Case Keenum Fantasy

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum was held in check by the Dallas defense for most of Sunday's Week 2 loss, but a pair of touchdowns late in the second half saved his fantasy day. Keenum finished with 26 completions on 37 attempts for 221 yards and the two scores. He also didn't commit any turnovers, giving him a decent floor for any DFS player brave enough to roll the dice on him against the Cowboys. His Week 3 matchup figures to be his toughest yet, as the Redskins will host the Bears on Monday Night Football. Keenum's first two weeks in Washington have gone relatively well, but the Chicago defense renders him nothing more than a bench stash if you're looking to grab a QB on the waiver wire for Week 3.

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum is coming off an impressive Week 1 outing, but a repeat against the Cowboys would be surprising. For starters, there is the obvious disadvantage of playing behind an offensive line that will be hard-pressed to stop Demarcus Lawrence on the pass rush. His receivers are also going to have to put up with an underrated Dallas secondary all day. There is the potential for game flow to work in Keenum's favor, as Washington could reasonably be expected to be playing from behind for most of this game. That said, this isn't a bye week and the Cowboys are a defense you should be avoiding in fantasy matchups where you can help it. You can find a safer QB for Week 2.

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum had himself a day against the Philadelphia Eagles. Keenum's final line for Week 1 was 30 completions on 45 attempts, 380 yards, three touchdowns, and zero turnovers. The Redskins were supposed to roll over for the Eagles in this matchup, but Keenum would have none of it, leading the Redskins to a 20-7 halftime lead on early touchdown tosses to Vernon Davis and Terry McLaurin. Washington's defense faltered down the stretch, forcing Keenum to continue to throw and rack up more fantasy production in the second half. His day culminated in a garbage-time touchdown to Trey Quinn. Most encouraging about Keenum's performance is that he connected with eight different pass-catchers. Keenum will have another tough test in Week 2 against the Cowboys, but so far, so good for the journeyman QB.
