I know and you also know what the depth chart looks like right now on June 14th, 2026. Veteran signings WR Jalen Tolbert (Cowboys) and WR Tutu Atwell (Rams) along with Dolphins veteran Malik Washington take up the 3 top spots on the depth chart. I feel like that will be short lived, and by short lived, I wouldn’t even be surprised if it didn’t even make it to the season’s start. You have to understand where I’m coming from. In no way am I inferring that this team isn’t going to try and win, but there’s also no pressing need to win immediately. Wins and losses won’t be the determining factor of the success or failure of this team. Expectations are very low, and therefore, there simply is no pressure to win games. What that translates to my mind, is we also don’t need to give up playing to two WR’s (Tolbert and Atwell) who are both on 1 year contracts over giving our young WR’s a much needed learning experience of the playing against NFL talent and the speed and physicality of the game.
Is it possible that before Week 1 of the ’26 NFL Season that our depth chart still has Tolbert and Atwell at the top? Sure, but I wouldn’t bet on it lasting all too long. We drafted two Wide Receivers in RD 3, although one of them (Chris Bell) will likely start the season either on IR/Return or the PUP list, WR Caleb Douglas will be given every chance to earn playing time and potentially even start. Depending on how the Dolphins choose to use WR Malik Washington, who is probably better suited as a slot WR, they did also draft in the 5th RD slot WR Kevin Coleman. Washington is a very shifty guy who can get open but he’s a diminutive WR at 5’8 195. Washington can play outside as well, but his strengths are more tuned to catching passes closer to the line of scrimmage and then use his quick burst and change of directions skills like a RB to make defenders miss. We saw an awful lot of that last season with Tua to Washington.
If WR Malik Washington does play in the slot, then it’s even more likely that WR Caleb Douglas will be given lots of opportunities to get playing time. We have training camp and then of course the preseason for Douglas to open some eyes. WR Kevin Coleman will too, and depending on how far along WR Chris Bell is with his rehab, maybe him as well. WR Chris Bell was injured November 22, 2025, so I would tend to think the Dolphins will be careful with him and as I mentioned previously, he’ll either start the season on IR/Return or the PUP list. I also like WR Theo Wease, who got a little playing time at the end of the season with QB Quinn Ewers, when Ewers replaced the beloved Tua at QB. Not beloved by me, mind you, but by some of you. Anyway, Wease flashed some ability and he’s one of a few Dolphins WR’s with some size. Wease is 6’2 210, Douglas is 6’3 205, and Chris Bell is 6’2 220. I don’t know about you guys and gals, but I’d love to have a big bodied wide receiver or two to give teams with smaller corners a difficult matchup. I understand that we have a good receiving TE in Greg Dulcich, but it’s nice to have options. QB’s seem to always find a guy or guys that they trust, they kind of develop this bond and just have this special chemistry and they end up looking their way when they need a big catch. It seemed like Ewers and Wease had that early on, but I’m sure QB Malik Willis will find his own guys soon enough.
Impossible to say how many Wide Receivers we will carry on the opening day roster, but the roster crunch, as well as being cautious once again points to WR Chris Bell not being available early on so another player can occupy his roster spot. It’s likely we’ll be carrying 3 TE’s on the roster, Dulcich, Kacmarek and Traore. I’d expect 9-10 players on the O-line, Paul, Proctor, Brewer, Savaiinaea, Jackson, Salyer, Heck, Campbell and maybe even Kion Smith. Congratulations to C Aaron Brewer who was given a nice new extension 3YR/$52.5M. He earned it with an excellent 2025 season. The unknowns on the right side, namely RG Jonah Savaiinaea and RT Austin Jackson will necessitate keeping a few guys at the ready. Savaiinaea because he was flat out awful, and Jackson because he can’t stay on the field, missing 20 games over the previous 2 seasons. I’d expect us to carry 3 or 4 running backs, or 3 running backs and a fullback. FYI, the Green Bay Packers did not employ a FB, but this isn’t the Green Bay Packers offense either per se. We’ll see how that situation evolves during camp and the preseason, or maybe we won’t. I do think we should get at least a vague idea if we will utilize a FB at all though. What are your thoughts on the WR room? BTW, we do actually have a comments section here. 🙂
GO DOLPHINS!!!

WRs only have to be as good as the situation you put them in
If we can run the to the tune they stack the box, our WRs can be avg, if we can’t run the ball well enough our O will be bad, until we do
at times with Hill and Waddle and no running game the O was stagnant, with a running game these WRs will perform above expectancy
they’re going to have to be good enough to make plays with a stacked box. 3rd downs, with no threat of the run could be an issue, unless Malik can perform some magic
what I think will happen is the OL will be good enough, that we’ll be a good running team, but not dominant, and the WRs will have to perform above avg to make our O a top 16 unit. The WRs will get a boost from Malik buying time and running, and it will factor into them looking better than they are.
good write as usghe mike e , and congrats on the Knicks win, you may have Danhausen to thank for that. ( may have to look that one up )
LOL – Never heard of him, but he’s a character for sure!
also happy to finally have some height and hopefully skill in the wr room
Thank you, Mike E. all the way from Samara, CR!
Our WR unit was gutted for a reason, a few diminutive reasons…lol. Glad we’re bigger and hopefully badder…lol.
Thanks Toba, Krishna! Enjoy Costa Rica Krishna!
Very happy the Knicks pulled it out. I love the detractors of what the Knicks accomplished, all these excuses like they played no one, the best teams were eliminated, the Spurs choked, blah blah blah. Suck it bitches! The best team WON! GO KNICKS!!!
Lol….glad your basketball team won (truly), but completely disagree with you about Wemby.
Wemby is an elite talent, and I liked him before this series, but his immaturity showed many times. He was pretty dirty this series and last.
Can’t comment on the dirty, as i didn’t see it in the examples….homer talk, imo.
Wemby is young and learning the game here.
A few here still believe team building has to do with finding stars (partially true as it’s a talent acquisition business). But, when “stars” aren’t about the team (cough, cough..THill and Tua) how can you possibly expect to WIN?
You can’t! Is it possible that some of the draft picks that were passed over on “your” list didn’t measure up as a “team” player?
Mike E,
I’m considering going to the parade, you?
Not a chance Bri! First fucker that I see with a Palestinian flag or a Keffiyeh shouting anti-Jew shit is getting decked, which means I’m getting into a brawl, which probably won’t end well. I’ll have to pass. lol
Krishna , what about Wemby do you disagree with me on?
That he’s dirty….
If you’re not sure, just watch any of the playoff series. If he wasn’t a great player and the best player on his team, he would have been suspended with all the flagrant fouls he committed, and one he almost committed but missed. Before he even got to the Knicks series he had one brutal flagrant foul, a very dirty elbow. What he may have been during the regular season is not what he was in the Playoffs. The league bent over backwards not to call those fouls on him so he wouldn’t miss any time, which is understandable up to a point, but it also empowered him to be as dirty as he pleased with no ramifications which is never a good thing
