Malik Washington Faces Modest Volume in Miami Slot Role

Entering his third NFL campaign completely healthy, Washington is slated as Miami's primary slot receiver alongside outside options Jalen Tolbert and Caleb Douglas. After recording 46 catches and three scores in 2025, he offers situational utility, but he still shares playmaking duties in an offense centered around running back De'Von Achane.

Our projections anticipate around 2.9 catches on 4.1 targets for 21 receiving yards, adding a brief rushing touch to reach 7.4 fantasy points against Las Vegas. With a 20% roster rate and less than 1% of managers starting him, Washington is best viewed as a bench stash or deep-league flex option.

Outlook Chris Bell

Chris Bell Cleared for Week 1 Debut but Remains a Stash-Only Option

After spending the early part of training camp on the non-football injury list while rehabbing a collegiate ACL tear, rookie third-rounder Chris Bell shed his non-contact jersey in late August and declared himself ready for Week 1. Bell is listed as a backup behind Jalen Tolbert on Miami's depth chart, entering a restructured offense led by Malik Willis that may lean heavily on the ground attack early on.

With an 8% roster rate and 0% started across leagues, fantasy managers should take a cautious approach. Our weekly projection slates Bell for around 1.5 receptions and 18 yards against Las Vegas, making him an easy bench candidate who is best reserved as a stash in deeper leagues until his weekly route participation is established.
