Jamison Crowder is the beneficiary of his teammates' misfortunes right now, and Desean Jackson's hamstring is still iffy enough that we don't know if he will be able to return for Week 6, while Jordan Reed is dealing with a trio of issues, including a concussion and knee and ankle injuries that don't sound particularly promising for a return next week. And with his opportunities in Week 5, Crowder managed to reel in all eight of his targets for 87 yards, bringing his catch rate for the season up to an impressive 82% on his 28 targets.

With 15 catches in the past two games, Crowder has already supplanted Andre Roberts on the depth chart as the Redskins' go-to slot receiver, and as long as the two heaviest hitters on the team in Jackson and Reed remain sidelined, Crowder will have ample opportunities to make plays. But even when they return, Crowder has done enough to deserve a role in the passing game moving forward.

Roster Crowder and start him, particularly in PPR leagues until Jackson and Reed come back. But even when they do come back, hold onto Crowder to see what his role looks like moving forward.
