Limited by injury in 2018
Crowder finished the 2018 campaign with 29 catches for 388 yards and two touchdowns on 49 targets in nine games.
Analysis: The 2015 fourth-round pick played 15 or 16 games in each of his first three seasons, catching 59, 67 and 66 passes while primarily working the slot. His role didn't change in 2018, but he struggled to find chemistry with Alex Smith (leg) early in the season, then missed seven consecutive games with an ankle injury. By the time Crowder made it back into the lineup, Colt McCoy (leg) had taken over at quarterback, soon to be followed by Mark Sanchez and eventually Josh Johnson. Now scheduled to…read more

Logs full practice Thursday
Crowder (wrist) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: Crowder quickly ditched a wrist injury that capped his practice reps Wednesday. With the issue behind him, he can take aim at an Eagles defense that has given up 8.4 YPT and 17 touchdowns to wide receivers this season.

Hindered by wrist injury
Crowder was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a wrist injury, Les Carpenter of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Crowder spent the meat of the 2018 campaign in recovery mode as a result of an ankle issue, but the fourth-year wide receiver has connected with whoever has been under center for the Redskins the past four games, hauling in 15 of his 22 targets for 247 yards and one touchdown. Assuming he's active Sunday against the Eagles, he should serve as Josh Johnson's No. 1 option with Jordan Reed (foot) a long shot to play and Maurice Harris and Vernon Davis both embedded in the concussion protocol.

Leads team in receiving
Crowder had five catches (seven targets) for 78 yards in Saturday's 25-16 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Crowder continues to be Josh Johnson's favorite target, resulting in two fantasy-relevant stat lines in the three games with the Redskins' recent quarterback. The 25-year-old has proven to be a reliable PPR option over the previous three seasons, but Johnson's inaccurate arm makes Crowder a risky play against the Eagles, even with the recent uptick in production and soft matchup.

Sets up TD with key conversion
Crowder caught four of six targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Crowder was easily Washington's top receiver, as none of his teammates eclipsed 20 receiving yards. His 33-yard reception on third-and-15 helped set up Jeremy Sprinkle's game-tying touchdown reception. The entire Redskins passing game will likely remain limited against the Titans in Week 16 with Josh Johnson under center, but Crowder is the best fantasy pick of the bunch.

Returns to full practice
Crowder (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Crowder's return to full activity should clear up any lingering concern that he may have suffered a setback with the ankle injury that sidelined him for seven games before he suited up in the last two contests. The wideout caught two of seven targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in the Week 14 loss to the Giants and could draw more volume in the passing game Sunday in Jacksonville with top tight end Jordan Reed (toe) and fellow starting receiver Josh Doctson (concussion) both seemingly trending…read more

Battling ankle issue again
Crowder (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Crowder may have suffered a minor aggravation to his ankle during Sunday's 40-16 loss to the Giants. He caught two of seven targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in his second game back from a lengthy absence due to the same injury, turning a short pass into a 79-yard score in garbage time. Assuming he continues to practice in some capacity, Crowder should be fine for a difficult matchup at Jacksonville in Week 15, working with Josh Johnson as the starting quarterback.

Salvages day with 79-yard score
Crowder caught two of seven targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-16 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Crowder was on his way to a dud until he took a Josh Johnson pass all the way for a 79-yard touchdown thanks in large part to some sloppy Giants defense. Johnson looked good after entering the game with Washington trailing 40-0, and he's already been named the starter for Week 15 in Jacksonville, which is probably good news for Crowder given how poorly Mark Sanchez played in helping to dig Washington's 40-0 hole.

Makes little impact in return
Crowder (ankle) played 29 of the Redskins' 45 offensive snaps (64 percent) in Monday's 28-13 loss to the Eagles, hauling in all four of his targets for 36 yards. He also lost five yards on his lone carry.
Analysis: Making his first appearance since Week 5, Crowder started alongside Josh Doctson and Maurice Harris and finished second on the team in receiving yardage. Crowder's output was still rather uninspiring, which speaks to the weak state of a Washington passing game that is now down to its third-string signal-caller (Mark Sanchez) after starter Colt McCoy suffered a fractured fibula in the contest. With Sanchez directing the offense in Week 14 against the Giants and likely for additional games to…read more

Returns from seven-game absence
Crowder (ankle) is active for Monday's game in Philadelphia.
Analysis: After practicing in pads and running routes throughout the week, Crowder showed he was trending toward his first game action since Week 5. He could take over the slot receiver role entirely with Trey Quinn tending to an ankle injury, which required the use of a walking boot Sunday. Despite the lack of clarity surrounding his workload, Crowder will look to exploit an Eagles defense that has given up 200.7 receiving yards per game and 13 total touchdowns to wideouts in 11 outings this season.

