Washington Commanders DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to suit up on Sunday night in the wild-card playoff meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. Even if Crowder is available this weekend, fantasy managers setting DFS lineups or playing in playoff leagues should have much better flex options with upside than the 31-year-old. He only played 20 snaps on offense and didn't see a single target in the Week 18 win over the division-rival Dallas Cowboys in the regular-season finale. Despite Noah Brown being out for the year, Crowder's role in the offense hasn't really grown, and he's been the WR4 behind Terry McLaurin, Olamide Zaccheaus and Dyami Brown. Crowder has only nine receptions all year for 72 yards and two scores on 13 targets through six games played.

Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez is a risky play in DFS formats this weekend, facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gonzalez has been tasked to replace the injured Austin Seibert (groin) and has gone 5-for-7 on attempts and perfect on extra points. Both of his missed attempts came from over 40 yards out. Over the past two weeks, Gonzales has only attempted one field goal per game, as the Commanders have been very efficient in the red zone. However, he has made five extra points over this stretch. Despite playing on a high-octane offense, given his struggles from deeper rangers, he is best to leave off of your DFS lineup as he is one of the least-proven kickers in the playoffs.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has enjoyed a fantastic season and should be viewed as a top pick at tight end during Wild Card Weekend facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran tight end has found the back of the end zone six times over his previous seven contests. Over his past two games, Ertz has seen 6.0 targets per game and has tallied 58.0 yards per game. During this stretch, he scored three times, including twice in their playoff-clinching victory over the Atlanta Falcons. With Noah Brown (kidney) on the injured reserve, Ertz should continue to see a high volume of targets his way, especially in the red zone. During this seven-game stretch, Ertz saw six targets within the five-yard line and seven within the ten-yard line. He is a high-floor TE1 with TD upside facing a struggling Tampa Bay secondary.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is an intriguing value play in DFS formats this weekend, facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Since Noah Brown (kidney) has been placed on the injured reserve, Zaccheaus has grown into the No.2 wide receiver over the past four weeks. During this span, Zaccheaus has seen a solid 6.5 targets per game and averaged 15.3 PPR points per game. After tallying just 36 yards in Week 15, he averaged an impressive 68.7 yards per game over the final three games of the season. During this three-game stint, he found the end zone three times. Facing a Tampa Bay secondary that has allowed the seventh-most PPR points to opposing wideouts makes Zaccheaus a strong value play in DFS formats this weekend.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin carries high-end WR1 upside in the Wild Card Weekend when he faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last week, McLaurin enjoyed a fantastic bounce-back outing, bringing in eight of his 12 targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. In Week 17, he caught just one pass for five yards. Since Week 3, McLaurin has only scored under 10.0 PPR points on two occasions and averaged an impressive 17.2 PPR points per game over this stretch. During this span, McLaurin saw 7.0 targets per game while tallying 70.5 yards per game. Even though McLaurin caught just two passes for 17 yards the first time he faced this Tampa Bay defense in Week 1, rookie Jayden Daniels has come a long way as a passer during the season, and McLaurin should be expected to have a higher output in this game. Facing a secondary that has allowed the seventh-most PPR points to opposing wide receivers makes McLaurin a high-end WR1 in DFS formats.
