Can Anyone Stand Out For Fantasy Football Among The Miami Dolphins WRs?

Ian Hartitz breaks down the Miami Dolphins wide receivers, and if any can be worth drafting for fantasy football.

It says something about the complete teardown in Miami that the Dolphins' highest-ranked WR may miss the start of the season while recovering from a torn ACL in his final year in college. In fact, it's a running back who is projected to lead the team in targets. No matter how special De'Von Achane is, a wide receiver should be the top target on just about any team outside of Arizona and Las Vegas 

Is this the worst WR room in the history of football?

Yes. Moving on …

OK, fine. We'll break down the NFL's cheapest WR room and attempt to say *one* nice thing about each party while being fully aware that you, a scholar, should generally not be going out of your way to draft anyone involved with what projects as the least-productive passing "attack" in the league:

Malik Washington: The pint-sized (5-foot-8, 195 pounds) jitterbug joins Broncos WR Marvin Mims as the only two players with at least one rushing, receiving and punt return touchdown over the past two seasons.

Chris Bell: Could have perhaps pushed for Round 1 treatment if not for his November torn ACL. You can squint and see A.J. Brown upside here thanks to Bell's combination of size (6-foot-2, 225 pounds) and speed (in-game GPS tracked him at low 4.3 per Jordan Schultz). Bell's film against Miami in 2025 (9-136-2) was one of the better single-game performances of the entire season.

Caleb Douglas: The Texas Tech product finds himself with one of the better RAS (relative athleticism score) in the class thanks to his combination of size (6-foot-3, 206 pounds) and speed (4.39-second 40-yard dash). 

Tutu Atwell: Averaged an NFL-best 32 yards per reception last season … minimum 5 receptions.

Jalen Tolbert: Was one half of the most improbable completion of 2025, according to Next-Gen Stats. What a catch!

Kevin Coleman: Has received some serious camp hype, with Sports Illustrated's Alain Poupart dubbing Coleman as "the second-most impressive wide receiver of the spring behind Washington." 

Terrace Marshall: Caught 23 touchdowns in his last 19 games at LSU … back in 2019 and 2020.

Washington is the best bet to lead the group in targets, but there's also a chance that the leading receiver from this room works as the de facto No. 3 pass-game option considering De'Von Achane and Greg Dulcich's respective receiving ability. Everyone else (Douglas and Bell) are little more than literal last-round darts in best ball land, although I do like investing in Bell longer term in dynasty land. He's a priority second-round pick for me in rookie drafts.
