Washington's sales pitch at ADP is that "He Might Be Miami's WR1," but he could just as easily end up the WR6 on a Miami team that likely will feature the worst passing offense in the NFL.

Washington could be WR6 on worst passing offense; poor efficiency doesn't justify ADP.

Washington's UD ADP of 179.5 is too high; the source argues his sales pitch—"He Might Be Miami's WR1"—is speculative and he could easily end up the WR6 on a Miami team likely to feature the worst passing offense in the NFL. Washington is a slot specialist with unacceptably poor results through two seasons. The 2026 Miami offense will likely go extremely run-heavy in a two-TE base, which could send Washington to the bench. He is not guaranteed to hold off Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell (knee), or Kevin Coleman. Through 961 career snaps, Washington has drawn just 101 targets despite an aDOT of only 4.8 yards—he should have 30-40 more targets given his snap count and route depth. His per-target efficiency is even worse: 71.3% catch rate at 5.4 yards per target is unacceptable given his modest target volume. Washington doesn't get open often enough and doesn't do enough with his meager target total to warrant a pick in any round.
