Pierre Garcon stands out as a fantasy stud in a losing effort

Garcon sparked the Redskins offense after they gave up 31 straight points to the Packers in Week 2. We discuss the fantasy implications.

USA TODAY Sports

Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon caught eight passes for 143 yards and his first touchdown of the season in a 38-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Garcon was targeted a team-high 13 times with the next closest receiver getting less than half as many looks.

Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners have to be excited about seeing Garcon string together a big game. He's in his second season in Washington and it looks like foot and toe problems he experienced last year are not affecting him for once. Due to his injury troubles last year, there's a good chance Garcon was a value play in your fantasy league and you should continue to roll with him in your starting lineup when the Redskins host the Detroit Lions next week. There's little doubt that game will be a high scoring affair.
