Who Should I Start? Jalen Tolbert or Kyle Williams

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jalen Tolbert finds himself in a very unique and confusing situation. The Dolphins completely overhauled their offense this offseason by parting with Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle (as well as head coach Mike McDaniel). They brought in Malik Willis to be their starting quarterback, signaling the new coaching staff's desire to operate a run-heavy offense. Willis wasn't the greatest passer last year in Green Bay, so it's fair to question whether any of the Dolphins' new receivers will be able to produce at a high level in fantasy football. One of the players in the mix is Tolbert, who went from commanding 79 targets with the Cowboys in 2024 to just 34 targets (and 18 catches) in 2025. He's looking for a fresh start in Miami, and the good news is that he's currently near the top of the depth chart. Tolbert seems to be penciled into the No. 2 receiver role behind Malik Washington for now, although he'll also face competition from veteran Tutu Atwell and rookies Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell (knee), and Kevin Coleman. Early in the year, Atwell could carve out some low-end WR3/flex appeal, especially if Willis throws the ball better (and more often) than expected. However, as the rookies develop and the Dolphins continue to feed De'Von Achane on the ground, Tolbert's value will slip. As it stands, he's the WR126 in RotoBaller's dynasty leagues, indicating that he doesn't have much long-term appeal despite the short-term relevance.