In line to return Monday
Crowder (ankle) is expected to return Monday at Philadelphia,. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: There were positive signs all week that a return was possible for Crowder, including working in pads and running routes at practice. He maintained limited sessions Thursday through Saturday and eventually was deemed questionable for Monday's divisional showdown. Assuming he's active, Crowder should see plenty of reps in the slot, though he may share some of the workload with rookie Trey Quinn.

Listed as questionable
Crowder (ankle) is questionable on the Redskins' preliminary injury report for Monday's game against the Eagles.
Analysis: The Redskins are holding practice Saturday night, so it remains to be seen whether Crowder progresses beyond his limited participation the rest of the week. The 25-year-old struggled with only 13 receptions for 134 yards and a touchdown in four games prior to suffering the ankle injury in early October. Crowder's chances for returning from a seven-game absence continue to be up in the air.

Gets in another limited session
Crowder (ankle) remained a limited participant at practice Friday.
Analysis: Crowder is hopeful he can return from a seven-game absence Monday against the Eagles, but he acknowledged Thursday that it's no sure thing. A full practice session Saturday would provide real reason for confidence, though there isn't much upside in saving a spot in fantasy lineups for Crowder even if he's cleared to play. He posted 13 receptions for 134 and a touchdown across four games prior to suffering the ankle injury Oct. 8.

Practices on limited basis
Crowder (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: On the field for a second straight day, Crowder performed cuts while running routes Thursday, according to John Keim of ESPN.com. The pain in Crowder's ankle is more manageable than previous weeks, but as the wide receiver told the Redskins' official site, he's "taking it day by day right now." Whenever he gains clearance to return, Crowder, who primarily plays the slot, could move about the formation more with rookie slot receiver Trey Quinn (ankle) back from IR the last two games.

Analysis: The Redskins officially kicked off Week 13 prep Thursday, and Crowder is on the field for the second day in a row. Among his routes, he performed a hard cut, after which he didn't appear to feel good, per John Keim of ESPN.com. While Crowder is taking steps toward a return to action, he may have to get through the week unscathed to suit up Monday at Philadelphia,

Spotted in pads
Crowder (ankle) went through individual drills in pads Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Limited to rehab work the past few weeks, Crowder finally seems to be taking a major step forward as the Redskins prepare for a crucial game against the Eagles in Week 13. With the divisional battle taking place Monday night, the Redskins won't reveal their first injury report of the week until Thursday. It sounds like he's headed for a "limited" tag, which would mark his first participation in practice of any kind since Nov. 9.

Limited to rehab work
Crowder (ankle) was limited to working out on the side with the training staff during Monday's practice, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Crowder was listed as questionable ahead of last week's eventual loss to Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, despite failing to log any level of practice participation beforehand. He unsurprisingly ended up missing a seventh consecutive game, and the early signs point to another absence when the Redskins face the Eagles on Monday Night Football in Week 13. The fourth-year receiver still has some time to return to practice, potentially benefiting from the long layover between games. Another missed…read more

Sidelined again Thursday
Crowder (ankle) is inactive for Thursday's game in Dallas.
Analysis: Missing his sixth consecutive contest due to an ankle injury, Crowder will have ample time to ramp up his conditioning for the Redskins' next game Monday, Dec. 3 versus the Eagles. His absence will allow rookie wide receiver Trey Quinn to operate in the slot yet again.

Questionable, despite no practice
Crowder (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Dallas, Jake Kring-Schreifels of the Redskins' official site reports.
Analysis: Given that he was listed as a non-participant on the practice report every day this week, Crowder isn't a good bet to end his streak of six consecutive absences. However, the decision to list him as questionable may at least be a sign of progress, considering he was ruled out last Friday ahead of Sunday's loss to Houston. The Redskins likely will use Trey Quinn in the slot for the Thanksgiving Day game.

Missing from practice
Crowder (ankle) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Since injuring his ankle in the Week 5 loss to the Saints, Crowder has practiced only two times, both of which were limited sessions Nov. 8 and 9. The receiver was at least able to work out with trainers on the side Tuesday, according to John Keim of ESPN.com, but since Crowder has yet to join his teammates for on-field work since the aforementioned dates, he's likely on track for a seventh straight absence Thursday in Dallas.

