Mike Washington vs. Dolphins — Buzzworthy Rookie Stash with Contingent Upside
After a dominant preseason where he led all rookies with 168 rushing yards and generated heavy praise from the coaching staff, Washington has solidified his role as the primary backup in Las Vegas. With lead back Ashton Jeanty currently questionable due to an ankle injury, the fourth-round rookie is positioned for immediate rotational work in the season opener against Miami.
Fantasy managers have taken notice, pushing his roster rate up to 64%, though his 1% start rate confirms he remains an upside bench stash for now. Our weekly projection slots him for roughly 5.7 carries, 24 rushing yards, and 5.3 fantasy points in a favorable home environment. Leave him on your bench for Week 1, but hold tight given his explosive ability and contingent value if the backfield opens up.

Isaiah Likely vs. Cowboys: Primed for Targets in Giants Debut
Entering his first season with New York, Likely is established as the lead tight end and built noticeable chemistry with quarterback Jaxson Dart throughout training camp. With top wideout Malik Nabers currently questionable due to a knee issue and backup tight end Theo Johnson also nursing a shoulder injury, Likely should serve as a dependable safety valve over the middle of the field.
Rostered in 94% of leagues with a climbing 42% start rate, Likely is pushing for immediate weekly trust. Our projections slate him for roughly 3.7 catches, 41 receiving yards, and 9.5 fantasy points in a matchup against Dallas. With game totals hinting at a favorable 48-point scoring environment, fantasy managers can confidently deploy him as a viable streaming starter or high-floor TE1.
