The Miami Dolphins overhauled their wide receiver room this offseason, moving on from Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Cedrick Wilson Jr. and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and replacing them with Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, Terrace Marshall Jr., Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman Jr.
While the group catching passes from Malik Willis in 2026 will look very different than those who caught passes from Quinn Ewers to end the 2025, there's belief that at least one holdover can have a career year.
On Tuesday, CBS Sports' Tyler Sullivan identified Malik Washington as an under-the-radar breakout candidate for the Dolphins this year.
“Washington was third on the team in targets (65) and receptions (46), and fourth in receiving yards (317) last season… it's conceivable that Washington becomes the No. 1 target in this receiver room and puts up career numbers across the board,” Sullivan wrote.
Washington has been a weapon on special teams, averaging 10.4 yards per punt return and 27.9 yards per kick return in two years while taking one punt return back for a touchdown.
This could be the year that Washington takes his offensive game to the next level, as he's the longest tenured wide receiver in the room and has the experience working with new offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik.
