Jalen McMillan News
Saturday, May 30, 4:45 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan looked "slightly better" than teammate Emeka Egbuka during OTAs this past week, according to Scott Reynolds of PewterReport.com. Fantasy managers shouldn't invest too much stock into one week of practices, as it's not uncommon for different players to exceed expectations from time to time. With that being said, McMillan's improvements could be something worth monitoring going forward. McMillan is entering his third year with the Bucs, and if he continues to put together a strong summer, he'll be in the mix for a prominent fantasy football role. It's also worth noting that this report should only be viewed as an encouraging sign for McMillan, and not a slight toward Egbuka. Reynolds made it clear that Egbuka had a very strong week, too. All in all, it sounds like the Bucs' top three receivers -- Egbuka, McMillan, and Chris Godwin Jr. -- are all trending in the right direction as they look to provide more support to quarterback Baker Mayfield in 2026. McMillan could be a steal at his current ADP of 173 (WR62).

Malik Washington News
Tuesday, June 9, 8:30 AM
Across 17 games (six starts) 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 rushed for 110 yards and a score on 17 carries, highlighting his ability to create plays when he gets his hand on the ball. Washington's path to playing time in Miami last season opened up after an early-season injury to veteran wideout Tyreek Hill, and he could be in an even better position for a significant role in 2026 following the team's offseason trade of wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos. Washington averaged a miserable 4.9 yards per target in 2025, so his fantasy viability relies on either a high-volume role or a dramatic increase in efficiency. He may not offer tremendous dynasty upside, but the clear opportunity available to Washington in Miami makes him an intriguing buy-low candidate ahead of 2026.
