Jalen Tolbert News
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.

DeMario Douglas News
Friday, September 18, 10:24 PM
New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas will take on a larger role during Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it could result in him jumping to the low-end WR3/flex tier in PPR leagues. Douglas handled a respectable 62% snap share in last week's season opener against the Seahawks, catching five of seven targets for 20 yards. The receiving yards output was quite disappointing, but the overall volume and target share should catch the attention of PPR managers. Heading into Week 2, the Patriots are without A.J. Brown (ankle), leaving Douglas as the de facto No. 2 receiver in New England behind Romeo Doubs. Given Doubs' lack of reliability after he had some drop issues in Week 1, Douglas has a chance to emerge as Drake Maye's most reliable target, even if he doesn't have the highest ceiling. He projects for at least a handful of targets on Sunday, which could put him on the streaming radar as a low-end WR3/flex.
