Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington scored his fourth touchdown of the season last week against the Bengals, taking a nine-yard rush to the end zone in the second quarter. However, he has been in an extremely limited role the last few weeks, catching only one pass on one target in back-to-back contests. The Buccaneers have been a middle-of-the-pack matchup for receivers this season, but Washington is very high-risk since his target share is so low. Rookie QB Quinn Ewers relied heavily on Jaylen Waddle and Darren Waller in his debut, leaving Washington mostly uninvolved except for that gadget-play touchdown. Washington is the No. 62 WR in RotoBaller's Week 17 rankings, so leave him on the bench if possible this week.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington was only targeted once in the Dolphins' loss to the Bengals on Sunday, but he had a decent fantasy day since he caught that target for 23 yards and added a nine-yard touchdown play in the first half. The second-year receiver out of Virginia has only had a single target in back-to-back weeks and doesn't seem to have an especially strong connection with new starter Quinn Ewers. He has play-making upside when he gets involved, as he showed with his touchdown run, but his involvement has been very limited, leaving him as a risky fantasy option the rest of the season.
Dec 22, 2025 6:31 AM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has shown flashes of play-making ability and good upside, and he has clearly been the team's second receiver behind Jaylen Waddle. However, his production has been inconsistent overall, and he'll be working with a new QB in a tough matchup this week, so he's not a strong fantasy option in most standard formats. Washington only had one catch on one target last week and has yet to reach 50 receiving yards in any game this season. With the whole passing game stuck in neutral, the Dolphins are changing from Tua Tagovailoa to Quinn Ewers for this week's matchup, which could jump-start the offense, or the team's passing game could continue to scuffle. With so much uncertainty and a low floor, Washington is only the No. 69 WR in RotoBaller's rankings, meaning he should be on the bench or on the waiver wire in most leagues.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has flashed some play-making ability and upside this season, but he is not getting enough downfield chances to be a strong fantasy play this week against the Steelers. The Dolphins are relying on their run game, led by De'Von Achane, and their defense to win them games lately, leaving Washington without much production. He does have multiple catches in every game this season and 10 catches on 12 targets over the last three contests, but he is averaging only eight yards per catch and hasn't reached 50 yards in any game he has played this season. He has two touchdowns this season, but unless the Dolphins open the offense or Washington gets into the end zone, he'll have a hard time putting up enough fantasy points to be a good flex play in Week 15 against Pittsburgh, even though the Steelers have been a good matchup for receivers. Washington is RotoBaller's No. 62 WR in Week 15, so he's safely left on the bench or waiver wire in most formats this week.
Dec 13, 2025 6:18 PM EST
Across 13 games this season, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has recorded 40 receptions for 274 yards and two touchdowns on 56 targets. The 24-year-old has also earned some work as a rusher, logging 78 rushing yards on 13 carries. Washington has served as Miami's primary WR2 alongside Jaylen Waddle since star wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) went down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. Since that point, Washington has seen at least five targets in six out of nine games. However, he's struggled to be highly productive with his opportunities and has recorded more than 36 receiving yards in just two contests this season. Washington's lack of efficiency limits his upside. Still, Miami has continued to feed him touches, which could make Washington worth rostering in deep PPR fantasy heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Dec 9, 2025 9:32 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington is getting plenty of catches in his role as the team's second receiver, but he isn't turning those catches into big numbers, making him a high-risk play against the Jets. He has multiple catches in 10 straight games dating back to Week 3, and he has at least three catches in seven of his last eight. He hasn't hit 50 yards in any contest yet, though, and didn't find the end zone in either of his last two games. He has a decent PPR floor in the Dolphins' low-risk, dink and dunk passing game, but he doesn't have a high ceiling since he hasn't been able to break loose for any big plays. Washington is the WR52 in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he's only a desperation WR5 or flex play in the deepest of leagues.
Dec 5, 2025 8:31 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has moved into the No. 2 role in the offense, but he hasn't exactly been impressive. His best performance came when he hauled in four receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown in Week 8. Since then, Washington has only found the end zone once in four games. The 24-year-old has also been held to under 40 receiving yards in every game besides two this season. Washington does enough on the field to offer low-end flex value, but he clearly isn't going to give fantasy managers more than that right now. He's someone who can be avoided in most 12-team redraft formats. However, Washington could give deep-league fantasy managers low-end flex value against a suspect New York Jets secondary in Week 14.
