Jalen Tolbert Becomes Miami's WR1 After Most Recent Trade

Tuesday, March 17, 5:38 PM

The Miami Dolphins are in full-on rebuild mode after trading away top wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos on Tuesday in exchange for three draft picks, including a first-rounder this year. The Dolphins have already cut All-Pro receiver Tyreek Hill (knee), so free-agent addition Jalen Tolbert is now at the top of the team's receiving depth chart. The 27-year-old signed a one-year deal with Miami last week after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys. Tolbert was a third-round pick in 2022 out of South Alabama. He had 1,093 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns on 91 catches over his four seasons, with his best season coming in 2024, when he had 49 catches, 610 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns in 17 games. Tolbert reportedly is a close friend of new Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis, too, so even if Miami addresses the position in the upcoming draft, he should have a pretty strong target floor in his first year in South Beach. Tolbert's redraft and dynasty/keeper value arrow is pointing upward.

Packers "Clearing the Way" for Matthew Golden on WR Depth Chart

Wednesday, April 15, 10:45 AM

The Green Bay Packers are "clearing the way" for wide receiver Matthew Golden to move up the depth chart as he heads into his second season in the NFL, writes Rob Demovsky of ESPN. The Packers let Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and then recently traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Packers never made Golden, a first-rounder (23rd overall) in 2025, a focal point of the offense last year, and he finished with just 29 catches for 361 yards and no touchdowns in 14 regular-season games. Golden caught four passes for 84 yards and his first career touchdown reception in the playoff loss to the Chicago Bears. "I think his ceiling is very, very high. We're very, very excited about what he's going to do for our football team moving forward," general manager Brian Gutekunst said. Christian Watson will be the Packers' No. 1 wideout and big-play threat, but he's also been very injury-prone in his career. Jayden Reed is also expected to have a bigger role, but with both Doubs and Wicks out of town, Golden should be much more involved in 2026 after he let his frustration with his rookie role be known. In single-year leagues, Golden will be a WR4/flex option with big-play abilities and still plenty of upside.
