing no playing time this season. Still, the former Eagle could have some lower-end FLEX appeal in deeper leagues because of his potential to catch a few passes in this one.
