Malik Washington - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Two receptions in loss Washington caught two of three targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Lions.

Impact Washington was held in check by Detroit's suspect secondary, failing to reel in at least three passes for the first time this season while his 21 receiving yards were also a season low. The wide receiver has yet to exceed 70 receiving yards in a game this year, and he has only reached the end zone once. Washington will have an opportunity to get back on track against the sputtering Colts in Week 10.

Snags short TD in loss to Pats Washington caught five of six targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 loss to New England.

Impact The five grabs led the team on the afternoon, and Washington capped his performance with a one-yard TD from Malik Willis just before halftime. It was Washington's first score of the season in seven games, and he'll take a 31-329-1 line on 45 targets into a Week 9 meeting with the Lions.

Good to go for Week 8 Washington (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Washington practiced fully Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. The Dolphins' WR1 in terms of playing time and targets, Washington still hasn't found the end zone this season, producing 26 catches for 289 yards on 39 targets. He's a low-ceiling WR4 in fantasy.

Practices in limited fashion Washington (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact With Washington having now logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, the wideout will look to get back to full participation Friday to clear up any concern about his status heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots. Though he leads the Dolphins in both receptions (26) and receiving yards (289), Washington is coming off a Week 7 outing against the Jets in which he drew a season-low three targets while Miami welcomed back promising rookie wideout Caleb Douglas (2-70-2 receiving line on three targets) from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury.

Limited to begin week Washington was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Washington is managing an injury as the Dolphins prepare for a matchup Sunday versus the Patriots, but his ability to practice in some fashion to begin Week 8 is at least a good sign. His availability is key for the Dolphins, as he's one of the most relied-upon pass catchers in the league with a 26.2 percent target share through six games.

Totals 35 yards in win Washington caught all three targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets. He rushed two times for eight yards.

Impact Greg Dulcich ended up leading the Dolphins in targets (five), catches (five) and yards (86) on a day Malik Willis attempted just 21 passes and spread the ball around to eight different pass catchers. Washington will look to bounce back next Sunday against the Patriots, where he'll have some WR4 appeal in fantasy.

Impact Washington led the Dolphins across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, although the middle total was relatively modest on an afternoon in which Malik Willis threw for just 137 yards. Washington's catch total was also a new season high, and he's now upped his reception tally over that of the previous week in four consecutive contests. Washington will remain a relevant asset in deeper PPR formats and as a DFS dart throw in a Week 7 road matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

Five receptions in Minnesota Washington caught all five of his targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Vikings.

Impact The third-year wideout led the Dolphins in catches, yards and targets, but he didn't have much competition as Malik Willis attempted only 17 passes in total. Washington is still looking for his first TD of 2026, but he's become Willis' top downfield option, posting a 17-219-0 line on 28 targets through four games. Washington will try to build on this effort in a Week 5 home clash with the Bengals.

Impact Washington became the focal point of the offense following De'Von Achane's season-ending torn ACL in the first half. Moving forward, Washington needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats after seeing a combined 12 opportunities against Kansas City. On the season, he's recorded 12 catches for 152 yards on 23 targets. He's also handed three rushing attempts for nine yards.

Impact Washington played 43 of the Dolphins' 59 offensive snaps as well as six special-teams snaps.

Impact Washington's turnover was the one blemish on an otherwise encouraging afternoon, coming at the two-minute warning after a 26-yard reception and snuffing out any last-gasp chance at a comeback for Miami. Washington also finished as the team leader in targets and second in receiving yards for the Dolphins on the afternoon, and he matched Caleb Douglas for a team-high 30-yard catch. The 2024 sixth-round pick also put in solid work as a returner, and he should remain heavily involved on both offense and special teams in a Week 2 road matchup against the 49ers.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

First-team billing on depth chart Washington is listed as a starting wide receiver on the Dolphins' unofficial depth chart.

Impact Miami almost entirely retooled its receiving corps this offseason, releasing Tyreek Hill in February, trading Jaylen Waddle to the Broncos in March, signing Jalen Tolbert in free agency and then drafting three WRs (Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman) in the 2026 Draft. Washington is the only holdover from 2025, a season in which he hauled in 46 of 65 targets for 317 yards and three touchdowns while also rushing 17 times for 110 yards and one more TD. In addition to an expected increase in snaps while working with new QB Malik Willis, Washington again will serve as the team's primary kick returner and perhaps on punt returns as well.
