Analysis ' Taylor Heinicke isn't going deep, and that could limit the length of his WFT starting stint After another uneven performance in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, Washington's Taylor Heinicke will have to dig deep — and go deep.
OCTOBER 18, 2021 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM
Jaret Patterson - Takes two touches Patterson took one carry for five yards and caught his lone target for a loss of two yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Patterson got three touches Week 4 and four more Week 5, but it was J.D. McKissic who picked up the slack Sunday with Antonio Gibson bothered by his shin at times. McKissic finished with eight carries for 45 yards and a team-high eight catches for 65 yards, while Gibson managed 10 carries for 44 yards and two catches for no gain. Patterson was a distant third, per usual, but he could split work with McKissic in Week 7 (at Green Bay) if Gibson is absent or limited.

John Bates - Records first NFL catch Bates caught his only target for a seven-yard gain in Sunday's 31-13 loss to Kansas City, registering his first regular-season NFL reception.
Impact The rookie fourth-round pick has seen just one target in two games since starting tight end Logan Thomas (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Ricky Seals-Jones has replaced Thomas in a three-down role, while Bates remains limited to blocking for the most part. He doesn't figure to see more than a target or two Week 7 at Green Bay.
OCTOBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Humphries - Finishes with negative yardage Humphries caught one of two targets for a four-yard loss in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Humphries is averaging just 2.5 catches for 24.8 yards per game, struggling to build chemistry with QB Taylor Heinicke. The veteran slot man could even be demoted from the No. 3 receiver role at some point, though perhaps not before Week 7 in Green Bay, given that Curtis Samuel (groin) is in danger of missing another game.

J.D. McKissic - Tops 100 total yards McKissic rushed the ball eight times for 45 yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to Kansas City. He added eight receptions for 65 yards.
Impact McKissic saw a season-high eight rushing attempts, in part because Antonio Gibson was battling both shin and calf injuries. Even with increased activity on the ground, McKissic did the majority of his damage as a receiver serving as a checkdown option for Taylor Heinicke. McKissic topped 100 total yards for the first time this season and has racked up multiple receptions in four of six contests. If Gibson is forced to miss time, McKissic would likely share the backfield with Jaret Patterson.
OCTOBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Taylor Heinicke - Struggles against KC Heinicke completed 24 of 39 pass attempts for 182 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 31-13 loss to Kansas City.
Impact Heinicke kept Washington in the game throughout the first half, completing 14 of his 25 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown. However, he and the offense stalled in the second half, and the end result was his lowest yardage total in a full game this season. After operating in a fairly efficient manner through three starts, Heinicke averaged only 4.7 yards per attempt in Sunday's game after picking up only 6.0 yards per attempt in Week 5. Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) reportedly has a chance to return in Week 7, which would almost certainly land Heinicke back on the bench.
OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ricky Seals-Jones - Tallies 39-yard touchdown Seals-Jones recorded four receptions on six targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Seals-Jones gave Washington a short-lived lead when he hauled in a 39-yard touchdown just before halftime. He tacked on an additional 14-yard reception, but he was otherwise limited to short gains. Through two weeks with Logan Thomas (hamstring) fully absent, Seals-Jones has combined to command 15 targets while hauling in nine receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown.
OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Terry McLaurin - Slowed in Week 6 McLaurin recorded four receptions on eight targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to Kansas City.
Impact McLaurin was questionable for the contest with a hamstring injury, and it's possible he was still bothered by the issue. Washington also failed to get any offense going, as Taylor Heinicke passed for just 182 yards and one touchdown. McLaurin has now been held quiet for consecutive games, though he has racked up 19 targets in that span. That provides some hope that he can rebound in Week 7 against the Packers.
