Shows rapport with Tagovailoa Washington recorded three receptions on three targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 14-6 preseason win over the Jaguars.

Impact Washington got the chance to play three drives with Tua Tagovailoa in the absence of Tyreek Hill (oblique), and he impressed with the chance. He made all of his catches in the short area of the field, though he navigated through defenders and traffic on the field to score a 25-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. Washington had minimal production as a rookie in 2024, but he could see that improve in 2025 -- particularly if either Hill or Jaylen Waddle is forced to miss any time.

Starts preseason opener Washington secured all four of his targets during Sunday's 24-24 preseason tie against the Bears. He also rushed once for six yards.

Impact Washington kicked off Miami's preseason opener with the starting offense, though Tyreek Hill (oblique) and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) were both held out with injuries, so it was Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Dee Eskridge who joined him in three-wide sets. Interestingly, though, Washington was tremendously involved on the lone drive he played, drawing targets on four of the five routes he ran, while also taking a designed end-around for a six-yard gain. The second-year pro appears to have an early lead on Westbrook-Ikhine in competition for the No. 3 receiver role behind Hill and Waddle.

After frugal free agency approach, Dolphins have a lot of holes to fill in the NFL draft

Dolphins general manager Chris Grier took a conservative approach to free agency this year

APRIL 15, 2025 • Associated Press

Ends rookie season with four grabs Washington secured four of five targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets.

Impact Washington's rookie year got off to a quiet start, with just 10 grabs for 54 yards across his first 10 regular-season appearances, but in his last four games the sixth-rounder managed a 16-169-0 line on 20 targets. To see Washington compile some late-season momentum as a rookie is encouraging as to his future prospects, especially with the development of Tyreek Hill seemingly wanting to move on from the Dolphins. If he can string together a strong offseason, Washington could earn a key role behind Jaylen Waddle for the 2025 campaign.

JANUARY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nets 30 yards Sunday Washington finished with four receptions on five targets for 41 yards while losing 11 yards on his only carry in Sunday's 20-3 win over Cleveland.

Impact Washington squandered another starting opportunity when he lost 11 yards on his only rushing attempt to help offset a modest receiving day (4-41-0). The sixth-round rookie is not shaping up to be a strong fantasy play in Week 18, especially if injured starter Jaylen Waddle (knee) is able to recover from his current injury. Washington should only be considered a deep-league option in next Sunday's scheduled tilt against the Jets.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finishes with 28 yards Sunday Washington brought in three of four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers.

Impact Washington was expected to take on an expanded role sans starter Jaylen Waddle (knee). Unfortunately for speculative fantasy managers, the wideout finished with less yards and receptions than he did filling in for Waddle in the second half of last week's loss to the Texans. Waddle's status for Week 17 is still up in the air, but Washington would still boast the potential for those in deeper formats should the star wideout miss next Sunday's tilt against the Browns.

Set for expanded role With both Jaylen Waddle (knee) and Dee Eskridge (knee) listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Washington is likely to see an expanded role on offense, Travis Wingf...

Impact Tyreek Hill, Washington and River Cracraft are the Dolphins' lone healthy wide receivers currently on the 53-man roster. Miami does have a trio of wideouts on the practice squad, which includes Erik Ezukanma, Tarik Black and Isaiah McKenzie. After Waddle got hurt last week versus Houston, Washington stepped in and played a season-high 59 percent of the offensive snaps and led the team in receiving with a 5-52-0 line on six targets.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Breaks out in Week 15 loss Washington secured five of six targets for 52 yards during Miami's 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Impact Washington led the Dolphins in receiving yardage, though Tyreek Hill (2-36-0 on seven targets) and tight end Jonnu Smith (9-48-1 on 11 targets) were both peppered by Tua Tagovailoa with more opportunities. Still, following the Dolphins' decision to move on from Odell Beckham, it's encouraging to see Washington making the most of his No. 3 role, which earned him increased involvement after Jaylen Waddle (knee) departed in the first half Sunday. Washington's next task will be to keep up his momentum versus San Francisco in Week 16.

