The Washington Redskins entered the 2019 draft looking to draft their quarterback of the future after Alex Smith suffered what many believe is a career-ending leg injury in 2018. Some draft prognosticators had the Redskins trading up with the Giants to take Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins. Instead, the Giants used that pick on Daniel Jones, and Haskins fell to Washington at 15th overall.
Haskins is thought to be the best pure passer in the 2019 draft after throwing for nearly 5000 yards and 50 touchdowns in 14 games with the Buckeyes. In addition to tossing just eight interceptions, Haskins completed 70% of his passes while leading Ohio State to a 13-1 record and a Rose Bowl victory over Washington.
The starting quarterback position is up in the air with Washington, as veterans Colt McCoy and Case Keenum will battle Haskins for the starting job Week 1. Haskins is the most talented of the three and possesses the biggest arm, but it may be smart of the Redskins coaching staff to ease him into action.
For fantasy purposes, the lack of clarity on who will be the opening day starter relegates Haskins to a wait and see player and a waiver wire pickup in all but the deepest of two-quarterback leagues.

Redskins fire head coach Jay Gruden
Bill Callahan takes over as interim coach
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Oct 7, 8:00 am
|  | The Washington Redskins dismissed their coach. They haven't solved their problems. Washington fired Jay Gruden, 52, on Monday morning and it's a hard decision to argue. The Redskins are 0-5 this season and haven't won a playoff game since 2005. Bill Callahan takes over as interim coach. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: The Redskins are a dumpster fire and while getting rid of the head coach may improve things, this organization needs and overhaul. It won't be a surprise to see Dwayne Haskins get some playing time moving forward as it's been reported that Gruden wasn't on board with the Haskins pick.
