Rest-of-Season Projections
Likely out for Week 11
Coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that Smith-Williams (upper body) probably won't play Sunday at Denver, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Although it's not immediately clear when he picked it up, Smith-Williams is dealing with an upper body issue that looks like it's going to keep him out for at least one game. If he is sidelined, it could mean increased playing time for 2022 third-rounder DeAngelo Malone.

First-round rookie QB Jayden Daniels may be running for his life behind a porous O-line this season, but his playmaking at least should result in the occasional highlight-worthy play.
Assuming Kirk Cousins continues to make good progress from last season's torn Achilles, the Falcons have all the pieces in place to reach the postseason for the first time since 2017.
Tyreek Hill and De'Von Achane both are questionable, and their numbers might disappoint even if they play given Miami's slew of injury concerns along the offensive line.
Already thin at wide receiver, the Saints can only hope Chris Olave gains clearance from an independent neurologist Friday night or Saturday.
Rhamondre Stevenson is the centerpiece of a broken offense, and this should be one of his better weeks thanks to Sunday's matchup with another last-place team.
Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
Smith-Williams is Washington's top backup at defensive end, potentially setting him up for a lot of playing time if Chase Young struggles to stay healthy again. Smith-Williams and Young both are in the final year of their rookie contracts, and neither has proven to be a consistent pass-rushing threat to bookened Montez Sweat.
