MALIK WASHINGTON NEWS

Four catches in win Washington caught four of five targets for 30 yards in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Impact Washington's five targets were one fewer than Jaylen Waddle's six for the team lead on a day 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 no 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.

Impact 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. Washington also continued to fill his usual full-time returner role, and he now has at least 30 receiving yards in four of the last five games heading into Miami's Week 12 bye.

Impact 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.

Impact Washington continued to play 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.

Scores in upset win over Falcons Washington secured four of five targets for 36 yards and one touchdown during Miami's 34-10 win over Atlanta on Sunday.

Impact Washington finished second on the team in receiving 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) 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 such time as 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.

Impact 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.

Draws five targets again 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.

Impact 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 rusher in all but one game. That said, Washington has been unproductive 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 kick returns versus Los Angeles.

Impact 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.

Earns four touches in Week 4 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.

Impact Washington started and was on the field for 28 of the 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.

Involved in rotation again Week 3 Washington secured three of five targets for 12 yards and carried the ball twice for 20 yards during Thursday's 31-21 loss to Buffalo.

Impact Washington continues to operate as the clear No. 3 receiver in Miami behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, handling a versatile role that has yet to translate into significant fantasy value. His only touchdown on the season thus far came in the form of a special teams play Week 2. Outside of deeper fantasy formats, Washington will likely remain off the fantasy radar as a speculative option in weekly lineups unless one of Hill or Waddle ends up missing time. He projects to continue operating ahead of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine against the Jets in Week 4.
