The Washington Post reports that Redskins QB Donovan McNabb is in Arizona working out with his receivers in an effort to be ready for the start of training camp. McNabb said it's "Hell Week" as the receivers train with him near his home in Phoenix. "I think it's important for the specialists on the offense to have that chemistry, to have that bond," McNabb says, "where they can trust me and I can trust them." Wide receivers Devin Thomas, Santana Moss and Malcolm Kelly are among those expected to participate. For McNabb and his receivers, every repetition, every throw and every snap is another small step in one of the game's most important relationships. "You want to get on that same page where he knows where I'm going to break out at when we're running certain routes," said Thomas, a third-year wide receiver. "Just so you can get that confidence to where we've done it before without the pads on and without the pressure on. So when we get in those clutch situations in games, you have that comfort level you need."
Analysis: Anything McNabb can do to help the Redskins passing game improve is a good thing, and we like McNabb making the effort to show he's ready to lead the team. We like McNabb as a low-end No. 1/high-end No. 2 Fantasy QB in all leagues. If you can get him as a No. 2 option with a mid-round pick then your Fantasy team is in good shape. But if you reach for him as a starter thinking he will perform like he did with the Eagles then you could be in trouble. His receiving corps isn't as talented as what he left behind with the Eagles, but McNabb should be able to make it the passing game in Washington work well enough to post quality stats.
