Marquez Valdes-Scantling News
Tuesday, December 30, 6:11 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling figures to be heavily targeted again in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday night against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, with DK Metcalf suspended one more game. In Sunday's upset loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, Valdes-Scantling drew a season-high nine targets, hauling in three of them for a mediocre 21 receiving yards. The 31-year-old veteran pass-catcher has only five catches on 14 targets for 46 yards and one touchdown in his four games since joining Pittsburgh. MVS hasn't really been on the same page as quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and his target share could be affected if Calvin Austin III (hamstring) returns in a must-win Week 18 contest that will decide the winner of the AFC North. At best, Valdes-Scantling will be a deep-league dart throw as a WR5/flex versus Baltimore this weekend.

Malik Washington News
Friday, April 10, 5:45 PM
Across 17 games in 2025, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington recorded 46 receptions for 317 yards and three touchdowns on 65 targets. The 25-year-old also played a role as a rusher, collecting 110 yards and a touchdown on 17 attempts. While Washington's average of 6.9 yards per reception doesn't exactly jump off the page, there may still be reason to believe in him as a breakout candidate in 2026. Miami's pass-catching corps underwent a major overhaul over the offseason, as Jaylen Waddle was traded to the Denver Broncos and Tyreek Hill (knee) is currently a free agent. The Dolphins brought in wide receivers Tutu Atwell and Jalen Tolbert as replacements, but neither profiles as a high-volume target-earner. If Washington can develop early chemistry with new Miami quarterback Malik Willis, he has a chance to emerge as a leader in the team's wide receiver room. In dynasty formats, Washington could be a prime buy-low candidate.
