Malik Washington racks up six receptions vs. Bengals

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington posted six receptions for a team-best 43 yards on eight targets in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while running once for 18 yards.

Why it Matters: Washington is still searching for his first touchdown of the season, but he has been consistent, and his usage is picking up. He has seen his receptions increase or stay the same as the previous game in every outing this season. He has at least three receptions, and at least 43 receiving yards, in all five games, making him a respectable WR4 or flex fantasy option in most leagues.
