Ja'Lynn Polk's Rehab Going Well, Set for Beneficial Role in 2026

Wednesday, January 7, 12:55 PM

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said that wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk's (shoulder) rehab has gone well and that he's fitting in with the group well, according to Erin Summers of NFL Network. Head coach Kellen Moore said that Polk will "be able to fill a very beneficial role here." The Saints acquired Polk and a seventh-round draft pick in 2028 from the New England Patriots back in September in exchange for a sixth-rounder in 2027. The 23-year-old former second-rounder missed all of the 2025 season due to a shoulder injury. Polk struggled in his rookie campaign in 2024, catching 12 passes for 87 yards and two touchdowns on 33 targets. He'll have another opportunity to make noise in 2026 behind Chris Olave, making him one to watch in training camp and the preseason in deeper fantasy leagues.

Tahj Washington News

Tahj Washington Leads Dolphins in Receiving on Sunday

Sunday, August 10, 4:54 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tahj Washington led his team in receiving in their preseason matchup with the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Washington was targeted four times and recorded three catches for 53 yards. A seventh-round pick out of USC in 2024, Washington missed his entire rookie season due to a lower-leg injury. The Dolphins have Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and Malik Washington as the top four in their wide receiver room, so Tahj Washington is likely battling for a back-end roster spot. He's off to a good start in that effort with this preseason performance, but he's still multiple injuries away from being fantasy-relevant in 2025.
