Adam Humphries - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries could find his way into a significant role on Tuesday as Curtis Samuel (hamstring) has been ruled out, and Terry McLaurin (concussion) is listed as questionable. Humphries saw seven targets come his way in Week 14, which turned into four catches for 34 yards. The 28-year-old hasn't found the end zone all season, so it may be hard to trust him even if he moves up the depth chart this week. DeAndre Carter and Ricky Seals-Jones would likely see more looks close to the end zone, so at best Humphries is a dart throw in deep leagues. The quarterback situation in Washington is still unclear, so Humphries comes with a lot of risk in Week 15.
Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Humphries was limited in practice this week, so he should have a good chance at suiting up to close out Week 12 action. The 28-year-old has had more opportunities as the team's No. 2 receiver with Curtis Samuel (groin) playing in only two games so far this year, but he hasn't really taken advantage of it and has only 23 catches for 255 yards and no touchdowns on 32 targets through 10 games. Samuel, who is also questionable for Monday night, is expected to return on a limited snap count, so Humphries' role could be shrinking in the very near future.
Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries (hip) put in his second straight limited practice of the week on Friday. Unless Humphries suffers a setback and misses practice on Saturday, he should be fine to play in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night. The 28-year-old has served as the No. 2 wideout behind Terry McLaurin for the vast majority of the season with Curtis Samuel (groin) injured, but it hasn't amounted to much production. Humphries has hauled in 23 of his 32 targets for 255 yards and no touchdowns in 10 games played. He's coming off a two-catch, 30-yard performance in last week's win over the Carolina Panthers and has too low of a floor and ceiling to matter much in fantasy, especially with Samuel potentially playing on Monday night.
Adam Humphries - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries could have a significant role in Week 8 with Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) ruled out. Humphries saw just four targets last week and turned it into three catches for 36 yards, so any sort of bump in usage could set up the slot receiver for a solid day in PPR formats. In the earlier parts of the season, Taylor Heinicke has shown to have a connection with Humphries, going back to Week 2 where they connected on seven passes for 44 yards, and in Week 5 where Humphries tallied three catches for 73 yards. In deeper leagues, the 28-year-old could have some upside as a lower-end FLEX play if fantasy managers are lacking other options.
Adam Humphries - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries could be in for a huge role in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, as Terry McLaurin (hamstring) and Curtis Samuel (groin) have a status that is up in the air. Humphries would be one of the go-to options in the passing game and would be in line for double-digit targets for the first time this season. The 28-year-old finished with 73 yards on five targets last week, so any sort of increase in volume would make him an appealing option. Considering the matchup with the weak defense of the Chiefs, Humphries could potentially enter FLEX-territory if McLaurin and Samuel are both ruled out on Sunday.
Adam Humphries To Have Significant Role In Week 5?
Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries could be stepping into a significant role against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. Dyami Brown (knee) has already been ruled out, and Curtis Samuel (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday. With Logan Thomas (hamstring) out of the lineup, there could be the potential for Humphries to see all the targets he can handle in this game. Taylor Heinicke has shown he is not afraid to throw to the slot specialist, as in Week 2 he targeted Humphries eight times and connected on seven of those pass attempts. In PPR leagues he could have some FLEX-appeal, especially in deeper formats. He can be valued as a WR4 option with the potential to outperform his expectations.
Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries could have some appeal in deeper PPR leagues ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup with the Buffalo Bills. Humphries was targeted eight times and caught seven passes for 44 yards in the Thursday night win against the New York Giants, and if he continues to get this type of usage, he will potentially be playing himself onto the fantasy radar. In very deep formats, Humphries has some upside because he appears to be the No.2 option for Taylor Heinicke in the passing game, as Curtis Samuel remains out of the lineup. Dyami Brown could see an uptick in targets, but the safety blanket role that Humphries plays likely means he will remain an important part of the offense. In conventional formats, he shouldn't be rostered just yet, but he is someone to monitor moving forward.
Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries caught seven passes for 44 yards on eight targets in Thursday night's win against the New York Giants. Humphries was relied upon to be a security blanket for Taylor Heinicke, as he has potentially stepped into a significant role in the Washington offense with Curtis Samuel out of the lineup. He could be playing himself onto the fantasy radar in deeper PPR leagues if he can continue to demand a similar target share going forward. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneer has a realistic chance to be the No. 2 wide receiver on the depth chart for however long Samuel is sidelined, considering he was a bit more involved than rookie Dyami Brown in this game.
Adam Humphries Growing Chemistry With Ryan Fitzpatrick
Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries has reignited his chemistry with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick after reuniting in Washington. The two previously played together for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and have now found a strong connection over the first few training camp sessions. "Their chemistry was obvious throughout practice, as Fitzpatrick looked for the slot receiver on several plays. Not only did Humphries find ways to get open, but he also worked to get yards after the catch," says Zach Selby of the team's website. Humphries projects to be the third receiver on the depth chart, and could be an intriguing flier in deep leagues with PPR formats. He played in just seven games last season, putting up 23 receptions, 228 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. There probably won't be enough targets for him to have fantasy relevance unless Terry McLaurin or Curtis Samuel were to miss time. Treat him as a late-round stash in 12-14 team leagues.
Washington Football Team wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel are expected to each have more than 100 targets this year, while NBC Sports Washington's JP Finlay thinks that Adam Humphries will be the No. 3 wideout and get around 60 targets. The 28-year-old disappointed in his final season with the Tennessee Titans, playing in just seven games and finishing with 23 catches for 228 yards. With McLaurin and Samuel taking plenty of attention away on the perimeter, Humphries could thrive in the slot with veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick at the helm. With an ADP over 130, Humphries will likely go undrafted in standard-sized leagues, but he could become an early season waiver wire priority.
