Taylor Heinicke Fantasy

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Taylor Heinicke will make the start in the Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Giants. Washington was eliminated from postseason contention with their loss on Sunday to the Philadelphia Eagles, and Washington's coaching staff will have an opportunity to evaluate their younger players in the season finale this Sunday. Heinicke continued his struggles on Sunday in the loss to the Eagles, going 27-for-36 for 247 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. It's been a tough year for Heinicke after he took over for veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 1, although he could finish the season off on a high note against New York. In his first meeting against them in Week 2, Heinicke went 34-for-46 for a season-high 336 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke was able to complete 27-of-36 passes for 247 yards in the team's Week 17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The dual-threat hasn't used his legs much this year, but he was able to carry the ball two times for 14 yards on the ground in this one. His fantasy production was limited without any touchdowns through the air, as he once again proved to be an unreliable option at the quarterback position. The 28-year-old could potentially be playing his last game as the starter in Week 18, as it seems all but certain that the Washington offense will look to head in a different direction at the quarterback position in 2022.

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke will look to bounce back after a miserable outing in Week 16 against the Cowboys. The 28-year-old will take on the Eagles who have given up the ninth-fewest passing yards this season while allowing the fourth-fewest yards per attempt. Heinicke doesn't have much upside in this one, as the Washington offense has struggled mightily over the past few weeks. At best, he is a low-end QB2 because of the tough matchup. Antonio Gibson will be inactive for this game, so Heinicke may be relied on to pass the ball a bit more than usual. Still, he has thrown for under 200 yards in three consecutive starts, so the dual-threat quarterback shouldn't be started in 10-12 team formats.
