Fantasy managers weigh options for Makai Lemon and Malik Washington
Summary

In Week 4, fantasy managers must choose between Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon and Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington. With both teams' top receivers out, both players are expected to see increased usage. Lemon, in his rookie season, has posted modest numbers with seven receptions for 38 yards. He is facing a strong Rams pass defense that has limited opposing receivers. In contrast, Washington had a notable performance in Week 3 with five receptions for 56 yards and is positioned for more opportunities against the Vikings, who have allowed significant yardage. Analysts recommend starting Washington over Lemon based on recent performances and matchup difficulties.
