Malik Willis vs. Bengals — Limited passing upside leaves him on fantasy benches
Willis remains under center for the winless Dolphins (0-4), but Miami's offense has struggled to generate consistent scoring drives. With explosive running back De'Von Achane sidelined, Willis enters Week 5 as a seven-point home underdog against Cincinnati. Ball-security issues have also hindered the unit, as Willis has coughed up two lost fumbles and thrown an interception across his last two starts.
From a fantasy standpoint, Willis is difficult to trust outside of superflex formats and is started in just 3% of leagues. Our models project him for roughly 162 passing yards and 27 rushing yards, totaling 12.1 fantasy points. While designed carries provide a modest floor, his low projected passing volume severely caps any legitimate weekly upside.

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.
