Captain’s Picks

Dwayne Haskins, QB, Washington ($15,900)

Haskins has been impressive in Madden simulations. He’s thrown multiple touchdown passes in three of his four contests. Although he doesn’t have an elite targets, Terry McLaurin and Washington’s supporting receivers have been productive. Haskins’ 269.8 passing yards per game are encouraging.
