It might be Kelvin Harmon time for the Washington Redskins.
Dwayne Haskins will get the start under center for the Redskins against the New York Jets but he might end up going without deep threat Paul Richardson.
That could mean big things for Harmon, a sixth-round pick who has only caught eight passes this year. He’s been a point of anticipation for Redskins fans since getting selected 206th, largely because he put up more than 2,600 yards and 16 touchdowns at NC State with an ability to consistently move the chains.
With Richardson out, Harmon might get the nod for a big snap count, as ESPN’s John Keim noted:
Receiver Paul Richardson did not practice again Friday as he rehabs a hamstring injury. There’s still a chance he plays this week but it could open the door for rookie Kelvin Harmon to get more time.

It couldn’t hurt for Haskins to develop a good rapport with a reliable underneath target like Harmon. The Redskins already struck gold with Terry McLaurin, but it would be nice to see someone else emerge for the rookie passer.
With the Jets likely sending pressure early and often, Harmon could end up having a big day.
