Who Should I Start? Malik Washington or Jordan Whittington

Sunday, January 4, 5:39 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington (thumb) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 18 contest against the New England Patriots. He appeared to suffer the injury on a punt return and is officially listed as questionable. At the time of his departure, he had caught one pass for a two-yard touchdown, and he also had two punt return yards. Washington entered this week as Miami's No. 1 receiver with Jaylen Waddle (ribs) inactive, Tyreek Hill (knee) on injured reserve, and Darren Waller (groin) on injured reserve. Now, with Washington sidelined, Miami will turn to Cedrick Wilson Jr. and Theo Wease Jr. as its top wide receivers.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (knee) practiced in full all week and has been removed from the final injury report on Friday, per ESPN's Sarah Barshop. Whittington will be active for the NFC Divisional Round on Sunday against the Chicago Bears after missing the Wild-Card win over the Carolina Panthers due to a knee injury he suffered in the Week 18 regular-season finale versus the Arizona Cardinals. The 25-year-old pass-catcher is well off the fantasy radar despite recovering from his knee injury. It's hard to trust any Rams receiver beyond Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, and all of L.A.'s wideouts will be more risky this weekend with a blizzard expected in Chicago on Sunday. Whittington only caught 18 of his 25 targets during the regular season for 171 yards, and he wasn't able to find the end zone at all.
