Chase Young Fantasy

Washington Football Team defensive end Chase Young (groin) is likely to return to action Sunday against the Rams. Young was out of the mix for the first time in his young career last week, having recorded at least one sack in each of his first two professional games. Already a stalwart of the teams stout defensive line, having Young back in the mix will be a boon for the Washington defense, who will be tasked with slowing a Rams offense that has shown flashes of elite efficiency. The Washington defense still likely doesnt come into fantasy consideration unless as a contrarian DFS selection, but Youngs presence on the field makes it one worth watching as the season develops.

Washington Football Team rookie defensive end Chase Young (groin) is questionable for Week 5 against the Rams after sitting out last week. Young was limited in practice on Thursday and returned to a full practice on Friday, so it's looking like he'll be able to return this weekend. It's great news for a Washington defensive front that will have their hands full against an improved Rams offensive line. The second overall pick of this year's draft has eight combined tackles (six solo), two tackles for loss, two QB hits, a forced fumble and 2.5 sacks in his three games, showing that he can make an immediate impact as a pass-rusher in his rookie season. Although Young has high-end upside, you may want to wait a week before throwing him back into IDP starting lineups.

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera officially ruled out rookie defensive end Chase Young (groin) for Week 4 against the Ravens. Young didn't practice at all this week after suffering a moderate groin strain that he suffered in Week 3. Ryan Kerrigan will need to step up if Washington hopes to slow down Lamar Jackson and a potent Ravens offense as they look to bounce back from their Week 3 loss to the Chiefs. You'll obviously want to avoid Washington's defense/special teams in fantasy against one of the strongest offenses in the NFL this weekend. Young, the second overall pick in the draft, will have starting appeal in IDP leagues whenever he returns to action.
