STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Washington's 7 targets/game and 27% share make him reliable floor play vs. Bengals.

Averaging 7 targets per game with expanding role; 27% target share; cleared 40 yards in every game so far; at least 53 yards in 3 of 4 games; positioned as floor play in deeper leagues, especially with favorable matchup against Cincinnati; benefits from A-Chan's absence with targets flooding to him.
