Jalen Tolbert Worth Watching in Deeper Redraft Leagues

Monday, July 27, 12:46 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has a real chance to earn snaps, but he still has to separate from one of the league's least settled receiver rooms. His final season in Dallas ended with 18 catches for 203 yards and one touchdown across 13 games. The better case comes from 2024, when Tolbert posted 49 receptions for 610 yards and seven scores. Miami gave him regular work throughout minicamp. He produced a gain of at least 15 yards on the opening day, caught intermediate throws during the second practice, and found the end zone on Day 3. Malik Washington and Tutu Atwell were involved as well, while rookies Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, and Kevin Coleman Jr. give the Dolphins several other options. The move to Malik Willis also leaves this passing game with plenty to prove. RotoBaller ranks Tolbert WR89 in PPR leagues. He is worth monitoring in deeper formats because the depth chart is open, but standard-league managers can wait until training camp reveals whether his spring involvement turns into a real role.

Isaac TeSlaa Emerging as a Sneaky Sleeper in Redraft Formats

Friday, July 24, 5:23 AM

Detroit Lions ' second-year receiver out of Arkansas, Isaac TeSlaa, has shown impressive physical and athletic gains this offseason and is poised to be a lock as the Lions' WR3. TeSlaa flashed quite a bit of upside in his rookie campaign, hauling in 239 yards on 27 targets, 16 receptions, and six touchdowns. He averaged 14.94 yards per reception last season and was a physical specimen at his 2025 NFL combine, ranking second in his class at the position in athleticism score, sitting at the 98th percentile in catch radius, at the 90th percentile in burst score, and at the 97th percentile in speed score. The Lions still have Jameson Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown as the clear No. 1 and No. 2 receivers, to go along with Sam LaPorta at tight end; however, TeSlaa should be deployed in three-wide receiver sets and serve as a red-zone specialist. RotoBaller ranks him as the WR69 off the board, and if either Williams or St. Brown were to miss time, TeSlaa would be viewed as a strong WR3 with upside.
