Jalen Tolbert

Why not Greg Dulcich? The veteran Miami Dolphins tight end flashed efficiency in the second half of last season after returning from injured reserve in Week 8. The former third-round pick captured a 13.0-percent Dominator Rating and averaged 6.0 Yards After Catch per target on a limited 33-target sample size.

With minimal competition in the Miami receiving room and a healthy offseason under his belt, Dulcich is a clever late-round tight end target. He has volume-based upside as a TE2/TE3 in fantasy football best ball leagues and in particularly attractive in tight end premium formats.

Malik Washington is the most well-positioned veteran receiver in Miami after commanding a 14.4-percent Target Share and running 334 routes in his second season. The dynamic slot weapon possesses elite 97th-percentile college burst, but a 39.2-percent Slot Rate caps his ceiling.

Unless Washington commands targets outside of the slot and forces his way into two-receiver sets, he remains a matchup-dependent WR5 floor play for fantasy managers. Washington is a desperation WR streamer based solely on his role as the defacto WR1 in Miami.

The Miami Dolphins just injected some athleticism into their offense by drafting Caleb Douglas at No. 75, a 6-foot-4 weapon who pairs a 4.39-second 40-yard dash with a dominant 111.0 Speed Score (93rd-percentile). While his 21.0 Breakout Age (37th-percentile) suggests a late-bloomer profile, Douglas is a verified target earner with a 24.7% Target Share and a surgical 118.3 Passer Rating when Targeted that proves he can command high-volume usage while remaining hyper-efficient.

In dynasty formats, Douglas is likely a third-round target in Miami’s rebuild situation, competing for touches with De’Von Achane and Jalen Tolbert.

Let’s go. We all know Sullivan signed dynamic bridge QB Malik Willis to a three-year deal to placate the fans while the team executes a top-to-bottom roster rebuild. Regardless, it is encouraging to see Sullivan go out of his way to express confidence in the quarterback’s playmaking ability and adaptability.

Willis faces tempered fantasy football expectations after Miami jettisoned star playmakers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. The team will be rolling with a first-round rookie WR as well as Malik Washington, Tutu Atwell, and Jalen Tolbert. Miami will also draft a back-up caliber quarterback in 2026 with an eye toward securing a franchise QB in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Willis’ mobility and lack of weaponry will create a fantasy point-rich environment for the fifth-year signal caller. Expect a high scramble rate and numerous designed runs for the newly minted Konami QB. Willis is a strong buy in all fantasy football formats.

Everyone in the NFC East was especially busy during the off-season, except for the Dallas Cowboys, who must have felt pretty confident in their returning roster. One of these returning young players to keep an eye on is WR Jalen Tolbert, who will slide into the the WR3 role after Michael Gallup left to join the Raiders.

Drafted 88th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, Tolbert flashed enough out of college to get Dallas’ attention, despite coming from Southern Alabama. After getting injured and barely playing as a rookie, Tolbert had 22 catches for 268 yds and 2 TDs on 36 targets over 17 games last year. Teammate Brandin Cooks noted Tolbert’s growth when he recently said that “he’s going to crush it” next year. Cooks and CeeDee Lamb should command the majority of Dak’s targets this year, but in this pass-heavy Dallas offense, Tolbert will also get his share of opportunities. He is definitely worth a late-round flyer, especially in best-ball, should he live up to the hype going into year 3.
