Jalen Tolbert News
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 News
Friday, October 23, 6:37 PM
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields hauled in just two of eight targets for 19 yards in the 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. While Fields has struggled to produce in recent weeks, he has fully taken over the WR2 role after playing a season-high 94% of snaps in Week 6. He'll continue to operate behind top targets Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely, but with his high snap count, it's only a matter of time before Fields has his breakout game. It could come in Week 7 against a Houston Texans defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While their elite pass rush could pose problems for new starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy, Fields is positioned for a big game in Week 7 and could be a waiver-wire target next week.
