2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 2024 sixth-round pick, Washington mostly had a quiet rookie season but then came on relatively strong at the end with 16 catches for 169 yards over the final four games. He appeared capable as the Dolphins' No. 3 receiver, and also returned both punts and kickoffs, but there is some risk of slipping down the depth chart after the team signed Nick Westbrook-Ikhine this offseason. At 5-foot-9, 191, with 4.47 speed and a 42.5-inch vertical jump, Washington is a strong and explosive athlete who thrives with the ball in his hands. He fits best in the slot, but the Dolphins also have Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle as excellent options there, making it unclear exactly how Washington will fit into the offense this season. He might just be injury insurance for Hill and Waddle, despite playing reasonably well as a rookie. Read Past Outlooks

Earns four touches in Week 4

Washington reeled in two of three targets for 13 yards and added eight yards on two carries in Monday's 27-21 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Washington started and was on the field for 28 of the Dolphins' 58 offensive plays (48 percent), but his snap share appears destined to rise in the upcoming weeks after star wideout Tyreek Hill sustained a season-ending knee injury during Monday's contest. Jaylen Waddle is expected to settle in as the clear No. 1 target for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sans Hill, but fellow receivers Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as well as running back De'Von Achane and tight end Darren Waller could all see their profiles in the passing game expand to varying degrees.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Washington was expected by many to be selected in the fourth round of the 2024 draft. The receiver fell into the sixth round, and Miami selected the receiver with the No. 184 pick. At 5-foot-9, 191 pounds and not showing great route versatility, Washington projects to be a slot receiver. Currently, the Dolphins have Braxton Berrios and River Cracraft who have functioned at times in the No. 3 receiver role. Should Washington have a strong training camp, it’s possible he can challenge Berrios and Cracraft for a regular role in the offense. However, with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle dominating targets, the No. 3 role in Miami is unlikely to provide significant target volume.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for increased role
WRMiami Dolphins
September 30, 2025
Washington is expected to take on a larger role in the Miami offense with Tyreek Hill sidelined, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Hill will be out for the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury suffered Monday against the Jets, opening up a lot of opportunity in the Miami offense. Darren Waller stepped up to score twice in Monday's win, but Washington didn't immediately see an increased role, earning a season-low 48 percent of offensive snaps and only three targets. However, he performed well during the preseason and has shown some explosiveness as a punt returner, suggesting he could excel with additional offensive touches.
