All Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz insights about Malik Washington
PositiveUsageOct 7, 2026
Ranked WR30 by Ian Hartitz. Washington has received 19 combined carries and targets over the last two weeks with Devon Han out of the picture, getting force-fed the football. Hartitz compares his role to a Jarvis Landry rookie-year or Jaylen Wadd situation where he's being force-fed opportunities. While the viewing experience isn't ideal and he shouldn't be the engine of the entire offense (comparing him unfavorably to Luther Burden's role), he is making the most of his opportunities and producing fantasy points in PPR formats.PositiveRoleSep 28, 2026
Washington is emerging as the engine of the Dolphins offense with Devon Achane out of the picture. He caught a 14-yard touchdown (nullified by illegal shift penalty unrelated to his play) and made a guy miss before dragging another defender into the end zone despite weighing only 190 pounds soaking wet. He also got behind the defense for a potential 43-yard touchdown that was overthrown. Ian Hartitz identifies Washington as one of the three most impacted players in Week 3 and notes the Dolphins have used him at running back over the past two weeks; with Achane out, the offense might actively start going through Washington, making him a potential waiver wire target.NegativeUsageSep 14, 2026
Malik Washington was noted for his involvement in unrealized air yards metrics during Week 1.PositiveValueNo date
Ian Hartitz recommends Malik Washington over 4.5 receptions (potentially available at 3.5 depending on sportsbook). Washington had 10 targets and 5 catches last week and is positioned to see increased volume with Devon Aent out. Hartitz identifies Washington as the Dolphins' number one receiver and the primary target for quick-hitting plays designed to combat Brian Flores' blitz-heavy defense. Washington has already been used on 13 snaps in the backfield this season.PositiveRoleNo date
The only Dolphin Ian Hartitz somewhat wants in fantasy lineups. He's likely to take a lot of the pass-down work and has been used for 13 snaps in the backfield, positioning him to get more work than Ollie Gordon in a weak Dolphins offense that will likely be throwing to him instead of running.PositiveSleeperNo date
Malik Washington has 23 scoreless targets this season (tied with Ted McMillan on the touchdown drought leaderboard), but Ian Hartitz ranks him WR34 this week with significant room to move up as matchups improve. Washington is the only consistent touch target for a Titans offense facing the Miami Dolphins, the league's worst offense for scoring points. He has 13 snaps in the backfield with a 14-yard touchdown nullified last week and a 43-yard potential touchdown overthrown. Hartitz compares his role to Samaje Perine or Jarvis Landry—a bad-offense slot receiver who consistently gets funneled touches regardless of game script, which can produce fantasy points despite poor real-life offense performance.
