6. QB Nate Sudfeld

I feel like a broken record with Nate Sudfeld. Teams cannot afford to dress three quarterbacks heading into a game. Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy will continue to be active for the Redskins. However, with Cousins struggling there is a chance that Sudfeld could see some action down the line.

If Cousins cannot get the Redskins enough wins to stay competitive, the team may decide to mail it in towards the end of the season. They could end up out of playoff contention, and they could tank to get a higher draft selection. If that happens, the team may end up starting Sudfeld for a game or two just to get a look at the rookie. That would be a worst case scenario for the team.

For now, the Redskins will continue to sit Sudfeld. There is a chance he will see some action this year, but it will likely not be until November at the earliest.
