Malik Washington
WR - Miami Dolphins
Availability
Malik Washington caught 4 passes for 41 yards in the Miami Dolphins’ 20-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. While Washington wasn’t a primary focus in the offense, his ability to secure key receptions helped sustain drives and added depth to the Dolphins' passing attack, complementing Tyreek Hill’s standout performance.
Fantasy Impact
Washington’s modest production reflects his current role as a secondary option in the Dolphins’ offense. While he has shown flashes of reliability, his value remains limited to deeper leagues or dynasty formats. Managers should view him as a depth piece rather than a starter, as the Dolphins lean on established playmakers during their playoff push.
Malik Washington hauled in 3-of-4 targets for 28 yards in the Dolphins' Week 16 win against the 49ers.
Fantasy Impact
Washington was relatively quiet this week, despite the absence of Jaylen Waddle. He is only worth utilizing in deeper formats for Week 17 versus the Browns.
Malik Washington led the team in receiving yards in Week 15, catching five of six targets for 52 yards in a 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans. This performance came after the Dolphins moved on from Odell Beckham Jr., opening up more opportunities for Washington in the offense.
Fantasy Impact
While Washington's Week 15 performance wasn't a breakout game, it was a positive sign for his fantasy potential moving forward. He has a chance to carve out a larger role in the Dolphins' offense, especially if Waddle misses time. Washington is worth monitoring in deeper leagues and could be a viable flex option in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers, particularly in PPR formats. His role in the offense could grow, making him an interesting player to watch down the stretch.
Malik Washington did not record a reception on one target in the Dolphins 32-26 win over the Jets.
Fantasy Impact
Washington saw his target share drop after seeing four targets in the loss to Green Bay on Thanksgiving. He will continue to operate as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Malik Washington caught two of his four targets for eight yards in the Dolphins' 30-17 loss to the Packers in Week 13.
Fantasy Impact
Washington also lost a fumble on a return attempt early in the first quarter, capping off a forgettable performance Thursday night. The wideout offers more value in formats that account for return yards but should be left out of lineups otherwise ahead of a Week 14 contest against the New York Jets.
