Chase Young Fantasy

Washington Football Team rookie pass-rusher Chase Young (ankle) suffered just a mild ankle sprain in the wild-card loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday night and was limited late in the game. It would've made Young questionable to play in the Divisional Round had the team advanced, but Young should be fine heading into the offseason after a very impressive rookie season after going second overall in the draft. The Ohio State product should win Defensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2020 after he recorded four forced fumbles, 44 combined tackles and 7.5 sacks in 15 games. His presence on Washington's defensive line immediately boosted their pass rush and made this defense a force to be reckoned with all season long. Young will be a weekly IDP lineup addition going into his sophomore season.

The Washington Football Team had a nice night for fantasy in a Week 17 win over the Eagles to clinch the NFC East. Washington sacked Philadelphia QBs three times while coming up with two interceptions and a fumble recovery. Rookie defensive lineman Chase Young led the Washington attack picking up a sack and fumble recovery while living in the Eagles backfield all night. Washington is a defensive unit on the upswing in fantasy with a talent like Young leading the way. A matchup with Tom Brady and the Buccaneers waits in the Wild Card round.

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.
