Malik Washington vs. CIN — Emerging Slot Option in Line for Heavy Target Volume

Healthy and operating as Miami's starting slot receiver, Washington enters Week 5 with expanding opportunities. With teammate Caleb Douglas ruled out, Miami leans on Washington after he recorded 15 targets and 10 receptions for 123 yards over his last two games.

Fantasy managers have pushed his roster rate to 65% as his role grows. As 7-point home underdogs against Cincinnati, Miami likely faces a pass-heavy script. We project Washington for approximately 4 receptions and 53 receiving yards on 6 to 7 targets (11.6 fantasy points), making him a solid Flex option.
