The Oakland Raiders have claimed QB DeShone Kizer off of waivers. Kizer spent the 2017 season starting the majority of games after Aaron Rodgers went down with an injury. He struggled mightily as a passer, throwing only 11 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. (Field Yates on Twitter)

The Redskins claimed Eagles RB Wendell Smallwood, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

With Kizer joining the roster, either Mike Glennon or Nathan Peterman will likely get the boot. Kizer has to earn the backup job in Oakland, and likely won't play a fantasy role this year, barring an injury to Derek Carr.