Crowder (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.
Analysis: Crowder hasn't taken the practice field since an MRI last week revealed lingering "issues" in his ankle. With the Redskins exercising caution with his recovery to this point, he seems poised to miss a seventh game in a row Thursday at Dallas. The current healthy members of the wide receiver corps are Josh Doctson, Maurice Harris, Trey Quinn and Michael Floyd.

Ruled out for sixth straight week
Crowder (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: This was expected after an MRI earlier in the week revealed lingering issues with the slot receiver's ankle. Crowder will sit out for a sixth straight game, but the Redskins still seem to be optimistic about his injury eventually healing with rest. Jordan Reed, Josh Doctson and Maurice Harris are the best bets to draw targets from Alex Smith on Sunday.

Analysis: All signs point toward a sixth consecutive absence after an MRI earlier this week revealed lingering issues with Crowder's ankle. It's fair to begin wondering if Crowder might need surgery to correct the problem.

Still has 'some issues' with ankle
Coach Jay Gruden said the recent MRI of Crowder's ankle revealed "some issues in there," Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Crowder has missed five consecutive games due to an ankle injury and has yet to return to full health. In addition to his comment regarding the MRI, Gruden told Les Carpenter of The Washington Post that he Crowder "needs a little more time." Crowder isn't expected to practice until Thursday -- at the earliest -- this week, but Gruden's thoughts don't exactly inspire confidence that the wide receiver will be able to play Sunday against the Texans.

Crowder (ankle) is scheduled for an MRI this week and isn't expected to practice any sooner than Thursday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Crowder managed a pair of limited practices last week and was initially deemed "questionable" on the injury report, but he was then downgraded to "out" approximately 24 hours before the opening kickoff of Sunday's eventual 16-3 win over Tampa Bay.

Downgraded to out
Crowder (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Crowder managed to practice in limited fashion Thursday and Friday, the first time he's been able to do so since Week 5. Evidently, the activity wasn't enough for the Redskins to sign off on the wideout returning to action this weekend. With Crowder sidelined for another contest, look for Maurice Harris to act as Washington's primary slot man after recording 10 catches for 124 yards in the Week 9 loss to the Falcons. Michael Floyd could also see a slight uptick in snaps in three-wideout sets.

He seems to have also been limited at Friday's practice, but coach Jay Gruden said the slot receiver took a step forward in terms of activity level.

Analysis: Among Richardson's injuries, the Redskins seem to be more worried about his shoulder in the long term. On Friday, coach Jay Gruden told Copeland that Richardson may have his shoulder examined in the offseason, suggesting surgery is a possibility. Such a decision is still months away, though. In the near term, Richardson will look to exploit an Atlanta defense that has allowed 9.3 YPT and 12 touchdowns to wide receivers in seven outings this season.

Analysis: As expected, Crowder didn't practice at all this week and has now been ruled out for a third straight game. It does seem the Redskins stand a decent chance to get Paul Richardson (shoulder/knee) and Chris Thompson (rib/knee) back in the lineup, potentially giving Alex Smith the closest thing he's had to a healthy supporting cast since Week 5.

Analysis: After failing to practice for a second day in a row Thursday, as expected, Crowder doesn't seem like a great bet to suit up Sunday versus the Cowboys. Another absence Friday likely would confirm that notion, but at least he has one more chance to prove the health of his ankle. In the end, though, coach Jay Gruden has called Crowder "iffy" all week, according to Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post.

Crowder (ankle) won't participate in Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Crowder's absence was expected after coach Jay Gruden previously suggested that the wideout would be withheld from the first two practice sessions of the week and was "iffy" for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. As such, Crowder's involvement in Friday's practice (or lack thereof) will prove most telling with regard to his Week 7 status. Crowder previously sat out the Redskins' Week 6 win over the Panthers with the injury, so he may need to log a full session Friday to avoid a designation…read more

Deemed 'iffy' for Sunday
Coach Jay Gruden called Crowder (ankle) "iffy" for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Crowder didn't take part in practice Wednesday, which Gruden indicated would be the case back on Monday. During his post-practice media session, Gruden told Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic that Crowder wouldn't return to the field until Friday, at the earliest. Before he attempts to prove the health of his ankle, Crowder will remain embedded with the Redskins' rehab group.

