Redskins FB Darrel Young (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 12. Young was limited in practice this week and is tentatively expected to play on Monday night against the 49ers. He's managed to score touchdowns in two of the last three weeks, but remains off the fantasy radar.

Darrel Young rushed once for no gain in Washington's Week 10 loss to the Vikings. Young was held without a catch on one target in the passing game. His lone carry came on a 3rd-and-1 from the Redskins' 49-yard line with time running out in the fourth quarter. He couldn't convert, setting up a fourth down. As was suspected, Young's three-touchdown outburst against the Chargers was game-plan specific to Week 9. He remains well off the fantasy radar.

ESPN Redskins blogger John Keim believes FB Darrel Young's three Week 9 touchdowns were less of a trend and more of a "wrinkle specific for (the Chargers') defense." The Chargers didn't slant their defensive line, so Young's straight-ahead style worked wonders at the goal line. His touchdowns came from one, one, and four yards out. We wouldn't even bother picking up Young in fantasy leagues, beyond perhaps 16-teamers. He's a lead blocker and lightly-used checkdown option.

There's no urgency on deal because the Redskins can likely retain him via a $1.323 right-of-first-refusal tender.

Redskins FB Darrel Young (hamstring) resumed practicing on Tuesday. The lead-blocking in coach Mike Shanahan's zone-blocking scheme is expected to make his preseason debut on Saturday. His return will lead to fewer snaps for Chris Cooley, who had been moonlighting at fullback of late.
