Cardinals Signing Kendrick Bourne to Two-Year Deal

Monday, March 9, 3:09 PM

The Arizona Cardinals are signing former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne to a two-year deal worth up to $12 million on Monday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Bourne will bring plenty of experience to the Cardinals, his third NFL team. The 30-year-old veteran has 4,265 career receiving yards in his nine NFL campaigns. He spent the 2025 season with the Niners, catching 37 of 53 targets for 551 yards and no touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (eight starts). Bourne had back-to-back 142-yard games in Weeks 5 and 6 in 2025 to highlight his return to the Bay Area. A move to the desert and the rebuilding Cardinals won't be ideal, though. Expect Bourne to be competing for the WR3 role in Arizona behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson, who should command the vast majority of aerial targets from veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett. In 12-team leagues, Bourne should be left to the waiver wire to open the 2026 season.

Jalen Tolbert News

Can Jalen Tolbert Find Fantasy Relevance in a Wide-Open Dolphins Receiver Room?

Saturday, June 20, 6:01 AM

After four up-and-down seasons with the Cowboys, wide receiver Jalen Tolbert signed a one-year, $1.4 million deal with the Miami Dolphins, and after spending 2025 behind one of the league's top tandems in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, he now finds himself in arguably the most wide-open receiver room in the NFL. Tolbert's 49 receptions in 2024 are the highest single-season total of any wide receiver on Miami's roster, topped only by running back De'Von Achane, who has averaged more than 72 catches per year over the past two seasons. The Dolphins spent heavily on the position in the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell in the third round before taking Kevin Coleman Jr. in round five, but Tolbert's versatility could allow him to carve out an early role in a room rounded out by Tutu Atwell and incumbent Malik Washington. On average, no Dolphins receiver is going earlier than round 18 in 2026 drafts, with Tolbert ranked as RotoBaller's WR91. While history would suggest at least one player will outperform ADP, a true fantasy ceiling is still capped in what projects to be one of the league's lowest scoring offenses, and Tolbert will be difficult to trust anywhere outside of best ball formats.