Won't practice until Friday, at earliest
Coach Jay Gruden said Monday that Crowder (ankle) won't take the practice field until Friday at the earliest, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Crowder didn't progress beyond rehab of his ankle last week and appears as if he'll have the same regimen until the end of the current one. Gruden's comment indicates Crowder may have to get through Friday's session without issue before he's considered a candidate to play Sunday against the Cowboys.

Unavailable Week 6
Crowder (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Panthers.
Analysis: Crowder's ankle clearly didn't pass the sniff test of the Redskins' training staff in pregame warmups. With both Crowder and running back Chris Thompson (rib/knee) unavailable to Alex Smith, there should be plenty of targets up for grabs for the likes of Paul Richardson, Josh Doctson and Jordan Reed in Week 6.

Not expected to play Sunday
Crowder (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, isn't expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Both Crowder and pass-catching back Chris Thompson (rib/knee) are expected to be sidelined Sunday, depriving the Redskins of two of their top targets in the passing game. In addition, Josh Doctson (heel) and Paul Richardson (shoulder/knee) are expected to be game-time decisions, so Washington could have some new contributors at receiver this week. Maurice Harris would be first in line to enter the starting lineup if Crowder is in fact ruled out.

Headed for game-time call
Crowder (ankle) will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Panthers, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Crowder worked with the training staff on a side field during Friday's practice, with coach Jay Gruden commenting afterward that he still needs to see the slot receiver run before a final decision is made. That doesn't sound especially promising, but we probably won't know for sure until Washington releases its inactive list around 11:30 AM ET on Sunday. With Paul Richardson (shoulder/knee) and Josh Doctson (heel) also listed as questionable, the team may need to rely on Maurice Harris and…read more

Limited to work with trainers
Crowder (ankle) is working off to the side with the training staff during Friday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Listed as a non-participant the past two days, Crowder will be no better than 'limited' when Washington releases the final injury report for Sunday's game against the Panthers. With Paul Richardson (knee/shoulder) also uncertain to play, No. 4 wideout Maurice Harris could find himself handling a major role. Josh Doctson (heel) would also stand to benefit from a Crowder or Richardson absence, assuming his own injury checks out okay. Another update will be available Friday afternoon when the…read more

No practice Thursday
Crowder (ankle) was held out of practice Thursday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: During media availability Thursday, coach Jay Gruden said Crowder injured the ankle during Monday's loss at New Orleans. Still swollen, Crowder's ankle hasn't allowed him to practice this week, but Gruden does consider him "day-to-day." Fellow wideout Paul Richardson (knee/shoulder) is in the same boat as Crowder -- sidelined the past two days -- leaving the receiving corps in flux just days away from a Week 6 matchup with the Panthers.

Not practicing Thursday
Crowder (ankle) wasn't participating in the portion of Thursday's practice that was available to the media, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Crowder was also listed as a non-participant Wednesday, but that practice report was merely an estimated one with the Redskins opting for a walk-through session. In any case, Crowder's absence from the Redskins' first full-pad session of the week is somewhat concerning, as he'll now have just one more practice to prove his health heading into Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

Crowder (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Redskins merely held a walk-through session, but coach Jay Gruden said Crowder and fellow wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee) wouldn't have participated if Wednesday's session included individual and team drills. Consequently, the health of the pair will be watched closely as the weekend draws closer.

Catches four passes
Crowder caught four of eight passes for 55 yards in Monday night's 43-19 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Crowder led the Redskins in receiving yards and no player was targeted more by quarterback Alex Smith. While that comes as good news, and Monday also marked the first time Crowder has topped 40 yards this season, his modest totals thus far have evidenced a Washington offense lacking perimeter playmakers.

Gets first TD of season
Crowder took one carry for six yards and caught each of his four targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Packers
Analysis: Alex Smith attempted just 20 passes in a comfortable win, with Jordan Reed accounting for seven targets and Crowder the only other player to draw more than two. With Reed managing to stay healthy and the Washington offense displaying an unexpected degree of balance, preseason expectations for Crowder's volume need to be adjusted. He's drawn just four targets in each of the team's three games, a massive drop-off from last year's 6.9 per contest. He'll now head into his bye week with a first-rate…read more

Held to two catches
Crowder caught two of four targets for eight yards and took two carries for 29 yards in Sunday's 21-9 loss to Indianapolis.
Analysis: The only positive was an uptick in play volume, with Crowder's snap share jumping from 62 percent Week 1 all the way to 93 percent Week 2. He nonetheless finished fifth on the team in targets and sixth in receptions, with RB Chris Thompson and TE Jordan Reed doing the heavy lifting -- 19 combined receptions -- for a second time in as many weeks. It'll be hard to trust any Washington wide receiver in a Week 3 home game against the Packers.

