Ja'Kobi Lane vs. Bengals — Expanding Role in a High-Scoring Matchup
After returning from a fractured wrist that landed him on injured reserve, rookie Ja'Kobi Lane stepped right into Baltimore's starting lineup in Week 6, hauling in four of five targets for 40 yards. He is established as an outside receiver alongside Zay Flowers, though quarterback Lamar Jackson's questionable status due to an ankle injury is an important situation to monitor.
Our models project Lane for roughly two receptions and 28 receiving yards against Cincinnati in an environment with plenty of shootout potential. While his 29% roster rate reflects growing excitement, his modest target volume keeps him primarily as a bench stash or deep-league gamble rather than a reliable starting option.

Darnell Washington vs. Saints — Expanding Red-Zone Role Creates Deep Streaming Value
Listed behind Pat Freiermuth on the depth chart, Washington has carved out a distinct red-zone role in Pittsburgh's offense. With wideouts Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson sidelined by injuries, the tight end has capitalized on extra opportunities, hauling in six catches and two touchdowns over his past three games.
Our weekly projections forecast Washington for roughly 2.5 receptions and 27 receiving yards against New Orleans. While his modest 9% rostered rate reflects a volatile floor, his consistent end-zone involvement makes him a viable touchdown-dependent streamer in deeper leagues.
