Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 1: Jamison Crowder
Washington’s receiver will start in Week 1. We break down the fantasy implications.
Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports
Crowder has been a utility receiver of sorts throughout his young career. It’s clear that Washington doesn’t expect him to be a No. 1 guy. The team went out and acquired Terrelle Pryor in the offseason. That could open up room for Crowder for some big plays. Now that he has experience, 2017 could be a big year even behind Pryor.
Fantasy impact: Crowder might be able to capitalize often in a divisional matchup that always has the potential to be high-scoring. However, last year he only managed five catches for 89 yards in two games combined against Philadelphia. If you’re in a deep league and you have no choice, you’re going to start Crowder, but if you do have a choice, another option might be better. Feel free to leave him on the bench unless you absolutely must start him.
Recommendation: Sit
