Dolphins' Malik Washington: Compiles 134 all-purpose yards in loss
Washington secured six of eight targets for 43 yards, rushed once for 18 yards, returned two kickoffs for 45 yards and ran back one punt for 28 yards in the Dolphins' 31-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
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.

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

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Sees 12 opportunities in Week 3 loss
Washington caught five of 10 targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs. He rushed two times for five yards.
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.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Does it all in loss
Washington caught four of his five targets for 43 yards, rushed once for four yards, returned a punt for seven yards and returned three kickoffs for 69 yards in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the 49ers.
Washington played 43 of the Dolphins' 59 offensive snaps as well as six special-teams snaps. The No. 1 wide receiver and returner's name appeared across the box score, and Washington appears set to continue filling a diverse role on a rebuilding Miami squad.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Solid in all-purpose role
Washington brought in three of eight targets for 53 yards, returned three kickoffs for 56 yards and ran back one punt for 17 yards in the Dolphins' 27-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Washington's turnover was the one blemish on an otherwise encouraging afternoon, as the fumble came at the two-minute warning after a 26-yard reception and snuffed 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, 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.

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

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Not playing Saturday
Washington is not playing in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Washington played in the Dolphins' preseason opener against the Commanders on Friday, Aug. 14, when he caught three passes on as many targets for 15 yards. He'll be idle for Saturday's exhibition contest, so Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell and rookie third-rounder Caleb Douglas are all in line for increased work.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Team-high catch total in preseason loss
Washington brought in all three targets for 15 yards in the Dolphins' 20-7 preseason loss to the Commanders on Friday.
The third-year pro's catch total led the Dolphins on the night, as Washington opened the game with the first-team offense and recorded his first two catches, which netted 12 yards, on Miami's first two plays from scrimmage. Washington supplied a career-best 46 receptions in 2025, and he currently heads up Miami's wide-receiver depth chart heading into the Dolphins' second preseason game on Saturday, Aug. 22 at home against the Giants.
