Outlook Malik Washington

Malik Washington vs. Patriots — Slot Volume Brings Sneaky PPR Floor

Operating as Miami's top slot receiver, Washington enters Week 8 with an established role in the passing game, hauling in 26 receptions on 39 targets across six contests. The Dolphins sit at 1-5 and face New England as touchdown underdogs, pointing to a potentially negative game script where quarterback Malik Willis will need quick, reliable reads over the middle of the field.

Our weekly projection points to 4.5 receptions for 45 receiving yards and 10.9 fantasy points, providing a dependable floor in full-PPR formats. While he has yet to score a touchdown this season and the game's modest 41.5 over/under dampens his ceiling, his 62% roster rate and steady target floor position him as a serviceable Flex or streaming option.

Outlook Chris Olave

Chris Olave vs. Steelers — Trusted Lead Target in Paris Neutral-Site Matchup

Completely past his recent illness, Olave enters Sunday fully healthy and without an injury designation. He continues to operate as the undisputed lead wideout in the Saints' passing attack for quarterback Tyler Shough, pacing the team in air yards and high-leverage routes.

Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats, supported by an elite 98% start rate across fantasy leagues. Our weekly projection lands at 17.2 fantasy points, forecasting Olave for roughly six receptions on nearly nine targets and 77 receiving yards against a tough Steelers defense in Paris.