Starts season quiet
Crowder caught three of four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Washington jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the second quarter, allowing Adrian Peterson to pile up 26 rush attempts while Alex Smith attempted just 30 passes. Crowder's volume was disappointing nonetheless, with Chris Thompson (seven targets), Paul Richardson (six) and Jordan Reed (five) all getting more looks. The 25-year-old slot receiver should be a bit busier against a soft Indianapolis secondary Week 2, though it's another matchup that could favor rushing volume over passing volume for the…read more

Ready for Week 1
Crowder (groin) wasn't listed on the Redskins' Week 1 injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Crowder didn't play during the preseason due to a groin injury, but a focus on recovery has helped him get back to full health in time for the regular-season opener Sunday in Arizona. With Alex Smith stepping in for Kirk Cousins under center, it remains to be seen where Crowder will stand in the pecking order for targets, but the durability he's demonstrated over his first three seasons in the NFL should keep him in the mix along with Jordan Reed, Paul Richardson and Chris Thompson.

Analysis: Despite returning to practice this past weekend, Crowder was held out for the third time in as many preseason games. He does still seem to be on track for Week 1 in Arizona, considering he was healthy enough to take part in pregame warmups Friday night, per ESPN.com's John Keim.

Crowder (groin) returned to practice over the weekend, Rich Tandler of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Crowder missed the first two weeks of the preseason, but he seems to be on track to play in Friday's exhibition against the Broncos. It would be his first chance to work with new quarterback Alex Smith in a game after Crowder caught passes from Kirk Cousins each of the past three years. There hasn't been anything to suggest that Crowder's groin injury is anything that will impact his snap counts once the regular season begins.

Misses preseason contest
Crowder (groin) didn't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Jets.
Analysis: Crowder was also held out for the first week of the preseason, but there's been nothing to suggest he's dealing with a long-term injury. Given that he has the least to prove among Washington's pass catchers, some missed time during training camp and the preseason isn't a huge concern. He's locked in as the slot man in three-receiver formations, with the potential to get playing time outside in two-wide sets.

Dealing with groin injury
Crowder will be held out of Thursday's preseason game in New England due to a groin injury, Kimberley A. Martin of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Crowder has been a modicum of health in three pro seasons, missing only one game (Week 9 in 2017) with a hamstring concern. Prior to Martin divulging that Crowder was tending to a groin issue, there had been no reason given for the upcoming DNP, so his health will be one to watch in the coming weeks. Aside from Jordan Reed (when healthy) and DeSean Jackson in 2016, Crowder was a consistent target for the departed Kirk Cousins since the wide receiver was drafted in the fourth round in 2015.

Won't play Thursday
Crowder won't play in Thursday's preseason opener against New England, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With no injury reported so far in training camp, Crowder likely is just being held out to minimize the risk of injury while also allowing other wide receivers to get more playing time. He already has three full seasons of experience in coach Jay Gruden's scheme, without any competition for playing time in the slot. There is reason to question how much playing time Crowder will get in two-wide formations, after his snap share landed between 69 and 74 percent in each of his first three NFL…read more

Standing out at camp
Crowder and Alex Smith have shown a strong connection through five days of training camp, Jake Kring-Schreifels of Redskins.com reports.
Analysis: Smith was quick to praise Crowder after June minicamp, noting that the slot receiver makes things easy on his quarterback. The chemistry only seems to keep growing, with Crowder gobbling up a plethora of short and intermediate passes while TE Jordan Reed (toe) and RB Chris Thompson (leg) work their way back for major injuries. Heading into the final season of his rookie contract, Crowder is well positioned to lead the Redskins in targets and a good bet to improve on his career mark of 4.1…read more

Crowder has already made a strong impression on new quarterback Alex Smith, ESPN.com's John Keim reports. "[Crowder]'s so easy to read," Smith said. "Such great body control, body language. He sees defenses well and it's hardest to do that in between the hashes. You get so many looks and leverages and you have to handle all those things. He's decisive and he's so friendly. He's always coming back to the ball, always working for you."
Analysis: The 25-year-old slot receiver put up solid marks of 12.0 yards per catch and 7.6 yards per target in 2017, despite dealing with a nagging hamstring injury from the beginning of training camp through December. He's had a healthy offseason heading into the final year of his rookie contract, and he might actually enjoy the switch from Kirk Cousins to Smith, whose 102.8 passer rating on throws to slot receivers over the last five years ranks third in the NFL (min. 30 starts) over that period.

