Malik Washington News
Tuesday, October 20, 6:50 AM
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington remains an intriguing waiver wire option coming out of the team's Week 6 bye. Washington has caught at least five passes in three consecutive games, including six receptions for 43 yards against Cincinnati in Week 5. The 25-year-old has totaled 23 catches for 262 yards through five games, establishing himself as a reliable target for quarterback Malik Willis. Washington is listed at just 41% rostered in RotoBaller's Week 7 waiver rankings. The potential return of Caleb Douglas (ankle) creates some uncertainty, but Washington offers useful fantasy depth ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Jets.

Malachi Fields News
Friday, October 23, 6:37 PM
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields hauled in just two of eight targets for 19 yards in the 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. While Fields has struggled to produce in recent weeks, he has fully taken over the WR2 role after playing a season-high 94% of snaps in Week 6. He'll continue to operate behind top targets Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely, but with his high snap count, it's only a matter of time before Fields has his breakout game. It could come in Week 7 against a Houston Texans defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While their elite pass rush could pose problems for new starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy, Fields is positioned for a big game in Week 7 and could be a waiver-wire target next week.
