![]() ![]() Washington also drafted downfield-threat Dyami Brown in the third round. But he has a solid supporting cast to target after Washington signed Curtis Samuel and Adam Humphries to join 1,000-yard wideout Terry McLaurin. Of course, he certainly won't be that efficient downfield this season with an expected large increase in attempts. ![]() Fitzpatrick led the league in on-target percentage on attempts of at least 20 yards (65.0) and ranked second in completion percentage (60.5). He didn't go downfield much - just 7.5 percent of his 267 attempts were 20-plus yards, third fewest in the league - but when he did, he was usually on the mark. He was sixth in the league in completion percentage (68.5) and his 7.8 YPA ranked eighth. Nevertheless, Fitzpatrick was effective when he played. With the Dolphins, Fitzgerald was keeping the starting seat warm until rookie Tua Tagovailoa was ready to take over, which he did at midseason. With Dwayne Haskins waived before last season was even over and only Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen around as backups, Fitzgerald likely won't have to look over his shoulder in Washington this year like he did in Miami last year. The 38-year-old is on his ninth team in 17 NFL seasons, signing with the Football Team in March. There are journeymen, and then there's Fitzpatrick. ![]()
