Chase Young Fantasy

Washington Commanders pass-rusher Chase Young (knee) is off the final injury report on Friday and is a full-go for the Week 16 game against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Young will be make his season debut after rupturing his patellar tendon and tearing his ACL in 2021. Young was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list back on Nov. 21, but the Commanders have been cautious in bringing the 23-year-old pass-rusher back. Washington will surely ease Young back into the fold this weekend and for the rest of the season, so he probably isn't going to be in must-start territory for fantasy managers in IDP leagues. But Young's return will surely be a boost to an already strong Commanders pass rush.

Washington Commanders pass rusher Chase Young (knee) didn't suit up for the Week 15 matchup against the New York Giants. The superstar pass rusher hasn't played at all this season while he recovers from an ACL injury. Despite that, the organization is hopeful that Young will be able to play at some point this season. The Commanders still have three games left in the regular season. They would love to have Young on the field for those games considering this team is in the playoff hunt. The 23-year-old would be on a snap count, but having him out there would be huge for this team. Possibly, Young can return next week, but we'll have to wait and see.

Washington Commanders star pass rusher Chase Young (knee) won't suit up against the New York Giants on Sunday night, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. His season debut will have to wait another week. "While the Commanders would love to add a dynamic pass rusher, they also want to give Young the time he feels he needs to get ready to play," Rapoport writes. "The team will remain patient with Young and could very well get him back for any of the final three games as it fights for a wild-card spot." When Young does return, he'll be on a snap count so that the team can progressively work him back into action.
