Hurts thumb Sunday
Washington exited Sunday's game against the Patriots with a thumb injury.
Analysis: Before his departure from the contest, Washington caught one pass for two yards and a TD and ran twice for 22 yards. Cedrick Wilson, Theo Wease, Tahj Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are the Dolphins' available WRs in Week 18 while Washington is sidelined.

Quiet in win over Bucs
Washington secured one of three targets for four yards during Sunday's 20-17 win over Tampa Bay. He also carried the ball once for one yard.
Analysis: Washington failed to make a significant impact in the receiving game Sunday despite the fact that Jaylen Waddle was forced to the sideline due to a ribs injury midway through the second quarter and didn't return to action until late in the third. Overall, Washington's most significant contribution to Miami's win over the Buccaneers may have been the 47-yard kick return he managed late in the third quarter. He'll have one more chance to demonstrate chemistry with Quinn Ewers in the Dolphins'…read more

Rushing TD in loss
Washington caught his lone target for 23 yards and rushed one time for a nine-yard touchdown in Miami's 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Analysis: After catching multiple passes in 13 of his first 14 games, Washington has now posted back-to-back one-catch games on a total of two targets. Washington, however, was able to salvage his box score with a nine-yard rushing score in the second quarter to give the Dolphins a 14-10 lead. Cincinnati would then go on to score 35 straight points to bury the Dolphins. Washington has minimal fantasy appeal headed into next Sunday's date with Tampa Bay.

Only targeted once
Washington secured his only target for 10 yards during Miami's 28-15 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.
Analysis: Washington turned in his lowest single-game target total of the season in Week 15, as all of Darren Waller, De'Von Achane, Greg Dulcich, Jaylen Waddle and Julian Hill saw more involvement in the receiving game. Monday's loss was also just the third time this season that Washington didn't field any kickoff returns, though he did return two punts for 14 yards. Washington will face a more favorable matchup at home against the Bengals on Sunday.

Secures three of four targets
Washington caught three of four targets for 10 yards during Miami's 34-10 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis: Washington finished second on the team in targets behind only Jaylen Waddle (3-50-1 on seven targets), though Tua Tagovailoa looked the way of Darren Waller, Greg Dulcich, and Jaylen Wright three times each, and the early departure of De'Von Achane (ribs) knocked out one of the Dolphins' usual top contributors in the passing game. Though Washington has established a fair floor with at least three catches in eight of his last nine appearances, he's yet to surpass 50 receiving yards this season…read more

Four catches in win
Washington caught four of five targets for 30 yards in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: Washington's five targets were one fewer than Jaylen Waddle's six for the team lead on a day when Tua Tagovailoa dropped back to pass 27 times. Washington has operated as the Dolphins' WR2 by default since Tyreek Hill suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4, but Washington has shown a low ceiling, as he's failed to reach 50 receiving yards in any of his 12 appearances this season. He carries minimal fantasy appeal headed into a Week 14 date with the Jets.

Productive as receiver in OT win
Washington secured all three targets for 42 yards, returned one kickoff for 21 yards and ran back one punt for three yards in the Dolphins' 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.
Analysis: Washington delivered his second-highest receiving yardage total of the season in the overseas victory, finishing tied for second in catches with Jaylen Waddle and third in yards. Washington also continued to fill his usual full-time returner role, and he now has at least 30 receiving yards in four of the last five games heading into Miami's Week 12 bye.

Touchdown reception in upset win
Washington brought in two of three targets for nine yards and a touchdown, rushed once for four yards, returned one kickoff for 24 yards and ran back one punt for 13 yards in the Dolphins' 30-13 win over the Bills on Sunday.
Analysis: Washington filled his usual jack-of-all-trades role and managed to make an impact as a receiver with a nine-yard touchdown reception to open the scoring. The versatile second-year pro has scored both of his TDs in the last three games, and he now has multiple receptions in eight straight contests but has yet to top 48 receiving yards in any outing this season. Washington will remain in his versatile role during a Week 11 matchup against the Commanders in Madrid next Sunday.

