Garcon has played the last two weeks for Washington, recovering a fumble for a touchdown against Tampa Bay and catching three passes for 24 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan conceded earlier this week that Garcon didn't look 100 percent healthy in practice and during games.
Fantasy Impact: Outside of Week 1, Garcon has not been much help to fantasy owners and it’s because of this nagging injury. It isn’t news that Garcon is not healthy but there had been optimism that the injury was getting better.
Friday's news doesn't make Garcon a great fantasy start and he should probably be used only as a No. 3 receiver or flex play if active against the Minnesota Vikings.
