Jalen Tolbert

Miami used three 2026 draft picks on wide receivers (Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell in Round 3, Kevin Coleman in Round 5), signaling the front office isn't betting on Tolbert long-term even though he currently sits ahead of all three on the depth chart.

Tolbert's target share never cleared high single digits in his final Dallas season (6% on the year, and 0-4% in three of his last four games), so even a clearer role starts from a very low production floor.

Miami's WR room lost both of its top options this offseason, and Tolbert enters as WR2 behind Malik Washington and ahead of three rookies; fringe-role movers with his prior usage profile have historically posted meaningfully higher floors and steadier week-to-week usage after landing a defined role.

Tolbert has a pre-existing relationship with Malik Willis, reportedly a factor in the signing, which could help him earn early trust in the passing game as Miami's offense resets around a new starting QB.
