News: Redskins rookie DE Jarvis Jenkins tore his right ACL and will miss the season, his agent Joseph Flanagan said Friday morning. Jenkins was hurt in Thursday's 34-31 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: Jenkins is expected to miss his rookie year, but continue to monitor his progress. Even when healthy he has minimal Fantasy value in IDP leagues. Ignore him on Draft Day.
News: Washington DE Jarvis Jenkins, who sprained his left knee in the first quarter vs. Baltimore on Thursday, will have an MRI on Friday morning. Jenkins heard something pop in his knee but said he thinks it might not be too serious.
Analysis: Jenkins was able to see first-team reps with Adam Carriker sitting out, but he was injured early in the opportunity. He figures to be a big part of the rotation even if not as a starter, but the injury may set him back. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on the issue going forward, though Jenkins is not worth a selection on Draft Day for now.
News: Redskins rookie DT Jarvis Jenkins, the team's second-round pick, went down with an apparent knee injury in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Ravens. He was diagnosed with a sprained knee soon after, and his return is questionable.

News: The Redskins used many of their acquired draft picks in the 2011 draft to add talent to the defense. After taking Ryan Kerrigan in Round 1, the Redskins selected Clemson DT Jarvis Jenkins (Round 2), Nebraska safety DeJon Gomes (Round 5), Boise State CB Brandyn Thompson (Round 7), Florida State LB Markus White (Round 7) and West Virginia DT Chris Neild (Round 7).
Analysis: The Redskins made it clear this offseason that they want competition for their starting spots. However, some of these players will be behind the likes of Brian Orakpo, DeAngelo Hall and LaRon Landry on the depth chart. Aside from Kerrigan, we wouldn't recommend spending a draft pick on any of these Redskins rookies in Fantasy play.
