Washington will have DE Jason Hatcher (neck) and LB Keenan Robinson (shoulder) active today against the Bills. Neither has made IDP-relevant contributions for a while, though, and fall short of trustworthy fantasy football status.

Washington will have DE Jason Hatcher (neck) and ILB Keenan Robinson (shoulder) are both active for today's game against the Bears despite entering the day questionable. Neither makes for an attractive IDP play, though, and Washington is no more than a boom/bust DFS defense in fantasy.

Washington will have ILB Keenan Robinson (heel) and DE Jason Hatcher (knee) available for today's game against the Buccaneers. Both had been listed as questionable. Use Robinson as you normally would in your IDP league. Hatcher has produced at a sluggish pace since a strong Week 1, though. You can probably find a better option.

Washington DE Jason Hatcher is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs. He returned for limited practices Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday with a knee injury. Hatcher's not worth waiting for in your IDP league. He has tallied just 5 total tackles an no sacks since a promising Week 1.

Washington DE Jason Hatcher is inactive for today's game against the Giants because of a knee injury he has dealt with for a few weeks.

Washington DE Jason Hatcher is active for today's game against the Rams. He had been questionable with a knee issue but played through it last week. He should be fine to use in a positive matchup with the Rams.

Washington DE Jason Hatcher is active for today's game at Indy. He had been questionable after a knee injury limited his practice time this week. Hatcher carries some upside against a Colts team that allowed 5 sacks to the Jaguars last week, but his low tackle count this season also lowers his IDP floor.

Washington DE Jason Hatcher is expected to miss 4-6 weeks following surgery on his left knee.  A Tuesday MRI revealed the need for a "clean up" scope, according to ESPN's John Keim.  Hatcher had reported pain and swelling apparently caused by a cartilage issue.  The timeline should return him to the field well before the start of the regular season, but Hatcher is learning a new position after moving from Dallas' 4-3 "Tampa 2" scheme to Washington's primarily 3-4 front.  We'll see how he performs upon his return and figure out whether he can help your IDP squad in 2014.

Cowboys DT Jason Hatcher (stinger) returned to practice Friday, but Jerry Jones said his top lineman remains a game-time decision for Sunday night's clash with the Saints.  Hatcher remains unsure about his status and will have to wear a special neck brace if he does play.  The Sunday night kickoff makes it difficult to wait on him for your IDP lineup.  Even if he's active, we can't know what to expect from Hatcher as he deals with a stinger for the 1st time.  Look elsewhere for DL help this week.

Cowboys DT Jason Hatcher suffered a stinger in the Week 9 victory over the Vikings, but he said it won't keep him from playing the Saints in Week 10.  Hatcher has been the star of Dallas' D-line this season and a surprise top 10 performer at his position for IDP owners.  Barring reports of injury-related limitations, Hatcher figures to stay in starting range in our Week 10 rankings (which will be out Wednesday).

Cowboys DT Jason Hatcher had an MRI Monday on the shoulder injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to Denver.  Hatcher had previously called it a "mild" stinger, but neither he nor coaches are sure whether he'll take the field for practice on Wednesday.  We'll keep an eye on his status through the week to see if Hatcher will be available Sunday night vs. Washington.
