After finishing Week 7 with season lows for scrimmage yardage (35) and targets (three), Washington gets a tough Week 8 matchup against a New England defense that plays man coverage at the second-highest rate (37%) in the league. Washington has been targeted on just four of 31 routes (12.9% TPRR) against man coverage this year, compared to a 27.6% TPRR versus zone.

Washington's poor Week 7 and man-coverage weakness make Patriots matchup a fade.

Washington finished Week 7 with season lows in scrimmage yardage (35) and targets (3), and faces a New England defense that plays man coverage at the second-highest rate (37%) in the league. Washington has been targeted on just 12.9% of routes against man coverage this year versus 27.6% TPRR against zone, a significant disadvantage given his reliance on short, near-line-of-scrimmage targets (aDOT of 10.2) with minimal downfield success.
