Pierre Garcon injury update: Fantasy value remains on hold even after limited practice

Will the Redskins top receiver finally return? We break down the fantasy implications.

Geoff Burke-US PRESSWIRE

Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon 'could play Sunday' according to Mike Shanahan, after already having missed most of the season with a foot injury. Garcon originally injured his foot on an 88-yard touchdown reception against the Saints in Week 1 and then tried to return a few weeks later, but found that it was too soon.

Shanahan now says that he's making better cuts in practice and it seems as though there is a possibility that Garcon finally returns for good. The Redskins take on the Eagles in Week 11.

Fantasy Take: If he is active, it would still be a risky move to start Garcon after the last time he returned from the foot injury and was ineffective. If and when he does return to full health, it will be a major addition for the offense and Robert Griffin III as they have been unable to identify a number one receiver in Garcon's absence.
