Barry Cofield set to return in Week 11

Redskins DL Barry Cofield is set to return in Week 11 from a high ankle sprain suffered in the season opener at Houston. The Redskins defense has played well at times but has had little depth since Cofield went down. The question is: Where will he play? Chris Baker has excelled at nose tackle in his absence. Redskins DC Jim Haslett said "He can play end, nose. He’ll play nickel, we’ll work him back in, kind of like we did with Stephen [Bowen], and see where he’s at conditioning-wise.†(Washington Post)
Fantasy Impact:
Cofield may not get an ideal number of snaps in his first week back and is a marginal IDP player, even in leagues that utilize three DL starters. It's probably safe to ignore Cofield for now.
