Jalen Tolbert News
Saturday, September 5, 12:17 PM
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jalen Tolbert may struggle to find fantasy relevance in 2026. While he is currently listed as one of three starting wide receivers on Miami's depth chart, it has been rookie Caleb Douglas who has created all of the buzz throughout training camp. Meanwhile, wide receivers Malik Washington and Chris Bell, as well as tight end Greg Dulcich, will also be involved in the passing game, with quarterback Malik Willis now running the offense in Miami. Perhaps most importantly, head coach Jeff Hafley has made it clear that he plans to have a run-heavy offense with a large dose of running back De'Von Achane. Tolbert will see his fair share of targets, but his path to making a fantasy impact in 2026 appears to be narrow. Tolbert is currently rostered in 0% of Yahoo leagues and ranks as RotoBaller's No. 113 wideout in half-PPR leagues, making him more of a stash in dynasty leagues.

Dontayvion Wicks News
Thursday, September 3, 7:42 PM
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks is expected to occupy a starting role when the regular season gets underway next week. Wicks was traded from the Packers to the Eagles this offseason, and he'll immediately occupy a significant role following the departure of A.J. Brown. All signs point to the 25-year-old opening the regular season as Philly's No. 2 receiver, starting opposite DeVonta Smith. His track record in Green Bay was iffy, but there was never any doubt about his role with the Eagles. After all, he was held out of all three preseason games due to his status as a projected starter. We expect the Eagles' offense to trend upward under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, which bodes well for Wicks' upside as a low-end WR3/flex. For now, he's an extremely affordable option in fantasy drafts. The latest ADP has him as a fringe draft pick in 12-team leagues and a 14th-round pick in 14-team leagues.