Dec 2, 2025 7:30 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has hauled in multiple catches in nine straight games and has served as the team's second receiver since the injury to Tyreek Hill (knee) in Week 4. While the receptions have been consistent, his yardage has typically been very minimal. He has only averaged 21.3 receiving yards per game and hasn't gotten to 50 yards in any game this season. He did have three catches for 42 yards in his last game before the bye week and had two touchdowns in his last four games. He does have a consistent role and limited upside, but he's only the No. 47 WR this week in RotoBaller's rankings, so in most standard-sized leagues, he is best left on the bench.
Nov 28, 2025 6:42 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington hasn't been a major fantasy contributor this season, but has maintained a consistent role in the offense as a gadget piece. Washington has at least three touches in every game this season, but hasn't recorded more than six in a game. The second-year wideout has scored both of his touchdowns on the season in the past four weeks, totaling 12 catches (14 targets) for 135 yards and two touchdowns, along with four carries for 17 yards. He ranks as the WR32 in total PPR points during that time. Washington is a viable option in deeper PPR leagues thanks to his reliable floor for receptions in Miami's passing attack, and is worth adding ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Nov 25, 2025 11:08 AM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington found the end zone for the second time in the last three weeks on Sunday against the Bills, and he caught multiple passes for the eighth week in a row. He has a good matchup against the Commanders this week, but his yardage totals have been underwhelming in the Dolphins' conservative passing scheme. While Washington has 30 catches, he only has 192 yards this year, and last week, he only had nine yards on his two catches. He saved his fantasy week with a touchdown against the Bills, but this week he's the No. 52 wide receiver in RotoBaller's rankings, even against the Commanders, who give up the third-most fantasy points to receivers. The Dolphins haven't given him many chances for big plays, although his volume of targets and catches does make him a deep league option to monitor.
Nov 14, 2025 10:39 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has been a fairly consistent contributor for the offense since Tyreek Hill (knee) went down in Week 4. Washington has served as a lite version of Hill, with plenty of designed targets and jet sweeps to get the ball in his hands. The per catch efficiency has been modest for the 24-year-old, with his 6.4 yards per reception ranking third lowest out of 117 wide receivers with at least 100 routes this season, per Fantasy Points Data Suite. Washington remains among the top Miami pass catchers in routes run and has recorded multiple receptions in all but one game this season. Washington has also scored twice in the past three weeks and gets a glorious Week 11 matchup against a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the second-most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.
Nov 13, 2025 12:59 AM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington recorded just two catches for nine yards on three targets in Week 10, but he also managed to haul in his second touchdown grab in his last three games played. Washington has emerged as the clear number two wide receiver in Miami since star wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) was lost for the season with a knee injury in Week 4. In the six games since Hill went down, Washington has recorded 22 catches for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 29 targets. The 24-year-old also plays a small role in the running game, rushing for 18 yards on four attempts over the last two weeks. Washington may not have a crazy upside, but he should provide a stable target floor heading into a highly favorable Week 11 matchup against the Washington Commanders. In deep fantasy leagues, he could be a decent flex option for managers to target off the waiver wire.
Nov 10, 2025 10:59 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington is coming off a season-high 48 receiving yards last week against the Ravens, but he did lose a critical fumble in the red zone. Washington continues to be the team's second receiver as they come into their Week 10 rematch with the Bills. Washington has been more involved since the season-ending injury to Tyreek Hill (knee), but hasn't been able to get loose for any big plays. He has at least three catches in five straight games, but had been held under 40 yards in every game until last week. He has flex play potential because of his typical workload, but he hasn't turned that into consistently meaningful production. He's the No. 48 WR in RotoBaller's rankings, leaving him well outside the normal starter ranks in most formats.
Nov 7, 2025 8:25 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington recorded a season-high 48 receiving yards on three catches in his team's Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 24-year-old has struggled with efficiency so far this season, logging just 183 yards on 28 catches (6.5 yards per catch). Still, Washington has emerged as a consistent target-earner since Miami lost star wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) to a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. Washington has earned at least five targets in four out of his last five games played. His upside is limited, but Washington should continue to provide a relatively stable fantasy floor in PPR-scoring formats. Heading into a Week 10 matchup with the Buffalo Bills, Washington is worth rostering in PPR leagues with 12 or more teams.