Crowder has been working on his explosiveness with the Duke University strength and conditioning staff, preparing to join the Redskins for offseason workouts in mid-April, Steve Wiseman of The News & Observer reports. "Personally, I still think there's a lot that I can accomplish here," said Crowder. "That's why I've been here working, grinding with coach [Noel] Durfey and the sprint staff. I've been working running routes, getting back into the groove of things before we start OTAs."
Analysis: A 2015 fourth-round pick, Crowder likely is hoping for a contract extension as he prepares for the final season on his rookie deal. He only scored three times in 15 games last season while noticing a slight dip from 2016 in catch rate (63.5 percent), yards per reception (12.0) and yards per target (7.6), though all of those numbers are above average for a receiver who primarily operates from the slot.

Crowder, who hauled in three of his seven targets for 25 yards in Week 17's loss to the Giants, ended the season with 66 receptions for 789 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games.
Analysis: Crowder burst onto the scene in 2016 as a dynamic scoring threat for Washington, reaching the end zone seven times last season. While his reception totals were almost identical -- 67 receptions in 2016 -- Crowder failed to find the end zone as often this year and didn't make the fantasy leap that many were projecting for him at the beginning of the season. Still, Crowder managed some outstanding weekly performances, recording over 120 receiving yards in two games. The offseason provides another…read more

Crowder (hamstring) corralled all four of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-11 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Perhaps as a means of limiting Crowder's workload while managing the hamstring issue, the Redskins only allowed the wideout to play 31 offensive snaps, his fewest of the season. The lightened snap count didn't prevent Crowder from reaching the end zone for the second time in as many games, however, allowing the 24-year-old to pay dividends for those that kept him active in the fantasy playoffs.

Crowder (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the Broncos.
Analysis: Crowder has tended to hamstring concerns since he reported to training camp, but it won't stop him from taking the field for the 14th time in 15 chances this season. Unfortunately for Crowder, he likely will be lined up with slot corner Chris Harris for most of the contest, which could cause his catch rate in a given game to fall below 50 percent for the first time since Week 10.

Analysis: Crowder was a limited participant at every practice this week, making his first appearance on the injury report since November. He's been bothered by his hamstring at various points this season, most notably back in Week 9 when he missed a game. Crowder has gone over 50 yards in six of his past seven appearances, but there's reason for skepticism if he'll be playing at less than 100 percent while primarily facing Denver's Chris Harris, arguably the best slot corner in the NFL.

Crowder (hamstring) was limited on Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: Crowder has endured a number of bouts with his hamstring in the last half of 2017, namely during training camp, early in the preseason, in late September into early October and the first half of November. Despite the bumpy road, he's missed just one game this season, leading the team in every receiving category but touchdowns. Gaining clearance to play this weekend wouldn't be a boon, though, with the Broncos' second-ranked pass defense on tap Week 16.

Crowder caught five of seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-15 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Crowder got the scoring started with a five-yard touchdown just 1:30 into the first quarter and finished as his team's leading receiver. The third-year slot man out of Duke has been phenomenal over the past seven weeks after a slow start to the season, averaging 81.1 receiving yards per game. Both of his trips to the end zone have come in the past four weeks.

Crowder brought in three of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Chargers. He also returned three punts for 15 yards.
Analysis: Crowder mirrored fellow wideout Josh Doctson's stat line in a lackluster afternoon for the Redskins' offense. The 24-year-old had been riding a highly productive five-game stretch coming into Sunday in which he posted 32 receptions for 479 yards and a touchdown. Therefore, while the sudden downturn was particularly ill-timed -- considering it comes in the heart of the fantasy postseason -- Crowder has shown a much higher ceiling and will look to bounce back against the Cardinals in Week 15.

