Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon continues to struggle with a foot injury but coach Mike Shanahan is confident that Garcon will help the offense again this season. Shanahan tells Jason Reid of The Washington Post that Garcon will show he's a No. 1 receiver once he's healed.
Garcon hurt his foot in Week 1 in New Orleans, where he scored on an 88-yard touchdown pass. Since then, Garcon has only played in two other games and his only other touchdown came on a fumble recovery against Tampa Bay. He will likely not play in Week 7 against the New York Giants.
Fantasy Impact: Shanahan has every right to have confidence in Garcon but fantasy owners just to have to wait. Garcon has tried to play twice since hurting the foot and had a setback days before the game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Week 1 seems like a long time ago for fantasy owners who have held on to Garcon, but he’s worth keeping if roster space isn’t a problem. He should not be in any fantasy lineups in Week 7.