Nov 4, 2025 9:21 PM EST
Wide receiver Malik Washington of the Miami Dolphins is a risky option, but one with some upside when his team plays host to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday. The matchup is a good one for Washington, who will see a Ravens defense that ranks 27th against fantasy receivers and has struggled to defend the pass. The diminutive receiver has seen at least five targets in six of Miami's eight games, but averages a lowly 3.5 yards per target due to a high percentage of work near the line of scrimmage. Receiver Jaylen Waddle and running back De'Von Achane are huge parts of the Miami passing game, leaving Washington as the third option, but he did catch his first touchdown of the season last week. He's a WR5 option, but has some streaming and deep-league appeal in a game that could be high scoring.
Oct 30, 2025 10:01 AM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington had arguably his best game of the season in Week 8, recording four catches for 36 yards and a touchdown on five targets in his team's win over the Atlanta Falcons. The 24-year-old has now hauled in 25 catches for 135 yards and a score on 38 targets across eight games so far in 2025. Washington emerged as a consistent target-earner in Miami over the last month. In four games since star Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) went down for the season in Week 4 due to a knee injury, Washington has seen 23 targets. However, Washington is currently averaging a miserable 5.4 yards per reception, which limits his fantasy upside. Still, in deep PPR-scoring leagues, Washington should be rostered for his relatively safe target floor.
Oct 27, 2025 10:08 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington caught four of his five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 8 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Washington capitalized on another opportunity to handle an increased workload with Tyreek Hill (knee) and Darren Waller (hamstring) both sidelined. The 24-year-old receiver now has at least four catches in each of his last four games, ranking as the overall WR36 in PPR leagues during that span. His fantasy stock is heavily dependent on the play of Tua Tagovailoa. For now, Washington should be viewed as nothing more than a low-end WR3/flex ahead of Miami's Week 9 clash with Baltimore.
Oct 26, 2025 9:00 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington had his best game of the season last week, setting new high marks for catches, targets, and receiving yards. However, he still only had five catches, for 30 yards on eight targets. Washington has at least four catches in each of his three games since the season-ending injury to Tyreek Hill (knee) but he has not been able to turn them into much production. He has a tough matchup against the Falcons in Week 8, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points in the NFL to wide receivers. The Dolphins' passing game has looked pretty awful with Tua Tagavailoa all season, so this matchup seems an unlikely spot for it to get on track. Still, the chances are there for Washington because he's getting the catches, so there he does bring a little bit of upside. In RotoBaller's Week 8 rankings, he is the WR56, meaning he should not be started in almost any formats this week.
Oct 25, 2025 6:46 AM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has been one of the least efficient pass-catchers in the NFL so far this season, recording 21 catches on 33 targets for just 99 yards. Still, Washington saw a season-high eight targets in Week 7 and has earned at least five targets in all three games since the Dolphins lost wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) to a season-ending knee injury. With tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) considered week-to-week with a pectoral strain, there's a chance that Washington is Miami's number three option in the passing game behind wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and running back De'Von Achane in Week 8 against the Atlanta Falcons. Washington also brings some potential for fantasy production as a rusher, as he's logged nine carries for 61 yards this season. It will be tough for fantasy managers to trust Washington as a starter until he shows some ability to be efficient with his touches. Still, he may be worth rostering in deep leagues given his recent uptick in usage and the opportunity for targets that exists in Miami.
Oct 22, 2025 11:59 AM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has stepped up as the team's second receiver since the season-ending injury to Tyreek Hill (knee). He hasn't been able to produce much yardage, though, coming into this week's matchup with the Browns. Washington has had four catches in each of the last two weeks, but hasn't had a play go for even 10 yards yet. He had four catches for no yards in Week 5, followed by four catches for 22 receiving yards last week against the Chargers. The increase in targets and catches is a good sign, but he hasn't been able to break out for any big gains. The Dolphins offense isn't vertical enough to make him a regular starting option at receiver right now, despite some big-play potential. He comes into this week ranked as RotoBaller's WR64 well off the radar in most formats.
