What does Nate Washington have to do to get some fantasy football love!

Washington came back from his hamstring injury and instantly formed a strong connection with QB Brian Hoyer. Hoyer and Washington connected on three touchdowns in week seven and eight while piling up 201 passing yards on 13 completions. Washington has had his share of health issues and is now dealing with a hip injury (probable), but he has been pretty productive when he has been on the field.

This week, you’ll have to wait for Monday Night Football for Washington’s production since he and the Texans are taking on the undefeated Bengals tomorrow. Washington will be joined in the receiving corps by Cecil Shorts in what should be a high-volume passing attack especially if the Bengals get some points on the board early.

Even with Shorts coming back and Hopkins absorbing tons of targets on the opposite side, Washington makes my list of wide receiver sleepers since he has so much upside and is so affordable. In 55% of ESPN leagues, he can be grabbed off the waiver wire and he only costs 5,200 on FanDuel and 4,400 on DraftKings.

Next: Dez who?
