Ricky Seals-Jones - Catches TD on only target Seals-Jones caught his lone target for a 19-yard touchdown in Thursday's 30-29 win over the Giants.
Impact The college wideout turned NFL tight end has bounced around the league the past few years, playing for Arizona, Cleveland, Kansas City and now Washington. His struggles to earn regular snaps aren't likely to end on a team with Logan Thomas at tight end, but Seals-Jones did show that he can still make big plays, outleaping a defender for a surprise fourth-quarter TD on Thursday. There is some potential for fantasy value if Thomas were to miss time, though in such a scenario Seal-Jones might be forced into a committee rather than taking over the starter's three-down role.

Notes & stats: Win streak vs. Washington ends Notes and statistics from the Giants’ 30-29 loss to the Washington Football Team in FedExField
SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • GIANTS.COM
Dyami Brown - Puts up 34 yards Brown caught three of six targets for 34 yards in Thursday's 30-29 win over the Giants.
Impact Brown finished fifth on the team in receiving and tied for fourth in targets, again working with Terry McLaurin and Adam Humphries as part of Washington's regular trio for three-wide sets. Curtis Samuel (groin) can return from IR as soon as Week 4, but while he eventually figures to take a lot of Brown's snaps, it isn't yet clear when Samuel will be ready. Washington does have Cam Sims as an option for perimeter snaps if Brown can't get going soon, but even if he isn't seeing many targets, the rookie's speed could be useful. He'll get a tough matchup next, traveling to Buffalo in Week 3.

Adam Humphries - Targeted eight times Humphries caught seven of eight targets for 44 yards in Thursday's 30-29 win over the Giants.
Impact Coming off an ugly, run-heavy loss to the Chargers the previous week, Washington displayed a far better passing attack Thursday evening, led by an 11-catch night from Terry McLaurin. Four other players, including Humphries, finished between six and eight targets, with QB Taylor Heinicke throwing for 336 yards and two TDs in his first regular-season start. Humphries is at 9-54-0 on 10 targets through two games, and he should maintain his slot role Week 3 at Buffalo. Reduced playing time could be coming when Curtis Samuel (groin) returns from IR, which technically can happen as soon as Week 4.
SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
J.D. McKissic - Shines in dramatic win McKissic caught five of six targets for 83 yards and took four carries for 10 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 30-29 win over the Giants.
Impact It was a huge turnaround after the pass-catching back got just one carry and one target in the Week 1 loss to Los Angeles. It initially looked like more of the same Thursday night, but McKissic was steadily involved once he got his first touch midway through the second quarter. He even scored a two-yard TD on a 3rd-and-1 shortly before halftime, and his 56-yard catch in the fourth quarter set up a TD strike to TE Ricky Seals-Jones on the next play. Meanwhile, Antonio Gibson had 13 carries for 69 yards and two catches for four yards, dropping off from 23 touches the previous week. Even after the impressive performance, McKissic remains a risky fantasy play heading into Week 3 at Buffalo.

Logan Thomas - Five-catch effort in win Thomas brought in five of seven targets for 45 yards in Washington's 30-29 win over the Giants on Thursday night.
Impact Thomas checked in third on the team in receptions, receiving yards and targets during the wild win, marking a second straight serviceable performance to open the season. Thomas had accounted for a touchdown on three catches in Washington's season-opening loss to the Chargers, and with a relatively inexperienced quarterback in Taylor Heinicke manning the controls of the offense for at least the next several games, the sure-handed tight end should continue to see his fair share of opportunities.