Commits key turnover in loss
Washington brought in all three targets for 48 yards, rushed three times for 13 yards, returned two punts for 38 yards and lost a fumble in the Dolphins' 28-6 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.
Analysis: Washington once again played a solid complementary role in the Dolphins' Tyreek Hill-less air attack, while also continuing to moonlight as an occasional rusher and primary punt returner. It was in the former capacity that Washington committed a key turnover Thursday, as he fumbled on the Ravens' 11-yard line early in the fourth quarter on his third and final carry of the night. The second-year wideout has between three and five catches in five consecutive games, and he should continue to…read more

Scores in upset win over Falcons
Washington secured four of five targets for 36 yards and one touchdown during Miami's 34-10 win over Atlanta on Sunday.
Analysis: Washington finished second on the team in receiving yardage behind Jaylen Waddle (5-99-1 on six targets), though running back De'Von Achane (5-24-1) also had seven targets. The placement of Darren Waller (hamstring) on IR paved the way for Washington, rather than tight ends Tanner Conner or Greg Dulcich, to handle an expanded role in the passing game.

Five catches in Week 7 loss
Washington brought in five of eight targets for 30 yards, returned four kickoffs for 114 yards and ran back one punt for 11 yards in the Dolphins' 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: The speedy second-year wideout led the Dolphins in receptions and targets on a very low-volume day for Miami's passing attack. Washington's catch, yardage and target totals were all season highs, but he continues to be used almost exclusively in a short-area role, capping his upside except in formats that also count return yardage.

Draws five targets again
Washington secured four of five targets for 22 yards and carried the ball once for one yard during Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Washington remains consistently involved on offense, having drawn five targets in four of his six regular-season appearances to begin the year, and he's also been involved as a ball-carrier in all but one game. That said, Washington hasn't done much with those opportunities, as he's yet to score or log a 50-yard performance on offense this season. He'll have a difficult task improving his efficiency on the road against a stingy Browns defense in Week 7. In fantasy formats that reward production…read more

Minimal impact on offense in loss
Washington brought in four of five targets for no gain, returned four kickoffs for 98 yards and ran back three punts for 29 yards in the Dolphins' 27-24 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: In the Dolphins' first full game without Tyreek Hill (IR, knee), the expanded role on offense some predicted for Washington surfaced to an extent, albeit with minimal value since he didn't net any receiving yardage on his four grabs. Nevertheless, the second-year wideout's catch total was a season high, and his target tally equaled a high-water mark for the season as well. Washington did continue to pay solid dividends for those deploying him in formats that also count return yards, and he…read more

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.

Involved in rotation again Week 3
Washington secured three of five targets for 12 yards and carried the ball twice for 20 yards during Thursday's 31-21 loss to Buffalo.
Analysis: Washington continues to operate as the clear No. 3 receiver in Miami behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, handling a versatile role that has yet to translate into significant fantasy value. His only touchdown on the season thus far came in the form of a special teams play Week 2. Outside of deeper fantasy formats, Washington will likely remain off the fantasy radar as a speculative option in weekly lineups unless one of Hill or Waddle ends up missing time.

Washington (thumb) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's matchup against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Washington has had his practice reps limited due to a thumb injury apparently sustained during Miami's loss to the Patriots in Week 2, but he's listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated report and is ready to rock for Thursday Night Football.

As long as Tyreek Hill (seven targets) and Jaylen Waddle (six targets) are healthy, however, both Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will remain speculative fantasy lineup options ahead of Thursday's game against the Bills.

Showcases versatility in loss
Washington secured one of two targets for two yards during Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Patriots. He also gained 23 rushing yards on three carries and added 122 yards and a touchdown on three kick returns.
Analysis: Washington made his biggest impact on special teams in Week 2, returning two kickoffs for 48 yards and scoring a 74-yard touchdown on his only punt return. The second-year wideout once again operated as the No. 3 receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, playing 65 percent of the offensive snaps compared to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine's 28 percent, on which he produced two catches for 18 yards on three targets.

