With Anthony Davis out of the lineup, Washington shouldered a larger offensive load, matching rookie Cooper Flagg with 13 shot attempts. While that volume might not be sustainable every night, the increased usage combined with his defensive upside raises his ceiling significantly. Fantasy managers should look to add Washington immediately, especially with the Mavericks heading into a busy four-game slate for Week 11.
