Antonio Gandy-Golden

Receivers who are 6'4/220 should not be able to move as well as he does. Incredible size for the position and perfect X receiver. Great route running ability and able to cut easily in and out of his breaks. Great start/stop ability, which allows him to sell the 9 route and decelerate and hit the comeback. Able to accelerate quickly after the catch and powerful enough to carry defenders. Incredible receiving ability. Constantly making tough grabs and one handed catches. Majority of his catches are away from the body and solely with his hands. Absorbs the ball well. One of the best in this class in contested catch situations. Extremely natural in being able to go up and highpoint the ball. Has an advantage on nearly every NFL corner due to his size and wingspan. Excels at tracking the ball while it's in the air. Constantly overthrown on tape, but should dominate when paired with a competent QB. Not overtly quick when reeling in passes after the catch, but makes up for that with incredible power to pull smaller defenders and pick up yardage. Makes some ridiculous circus catches. Still filling out his frame too, so could get even bigger and stronger. Great release at the LOS. Will only get better as he's trained by high level coaches. Good, but not great, speed. Struggles to explode off the line and create separation. Concerns will be his fit in today's NFL with separation being the name of the game. Additionally, his background and school will be an uphill climb for him to get drafted high enough to see work early on when it comes to Fantasy. Overall, an incredibly talented and gifted wide receiver who will be dynamic if given the opportunity. Will need to work on explosiveness off the line and creating separation.

Antonio Gandy-Golden (hamstring) activated off IR ahead of Week 16

Washington has activated rookie WR Antonio Gandy-Golden (hamstring) off IR ahead of Week 16.

Fantasy Impact

Washington has released Dontrelle Inman in order to make room for AGG. Gandy-Golden hasn’t played in over two months, and isn’t likely to see a ton of work in Week 16, even if Terry McLaurin doesn’t suit up.
