Who Should I Start? Bijan Robinson or Malik Washington

Saturday, December 6, 9:41 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson continues to produce despite his team losing six of the last seven games, as he's currently the fourth-ranked running back in PPR formats after adding five receptions for 51 yards to his 142-yard rushing total in last week's 27-24 loss to the Jets. The 23-year-old's seven targets were an encouraging development with Kirk Cousins under center after totaling just five in Cousins' previous two starts. Week 14 brings a home matchup with the Seahawks, a defense that has yielded the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs, but that has also allowed the second-most receptions per game (5.7) and fourth-most receiving yards per game (39.7) to opposing backs. Whether the Falcons are playing from behind or with a lead, Robinson should be heavily involved regardless and is once again a rock-solid RB1 for Sunday's contest.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington is getting plenty of catches in his role as the team's second receiver, but he isn't turning those catches into big numbers, making him a high-risk play against the Jets. He has multiple catches in 10 straight games dating back to Week 3, and he has at least three catches in seven of his last eight. He hasn't hit 50 yards in any contest yet, though, and didn't find the end zone in either of his last two games. He has a decent PPR floor in the Dolphins' low-risk, dink and dunk passing game, but he doesn't have a high ceiling since he hasn't been able to break loose for any big plays. Washington is the WR52 in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he's only a desperation WR5 or flex play in the deepest of leagues.
