Washington @ Detroit
Team Totals: N/A
Down to third-string quarterback Alex Smith following Dwayne Haskins’ benching and Kyle Allen’s broken ankle, Washington’s best means of generating offense at Ford Field will be to feed Antonio Gibson against a Lions front enemy backs gashed for 70/394/3 (5.63 YPC) rushing over its last two games and 15 all-purpose TDs in eight games this year. Yet The Football Team’s commitment to a two-man RBBC creates a major obstacle for Gibson; J.D. McKissic has out-snapped Gibson in three straight games and risen to fourth among NFL backs in catches (34). Gibson is a boom-bust RB2 play with a difference-making ceiling but unsafe floor. … McKissic has emerged as an every-week flex option in PPR leagues. He also leads Washington in targets (18) and receptions (11) on throws from checkdown-oriented Smith this year.
