Washington @ Indianapolis
Team Totals: Colts 21, Commanders 18.5
Fantasy’s QB13 finisher in his initial 2022 start (vs. GB), Taylor Heinicke now faces a Colts team with middling pass-defense metrics across the board. In Week 8’s lowest-totaled game, Heinicke is a two-quarterback-league starter here. … Although Brian Robinson paced Washington’s Week 7 backfield in touches (22) and snaps (35), Antonio Gibson (13, 29) was heavily involved against Green Bay, and J.D. McKissic (1, 12) isn’t going away as a passing-game niche player. Robinson profiles as a TD-dependent RB2/flex option here. Gibson is a low-floor flex play. … Terry McLaurin leads Washington in targets (8), catches (5), yards (73), TDs (1), and first-down conversions (4) on Heinicke’s throws. I’m locking him in as an every-week WR2. … Indy has given up the league’s second-fewest fantasy wideout points. Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson warrant skepticism as WR4/flex options. … TE Logan Thomas (calf) returned to practice on a limited basis this week but figures to share time with John Bates in a best-case scenario.
