Derrius Guice
RB -
Week 11 Outlook
Availability
Current free-agent and former Washington Football Team RB Derrius Guice still faces a six-game suspension due to violation of the league's personal conduct policy, despite a Virginia judge dismissing his misdemeanor domestic violence charge due to a previous settlement.
Fantasy Impact
Guice was selected in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of LSU but rarely saw the field due to injuries. It remains to be seen whether a team will target the 24-year old after serving his six-game suspension, but he is certainly young enough with limited mileage on his legs, having totaled 42 carries for 245 yards and two touchdowns in his NFL career.
Former Washington Football Team running back Derrius Guice is accused of raping two former Louisiana State University students just months apart in 2016, when Guice a member of the LSU football team, according to a report published in USA Today Wednesday. Guice was released by Washington earlier in the month following an alleged recent domestic violence incident.
Fantasy Impact
The report goes on to add that these allegations were reported to the school at the time, but LSU did not appear to investigate. This is a troubling development for both Guice and his alma mater, and, after going unclaimed on waivers 10 days ago, Guice's career in the NFL may already be over. After being drafted by Washington in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft, Guice has played just five games combined over his first two seasons in the NFL due to injuries.
Derrius Guice has cleared waivers.
Fantasy Impact
Guice was released by the Washington Football Team after he was arrested for domestic violence on Friday. There's a good chance he won't get a second chance in the NFL.
Washington RB Derrius Guice has been released by the team following arrest.
Fantasy Impact
After being arrested on accounts of domestic violence, Washington has quickly released their top RB. Antonio Gibson is probably the biggest beneficiary in the Washington backfield and veteran Adrian Peterson could once again lead the team in carries this season.
Washington Football Team running back Derrius Guice was arrested Friday afternoon on domestic violence-related charges, including one count of strangulation, according to a report from The Washington Post.
Fantasy Impact
Guice has dealt with injuries the last two seasons, and many were hoping that Year 3 would finally be the season that he broke out and fulfilled his potential. Now, he is likely looking at a suspension from the league, depending on how the investigation plays out. Stay tuned for updates on this status.
