The Washington Redskins are one of the more unpredictable teams in the NFL right now because of some question marks on their offense. Those question marks are making it very difficult for fantasy football owners to order Redskins on their cheat sheets.

Fantasy football season is officially here. With real NFL games just a week and a half away, fantasy leagues all over the country are holding their drafts. Aug. 26 is National Draft Day this year, and with that day comes the final test for preseason fantasy football rankings, sleeper picks, bust predictions, and cheat sheets.

This year, the Washington Redskins are guilty of muddling many rankings. Because of the loss of Derrius Guice, the running back position has been in constant flux. Additionally, the addition of new talent to the receiving corps and a new quarterback coming to town really makes it hard to predict what the team’s pecking order will be in 2018.

We know that one of the primary goals of fantasy football is to land at least one player from a team that you’re going to be cheering on. Chances are that if you’re reading this, you’re a Redskins fan and you came here to get Redskins-specific analysis for the ’18 fantasy football season.

Whether it’s health, inconsistency, or lack of chemistry, there are many things that can collapse a fantasy football team. At this point in time, these are the best tips and pieces of advice we have about how to approach your fantasy draft from a Redskins perspective.
