Jets Release Allen Lazard

Tuesday, December 16, 10:48 AM

The New York Jets are releasing wide receiver Allen Lazard, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. Lazard hasn't played a significant role for the Jets this season, collecting 10 catches for 70 yards on 18 targets in 10 games. His snap share dipped to just 22.4% over the past three games after averaging 45.7% over his first seven games. The 29-year-old wideout was passed on the depth chart by trade-deadline acquisitions Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie III, who both present more youth and upside at the WR position. Lazard will likely be scooped by another team in the coming days, but he can be ignored in fantasy football.

Malik Washington Has Breakout Potential After Offseason Movement in Miami

Friday, April 10, 5:45 PM

Across 17 games in 2025, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington recorded 46 receptions for 317 yards and three touchdowns on 65 targets. The 25-year-old also played a role as a rusher, collecting 110 yards and a touchdown on 17 attempts. While Washington's average of 6.9 yards per reception doesn't exactly jump off the page, there may still be reason to believe in him as a breakout candidate in 2026. Miami's pass-catching corps underwent a major overhaul over the offseason, as Jaylen Waddle was traded to the Denver Broncos and Tyreek Hill (knee) is currently a free agent. The Dolphins brought in wide receivers Tutu Atwell and Jalen Tolbert as replacements, but neither profiles as a high-volume target-earner. If Washington can develop early chemistry with new Miami quarterback Malik Willis, he has a chance to emerge as a leader in the team's wide receiver room. In dynasty formats, Washington could be a prime buy-low candidate.
