London Fletcher pondering retirement
LB

Washington Redskins

Washington ILB London Fletcher told the Washington Post that he doesn't yet know whether he'll play in 2013. Fletcher said it's the same thought process he's gone through over the past 4 or 5 seasons. Really, it should come as no surprise that a guy who will turn 38 in May can't answer that question in February. If Fletcher does stick around, he should continue to be a strong fantasy factor. If he doesn't, fellow ILB Perry Riley could be in for a stat boost.

London Fletcher questionable for Thursday
LB

Washington Redskins

Washington ILB London Fletcher is in danger of missing Thursday's clash with Dallas. The veteran sprained his left ankle in Sunday's win over Philly. Just like when he got hurt earlier this season, the situatino will require IDP owners to watch likely right up until Thursday. Fletcher hasn't missed a game. Ever. So he gets more benefit of the doubt than pretty much anyone else. Still, his owners need to make sure they have a backup plan ready.

London Fletcher is active despite the hamstring injury and "balance issues" he brought out of last week's game. It's risky to sit Fletcher whenever he's active (which is always). We still like a healthy Perry Riley for better numbers, though.

London Fletcher might have concussion, too
LB

Washington Redskins

HC Mike Shanahan revealed today that ILB London Fletcher isn't just dealing with a hamstring injury. He also had hours of testing to determine whether he suffered a concussion in the loss to the Giants. Combine the 2 issues, and Fletcher isn't looking like a good bet to keep his consecutive-games streak going. Lorenzo Alexander would start in Fletcher's place. The vet's absence would only make Perry Riley a better tackle bet against Pittsburgh.

London Fletcher 'basically' day to day
LB

Washington Redskins

Washington ILB London Fletcher called himself "basically" day-to-day after having his injured hamstring checked out on Monday. That seems to indicate that he'll likely play on Sunday, given the fact that he has never missed an NFL game. We'll see if late-week practices and injury reports tell otherwise. Use perhaps a bit more caution with Fletcher, in case the team decides to give his hammy some snaps off. But sitting him is risky if he's in the lineup.

London Fletcher to have MRI
LB

Washington Redskins

ILB London Fletcher will reportedly have an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of a hamstring injury. The veteran left near the end of Sunday's loss at the Giants but stayed on the sideline until the game was over. He was replaced by Lorenzo Alexander, who would likely start if Fletcher misses time. The 37-year-old has played in 231 consecutive games, dating back to his rookie year of 1998 with St. Louis.

Washington MLB London Fletcher is active today, as he has been for the past 219 games. He was listed as questionable with an ankle sprain but is good to go for fantasy owners.

London Fletcher questionable
LB

Washington Redskins

Washington ILB London Fletcher is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Jets because of an ankle sprain. This is the 3rd straight week in which the injury has put Fletcher on the week's final report. He was officially probable each of the previous 2 games, though. Keep an eye on Fletcher's status through the weekend. He's an obvious IDP starter if active.

London Fletcher expected to play
LB

Washington Redskins

Washington ILB London Fletcher is listed as questionable for Sunday with a hamstring pull. HC Mike Shanahan said he expects Fletcher to play, though. Similarly, S O.J. Atogwe hopes to play against the Bills despite being questionable with a knee injury that kept him out in Week 7.

London Fletcher went blitz-happy against Cards
LB

Washington Redskins

According to Rich Campbell of The Washington Times, ILB London Fletcher blitzed on 10 of Arizona's 33 dropbacks in Week 2. "He is back to his explosive self, showing no signs of the groin/hamstring injury that sidelined him in the preseason," Campbell wrote, referring also to Fletcher's play in coverage and flying to the ball on rush attempts. Fletcher didn't register a sack on the day but did have 2.5 last year. He remains the strongest IDP bet in the Washington LB corps by a wide margin, no matter how close he gets to his 50th birthday.

London Fletcher expects to make more tackles
LB

Washington Redskins

ILB London Fletcher is already noticing positive effects from the addition of DL Barry Cofield. Fletcher told the Washington Post that fewer blockers are reaching him and that he's finding clearer tackling lanes on run plays. That assessment comes just a week and a half into team workouts, but Fletcher has been in the league 13 years and generally isn't 1 for hyperbole. He says he expects Cofield's arrival to lead to more tackles, which is always good for IDP value.

London Fletcher London Fletcher fumes over Pro Bowl
LB

Washington Redskins
Redskins LB London Fletcher learned he was a Pro Bowl alternate for the 8th time and was not happy. Keep in mind, this guy has more tackles than anyone in the NFL this decade, and has never missed a game in 11 years. Here's part of his rant: "I understand they can take only two middle linebackers, but to have it happen year after year after year after year after year. I'm an eight-time alternate. I'm the Susan Lucci of the NFL... I don't know if it was because I wasn't a first-round draft pick, I don't do some kind of dance when I make a 10-yard tackle, I don't go out and get arrested... I believe in playing the game the way it's supposed to be played. You line up each and every week, each and every play, and you go out and get the job done."

London Fletcher LB London Fletcher might be out
LB

Washington Redskins
The AP reports: "London Fletcher was one of three Redskins defensive starters unable to practice Wednesday because of foot injuries, putting the middle linebacker's streak of 130 consecutive NFL starts in jeopardy." IDP'ers might want to pull another LB off the wire, like Rocky Boiman (KC), Xavier Adibi (Hou), or Brandon Chillar (GB).

London Fletcher Redskins fire DC Gregg Williams
LB

Washington Redskins
The Washington Redskins fired DC Gregg Williams and promoted DL coach Greg Blache to the position. Williams just interviewed for the vacant Jaguars DC job, left open when Mike Smith took the head coaching job in Atlanta.  Strange that Williams goes from being the #1 candidate to replace Joe Gibbs to unemployed in one week. His Redskins defenses have ranked top-9 overall in 3 of 4 years.

The Redskins will meet with Titans DC Jim Schwartz about their head coaching job. If they're considering Schwartz, why not just promote their own DC Gregg Williams? Schwartz was Williams' pupil at Tennessee years ago.

London Fletcher London Fletcher rings up IDP stats
LB

Washington Redskins
Bills LB London Fletcher had a career day vs. Green Bay. He intercepted a Brett Favre pass and ran it back 17 yards for a TD, while piling up 14 tackles and 4 passes defensed. Fletcher made two huge stops on 3rd down and was often dropping back into coverage to interrupt short routes by the Packers WRs. "London's doing everything we ask of him," sad Dick Jauron.
