Schefter: Garrett Gilbert still likely starting Tuesday for Washington

Washington Football Team quarterback Garrett Gilbert is the likely starter for Tuesday's Week 15 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.

What It Means:

Taylor Heinicke or Kyle Allen still have a chance to clear COVID-19 protocols in time for Tuesday's game, but as of now, Schefter says Gilbert is expected to start at quarterback for Washington. Kyle Shurmur would presumably be Gilbert's backup. The entire situation is suboptimal for Terry McLaurin's fantasy outlook and the Football Team's offense as a whole.

numberFire's models project Gilbert for 13.4 FanDuel points on Tuesday night. He has appeared in seven games for his career and completed 23-of-44 passes for 283 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
