Let’s face it, the Washington Redskins are not a very good football team. With their 2-3 record, many Redskins fans are already calling for Jim Zorn to be fired.

But there is a player on the Redskins who could deliver significant fantasy value on the balance of season, and that is Jason Campbell.

Campbell is only owned in 37.0% of ESPN leagues, which means that he is probably available in your format as well.

On the season, Jason Campbell has 1,108 passing yards with a 6-5 TD/INT ratio. Not spectacular numbers, but let’s check out some deeper statistics.

In four out of five games this season, Campbell has thrown one interception or less. His Week 4 game against Tampa Bay looks like a solid outlier, when he threw three picks.

Another statistic to consider: in four out of five games, he also has completed 65.7% of his passes or higher. He is an accurate quarterback, even under pressure.

The Redskins’ offense as a whole has not produced very much to date, but look for Campbell to continue passing efficiently. The team should continue to improve in the future, which would help Campbell’s overall numbers.

The upside on Campbell? Well, he can evolve into a top 12 fantasy quarterback by the end of the season. More realistically, he will finish the season as a high end fantasy backup. He could become a valuable asset as a platoon fantasy starter, depending on the matchup.

If you are in need of a backup quarterback with upside, look no further than Jason Campbell. Roster him now before he starts pumping out some nice statistical lines.
