The Denver Broncos waived rookie running back Stevie Scott III, wide receiver Trey Quinn and inside linebacker Joe Schobert on Tuesday. All three players will now look to latch on with another team before the start of the regular season. Scott had five carries for 13 yards and caught three of his five targets for 10 yards on 27 offensive snaps in the second preseason game against the Buffalo Bills last Saturday. Quinn led the team in receiving with five catches for 47 yards over the weekend, but he didn't impress enough to earn a roster spot in training camp. The 26-year-old pass-catcher hasn't played in an NFL game since 2020 with the Jacksonville Jaguars, when he didn't see a single target in just one game.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Trey Quinn was the team's leading receiver in Saturday's 42-15 preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills. Quinn finished with team-highs in catches (five), targets (eight) and receiving yards (47), but he did not manage to find the end zone. The 26-year-old former seventh-round pick of the Washington Commanders in 2018 didn't play at all last year and has 35 receptions for 273 yards and two touchdowns on 57 targets in 16 games (eight starts) in two seasons with the Commanders. He appeared in one game for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2020. Quinn is merely hoping to make the final roster out of training camp to provide depth at the position in 2022.
In a bit of surprise news, the Washington Football Team has waived wide receiver Trey Quinn. The third-year receiver had 26 catches for 198 yards and a touchdown last year, and while some thought he might step into a larger role in the slot in a depleted receiving corps, it appears someone else will have to step up instead. Steven Sims Jr. has already been a popular sleeper pick and gets a slight boost with this news, but this could also lead to more usage for rookie Antonio Gandy-Golden and veteran Dontrelle Inman, though neither of those players need to be on your re-draft radars at this point.
Paul Richardson, Trey Quinn Not Practicing Thursday
Washington Redskins wide receivers Paul Richardson (hamstring) and Trey Quinn (concussion) did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday. They're both unlikely to play in Week 14 against the Packers. Neither receiver has moved the fantasy needle in 2019 either, so they should both be firmly planted on the waiver wire in your league. Outside of rookie Terry McLaurin -- and he's a risky fantasy proposition these days as well -- no Washington receiver is worth your consideration for a lineup spot. If Richardson and Quinn are inactive this Sunday, rookies Kelvin Harmon and Steven Sims Jr. will be in three-wide sets. That means all of the Redskins pass-catchers will be rookies with a rookie quarterback throwing them passes. Look elsewhere.
Washington Redskins wide receivers Trey Quinn (concussion) and Paul Richardson (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Both players are on the wrong side of questionable to play in Week 14 against the Packers. In a stagnant passing offense led by rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins, it's impossible to trust any wideout in Washington not named Terry McLaurin. If Quinn and Richardson are inactive on Sunday, it'll be rookies Kelvin Harmon and Steven Sims Jr. in three-wide sets next to McLaurin. If you can, avoid the 'Skins offense altogether in fantasy against Green Bay.
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 13 against the Panthers and has been ruled out for the rest of the contest. Quinn came up empty on his only target in the game before leaving. With Paul Richardson inactive on Sunday, the Redskins are now down to rookies Terry McLaurin, Kelvin Harmon and Steven Sims Jr. in the passing game. With rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins under center, you can't expect much from this Washington offense through the air. McLaurin has been the only fantasy relevant wideout in D.C. this season. Quinn won't be a lock to return in Week 14 unless he passes the league's concussion protocol.
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn has not seen more than four targets in a game since Week 3, nor has he caught more than three passes in this same span. That trend regrettably continued in Week 11 with his second straight game of single-digit receiving yards. There was a glimmer of promise in his 2019 fantasy profile after being targeted 20 times combined in his first three games, but inconsistent QB play and an otherwise inept offense have cast him into the void. Whatever PPR upside Quinn possessed coming into the season, that ship has clearly sailed.
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn has an inviting matchup on his hands in a Jets team that has given up 15 total touchdowns and nearly 185 yards per game to his position. In most cases the Jets being on the other side of a WR matchup is cause to start the WR in question, but that's regrettably not the case regarding Quinn--or most of his teammates for that matter. Quinn last saw more than three targets in a game in Week 6. He last caught more than three passes in a game in Week 3. Add in the uncertainty that now exists at quarterback with Dwayne Haskins taking over as the starter (not that there was much certainty there to begin with, to be fair), and Quinn is best left on the waiver wire.
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn hasn't caught more than three passes in a game since Week 3, nor has he scored a touchdown since opening Sunday. He also has yet to eclipse 40 receiving yards in any game this season. If a huge fantasy day awaits him against the Bills on Sunday with rookie Dwayne Haskins likely starting at quarterback, you'd have to be a clairvoyant to know it. Quinn, along with all of his pass-catching teammates, can be ignored in all formats for Week 9.
Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn caught one pass for 15 yards on Thursday night, and that's about the size of it. Every downfield pass-catcher on this team not named Terry McLaurin has routinely been the victim of an absolutely hapless offense with no visible hope of turning things around. Quinn has been a total non-factor for fantasy purposes all year, and his outlook only gets worse if Dwayne Haskins has to make a Week 9 start in place of Case Keenum (concussion). This should go without saying by now, but ignore Quinn in all formats until further notice.
