Who Should I Start? Dareke Young or Malik Washington

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Dareke Young caught three of his four targets for a team-high 44 receiving yards in Saturday's 16-3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 2022 draftee's catch and target totals also tied for most on the team. He was also involved in Seattle's longest play of the game. Tucked in close to the Seahawks' line, Young was marked only by a linebacker who he easily outran while crossing over the middle. Once open, Sam Howell fired a dart to Young for a gain of 26 yards. Young showed good hands in the game but he is not a viable fantasy option.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington found the end zone for the second time in the last three weeks on Sunday against the Bills, and he caught multiple passes for the eighth week in a row. He has a good matchup against the Commanders this week, but his yardage totals have been underwhelming in the Dolphins' conservative passing scheme. While Washington has 30 catches, he only has 192 yards this year, and last week, he only had nine yards on his two catches. He saved his fantasy week with a touchdown against the Bills, but this week he's the No. 52 wide receiver in RotoBaller's rankings, even against the Commanders, who give up the third-most fantasy points to receivers. The Dolphins haven't given him many chances for big plays, although his volume of targets and catches does make him a deep league option to monitor.
