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. 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.

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. 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.
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. 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.
Washington was not targeted during Miami's 30-27 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He rushed once for nine yards. 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-1 yard. Washington will look to make more of an impact on the road versus the Rams on Monday Night Football.
Washington secured two of three targets for nine yards during the Dolphins' 16-10 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday. Washington worked as Miami's No. 3 wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, handling 25 offensive snaps while Odell Beckham played just 11. Beckham may still be ramping up after returning from a hamstring injury, but Washington's involvement is somewhat encouraging, even if the Dolphins' offense without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been a massive disappointment. Tagovailoa may be a candidate to return from IR in time to play in Week 8 against the Cardinals, but that would primarily help Hill and Waddle, not the team's depth WRs.
Washington (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. Washington was limited in all three of Miami's practices but will play through his injury for the second consecutive game. He played only 14 snaps on offense in his NFL debut Week 4, and the rookie sixth-round pick likely will be deployed in a limited role again Sunday.
Washington (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. The rookie wideout played through his quadriceps issue in Week 4's loss to the Titans, hauling in his only target for eight yards across 14 offensive snaps. Washington is projected to continue playing through this quadriceps injury in Week 5 unless his practice participation is downgraded either Thursday or Friday.
Washington secured his only target for eight yards during Miami's 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night. Washington played 26 percent of offensive snaps in his NFL debut. The rookie sixth-round pick missed the first three games of the season due to a quadriceps injury, but he played the same amount in Monday's loss to Tennessee as Braxton Berrios Dee Eskridge, who was elevated from the practice squad. Washington will look to earn more involvement against the Patriots on the road in Week 5.
Washington (quadriceps) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Titans. Washington is thus slated to make his regular-season debut after missing the Dolphins' first three games. In his return to action, the 2024 sixth-rounder will be in the mix (along with Braxton Berrios and Dee Eskridge) to log snaps behind top wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but until he gets a full and productive game in, the rookie out of Virginia will remain a speculative fantasy option.
Washington (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Titans, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports. The 2024 sixth-round pick has yet to make his NFL debut after sustaining a quadriceps issue in early September, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to suit up Monday night. Miami currently has just three wide receivers on its active roster without an injury designation, so Washington could see a decent amount of work if he's able to play through injury in Week 4.
