Who Should I Start? Tim Patrick or Malik Washington

Wednesday, August 27, 8:07 AM

The Jacksonville Jaguars have acquired veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick from the Detroit Lions in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The 31-year-old recorded 33 catches for 394 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games with Detroit last year. The Lions' decision to move on from Patrick signals an internal belief in third-round rookie Isaac TeSlaa, who was a standout performer in the preseason. In Jacksonville, Patrick will likely step into the team's WR3 role next to Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington is coming off a season-high 48 receiving yards last week against the Ravens, but he did lose a critical fumble in the red zone. Washington continues to be the team's second receiver as they come into their Week 10 rematch with the Bills. Washington has been more involved since the season-ending injury to Tyreek Hill (knee), but hasn't been able to get loose for any big plays. He has at least three catches in five straight games, but had been held under 40 yards in every game until last week. He has flex play potential because of his typical workload, but he hasn't turned that into consistently meaningful production. He's the No. 48 WR in RotoBaller's rankings, leaving him well outside the normal starter ranks in most formats.
