Dolphins, Browns look to get back on track when they meet on Sunday

The Miami Dolphins visit the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in a matchup of 1-5 teams desperately looking for a win
OCTOBER 16, 2025 • Associated Press
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 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.

Minimal impact on offense in loss 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 Dolphins' 27-24 loss to the Panthers on Sun...
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 no where 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.

Cleared for Thursday Night Football Washington (thumb) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's matchup against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Washington has had his practice reps limited due to a thumb injury apparently sustained during Miami's loss to the Patriots in Week 2, but he's listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated report and is ready to rock for Thursday Night Football. The No. 3 receiver secured one of two targets for two yards and carried the ball three times for 23 yards versus New England, while also racking up 122 yards and a touchdown in the return game.
SEPTEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Limited practice Tuesday Washington (thumb) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Washington popped up on the injury report Monday with a thumb issue after catching one of two targets for two yards in the team's 33-27 loss to the Patriots in Week 2. Head coach Mike McDaniel is optimistic that the wide receiver will be able to play Thursday in Buffalo, per David Furones. Washington will have one more practice session Wednesday to prove his health ahead of Thursday Night Football.

Estimated as limited in practice Washington (thumb) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Washington was third among Miami's wideouts with 35 (of a possible 57) snaps on offense during Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Patriots en route to catching one of his two targets for two yards and carrying three times for 23 yards. As long as Tyreek Hill (seven targets) and Jaylen Waddle (six targets) are healthy, however, both Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will remain speculative fantasy lineup options ahead of Thursday's game against the Bills.

Showcases versatility in loss Washington secured one of two targets for two yards during Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Patriots. He also gained 23 rushing yards on three carries and added 122 yards and a touchdown...
Impact Washington made his biggest impact on special teams in Week 2, returning two kickoffs for 48 yards and scoring a 74-yard touchdown on his only punt return. The second-year wideout once again operated as the No. 3 receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, playing 65 percent of the offensive snaps compared to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine's 28 percent, on which he produced two catches for 18 yards on three targets. Washington's versatility and playmaking ability remain encouraging, but as long as both Hill and Waddle are healthy, it'll be difficult to project the 2024 sixth-round pick for a consistent fantasy contribution heading into Thursday night's matchup against the Bills, outside of formats that value the return game.

Impact Washington made his biggest impact on special teams Week 2, returning two kickoffs for 48 yards and scoring a 74-yard touchdown on his only punt return. The second-year pro once again operated as the No. 3 receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, playing 65 percent of offensive snaps compared to the 28 percent of offensive snaps allotted to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (two catches for 18 yards on three targets). Washington's versatility and playmaking ability remain encouraging, but as long as both Hill and Waddle are above him on the depth chart, it'll be difficult to project the 2024 sixth-round pick for consistent fantasy value. In all but the deepest of formats, he remains off the fantasy radar heading into Thursday night's matchup against the Bills.
