Week 11 Outlook
Availability
Bills safety Bacarri Rambo did it all Thursday night against the Jets, forcing a fumble that Duke Williams returned for a touchdown, forcing and recovering another fumble, and sealing the game with a last-minute interception.
Fantasy Impact
They were Rambo's first turnovers of the season, so count this as his blowup game of the year, similar to his two interceptions of Aaron Rodgers last season.
The Washington Redskins waived safety Bacarri Rambo on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Rambo has had problems throughout the preseason and first couple weeks of the regular season with pass coverage. What did him in was the 63-yard TD he allowed last week against the Jags. He will find work somewhere relatively quickly as he is a hard working safety with a great motor, making him a pretty good depth guy.
Redskins safety Bacarri Rambo was pulled from the game after allowing a 63-yard TD at the end of the first half. Trenton Robinson replaced Rambo.
Fantasy Impact
Rambo was one of the worst starting cover safeties in the NFL, but unfortunately for Washington, Brandon Meriweather (who will now reprise his role as the starting safety after returning from his suspension) is not much better. Rambo has no value in IDP leagues.
Washington safety Bacarri Rambo let Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins burn him for a 76-yard touchdown on Sunday. Rambo admitted that he didn't even see Hopkins pass him, but took responsibility for the blown coverage. His only stats on the day were two tackles.
Fantasy Impact
That reception was the longest one Rambo has allowed in his two NFL seasons. Considering how much of a non-factor Rambo was on Sunday, it's very possible that HC Jay Gruden may decide to start Duke Ihenacho in his stead on Sunday against Jacksonville. Neither Rambo or Ihenacho are recommended fantasy options in IDP leagues, no matter who starts.
Redskins safety Bacarri Rambo will replace suspended safety Brandon Meriweather as one of the team's starting safeties this week. Safety Duke Ihenacho will backup Rambo.
Fantasy Impact
Rambo was expected to be the starter as soon as Meriweather got suspended, especially since Ihenacho doesn't know the system. Rookie mistakes got Rambo benched last season, but he's much wiser this year. His pursuit and tackling have also sharply improved in his sophomore campaign, so he can certainly make a difference as a run-stopper, if nothing else. He's not worth a pickup in fantasy, however.
