Jalen Tolbert Inactive Against 49ers

Sunday, September 20, 11:25 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jalen Tolbert tops the inactive list once again as his team prepares to face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2. Tolbert was a healthy scratch in Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders, which opened the door for rookie Caleb Douglas to catch five passes for 94 yards in his NFL debut. Fellow wideouts Malik Washington and Chris Bell should also have a healthy workload in Week 2 with Tolbert on the sidelines. Tolbert signed with the Dolphins in the offseason after four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and was expected to carve out a role for himself in Miami's evolving receiver room. After two weeks riding the bench, fantasy managers can't rely on Tolbert for weekly production.

Malachi Fields' Target Volume Lacking Against Cardinals

Saturday, October 3, 6:42 AM

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields has hauled in six of 12 targets for 74 yards in three games to start the 2026 season. Despite a crowded training camp, Fields has stepped up as the WR2 in this offense, playing 74% of snaps and running 68% of routes. However, the Giants' offense under offensive coordinator Matt Nagy ranks 28th in pass attempts and 30th in pass rate over expected. With star receiver Malik Nabers and tight end Isaiah Likely dominating the volume in this passing attack, little is left for the rookie receiver. Fields faces an Arizona Cardinals secondary that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. The snaps and matchup are there, but Fields' Week 4 fantasy value will hinge on the Giants' willingness to throw to him against a struggling Cardinals secondary.
