Landry not in a good situation: Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett surprised everyone Thursday by saying rookie DeJon Gomes will start the rest of the season at strong safety. Current starter LaRon Landry has been hampered by groin and Achilles' problems. Coach Mike Shanahan confirmed that Landry will go on IR and will need surgery on his Achilles' after the season.

Fantasy Analysis
This news likely signals the Redskins have already shut down Landry, who continues to be slowed by injuries. Fantasy owners should probably make plans to use healthier alternatives moving forward. If Landry's status improves, then we will let you know. (Updated 12/15/2011).
LaRon Landry was on his way toward a big season in 2010 before a variety of injuries derailed his year. He should be healthy this year in what is expected to be a contract season. Last year, in just nine games, Landry had 85 total tackles (66 solo) with one sack, one interception, one fumble, one forced fumble and eight passes knocked down. We consider Landry a solid No. 2 DB in IDP leagues, and he should be drafted with a mid-round pick. Hopefully he can stay healthy for a full season because then he would post monster stats -- and get paid as a result. (Updated 5/2/11)
