Team news: Washington Football Team

The Washington Football Team has agreed to terms with WR Adam Humphries, who visited today.

The new-look offense in Washington adds another weapon to its receiving room to go along with Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel and Cam Sims. Humphries boasts a career 279-2931-13 line with both TB and the Titans.

Former Panthers’ WR Curtis Samuel is signing a three-year, $34.5 million deal with Washington, per source.

Samuel is reunited with his old head coach, Ron Rivera, who apparently tried to trade for him last season. He'll form a potent 1-2 punch with Terry McLaurin and give new QB Ryan Fitzpatrick one of the fastest receiving duos to throw to. Samuel's new OC, Scott Turner, was the quarterbacks coach in Carolina from 2018 to 2019, so he's very familiar with Samuel's skillset. Usage-wise, Samuel should see 100-plus targets as Washington's No. 2 weapon in the passing game. That should put him in the WR3/WR4 range, fantasy-wise. He could finish higher if the team utilizes his running ability as well.

Veteran RB Lamar Miller is going back to the WFT on a 1-year deal, per @DrewJRosenhaus.

Lamar Miller, who was signed late last year from the Bears' practice squad, has plenty of guys ahead of him on the depth chart in the Washington backfield.

Former Dolphins’ QB Ryan Fitzpatrick reached agreement with the Washington Football Team on a one-year deal worth $10 million that could grow to $12 million with incentives, per source. Fitzpatrick is expected to head to camp as the starter, with competition from Taylor Heinicke.

FitzMagic will compete with Taylor Heinicke but is likely to win the starting job in Washington. It's good news for Terry McLaurin and Logan Thomas (and the rest of the Washington offense) since Fitzpatrick can still sling it and isn't afraid to put his receivers in a position to make plays. If he does win the job, he'll be a consistent option as a streamer in the weeks when he has a favorable matchup.

Sources tell me Washington is bringing back kicker Dustin Hopkins. He was slated for free agency but a new deal should be announced this week. 84 percent FG kicker in six seasons for Washington

Dustin Hopkins could be streamable in 2021 if this Washington offense takes a step forward. He's currently ranked as K26 in 4for4's never-too-early-rankings.

The #Titans are releasing WR Adam Humphries, source said.

The move saves Tennessee about $4.47M in cap space, and Humphries -- a big-ticket signing two years ago who's still only 27 -- gets a jump start on the market.

A concussion and COVID-19 limited Adam Humphries to just 23 catches for 228 yards and two scores in 2020. His release clears $4.7 million in cap space for the Titans. Known for slot work, Humphries should find a home in a WR room somewhere, but for now, is not on the fantasy radar heading into 2021.

The Washington Football Team has agreed to terms on a 2-year extension for QB Taylor Heinicke, sources say, worth $8.75M. There are also incentives depending on how many games he starts. Real security for their resilient QB who started and impressed in the playoff game.

With Alex Smith’s future uncertain and Kyle Allen not under contract for 2021, the Football Team secures Taylor Heinicke for at least two seasons. He started their lone playoff game in 2020, going 26-of-44 for 306 yards, a TD and a pick.

Rivera said they have to consider rotating Alex Smith and Taylor Heinicke on Saturday. Playing an aggressive defense contributes to that thinking...

Rivera has emphasized that he's not saying he will rotate the QBs, but something he will consider. Under what circumstances? Not quite sure yet...

Alex Smith had limited mobility in Week 17 against the Eagles, after recovering from a calf injury that had sidelined him for two contests. The potential for a dual-QB day makes neither signal-caller playable for DFS in the Wild Card round.
