Malik Washington vs. Bengals — Target Share Surge Puts Him on the Flex Radar

Washington has solidified his role in Miami's passing attack, operating as the starting slot receiver. Over his last two games, he has seen meaningful involvement with 10 receptions on 15 targets for 123 yards, while adding occasional work on gadget runs. His roster rate has jumped over 50% as fantasy managers take notice of his steady volume.

Facing Cincinnati, Miami enters as a touchdown underdog, pointing to a pass-heavy game script. We project Washington for roughly 4 catches, 47 yards, and 9.7 fantasy points. With fellow wideout Caleb Douglas questionable due to an ankle issue, Washington shapes up as a viable PPR flex option in deeper formats.
