Malik Washington vs. Lions — Slot Volume Beckons in a High-Scoring Spot
Operating out of the slot for Miami, Washington gave fantasy managers a brief scare after taking a hard hit to the head last game, but he remains clear on the injury report. Over his last two contests, he has been dependable, hauling in eight of his nine targets for 67 yards and a touchdown.
Facing a high-powered 5-2 Detroit team in a matchup expected to be high scoring, Miami could be forced to throw often as underdogs. We project Washington for roughly 44 receiving yards on nearly five catches and over six targets (12.2 fantasy points), making him a viable PPR flex option this week.

Outlook Tank Dell
Tank Dell at Los Angeles Chargers — Stash Candidate Ramping Up After Long Layoff
Dell made an emotional return to the field late last month after missing nearly two seasons with a severe knee injury, immediately showcasing his juice with a 43-yard reception. Houston lists him as their primary slot receiver, and with Jaylin Noel recently placed on injured reserve, Dell has a clear runway to gradually grow his target share alongside Nico Collins and Marvin Harrison Jr.
Fantasy managers should keep him on the bench for now while the team eases his workload. Our weekly projection expects Dell to post 1.3 receptions for 16.4 receiving yards (3.5 fantasy points) against a winless Chargers defense in a low-scoring game environment. He remains a high-upside bench stash, but he is started in under 1% of leagues and carries too much role volatility to deploy this week.
