Malik Washington News
Friday, July 24, 6:05 AM
The Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington, who is 25 years old, is currently slated as the team's No. 1 wide receiver on the depth chart after the Dolphins traded away Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos during the offseason. Washington, who is now entering his third NFL season, was a sixth-round pick in the 2024 draft and does not profile as an alpha wide receiver on a team; however, he finds himself in a unique situation where he's at the top of the depth chart and in line to likely outperform his ADP because of it. The Dolphins brought in Malik Willis to be under center, and he showed some upside in his relief duty for Jordan Love over in Green Bay with the Packers. RotoBaller ranks Washington as the WR82 in the rankings, and fantasy managers in redraft formats searching for a late-round gem could just find it in Washington should he get a projected No. 1 wide receiver volume.

Jalen Coker News
Wednesday, July 22, 9:49 AM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker had his 2025 campaign disrupted by a preseason quad injury, which forced him to miss Carolina's first six games. Coker finished the year with modest numbers, recording 33 catches for 394 yards and three touchdowns on 43 targets across 11 contests. Still, the Panthers reaffirmed their commitment to the 24-year-old over the offseason, signing him to a three-year, $35 million contract extension. Entering 2026, Coker profiles as the clear WR2 in Carolina alongside Tetairoa McMillan. He's also riding a strong finish to the 2025 season, as he recorded 28 catches for 378 yards and four scores on 36 targets over his final six games played, including the postseason. Coker may not have true superstar upside, but he's a sleeper to target at his current redraft ADP of WR63.