Crowder hauled in seven receptions on ten targets totaling 141-yards including one touchdown in Thursday's 20-10 Thanksgiving victory over the Giants
Analysis: Crowder was the only player on both teams to reach the 100-yard marker in either rushing or receiving, as offense was at a premium for much of the evening. His trip to the end zone was somewhat surprisingly his first of the season. The 24-year-old pass-catcher briefly exited the game during the fourth quarter due to a knee injury, but quickly returned to record a crucial third-down conversion. He will look to carry his momentum into next Thursday's contest versus the Cowboys.

Says he's doing better
Crowder (hamstring) said he's feeling better this week after he returned to a limited practice Wednesday, ESPN.com's John Keim reports.
Analysis: Crowder was listed as a non-participant for every practice last week, but he did get in some agility work with athletic trainers, which inspired the Redskins to wait until Saturday to rule him out for Sunday's eventual 16-14 win over Seattle. The wide receiver seems to be a tick ahead of tight end Jordan Reed, who also missed practice last week and returned in a limited capacity Wednesday. Both players figure to be listed as questionable, at best, for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Out for Sunday
Crowder (hamstring) was downgraded to out for Sunday's game against Seattle.
Analysis: With Crowder out, Ryan Grant appears the best candidate to take the slot snaps when Washington is in three-receiver sets. It also just might open up the possibility of Terrelle Pryor and Josh Doctson playing at the same time in three-receiver formations. None of the Washington wideouts is likely to find much success against Seattle's corners, but Grant may have the easiest looks when he stays away from Richard Sherman and Shaq Griffin.

Lacks confidence in hammy
Crowder (hamstring) admitted Friday that his injury has a major impact on his explosiveness, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. "It's kind of tricky," said Crowder. "It feels good at times and then I go out and work and it doesn't feel like bad, but it doesn't feel I can be as explosive to [where] I feel I can go out and compete at a high level."
Analysis: Per Keim, Crowder also expressed concern that playing in Sunday's game against Seattle could cause his injury to linger for the rest of the season. He didn't practice at all this week and his comments strongly hint toward an impending absence, but the Redskins still want to see him work out Saturday before making a final decision. Crowder is listed as questionable on the final injury report, with Ryan Grant, Josh Doctson and Terrelle Pryor all candidates to pick up some extra snaps in the event…read more

Listed as questionable
Crowder (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, with the Redskins expecting to make a final decision on his status before their flight to Seattle, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Crowder hasn't practiced all week and he previously dealt with a hamstring injury throughout much of August and September. While both factors point in the direction of a Week 9 absence, the Redskins apparently want to give him a look Saturday before making a final decision. With tight end Jordan Reed (hamstring) already ruled out, quarterback Kirk Cousins could badly use Crowder's assistance against a tough Seattle defense. Should Crowder end up sitting, the Redskins likely would give Ryan…read more

Crowder (hamstring) didn't participate in the portion of Friday's practice available to the media, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Crowder was spotted going through his own workout on a side field, but unless he gets in some reps with the rest of the team during the closed portion of Friday's session, it's looking increasingly likely that he'll miss Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Redskins head coach Jay Gruden should offer an official word later Friday regarding the status of Crowder, who broke out for a season-high nine receptions and 123 yards in the Week 8 loss to the Cowboys.

Held out of second straight practice
Crowder (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: With Crowder missing back-to-back practices to begin the week, Redskins head coach Jay Gruden indicated he was "concerned" about the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, according to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports. Crowder's potential absence would be especially frustrating for fantasy owners after the receiver emerged from his season-long slumber to reel in nine passes for 123 yards -- both season highs -- in the team's Week 8 loss to the Cowboys.

Misses practice with hammy issue
Crowder was held out of Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, the Redskins' official website reports.
Analysis: Crowder looked perfectly healthy in Sunday's 33-19 loss to the Cowboys, catching nine of 13 targets for 123 yards and adding two carries for 12 more yards. While there hasn't been anything to suggest the injury is serious, it's a bit worrisome given that Crowder was bothered by a hamstring ailment throughout much of August and September. He's yet to miss a game this year, and his 95 percent snap share in Week 8 was his highest mark of the season. If he's healthy enough to play, Crowder should…read more

Crowder wasn't in uniform at the start of Wednesday's practice, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Crowder matched career highs with nine receptions on 13 targets Sunday against the Cowboys, and with the help of 41- and 26-yard connections with Kirk Cousins, the wideout reached a career-best 123 receiving yards. In two-plus seasons, Crowder hasn't missed a game, so the lack of activity Wednesday could be maintenance-related. Expect his status to be clarified when the Redskins release their first Week 9 injury report later Wednesday.
