2026 Draft note
Washington's profile is almost entirely YAC: 91st-percentile ESPN YAC, 88th-percentile PFF YAC per reception on a 5.4 average depth of target. He catches short passes and turns them into something. The route grade (35th percentile) and YPRR (15th percentile) confirm he needs to be schemed open rather than winning routes on his own. The reason he matters is pretty simple: Miami has 160 vacated WR targets representing 67.2% of WR volume. Someone has to catch the ball. Malik Willis will extend plays and find open players to dump the ball off to. Washington, with his elite YAC creation on short catches, fits that environment well.
