Malik Washington Projected as the Dolphins No. 1 Receiver, Potential Redraft Breakout in 2026

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.

KC Concepcion Stacking Plays for Browns

Sunday, August 2, 6:37 AM

Cleveland Browns first-round rookie receiver KC Concepcion has made plays throughout the early days of training camp while working as part of a heavy rotation, and Saturday was no exception. With the team working on short-yardage scenarios, Concepcion caught a goal-line touchdown from Shedeur Sanders during 7-on-7 work. Concepcion has largely been used as the top option out of the slot in three-receiver sets, but he has the size and versatility to be moved across the formation. At RotoBaller's WR49, he can often be found behind a deep tier of receivers in the later rounds of 2026 drafts, but should he eventually work himself into something close to a Zay Flowers role in Todd Monken's offense, Concepcion could greatly outperform his draft cost and become a weekly fantasy starter by year's end.
