Dwayne Haskins, Terry McLaurin Fantasy Outlook After Redskins Bench Case Keenum

Washington finally made the move many fans have been clamoring for since the season began—they benched Case Keenum during Sunday's NFC East showdown against the New York Giants, turning to rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins.

The question for fantasy players is whether Haskins will be a viable starter for fantasy teams going forward. And how will he affect players like wide receiver Terry McLaurin?

The first question is a bit simpler to answer. In general, rookie quarterbacks are extremely risky fantasy options, especially if they don't offer major value on the ground like Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen did last season.
