Malik Washington caught 5-of-6 targets for 40 yards and one touchdown in the Dolphins’ Week 8 loss to the Patriots. 2026-11-01 22:00:03 Washington continues to play well as a short-area pass catcher, though he did haul in a 23-yarder downfield. He got leveled on the Dolphins’ fifth drive, and Patriots LB Christian Ellis received an unnecessary roughness penalty for the act. It briefly seemed like Washington’s day might be over, but he returned a few plays later to score a one-yard touchdown via a quick out route after going in motion pre-snap. Today’s stat line allowed Washington to clear the century mark in career catches (103). Among NFL wide receivers with at least 100 receptions from 2021-26, Washington’s 8.4 yards per reception ranks dead last. He is a WR4/FLEX against the Lions in Week 9. |

Malik Washington (knee) is not on Miami’s final Week 8 injury report. 2026-10-30 17:00:03 Washington’s WR4 status will continue aplomb against the Patriots in Week 8, though Caleb Douglas’ return probably has capped his ceiling case for the time being. |

Malik Washington (knee) was limited in Thursday’s practice. 2026-10-29 17:00:02 Back-to-back limited sessions probably leave Washington in a good spot for Week 8. He’s more likely than not to be cleared off the injury report on Friday as long as there’s not a sudden downgrade. |

Malik Washington (knee) was limited on Wednesday. 2026-10-28 17:00:02 Washington has cooled off in recent weeks. Although his knee injury is unlikely to keep him out of the Dolphins’ Week 8 matchup against the Patriots, he is barely a WR5 in fantasy football. Washington does not need to be rostered in 12-team leagues. |

Malik Washington caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in the Dolphins’ Week 7 win over the Jets, adding two carries for eight yards. 2026-10-25 19:00:01 Washington’s previous season-low in targets was five. He had also reached at least 43 receiving yards in every game before today. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that his worst box score of the season came in Caleb Douglas’s first game back from a month-long absence. With more competition for targets on a team that doesn’t want to pass the football, Washington is trending in the wrong direction headed into Week 8. He will be a low-end WR4 versus the Patriots next week. |
