Who Should I Start? Kayshon Boutte or Malik Washington

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte returned from a two-week absence and played 80% of the team's snaps in Week 12 against the Bengals. He only had two catches on two targets for 15 yards, but he seems to be over his injury and ready to resume his role as the team's deep threat. Hunter Henry went off on Sunday on underneath routes, but Boutte is still involved enough on the outside to be a nice addition on waiver wires, if he's available in standard-sized leagues. QB Drake Maye has been doing a good job spreading the ball around, which makes Boutte a boom-or-bust play with upside. He has totaled 25 catches for 446 yards and five touchdowns in his 10 games this season and has a favorable matchup this week against the Giants on Monday before a Week 14 bye week.

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.
