Who Should I Start? Jahan Dotson or Malik Washington

Saturday, November 22, 12:14 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson has been an inconsistent contributor in fantasy football this season, and he remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues ahead of Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. Dotson turned in a solid two-catch, 43-yard showing last week, but he also has zero catches in two of his last four games. Dotson's floor remains quite low given his role in the Eagles' offense. As the No. 3 receiver in an offense that likes to run the ball, Dotson should only expect a couple of targets per game (at most), and most of them will be contested throws deeper downfield. Plus, his snap share has taken a step backward, as he played fewer than one-third of the snaps in each of his last two games. He is a boom-or-bust receiver who ranks outside the top 100 receivers in fantasy points this season. Even against a susceptible Dallas defense, Dotson is not a safe receiver to rely upon.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington hasn't been a major fantasy contributor this season, but has maintained a consistent role in the offense as a gadget piece. Washington has at least three touches in every game this season, but hasn't recorded more than six in a game. The second-year wideout has scored both of his touchdowns on the season in the past four weeks, totaling 12 catches (14 targets) for 135 yards and two touchdowns, along with four carries for 17 yards. He ranks as the WR32 in total PPR points during that time. Washington is a viable option in deeper PPR leagues thanks to his reliable floor for receptions in Miami's passing attack, and is worth adding ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
