Fantasy Football Player Notes

J.J. McCarthy is good to go this week after picking up a hip pointer last week. His success on the field hasn't equated to fantasy success over the last two games, but that could change this week. Over the last two games, he has scored zero touchdowns, which is holding his fantasy stats down. Washington's pass defense has improved. Over their last five games, Washington has allowed the sixth-lowest passing touchdown rate, the 12th-lowest passing success rate, the ninth-fewest fantasy points per dropback, and the 12th-lowest EPA per dropback. McCarthy is a solid QB2 this week who'll need to continue to be on his A game to be a QB1.
