WASHINGTON 鈥� Welcome back, friends.

If you鈥檙e new here, this is a yearly expedition into trying to find a handful or two of topical, timely names for your fantasy football team. We鈥檝e been doing it every year since 2015. So we try to avoid anything too close to what鈥檚 been done before, and also the generic names that pop up in every fantasy football league. You can find those elsewhere.

There鈥檚 a heavy local bent to this year鈥檚 crop, but we鈥檝e got references to events happening around the league. Everything is also PG enough to be used in a work league 鈥� we’re not trying to get anybody fired here. So without any further ado, here’s your 2018 list of suggestions.

Mr. Smith throws to Washington The most obvious headline upon the acquisition of Alex Smith was . But now that he鈥檚 here, we might as well lean into it and take it the next step along the progression. Just like Smith will make his way through the progressions and eventually dump the ball off to running backs out of the backfield. I didn鈥檛 say he was going to throw downfield, but 鈥淢r. Smith checks down鈥� just doesn鈥檛 have the same ring to it. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)

A Kurt Goodbye In welcoming Alex Smith, the Burgundy and Gold said farewell to their erstwhile quarterback, Kirk Cousins. Or should I say 鈥淜urt鈥� Cousins, since for months. Sure, maybe it鈥檚 just the accent. But given the way the team unceremoniously swept him out the door, you鈥檒l never totally convince me it was unintentional. (AP Photo/Jim Mone)

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman (25) of Team Irvin normally a defensive player runs with the football on offense as Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald (99) and Oakland Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack (52) of Team Rice close in on him in the third quarter of the NFL Pro Bowl football game, Sunday, Jan. 31, 2016, in Honolulu.

Holding out for Mack/Donald鈥檚 money Two of the best defensive ends in the league 鈥� the Raiders鈥� Khalil Mack and the Rams鈥� Aaron Donald 鈥� are both being lowballed by their respective clubs and are both holding out of training camp for more money. While nobody would hold out for McDonald鈥檚 money, it鈥檚 understandable for anyone with that much talent to hold out for what Mack and Donald will eventually make. (AP Photo/Eugene Tanner)

TB12 Test Tom Brady鈥檚 unorthodox training and diet regimens may work for him, but there鈥檚 some question as to whether or not they may have worked too well for his favorite receiver, Julian Edelman. Edelman is suspended the first four games of the season for a positive PED test, and though he鈥檚 worked closely with Brady鈥檚 trainer Alex Guerrero, Guerrero was . Anyway, . Nothing to see here, people! (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)

RG3rd String Look who鈥檚 back in the mid-Atlantic, still bringing oblique, inspirational quotes to your social media platform of choice. Robert Griffin III will likely be largely relegated to clipboard duty in Baltimore this year, but I鈥檇 be lying if I said I wasn鈥檛 hoping he鈥檒l get the lion鈥檚 share of snaps against Washington in the final preseason game in a couple weeks.

Sorry you missed Jackson (ooh!) he is for real If Joe Flacco ever was elite, that ship has sailed. The Ravens know it too, which is why they drafted Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson, even after every other team found an excuse to pass on him. Will we get to see Jackson play this year? Maybe, maybe not. But whenever we do, here鈥檚 to betting that a lot of teams are going to regret they passed on him. (AP Photo/Nick Wass)
