The Redskins have allowed over 130 rushing yards in five straight games. They play the Titans in Week 16.

Analysis: The Redskins' recent inability to bottle up opposing run games could prove costly in this outing, as Titans RB Derrick Henry has exploded the last two weeks against the Jaguars and Giants with a combined 308 rushing yards and six touchdowns. The Titans will likely ride Henry's hot hand since their passing attack remains uninspiring. That will limit the Redskins' chances of forcing turnovers since the Titans are more turnover-prone through the air. In fantasy championship week, it's unwise to…read more

The Redskins have allowed 28 or more points in each of their last three games. They play the Jaguars in Week 15.

Analysis: The Redskins' quarterback situation has ratcheted up the turnovers on the offensive side of the ball and hung their defense out to dry at times. That won't get any better against a strong Jacksonville defense, but the Jags have been held below 10 points in each of their last two outings while turning the ball over twice in that span. That provides the Redskins with a nice floor, but they've struggled to take the ball away lately and have a middling pass rush with 34 sacks. This group is…read more

The Redskins have allowed over 100 rushing yards in each of their last five games. They play the Giants in Week 14.

Analysis: The Redskins were strong against the run for the first half of the year. It's not clear what happened, but that fabric is deteriorating now. Giants RB Saquon Barkley was given more usage in the passing game in these teams last meeting as he accrued just 38 rushing yards. Barkley has been a force since the Week 9 bye, averaging 135 scrimmage yards per game and finding the pay dirt five times. His hot play has opened up the passing game as well, which has boosted the team to four straight games…read more

The Redskins' opponents score on 50 percent of red-zone trips ranking seventh in the league. They play the Eagles in Week 13.

Analysis: The Eagles' offense has been an utter disappointment this year, but its passing game still appears to have some gas in the tank after acquiring Golden Tate to complement Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor. This could be the game it breaks out against a Redskins' secondary that has allowed the 10th-most passing yards per game (260.9). Still, the Redskins' defense has plenty of upside by ranking fourth in the league with 21 turnovers and allowing just 20.8 points per contest. A low-scoring affair…read more

The Redskins have forced seven turnovers in the last two games. They play the Cowboys in Week 12.

Analysis: The Redskins limited Dallas to just 17 points in a Week 7 win, but it could be different on the road without turnover-averse Alex Smith directing their offense. QB Colt McCoy could put the Washington defense in tough positions if he turns the ball over in the wrong situation. Furthermore, the Cowboys are coming off two straight wins where their offense looked competent when it was needed most. In a game with playoffs on the line, expect both squad to put their best foot forward. The Redskins…read more

The Redskins rank third in the league with 18 forced turnovers. They play the Texans in Week 11.

Analysis: Prior to their Week 10 bye, the Texans hadn't turned the ball over in three straight games. The Redskins' passing defense may not pose much of a challenge to Texans QB Deshaun Watson, as Washington has allowed over 330 passing yards in both of the last two weeks. The Redskins' stagnant offense could result in the two teams playing a low-tempo game that won't result in much throwing, but Watson's ability to scramble and extend plays could still spell trouble for Washington. In spite of this, the…read more
