Antonio Gandy-Golden Fantasy Stats

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said that tight end Antonio Gandy-Golden is retiring from professional football and will return to school. Gandy-Golden, a fourth-round pick by Washington in 2020 out of Liberty, caught just one of seven targets for three yards in 10 games (two starts) in his two seasons with the Commanders. He also had one carry for a 22-yard gain in his rookie season. The 24-year-old was making the transition from wide receiver to tight end this year, but that experiment is now over.

The Washington Football Team signed wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden to the active roster from the practice squad on Saturday and also elevated center Keith Ismael and defensive end Bunmi Rotimi from the practice squad. Gandy-Golden was on the game-day roster each of the last two weeks, but he played just five percent of the offensive snaps last weekend and has yet to be targeted this season in his two games. Washington will again be without wideouts Curtis Samuel (groin) and Cam Sims (hamstring) in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers, so Gandy-Golden can provide some depth in the receiving corps, but he's unlikely to play more than a handful of snaps.

Washington Football Team wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden has been promoted to the 53-man roster ahead of the Week 6 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. Stud wideout Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is uncertain to play following an injury during practice. Head coach Ron Rivera believes McLaurin will suit up, but it appears the team is getting prepared in case he sits. Gandy-Golden has not played this season and wouldn't be a safe fantasy option even without McLaurin available.

After being released on Tuesday, wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden has signed with the Washington Football Team practice squad. The 23-year-old caught just one pass for three yards in his rookie season and hasn't received the opportunity you would expect out of a fourth-round draft pick. With the additions of Curtis Samuel, Adam Humphries, and Dyami Brown this offseason, Gandy-Golden saw his spot on the depth chart plummet. A lot would have to unfold over the course of the season before we see the sophomore in any game action this year.

The Washington Football Team has cut wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The 2020 fourth-round pick had a solid camp, but a loaded wide receiver room in Washington was ultimately the deciding factor in his departure. The 23-year-old should be able to find an opportunity to play elsewhere, as his 6-foot-4 frame will be appealing to teams in need of a big wide receiver. He can be disregarded in all fantasy formats for now, as he doesn't figure to step into a significant role any time soon.

Washington Football Team wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden finished with four receptions for 39 yards in Saturday night's preseason finale. Gandy-Golden was targeted six times, with his longest catch of the night gaining 18 yards on the play. There have been reports out camp that the 23-year-old has done enough to earn a roster spot, and another solid preseason showing could have solidified his role with Washington. His playing time will likely be limited as he is going to be buried on the depth chart behind Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown, and Adam Humphries to start the season. Given his current situation, the sophomore is well off the fantasy radar.

Going into the preseason finale on Saturday night, there are a number of wide receivers fighting for a roster spot. There is believed to be one or two openings for Antonio Gandy-Golden, Dax Milne, DeAndre Carter, And Isaiah Wright. Gandy-Golden had an impressive week of practice, so he seems to have carved out a spot for himself. Milne has received high praise from head coach Ron Rivera over the past couple of weeks, so another strong showing from the rookie could make it hard for the coaching staff to leave him off the roster. Wright, Carter, and Milne are battling to be the team's punt returner, so whoever is the most impressive fielding punts on Saturday could ultimately be the factor that separates one from the others. After Terry McLaurin, Dyami Brown, and Adam Humphries exit the game, the four players on the bubble could receive the majority of snaps on Saturday.

Washington Football Team wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden is still fighting for a roster spot as the team heads into the final week of the preseason. Up to this point, the Washington coaching staff likes what they have seen from the 2020 fourth-round pick. Training camp was a good time to see what the sophomore can do because of the limited playing time he had last season. The former Liberty standout missed 10 games and put up just one catch for three yards, so he still has to prove he is worthy of a roster spot in a deep receiver room. With what Washington wants to do on offense, there could potentially be a role for the 6-foot-4 receiver to play. Head coach Ron Rivera described Gandy-Golden as "a big body who works well with the quarterbacks in terms of the vertical stuff." With Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback, Washington will look to take more shots down the field in 2021, which is something they couldn't do much of last year. Still, he doesn't figure to have any fantasy value as he will likely be buried on the wide receiver depth chart.

Washington Football Team rookie wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden earned a starting spot for Washington on Sunday, but that potential upside took a turn, with Gandy-Golden exiting with a hamstring injury. He has already been ruled out for the remainder of this contest. While it was a good sign for his future that he was in as a starter in two-receiver sets, the hamstring issue puts a damper on that for now. We'll have to see if this is a lingering issue.

Washington Football Team wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden has been behind Dontrelle Inman in team drills and seems to be opening the season fourth on the depth chart. Head coach Ron Rivera mentioned Gandy-Golden has been struggling to pick up the offense. Gandy-Golden is an intriguing small-school prospect Washington drafted in the fourth round, but it appears the lack of a traditional offseason program has him behind some of his fellow receivers. He's an interesting player to own in dynasty/keeper leagues, but he has no redraft value at the moment.
