He caught five passes for 40 yards and a touchdown this past week... The Lions are playing as much man coverage as anyone in football... Washington, meanwhile, is sporting a 28% TPRR against man coverage this season... His 17.3% crossing routes and 3.7% flare routes (highest among WRs) make it difficult to stay with him in man coverage.

Positive signalMatchup

Washington's route tree and backfield usage exploit Lions' man coverage; expect 7-10 targets.

Washington remains underrated in fantasy and caught five passes for 40 yards and a touchdown in Week 8, providing a solid weekly floor in PPR formats. Against Detroit's man coverage scheme in Week 9, Washington should see seven to 10 targets as the Dolphins likely need to keep pace with Detroit's offense. Washington sports a 28% TPRR against man coverage this season, and his route tree (17.3% crossing routes, 3.7% flare routes—highest among WRs) makes him difficult to defend in man coverage. He also lines up out of the backfield frequently, adding versatility against man schemes.
