Washington Commanders

Washington Commanders center Tyler Biadasz (illness) and kicker Zane Gonzalez (left foot) are both inactive for Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints. Biadasz did not appear on the injury report, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that Biadasz was fighting an illness and faced an uphill battle to play. In the end, he's inactive, leaving Michael Deiter in line to start at center. Meanwhile, Gonzalez had been listed as questionable after logging two full practices to end the week. He has been filling in for the injured Austin Seibert (groin), going 3-for-5 on field goals and 10-for-10 on extra points through three games. With Gonzalez sidelined, GregJoseph will step up as Washington's kicker. The 30-year-old missed three field goals earlier in the year with the New York Jets, but he's still an appealing fantasy option given the frequency at which the Commanders score.

The Washington Commanders elevated veteran kicker Greg Joseph from their practice squad with Zane Gonzalez (foot) questionable to play the New Orleans Saints in Week 15. It's likely a form of insurance for Washington, which put starter Austin Seibert (groin) on injured reserve earlier this year. Gonzalez was limited in practice earlier this week, but figures to still be the projected starter. Managers will have to consider if they want anything to do with Washington's kicking situation in the fantasy playoffs.

The Washington Commanders have placed wide receiver Noah Brown (internal injuries) on the injured reserve and have activated wide receiver Jamison Crowder from the reserve/injured list. Brown had 35 catches for 453 yards and a receiving touchdown this season. Crowder will now provide some depth at the wide receiver position for Washington behind Terry McLaurin, Dyami Brown, and Luke McCaffrey in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints.

Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez (foot) is off the injury report and will once again operate as the kicker for the Commanders. This weekend, he will face the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing kickers, and he'll be a viable streaming option in deeper formats. Over his past three games, Gonzalez has gone 3-for-5 on field goals and 10-for-10 on extra points. Gonzalez has replaced Austin Seibert (groin), who is currently on the Injured Reserve. While Gonzalez has struggled at times filling in for Siebert, playing on a high-octane offense makes Gonzalez a viable streaming option in deeper formats in Week 15. Fantasy managers in 12-team formats looking for a kicker should consider adding Gonzalez off the waiver wire.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz should be viewed as a solid TE1 in Week 15 when he faces the New Orleans Saints. Over the past three contests, the veteran tight end has found the end zone in each contest and averaged 7.0 targets per game. In addition, No.2 wide receiver Noah Brown (kidney) will not suit up, which should open up even more targets for Ertz. Even though the New Orleans Saints have defended opposing tight ends well, allowing the tenth-fewest PPR points to this position, fantasy managers in 12-team formats should feel comfortable starting Ertz in all forts as he should see a hefty target share as he looks to extend his scoring streak to four games.
