Xavier Hutchinson News
Saturday, October 17, 2:54 AM
Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson has at least three catches in every game for the Texans this season and had four catches for a season-high 65 yards last week against the Titans. This week against the Jaguars, though, his role could be smaller due to the arrival of Marvin Harrison Jr. in a trade from the Cardinals. Harrison will make his debut, but he'll likely only have a limited package of plays as he ramps up with his new squad. Hutchinson had already seen his snap share dip under 50% in his last two games, and now his playing time will be squeezed even more. He is RotoBaller's No. 69 WR this week in his international matchup with the Jaguars in London, leaving him on the bench or the waiver wire in most standard-sized leagues this week. He could remain involved, but his shrinking role makes him a high-risk start.

Malik Washington News
Tuesday, November 3, 8:13 AM
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington caught five of his six targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Patriots, and he has now reached 40 receiving yards in six of seven contests in 2026. While Sunday's score marked his first of the season, he has consistently provided a usable fantasy floor, topping 8.5 half-PPR points in four of his last five games. He has also been the Dolphins' most targeted wide receiver in six of seven games, and with a favorable Week 9 matchup against the Detroit Lions, Washington makes for a low-cost plug-and-play waiver add as RotoBaller's WR26.
