Malik Washington News
Tuesday, September 22, 7:22 AM
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has put together two useful games without giving fantasy managers a huge box score to chase. He followed three catches for 53 yards in Week 1 with four for 43 against San Francisco, and he added a four-yard carry. Washington has 13 targets through two games, which matters on an offense that has thrown only 50 passes. The bigger question now is Caleb Douglas (ankle). Head coach Jeff Hafley said Monday that it was too early to know whether Douglas could miss Week 3, and any absence would leave more work available in a thin receiver room. Washington still comes with risk because Miami's passing volume has been low, but the role has been steady enough to take seriously. He is worth adding in 12-team PPR leagues and makes more sense as a longer-term bench hold than a one-week streamer, especially while Douglas' status remains unsettled.

Malachi Fields News
Tuesday, September 22, 5:56 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Malachi Fields has some sleeper potential coming into a very favorable part of the schedule for the Giants. In Week 2, Fields finished third on the team in receptions and second in targets while hauling in two of his six targets for 30 yards. While Jaxson Dart (knee) could miss time, Jameis Winston takes enough deep shots to still make Fields worth considering coming into matchups against the Titans, Cardinals, and Commanders over the next three weeks. Those teams all rank in the top 10 in most fantasy points allowed to receivers, and if the rookie from Notre Dame keeps getting so many targets, he should remain usable in deep leagues. Malik Nabers (shoulder) dealt with an injury in Week 2 against the Rams, and if he misses any time going forward, Fields would be an even stronger play. If you can add him to your receiver depth, it could be a move that pays off, especially over the next few weeks.
