Who Should I Start? Malik Washington or Elic Ayomanor

Sunday, October 5, 9:30 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington could fill an expanded role during Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Carolina Panthers. Washington has the opportunity to emerge as one of Tua Tagovailoa's favorite targets downfield after deep threat Tyreek Hill (knee) was lost for the rest of the season. The 24-year-old has just eight catches for 47 yards so far this season, but he has been the No. 3 or 4 receiver in an offense that has faced plenty of struggles. Now, with Hill sidelined, Washington could be the No. 2 target alongside Jaylen Waddle. That's enough to warrant some fantasy consideration, especially in an offense that must continue throwing the football, given how often it plays from behind. That could be the case once again this week, as the Dolphins face the Panthers, who fifth-fewest fantasy points to receivers. Washington isn't startable quite yet, but savvy managers should consider stashing him on the bench for now.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has been one of the few bright spots for this offense through four games. It has been a tough beginning to the season for the Titans offense. However, Ayomanor has been decent with 12 receptions for 151 yards and two touchdowns through four games. The rookie wideout saw seven targets last week, but only hauled in two of them for 44 yards. The Titans offense is a complete mess, but Ayomanor has good upside. He should be in the conversation as a flex option for the upcoming Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
