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.

Jordyn Tyson vs CLE — Rookie wideout closing in on regular-season debut
Tyson remains out this week as he continues his recovery from a severe preseason hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve. While he hasn't made his NFL debut yet, New Orleans is evaluating whether to open his practice window this week, with optimism that the first-round pick could return to game action as early as next week.
Our weekly projection expects zero fantasy points this week, so fantasy managers must keep him benched or in an IR slot. Nevertheless, he is rostered in 66% of leagues as an appealing stash who is listed atop the depth chart opposite Chris Olave. Check back often for the latest news and practice updates on his timeline.
