Washington Football Team quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) is not expected to return this season. Fitzpatrick suffered a brutal hip injury in the first week of the season, and while there was optimism that he would be able to return at some point this year, it now appears that his season is unfortunately over. He'll spend the rest of the year rehabbing his injury and preparing for the 2022 season. Without Fitzpatrick's return, the Football Team will continue to lean on Taylor Heinicke at quarterback with Kyle Allen serving as the primary backup. Heinicke has a $6,900 salary on FanDuel and is projected for 15.1 fantasy points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week.

Washington Football Team quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) is still weeks away from returning, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Fitzpatrick was expected to miss six to eight weeks with a hip injury he suffered in Week 1's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Entering Week 8, it appears he will need more time than originally expected to recover. He is reportedly scheduled for an MRI in the coming weeks and the earliest he could return is in Week 10, but it is "not a certainty" that he makes it back into the field at all this season. Taylor Heinicke will remain the starter while Fitzpatrick continues to make his way back. Heinicke's Week 8 projection against the Denver Broncos includes 241.7 passing yards, 1.2 touchdowns, 1.1 interceptions, and 16.7 FanDuel points. His salary is $7,000.
