Sam Howell Struggles In Week 15, Benched In The Fourth Quarter

Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell struggled in Sunday's loss to the Rams. The signal-caller went 11-for-26 passing for 102 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He added three carries for 22 yards. However, Howell was benched late in the game, opening the door for Jacoby Brissett to enter and finish with two passing touchdowns. There weren't any reports indicating Howell was injured, so it's likely he was benched for performance reasons. As a result, he may not be under center for the Week 16 meeting with the Jets, which would eliminate what little fantasy value he has left.
