The Washington Redskins are getting ready to start the second half of their season. Here’s a look at three guys who could go off following the bye week.

The Redskins bye week is officially over. The team was unfortunately graced with the earliest bye in the NFL this season, so in Week 4, the team wasn’t in action. Thankfully, the team was 2-1 going into the off-week, but now in the “second half” of the season, the team will have to play 13 games in 13 weeks.

Of course, there is some upside to having an early bye. And notably, it means that the team can stay healthier and better rested early in the season, and that will allow them to beat up more on worn-down opponents. Nothing is guaranteed, but anything is possible in the NFL.

To continue their winning ways — and notably, to continue leading the NFC East — the Redskins are going to have to perform well coming out of their bye to ensure that they will have a chance to stay competitive. It should be doable, but a couple of games against the NFC South won’t make things easy for them.

With that said, the Redskins will need to get some contributions from key players. Here’s a look at three guys who could be primed to go off following the team’s Week 4 bye.
