Kelvin Harmon looks like the front runner to start opposite McLaurin. Another 2019 draft pick, his rookie stats aren't particularly encouraging on face value. A sixth-round pick out of NC State, Harmon went for 30 catches and 365 yards last year. 

Dig deeper and things start to look better. Of Harmon's 30 catches, 20 of them came once Dwayne Haskins got inserted into the starting lineup. Haskins and Harmon knew each other growing up in New Jersey and talk like old friends. Additionally, they've been working out together this offseason, as much as Coronavirus protocols allow anyway. 

Harmon lacks top speed but is big and has good hands, not to mention toughness and is a willing blocker. In a normal offseason period, it would be no surprise if Harmon was on the field with the starting offense right now. 

That doesn't mean the job is definitely his. Fourth-round rookie Antonio Gandy-Golden is coming to Washington after two prolific college seasons at small Liberty University. There will obviously be a major acclimation period going from Liberty to the NFL, but Gandy-Golden has the size and speed to make the adjustment. How quickly he can make that adjustment will determine his playing time. A recent bout with the Coronavirus seems like it will not be a factor for the rookie wideout as he said in a statement he's fully recovered. He contracted the virus in March.

Washington WR Kelvin Harmon has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the 2020 season. 

Harmon suffered the injury getting in shape for camp. The No. 206 overall pick of last year's draft, Harmon made some noise down the stretch for Washington's undermanned receiver corps. Although he lacked an ADP in fantasy drafts, Harmon was on track for a 2020 role. Washington's receiver depth chart is now ludicrously thin behind Terry McLaurin. Steven Sims and Antonio Gibson's arrows are pointed skyward. Five months shy of his 24th birthday, Harmon is not much of a Dynasty league stash.
