Dolphins' Malik Washington: Secures three of four targets
Malik Washington caught three of four targets for 10 yards during Miami's 34-10 win over the Jets on Sunday.Washington finished second on the team in targets behind only Jaylen Waddle (3-50-1 on seven targets), though Tua Tagovailoa looked the way of Darren Waller, Greg Dulcich, and Jaylen Wright three times each, and the early departure of De'Von Achane (ribs) knocked out one of the Miami Dolphins' usual top contributors in the passing game. Though Washington has established a fair floor with at least three catches in eight of his last nine appearances, he's yet to surpass 50 receiving yards this season and lacks a demonstrable ceiling heading into Miami's matchup against the Steelers on Monday Night Football in Week 15.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Four catches in win
Malik Washington caught four of five targets for 30 yards in the Miami Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.Washington's five targets were one fewer than Jaylen Waddle's six for the team lead on a day when Tua Tagovailoa dropped back to pass 27 times. Washington has operated as the Dolphins' WR2 by default since Tyreek Hill suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4, but Washington has shown a low ceiling, as he's failed to reach 50 receiving yards in any of his 12 appearances this season. He carries minimal fantasy appeal headed into a Week 14 date with the Jets.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Productive as receiver in OT win
Malik Washington secured all three targets for 42 yards, returned one kickoff for 21 yards and ran back one punt for three yards in the Miami Dolphins' 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.Washington delivered his second-highest receiving yardage total of the season in the overseas victory, finishing tied for second in catches with Jaylen Waddle and third in yards.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Touchdown reception in upset win
Malik Washington brought in two of three targets for nine yards and a touchdown, rushed once for four yards, returned one kickoff for 24 yards and ran back one punt for 13 yards in the Miami Dolphins' 30-13 win over the Bills on Sunday.Washington filled his usual jack-of-all-trades role and managed to make an impact as a receiver with a nine-yard touchdown reception to open the scoring. The versatile second-year pro has scored both of his TDs in the last three games, and he now has multiple receptions in eight straight contests but has yet to top 48 receiving yards in any outing this season. Washington will remain in his versatile role during a Week 11 matchup against the Commanders in Madrid next Sunday.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Commits key turnover in loss
Malik Washington brought in all three targets for 48 yards, rushed three times for 13 yards, returned two punts for 38 yards and lost a fumble in the Miami Dolphins' 28-6 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.Washington once again played a solid complementary role in the Dolphins' Tyreek Hill-less air attack, while also continuing to moonlight as an occasional rusher and primary punt returner. It was in the former capacity that Washington committed a key turnover Thursday, as he fumbled on the Ravens' 11-yard line early in the fourth quarter on his third and final carry of the night. The second-year wideout has between three and five catches in five consecutive games, and he should continue to handle multiple roles in a Week 10 home divisional clash against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Scores in upset win over Falcons
Malik Washington secured four of five targets for 36 yards and one touchdown during Miami's 34-10 win over Atlanta on Sunday.Washington finished second on the team in receiving yardage behind Jaylen Waddle (5-99-1 on six targets), though running back De'Von Achane (5-24-1) also had seven targets. The placement of Darren Waller (hamstring) on IR paved the way for Washington, rather than tight ends Tanner Conner or Greg Dulcich, to handle an expanded role in the passing game. With Tyreek Hill (knee - ACL) already out for the year, Washington figures to remain one of Tua Tagovailoa's top three targets until Waller retakes the field. That puts him on the radar as a potential fantasy starter in deeper leagues heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Ravens on Thursday Night Football.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Five catches in Week 7 loss
Malik Washington brought in five of eight targets for 30 yards, returned four kickoffs for 114 yards and ran back one punt for 11 yards in the Miami Dolphins' 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.The speedy second-year wideout led the Dolphins in receptions and targets on a very low-volume day for Miami's passing attack. Washington's catch, yardage and target totals were all season highs, but he continues to be used almost exclusively in a short-area role, capping his upside except in formats that also count return yardage.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Draws five targets again
Malik Washington secured four of five targets for 22 yards and carried the ball once for one yard during Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Chargers.Washington remains consistently involved on offense, having drawn five targets in four of his six regular-season appearances to begin the year, and he's also been involved as a ball-carrier in all but one game. That said, Washington hasn't done much with those opportunities, as he's yet to score or log a 50-yard performance on offense this season. He'll have a difficult task improving his efficiency on the road against a stingy Browns defense in Week 7. In fantasy formats that reward production on special teams, however, Washington carries sneaky upside, as he racked up 153 yards on five kickoff returns versus Los Angeles.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Minimal impact on offense in loss
Malik Washington brought in four of five targets for no gain, returned four kickoffs for 98 yards and ran back three punts for 29 yards in the Miami Dolphins' 27-24 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.In the Dolphins' first full game without Tyreek Hill (IR, knee), the expanded role on offense some predicted for Washington surfaced to an extent, albeit with minimal value since he didn't net any receiving yardage on his four grabs. Nevertheless, the second-year wideout's catch total was a season high, and his target tally equaled a high-water mark for the season as well. Washington did continue to pay solid dividends for those deploying him in formats that also count return yards, and he certainly has nowhere to go but up as a receiver in a Week 6 home matchup against the Chargers next Sunday afternoon.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Earns four touches in Week 4
Malik Washington reeled in two of three targets for 13 yards and added eight yards on two carries in Monday's 27-21 win over the Jets.Washington started and was on the field for 28 of the Miami Dolphins' 58 offensive plays (48 percent), but his snap share appears destined to rise in the upcoming weeks after star wideout Tyreek Hill sustained a season-ending knee injury during Monday's contest. Jaylen Waddle is expected to settle in as the clear No. 1 target for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sans Hill, but fellow receivers Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as well as running back De'Von Achane and tight end Darren Waller could all see their profiles in the passing game expand to varying degrees.
