Expert Note
View More NotesMalik Washington has been a volume-filled flex this season as the WR40 in fantasy points per game. Last week, Washington finally got into the end zone and finished as the WR14 for the week. Washington has a 24.6% target share with 1.81 YPRR, three red zone targets, nine deep targets, and a 27.1% first-read share. This week, he'll face a Lions' secondary that has the eighth-highest single-high rate (57.3%). Against single-high, Washington leads the team with a 23% TPRR and 2.03 YPRR. Washington is a volume-based flex again this week, but the matchup isn't ideal. Over their last five games, Detroit has allowed the fifth-most receiving fantasy points per game to slot receivers while holding them to the 11th-fewest fantasy points per opportunity.

Fantasy Impact
Washington had a score in the second quarter to put the Dolphins up by 10, led the team in receptions, and tied for the lead in targets. He's developed into a usable PPR asset this season and should have some utility next week against the Lions' secondary.
