Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
Now in Miami on a one-year deal, he profiles as the most experienced body in a room stacked with three drafted rookies, which could earn him early snaps under a coaching staff that values proven hands. But a Malik Willis-led offense and a projected five-target ceiling keep him firmly in deep-PPR flier territory. Treat him as a late-camp watch, not a draftable asset. Full outlook

Jalen Tolbert Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR118 last season at 3.6 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 1 game he's WR163 at 0.0 PPR points per game, against 3.6 over 13 games last season (WR118). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 100th of 142 in target volume (5.6% target share), 95th of 142 in downfield role (8.0% air-yards share) and 123rd of 142 in efficiency (0.80 yards per route run). Efficiency is the soft spot. Malik Willis is his quarterback.
He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Tolbert's 2025 was a step backward across the board: a 51.3% snap rate, a 5.6% target share, and just 18 catches for 203 yards and a single score over 12 games left him at WR116. The volume erosion is stark next to his 2024 breakout, when he ran routes on 79.8% of snaps, drew 79 targets, and turned a 12.7% share into 610 yards and seven touchdowns on a 50.6% success rate and 0.319 EPA per play. The 2025 efficiency cratered too, with yards per route run sliding from 1.14 to 0.80.
Now in Miami on a one-year deal, he profiles as the most experienced body in a room stacked with three drafted rookies, which could earn him early snaps under a coaching staff that values proven hands. But a Malik Willis-led offense and a projected five-target ceiling keep him firmly in deep-PPR flier territory. Treat him as a late-camp watch, not a draftable asset.