Makes two grabs in Week 1 loss
Washington secured two of five targets for 20 yards during Miami's 33-8 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also rushed once for nine yards.
Analysis: Washington's involvement on offense was notable even in an ugly Week 1 loss, as he tied team target leader Tyreek Hill (four catches for 40 yards on six targets) in terms of total touches. Of course, none of the Dolphins' wideouts could get much going in a game that saw Tua Tagovailoa be limited to just 114 passing yards while accounting for three turnovers, but Washington quietly appears to have taken a step forward entering Year 2. He's entrenched over Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as the No. 3…read more

Shows rapport with Tagovailoa
Washington recorded three receptions on three targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 14-6 preseason win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Washington got the chance to play three drives with Tua Tagovailoa in the absence of Tyreek Hill (oblique), and he impressed with the chance. He made all of his catches in the short area of the field, though he navigated through defenders and traffic to score a 25-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. Washington had minimal production as a rookie in 2024, but he could see that improve in 2025 -- particularly if either Hill or Jaylen Waddle is forced to miss any time.

Washington secured all four of his targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 24-24 preseason tie against the Bears. He also rushed once for six yards.
Analysis: Washington kicked off Miami's preseason opener with the starting offense, though Tyreek Hill (oblique) and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) both were held out with injuries, so it was Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Dee Eskridge who joined him in three-wide sets. Interestingly, though, Washington was tremendously involved on the lone drive he played, drawing targets on four of the five routes he ran while also taking a designed end-around for a short gain.

Analysis: Washington's rookie year got off to a quiet start, with just 10 grabs for 54 yards across his first 10 regular-season appearances, but in his last four games the sixth-rounder managed a 16-169-0 line on 20 targets.

Nets 30 yards Sunday
Washington finished with four receptions on five targets for 41 yards while losing 11 yards on his only carry in Sunday's 20-3 win over Cleveland.
Analysis: Washington squandered another starting opportunity when he lost 11 yards on his only rushing attempt to further dampen a modest receiving day (4-41-0). The sixth-round rookie is not shaping up to be a strong fantasy play in Week 18, especially if injured starter Jaylen Waddle (knee) is able to recover from his current injury. Washington should be considered only a deep-league option in next Sunday's scheduled tilt against the Jets.

Finishes with 28 yards Sunday
Washington brought in three of four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Washington was expected to take on an expanded role sans starter Jaylen Waddle (knee). Unfortunately for speculative fantasy managers, the wideout finished with less yards and receptions than he did filling in for Waddle in the second half of last week's loss to the Texans. Waddle's status for Week 17 is still up in the air, but Washington would still boast the potential for those in deeper formats should the star wideout miss next Sunday's tilt against the Browns.

Set for expanded role
With both Jaylen Waddle (knee) and Dee Eskridge (knee) listed as doubtful and Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Washington is likely to see an expanded role on offense, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Washington and River Cracraft are the Dolphins' lone healthy wide receivers currently on the 53-man roster. Miami does have a trio of wideouts on the practice squad, which includes Erik Ezukanma, Tarik Black and Isaiah McKenzie. After Waddle got hurt last week versus Houston, Washington stepped in and played a season-high 59 percent of the offensive snaps while leading the team in receiving with a 5-52-0 line on six targets.

Still, following the Dolphins' decision to move on from Odell Beckham, it's encouraging to see Washington making the most of his No. 3 role, which earned him increased involvement after Jaylen Waddle (knee) departed in the first half Sunday.

Analysis: Washington wasn't able to record any offensive stats during Sunday's divisional win, but he did return three kickoffs for 95 yards, with a long of 45. The rookie sixth-round pick also took his only punt return for a gain of 10 yards. Veteran Odell Beckham was barely more effective than Washington, as he secured his only target for one yard.

The rookie sixth-round pick hasn't yet scored or racked up 20 yards in a single game this season, but his growing involvement on offense is somewhat encouraging.

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.

Washington also worked as the Dolphins' top punt returner, racking up 21 yards on three fielded returns.

