Jalen Tolbert Inactive Ahead of Week 1 Rumble vs. Raiders

Sunday, September 13, 11:29 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jalen Tolbert was a healthy scratch ahead of his team's Week 1 road game against the Raiders in Las Vegas. The fifth-year wideout enters his first season with the Dolphins after spending his first four years with the Dallas Cowboys, amassing 91 receptions for 1,093 yards and 10 touchdowns. Tolbert was expected to be one of new starting quarterback Malik Willis' favorite targets ahead of training camp, but rookie Caleb Douglas surpassed him on the depth chart by the end of preseason play. Malik Washington and Chris Bell are expected to be top targets as the season gets underway, while running back De'Von Achane leads what is expected to be a run-heavy offense in 2026. Tolbert is still a stash candidate in dynasty leagues, but Sunday's healthy scratch confirms he isn't a weekly fantasy asset in redraft formats to start the season.

Andrei Iosivas Tough to Trust Despite Favorable Matchup

Saturday, September 12, 9:11 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas opens the year as a starter, but that still does not make him easy to trust in fantasy. Cincinnati lists him with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and Tampa Bay was vulnerable through the air last season, allowing 4,049 net passing yards and 30 passing touchdowns. The matchup is not the problem. The targets are. Iosivas saw 58 targets in 17 games last year and turned them into 33 catches for 435 yards and two touchdowns. Chase and Higgins are both on track to play, so it is hard to project much more than a handful of opportunities unless Cincinnati gets Iosivas involved near the goal line or the game turns pass-heavy. RotoBaller has him at WR81 in its Saturday update. That puts him well outside normal starting range. Managers in deeper leagues can take a shot if they need a receiver from a strong passing offense, but Iosivas is better left on the bench in most formats for Week 1.
