Written Sun 12:01 am Central, for week 6
Caleb Douglas sits on a Miami bye in week 6 of 2026, so a roster that has him needs a fill-in from the free agent pool for this week. His next game is week 7 away at the Jets, kicking off Sunday 12:00 pm Central, and he carries a Questionable tag on Sunday's report to track into that week. Miami lists him third at receiver behind Malik Washington and Jalen Tolbert, and he sits at WR122 in our rest-of-season order. Hold him through the bye if you like the upside, otherwise there's nothing here that demands a spot.
Written Oct 17, from his facts through last season
Nine points a game across two appearances is not a small sample of a good season, it is two weeks of a season that stopped in week 2 of 2026. He caught 7 of 10 targets for 113 yards across the first two games of 2026, a workable start, then he has not been on the field since and has carried a Q designation heading into the stretch beyond his bye. On a roster in the weeks after week 5 of 2026, games you cannot fill cost more than the ceiling he flashed in his first one.
The depth chart context matters less than people think while he is hurt, but it frames what he is chasing. He is listed third among Miami receivers behind Malik Washington and Jalen Tolbert, a rookie whose ADP before the season was 164.3, under a brand new staff, with Bobby Slowik calling plays for the first time in this system. Nothing about that spot says a heavy role is coming soon, and Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle took 47% of Miami's targets a year ago before whoever fills that air now.
Our number before the season was 101 points, with the middle of outcomes from 75 to 127, and a 7.8 point a game pace over the 13 games we expected him to play. He was scoring close to that pace when he played. The problem is the games column, which keeps filling with zeros. Keep him if you have a taxi squad or an idle spot, and check whether the Q tag lifts after his bye in week 6 of 2026. If he is still sitting inactive by week 8 of 2026, the empty weeks win and you should spend the spot elsewhere.