Miami Dolphins rookie Malik Washington makes amends for Packers muff with kick return vs. Jets "You can't let stuff like that kill your confidence," Washington said. "You can't waver after stuff like that happens. It's football."

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • PALMBEACHPOST.COM

Shines in return game Week 14 Washington failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 32-26 overtime win over the Jets.

Impact Washington wasn't able to record any offensive stats during Sunday's divisional win, but he did return three kickoffs for 95 yards, with a long of 45. The rookie sixth-round pick also took his only punt return for a gain of 10 yards. Veteran Odell Beckham was barely more effective than Washington, as he secured his only target for one yard. Washington and Beckham will figure to continue splitting No. 3 reps behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle on the road versus Houston in Week 15.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Draws four targets in loss Washington secured two of four targets for eight yards during Miami's 30-17 loss to the Packers on Thursday.

Impact Washington drew the highest target total of his career during Thursday's loss, a game that featured the Dolphins' offense attempt to come back from an early deficit. The rookie sixth-round pick hasn't yet scored or racked up 20 yards in a single game this season, but his growing involvement on offense is somewhat encouraging. He remains an unlikely candidate for notable fantasy production heading into a Week 14 home game against the Jets, though.

Tyreek Hill's message to Malik Washington is exactly what Dolphins need Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was quick to pick up teammate Malik Washington after his game-changing error.

Quiet in win over New England Washington secured one of two targets for one yard during Sunday's 34-15 win over the Patriots.

Impact Washington also gained two yards on his only carry and returned two punts for a total of 15 yards. The rookie sixth-round pick remains relegated to a depth role, but he's demonstrated versatility in recent weeks, having logged exactly one carry in each of his last four appearances. Still, as long as Washington and veteran Odell Beckham continue to split No. 3 reps behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, neither will have a path to the volume necessary for notable fantasy production. Washington's next chance to build some momentum will come on the road versus Green Bay on Thursday night.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Four touches against Raiders Washington caught all three of his targets for 11 yards and added one rush for seven yards in Sunday's 34-19 win over the Raiders.

Impact Washington's 40 percent snap share Sunday was his largest of the season, though the rookie wideout was unable to produce much on his four total touches in the contest. The Dolphins have made it a point to get the ball in his hands a few times in recent weeks, hoping for a spark in what has been an underwhelming offensive attack compared to Miami's high-powered offense in 2023. Even so, Washington lacks enough usage to make him fantasy relevant behind fellow wide receivers Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Odell Beckham. The Dolphins are set to host the Patriots in Week 12.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores first career TD Washington secured one of two targets for 17 yards during Monday's 23-15 win over the Rams. He also scored an 18-yard rushing touchdown on his only carry.

Impact The rookie sixth-round pick showcased his dynamic speed in limited opportunities Week 10, with his first career touchdown coming on an end-around in which he benefited from De'Von Achane acting as a misdirection. He also worked as the Dolphins' top punt returner, racking up 21 yards on three fielded returns. After a strong primetime performance, Washington may be able to push for more involvement versus the Raiders in Week 11.

NOVEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to one carry in Week 9 loss Washington was not targeted during Miami's 30-27 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He rushed once for nine yards.

Impact Washington played nearly double the amount of offensive snaps (35 percent) as Odell Beckham, but the veteran wideout managed to draw three more targets. A rookie sixth-round pick, Washington's only offensive touch Sunday came in the form of a nine-yard carry, and the only punt return he fielded went for minus-one yards. Washington will look to make more of an impact on the road versus the Rams on Monday Night Football.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Records two grabs vs. Colts Washington secured two of three targets for nine yards during the Dolphins' 16-10 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday.

Impact Washington worked as Miami's third wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, handling 25 offensive snaps while Odell Beckham played just 11. Beckham may still be ramping up in his return from injury, but Washington's involvement is encouraging, even if the Dolphins' offense without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been unable to find any consistent production. Tagovailoa may be a candidate to return from IR in time to play Week 8 against the Cardinals.