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 (quadricep) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: Washington wasn't able to practice in any capacity Week 2 before being ruled out ahead of the Dolphins' loss to the Bills, but according to Schad, the receiver is feeling good after Wednesday's session. The rookie sixth-round pick will work to keep making progress and get the green light for his regular-season debut during Sunday's game against Seattle. Skylar Thompson will start at quarterback for Miami after Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Ruled out for Week 2
Washington (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Washington will miss a second consecutive game, and the 2024 sixth-round draft pick's next opportunity to make his NFL debut will come Sept. 22 in Seattle in Week 3. Perhaps the extended break between games will provide enough recovery time for Washington to heal, but he didn't appear particularly close to playing Thursday, having failed to practice in any capacity leading up to the game.

Listed as DNP again
Washington (quadriceps) is listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice report, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins only logged a walk-through practice Tuesday and released an estimated injury report Monday, but it's worrying to see Washington listed as a non-participant twice in a row. The rookie sixth-round pick missed Week 1 and looks like he could be in danger of also having to sit out Thursday's game against the Bills.

Starts week with DNP
Washington (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Washington missed the team's Week 1 win over the Jaguars with the injury,and given the short week ahead, may be in danger of missing Thursday's game against the Bills. However, it's worth noting that the Dolphins didn't hold an actual practice Monday, so Washington's participation level was just an estimate. More clarity on his potential to suit up Week 2 should be available Tuesday.

Won't make debut Week 1
Washington (quadriceps) did not practice Friday and is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Jaguars, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Washington began the week with back-to-back limited practices before being downgraded to a non-participant Friday. The rookie sixth-round pick was facing notable opportunities to contribute Week 1, with both Odell Beckham (undisclosed) and River Cracraft (upper body) out until Week 5 at the earliest, but he'll have to first return to full health. Braxton Berrios thus will serve as Miami's third wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, with Grant DuBose positioned as the team's No. 4…read more

Not spotted at Friday's practice
Washington (quadriceps) is not present at the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Washington was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a quad injury, so if he's been downgraded to a non-participant Friday, it will bode poorly for his chances of suiting up Week 1. Friday's official practice report will provide Washington with an injury designation for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

Limited to begin week
Washington was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a quadricep injury, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Washington remained healthy throughout the preseason, but he's nursing what seems to be a minor injury heading into Sunday's season opener versus the Jaguars. The rookie sixth-round pick is facing immediate opportunities to contribute if he can get healthy, with both Odell Beckham (undisclosed) and River Cracraft (upper body) ruled out for at least the first four games of the season. Braxton Berrios has the experience to immediately work as the No. 3 receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen…read more

Racks up 120 all-purpose yards
Washington caught his only target for seven yards and rushed once for 40 yards, while adding a 45-yard kickoff return and a 28-yard punt return in Friday's 24-14 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Washington has proven capable of making plays in a variety of situations with the ball in his hands throughout the preseason. The rookie sixth-round pick probably won't see consistent playing time at wide receiver, but his versatility should help him secure a roster spot, and Miami's coaching staff may continue to scheme the ball into Washington's hands on gadget plays or in special-teams situations after the regular season kicks off Sept. 8 against the Jaguars.

Flashes all-purpose skills in win
Washington rushed once for 21 yards, hauled in one of four targets for five yards, returned two kickoffs for 46 yards and ran back four punts for 21 yards in the Dolphins' 20-13 preseason win over the Falcons on Friday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick had impressed during joint practices with the Falcons this week, and he was able to carry some of that momentum into Friday night's preseason opener. Washington wasn't able to maximize his opportunities through the air, but he flashed with his work as a rusher and on returns. The night was a positive initial step overall in Washington's quest for a roster spot, and he should see his fair share of touches again in the Dolphins' second exhibition game versus the…read more

Building momentum at camp
Washington has stood out in back-to-back joint practices with the Falcons, and he connected on a deep target from quarterback Skylar Thompson for a highlight-reel play Wednesday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: Washington is listed as a fifth-string wide receiver on Miami's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason, but he still has plenty of time remaining to make his case for a spot on the 53-man roster. The rookie sixth-round pick has impressed in recent practice while Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) and Braxton Berrios (undisclosed) have missed time, and he took advantage of Tyreek Hill logging limited work Wednesday. Head coach Mike McDaniel praised Washington's early development during…read more
