Tutu Atwell Emerges as Top-Three Receiver in Miami

Tuesday, August 4, 10:47 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tutu Atwell emerged from spring practices as one of the team's top three options alongside Jalen Tolbert and Malik Washington, according to ESPN. Atwell signed with Miami in March after five seasons with the Los Angeles Rams and is coming off a 2025 campaign in which he caught six of 15 targets for 192 yards and one touchdown in 10 games. The opportunity is real in a wide-open receiver room, as Washington's 317 receiving yards were the most any current Dolphins wideout produced last season. Atwell's standing is far from secure, however. Rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman Jr. remain close behind, while Jalen Reagor, Tahj Washington, and Theo Wease Jr. are also competing for work. Chris Bell could eventually challenge for a leading role once he is activated from the non-football injury list. Atwell has a path to early snaps in Malik Willis' offense, but the crowded competition and his limited recent volume make him only a late-round consideration in deeper fantasy leagues.

Tez Johnson Still Has a Path to More Work

Saturday, August 15, 10:58 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson made enough noise early in camp to stay interesting, even after a groin strain interrupted his momentum. Johnson caught 28 passes for 322 yards and five touchdowns as a seventh-round rookie, and Tampa Bay's own camp coverage called him one of the early standouts this summer. Baker Mayfield has shown trust in him, and Johnson made plays both underneath and down the field before getting hurt. The issue is opportunity. Chris Godwin Jr., Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan still sit ahead of him in the receiver pecking order, with Johnson listed behind Godwin on the current depth chart. Mike Evans is gone, which clears one major name from last year's crowded room, but the groin strain interrupted Johnson's push for more work. RotoBaller has him at WR110 in half-PPR. That's deep-league territory, and it should be. Still, five touchdowns as a rookie and the way he opened camp make him worth keeping in mind late if the injury doesn't linger.
