Washington wide receiver Terrelle Pryor Sr. is caught in a rotation with teammate Josh Doctson. In six games this season, Pryor has just 18 catches for 223 yards and a touchdown.
Fantasy football Week 8: Terrelle Pryor Sr., start or sit?
Washington’s hottest offseason acquisition has struggled this season. We break down the fantasy implications.

Considering his likely draft position in most leagues, three catches a game simply isn’t enough. Pryor is starting to get dropped by fantasy owners who’ve lost patience.
Fantasy impact: Coach Jay Gruden has come out and stated he’ll now play the hot hand between Doctson and Pryor. Any kind of timeshare is never good for an individual player’s fantasy value unless it’s a rookie working his way up on the depth chart.
Pryor gets the short end of the stick in this scenario. He’s been held under 40 receiving yards four times this season. He’s also seen more than four targets in a game just twice in 2017.
The targets aren’t there. Neither is the production. Those in deeper leagues may hold on to Pryor for another week or two, but by mid-November he should be on benches everywhere.
Recommendation: Sit
