Temarrick Hemingway Signing With Washington Practice Squad
The Washington Football Team has signed tight end Temarrick Hemingway to their practice squad, according to John Keim of ESPN. Hemingway spent last season with Washington and spent training camp with the team. This transaction comes after Ricky Seals-Jones (hip) was injured in Week 10, while Logan Thomas (hamstring) is still trying to get healthy. If Seals-Jones and Thomas are not able to suit up in Week 11, that leaves John Bates and Sammis Reyes as the only tight ends on the active roster. Neither would have much fantasy appeal if this is the case, so fantasy managers should look for other options if they are still waiting on Thomas' return to action.
The Washington Football Team has released tight end Temarrick Hemingway. The 28-year-old had his moments throughout camp, but a concussion and a tough start to the preseason caused him to get jumped on the depth chart. In 21 career games, Hemingway has caught just one pass for 10 yards. So, even if he is added to a team that lacks depth at the tight end position, he can be disregarded in all fantasy formats. Sammis Reyes, John Bates, and Ricky Seals-Jones will continue to battle for the backup role behind starter Logan Thomas. Whoever wins the job could have some fantasy appeal in deeper leagues if Thomas were to miss some time. Still, there could be a lot more attractive options if this were to be the case.
Washington Football Team tight ends Temarrick Hemingway (concussion) and Sammis Reyes (concussion) were back at practice Monday. The two are battling with rookie John Bates, Ricky Seals-Jones, and Caleb Wilson for the No. 2 role behind Logan Thomas, so it is important they are able to suit up in the team's final preseason game on Saturday. Reyes has received high praise from the coaching staff because of his blocking ability, which would probably be the main factor if he were to crack the roster. Hemingway started to get some meaningful playing time last season before he suffered a wrist injury in Week 13, so the coaching staff is familiar with what he can bring to the table. Whoever wins the backup job could play some meaningful snaps, but they will have no fantasy appeal unless Thomas misses some time. Still, even if Thomas were to miss some time, the starting tight end for Washington would only be a potential option in deep leagues.
Washington Football Team tight end Temarrick Hemingway (concussion) was placed in concussion protocol on Sunday. Hemingway was listed as the No. 2 tight end on the unofficial depth chart before the preseason started, so this potentially opens up an opportunity for rookie John Bates and Ricky Seals-Jones to make an impression during the remaining preseason games if he were to miss the next couple of weeks. However, whoever locks up the backup tight end role to Logan Thomas won't have any fantasy appeal unless Thomas misses some time.
Temarrick Hemingway Building Chemistry With Ryan Fitzpatrick
Washington Football Team tight end Temarrick Hemingway, who is battling for a roster spot, has built a connection with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick according to team reporter Zach Selby. The 28-year-old has spent time with the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams before he joined Washington in 2020. He has seen just two targets in his career, turning it into one catch for 10 yards. Washington is likely only rostering two tight ends, with Logan Thomas having the top spot on the depth chart locked up. Hemingway will battle with Ricky Seals-Jones, Sammis Reyes, and rookie John Bates for the backup role. Whoever wins the backup role in Washington will not have any fantasy value unless Logan Thomas misses some time.
Washington Football Team reserve tight end Temarrick Hemingway (wrist) suffered a dislocated wrist in the Week 13 win over the Steelers on Monday, according to a source. Hemingway will miss the rest of the season as a result. The 27-year-old former sixth-rounder of the Rams back in 2016 caught his first NFL pass this year with Washington for 10 yards back in Week 5 against the Rams. His first two career targets have come in 2020 as well, so Hemingway obviously wasn't at all on the fantasy radar. Washington has Logan Thomas and Jeremy Sprinkle as the other tight ends on their active roster, so they could add another player or bring someone up from the practice squad to take Hemingway's place.
