Washington is envisioned as a late-round handcuff with speculative upside if Hill misses time. In shallow formats he remains a back-of-roster gambit, but in deeper leagues he could emerge for a few games as the Dolphins stretch targets beyond Hill and Waddle.

Washington is a speed-focused option who could emerge as an insurance plug if Hill sits. His explosiveness and late-round value make him an intriguing sleeper in deeper leagues, especially if the Dolphins lean on more than the top two receivers in Hill and Waddle.

Malik Washington drew Tua’s first four targets and emerged as a reliable intermediary with a blend of quick routes and run-game involvement. He’s the poster child for Miami’s mid-range depth options and should be in the roster conversation.

Washington flashed as a viable mid-range option, showing reliable target potential on a big 4th-down completion and contributing to a versatile receiving corps that could deepen Miami’s weekly fantasy upside.

Washington seized the Dolphins’ early line, serving as a focal point when Hill and Waddle were limited or resting. His five touches on seven snaps suggest tangible upside if Miami leans on him more consistently when the regular season opens, though a crowded WR room (plus Westbrook-Ikhine and Eskridge) means volatility remains.
