Who Should I Start? Malik Washington or Arian Smith

Friday, October 10, 9:01 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington had his busiest game of the season in Week 5 against the Panthers. He played about his normal amount of snaps but set a season-high with four catches on his five targets. He ended up with no yards on those four catches, but he did seem to get a little more work with Tyreek Hill (knee) unavailable for the first time this year. Washington has shown big-play ability in the return game, but he hasn't been able to get loose for any big receptions. He'll have a tough matchup this week against the Chargers, which is why he's only the WR57 in RotoBaller's rankings, but he does bring boom-or-bust potential if you need a deep league or DFS flier at receiver

New York Jets wide receiver Arian Smith should see the field more in Week 6 when his team takes on the Denver Broncos at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The rookie has amassed just five targets and four catches through five games in 2025. However, with the news that teammate Allen Lazard (personal) will be ruled out this Sunday, Smith should get a bit of extra run behind fellow wideouts Josh Reynolds and Garrett Wilson. The path to fantasy relevance is narrow, particularly with tight end Mason Taylor carving out a significant target share from quarterback Justin Fields. Still, New York may be forced to air it out a bit more with Denver's defense allowing the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game to opposing ground attacks (88.4). Smith isn't an option in season-long lineup leagues, but he's worth monitoring for dynasty purposes. The former Georgia Bulldog is RotoBaller's PPR WR116 for his matchup with the Broncos.
