Who Should I Start? Jalin Hyatt or Malik Washington

Sunday, December 21, 11:59 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. The former third-round pick continues to be an afterthought in the Giants' offense, and this week, it will cost him his spot on the gameday roster. Hyatt played only 6% of the offensive snaps in Week 15, and he has caught just five of his 14 targets for 35 yards this season. His absence is likely a direct result of Gunner Olszewski (concussion) returning from his one-week absence. The 24-year-old can be left on waivers in fantasy football.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington scored his fourth touchdown of the season last week against the Bengals, taking a nine-yard rush to the end zone in the second quarter. However, he has been in an extremely limited role the last few weeks, catching only one pass on one target in back-to-back contests. The Buccaneers have been a middle-of-the-pack matchup for receivers this season, but Washington is very high-risk since his target share is so low. Rookie QB Quinn Ewers relied heavily on Jaylen Waddle and Darren Waller in his debut, leaving Washington mostly uninvolved except for that gadget-play touchdown. Washington is the No. 62 WR in RotoBaller's Week 17 rankings, so leave him on the bench if possible this week.
