New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is a deep-league lottery ticket who will finally get an opportunity to prove his worth in Week 5 against the Saints. With Malik Nabers out for the year, the third-year speedster will assume the WR3 role, and his familiarity with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart from second-team reps could lead to immediate targets. Despite having zero fantasy points this season, Hyatt's world-class speed makes him an intriguing desperation play against a vulnerable New Orleans secondary. The Saints have been susceptible to big plays, allowing the second-most passing touchdowns in the NFL (9), creating a scenario where Hyatt could finally break loose for a long score.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Casey Washington (concussion) did not pass the league's concussion protocol and will be inactive on Sunday against the Vikings. The 24-year-old had his best game in the NFL last week, hauling in three of his six targets for 33 yards, but suffered a concussion during the fourth quarter of the contest. The University of Illinois product's six targets were fourth-most on the team and more than veteran Ray-Ray McCloud III's five targets, potentially signaling a changing of the guard for the third wide receiver spot in the Atlanta offense, but it was likely more a product of Darnell Mooney's absence in Week 1 than anything else. With Mooney expected to play in Week 2 but with Washington out, we'll have to see how things shake out in Week 3 in order to get a better feel for Washington's role in this offense. For now, Washington can be left to the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.
