Impact Apke played exclusively on special teams last year and logged six tackles (five solo) while appearing in all 17 games. He'll remain in Washington for a fifth straight year, but he'll have to compete for playing time once again ahead of the 2022 campaign after his decrease in production last season.

Clears COVID protocols Apke was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Apke was able to clear COVID protocols within five days and will return to provide depth in the secondary, although he mostly contributes on special teams. With Kendall Fuller still on the COVID list and out for Week 15, it's possible Apke could see extra work Tuesday against the Eagles.

Placed on COVID-19 list Washington placed Apke on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Field Yates of ESPN reports that only one of the 31 players placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday was an unvaccinated high-risk close contact (Giants safety Xavier McKinney) meaning Apke tested positive for the virus.

JUNE 15, 2021 • RIGGOSRAG.COM

Benched after midseason Apke started seven of 16 games during the 2020 season, recording 35 tackles (25 solo) and two pass defenses.

Impact Apke was a starter for Weeks 1-5 and 11-12, averaging 59 defensive snaps and 4.3 tackles in those games. Apart from those seven starts, he played just 28 defensive snaps, primarily focusing on special teams while rookie seventh-round pick Kamren Curl emerged as a reliable starter on defense. Given that Landon Collins (Achilles), Deshazor Everett (pectoral) and Jeremy Reaves also made starts at safety, Apke could be on the roster bubble heading into 2021, the final season of his rookie contract. To this point in his career, the 2018 fourth-round pick hasn't shown coverage skills to match his 4.34 speed.

NOVEMBER 22, 2020 • WASHINGTONTIMES.COM

Set to start Sunday Apke will start at free safety Sunday against the Bengals, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Deshazor Everett (ankle) is unavailable Sunday, so Apke will receive the start in his place. The 25-year-old started the first five games of the season and totaled 24 tackles (18 solo) and two passes defensed.

NOVEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Bumps to reserve role Apke will serve as a backup to Deshazor Everett during Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Apke was replaced by Everett during the Week 5 loss to the Rams, and he'll remain in a reserve role while Everett takes over at free safety. Apke was a decent IDP contributor before, but his fantasy value is negligible unless he takes over as a starter again.

Posts eight tackles in win Apke made eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Eagles.

Impact Washington let up 17 points in the first half Sunday but quickly turned things around, shutting out the Eagles in the second half. Apke played every snap and finished tied with Jon Bostic for the team lead in tackles. It appears Apke is locked into a starting role, and he could yield some IDP value moving forward.
