Young might return to practice next week

ESPN's John Keim reports that Commanders EDGE Chase Young will see Dr. James Andrews on Sunday. "If all goes well, he'll practice next week and then they can determine if he'll return vs. Indy or the following week," Keim adds. It's obviously positive that Young might get back onto the field soon. It's also worth remembering that Washington has played it cautious through nearly half of this season with a 23-year-old cornerstone player who went down in Week 10 of last year. Whenever Young does return to game action, we'll bet on controlled early workloads. It's possible he gets back near full strength over the 2nd half of this year. It's also possible, however, that we get no more than a limited version of Young this season. His talent is worth stashing in deeper IDP leagues, but don't consider Young a "must" add across IDP formats. Keep in mind that Young ranked outside the top 50 fantasy D-linemen in points per game last year. He ranked just 40th in Pro Football Focus pass-rushing grade among edge players with 200+ snaps.
