RSP Boiler Room No.45: WR James Washington, Oklahoma State
Washington had a 9-catch, 296-yard, 2-touchdown performance against Pitt in mid-September. Waldman puts one of those plays under the RSP microscope.

I won’t share everything here but for you hardcore fantasy football geeks hungry for more, limiting my observations to 10 items probably feels like an appetizer.These are simply notes…
