PositiveSleeperOct 8, 2026
Washington deserves more attention as a potential WR3 in deeper leagues; he has scored 11+ points in back-to-back games and is averaging seven targets per game. His versatility in Miami's offense creates multiple opportunities: he serves as an outlet for quarterback Malik Willis on boots and checkdowns, can separate from both slot and perimeter alignments, and plays a 'Deebo' role as an I-back with rushing attempts. Washington has at least one carry in each of his last three games and gets targets on fly sweeps and swing screens. He carries a 27% team target share. Lack of touchdowns (zero on season) lowers upside, but usage and deployment provide stable floor with upcoming schedule (CIN, BYE, @NYJ).PositiveRoleOct 2, 2026
Washington has expanding role and versatility; caught five of a season-high 10 targets for 56 yards in Week 3 versus the Chiefs, plus had two carries for five yards from backfield alignments. Has seen five or more targets in all three games this season with at least one rushing attempt in the past two. Vikings' pressure defense will create conflict for QB Malik Willis and Miami's protection schemes, but the Vikings are giving up the 10th-most points per game to opposing wide receivers.PositiveRoleSep 28, 2026
Washington, in his third season, is seeing ample snaps and caught five out of 10 targets Sunday. Miami's passing game isn't thriving behind QB Malik Willis, but Washington leads this winless team in catches and receiving yards. Rookie Caleb Douglas (ankle) is more rostered and boasts star potential, but he is not nearly as reliable and did not play in Week 3.PositiveRoleSep 26, 2026
