Washington Redskins DST

Player Outlook
The Commanders averaged just the 24th-most Fantasy points per game in their first season under Dan Quinn. With a reputation for a very aggressive defensive scheme, Quinn sent pressure often but was held back by his personnel. The Commanders have since drafted Trey Amos to help their secondary, but they also lost Dante Fowler from their pass rush. There are much better options to consider on draft day than the Commanders DST.

Fantasy News

  • Daryl Worley: Cut by Washington

    Rotowire
    Worley was released by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports. Worley played in two preseason contests with Washington, recording eight total tackles (three solo) while also adding a forced fumble. The safety played in nine regular-season games with the Titans in 2024, and he likely won't have to wait long for another suitor.

  • Clelin Ferrell: Cut loose by Washington

    Rotowire
    Ferrell was released by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports. Ferrell appeared in all three preseason contests with Washington, compiling four total tackles (two solo) and a pass defensed. The defensive lineman recorded 26 total tackles (11 solo), including 3.5 sacks, while also adding a forced fumble over 14 regular-season contests with the Commanders in 2024. Ferrell will now look for another opportunity elsewhere, potentially even with an active roster.

  • Commanders' Trey Amos: Returns to action

    Rotowire
    Amos (hamstring) played 14 defensive snaps in Saturday's 30-3 preseason loss to the Ravens. Amos was nursing a tight hamstring at practice throughout the week after missing the team's preseason matchup with the Bengals on Aug. 18. His return to action signals that he's a full go ahead of Washington's regular season opener with the Giants on Sept. 7.

  • Kevon Seymour: Let go by Washington

    Rotowire
    The Commanders released Seymour (undisclosed) from injured reserve with a settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Seymour's time in Washington has come to an end after having signed with the team in March. The 31-year-old will attempt to get healthy and catch on with another team.

  • Commanders' Trey Amos: Managing tight hamstring

    Rotowire
    Amos didn't play in Monday's preseason game against Cincinnati due to a tight hamstring, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports. Head coach Dan Quinn said after Monday's contest that Amos would have played if it were a regular-season matchup, so it sounds like the rookie cornerback isn't dealing with a significant issue. At this point Amos' hamstring injury doesn't appear likely to keep him from being ready for Week 1, though his status for Washington's final preseason game -- which will take place Saturday against Baltimore -- is unclear.

  • Viliami Fehoko: Agrees to injury settlement

    Rotowire
    The Commanders waived Fehoko (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Fehoko had been waived/injured Aug. 11 and reverted to IR a day later. Since he was able to agree to an injury settlement, Fehoko is eligible to play in 2025 if he gets healthy and finds work elsewhere.

  • Commanders' Daryl Worley: Signs with Commanders

    Rotowire
    Worley signed with the Commanders on Thursday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official team site reports. Worley will be suiting up for his ninth team, adding a veteran presence to Washington's training camp roster. The 30-year-old has appeared in 99 regular-season games (64 starts) and spent last season with Tennessee, where he tallied 52 tackles and one interception. He will look to crack yet another 53-man roster in what will be a shortened training camp and preseason.

    Rotowire
    Fehoko (undisclosed) reverted to Washington's injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

  • Commanders' Essang Bassey: Latches on with Washington

    Rotowire
    The Commanders signed Bassey on Monday. Bassey will join the Commanders prior to the team's upcoming preseason matchup with the Bengals next Monday. The cornerback will help fill the void in Washington's secondary created by Kevon Seymour's (undisclosed) placement on injured reserve Monday.

    Rotowire
    Hamilton and the Commanders agreed on a contract Monday. Hamilton will join the Commanders ahead of the team's second preseason contest Aug. 18 versus the Bengals.

  • Commanders' Kevon Seymour: Placed on IR

    Rotowire
    Seymour (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/injured list Monday. Seymour appears to have suffered a season-ending injury in the last couple days, though the exact issue is currently unknown. The cornerback will now shift his focus to rehabbing the injury in an attempt to being ready for training camp in 2026.

  • Dominique Hampton: Let go by Washington

    Rotowire
    Hampton was waived by the Commanders on Monday. Hampton recorded five total tackles (two solo) in Friday's 48-18 preseason loss to the Patriots, but he will now be looking for a new opportunity elsewhere. The linebacker appeared in one regular-season game with the Commanders in 2024, failing to record any stats while playing six special-teams snaps. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, it's certainly possible that Hampton sticks around Washington as a member of the team's practice squad.

    Rotowire
    Hamilton (quadriceps) worked out for the Commanders on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Hamilton injured his quad in Week 16 last season while with the Falcons and finished out the 2024 campaign on injured reserve. Now healthy, the 32-year-old is looking for a new opportunity ahead of the 2025 season. He has 109 regular-season games of NFL experience.

  • Commanders' Duke Riley: Lands in Washington

    Rotowire
    The Commanders are signing Riley to a contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Riley suited up for all 17 regular-season games with Miami in 2024 but he only handled 42 defensive snaps in that span. He'll compete for a depth role on defense with Washington, but the bulk of his contributions will figure to come on special teams, if he manages to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

  • Commanders' Jordan Magee: Full go in camp

    Rotowire
    Magee is healthy and participating in training camp, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports. Magee suffered a knee injury during the team's first preseason contest last year, which ultimately required a stint on injured reserve. Magee did end up returning midway through the season but was used almost exclusively on special teams. Now heading into his second season, the 2024 fifth-round pick is looking to prove himself and find a role on the 53-man roster.

  • Commanders' Tyler Owens: Participates in practice

    Rotowire
    Owens (ankle) took first-team reps in training camp last week, Hayley Salvatore of Commanders.com reports. Owens ended the 2024 season on injured reserve with an ankle injury suffered in Week 16. His high-level play on special teams last season has earned him an expanded role on defense, but to what degree remains to seen. The 24-year-old could be in position to start at safety following Jeremy Chinn's departure this offseason.

  • Commanders' Daron Payne: Assuming leadership role at OTAs

    Rotowire
    Payne (knee/finger) has been participating in OTAs, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports. Payne was unable to participate in Washington's NFC Championship Game loss to the Eagles, but he has recovered from his injuries ahead of the 2025 campaign. The defensive tackle has drawn praise from Washington's coaching staff for his leadership in the offseason, and Payne projects to be an important piece of the defense after recording 4.0 sacks in the 2024 regular season.
