Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Malik Washington

Saturday, October 4, 1:23 PM

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields will line up for a favorable matchup this Sunday when his team takes on the visiting Dallas Cowboys. New York fell to 0-4 on Monday night in their loss to the Dolphins, but Fields rebounded in his return from a concussion. The 26-year-old was again interception-free and scored his third rushing touchdown of the season en route to a top-five fantasy finish at his position. He'll get another chance to reward fantasy managers who stuck with him in Week 5 against a porous Dallas defense. In addition to the Cowboys being beatable on the ground, they've allowed the most passing yards per game to opposing offenses (297.3) and the most fantasy points per outing to quarterbacks. Fields isn't surrounded by an impressive cast of skill players, but his work in the ground game will continue to boost his fantasy output. He's RotoBaller's QB5 for his meeting with the Cowboys.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington is in a prime position for a breakout in the coming weeks since he'll likely be taking on a larger workload after the season-ending injury to Tyreek Hill (knee). The second-year receiver has already played 55% of snaps this season and has eight catches on 15 targets for 47 yards. He also has 60 rushing yards on eight carries and returned a punt for a touchdown. The dynamic receiver brings big-play potential on every touch, and more touches will raise his ceiling and his floor, even in the Dolphins' conservative offense. With more work coming his way, he has the potential to be a strong flex consideration at times for the rest of the season. However, this week, he's in an unfavorable matchup against the Panthers, who are very vulnerable to the run, which could limit his chances. He's only the WR46 this week in RotoBaller's rankings, but he has the potential to rise in better matchups with more opportunities moving forward. He's a strong stash candidate if he's available on waivers.
