The Miami Dolphins selected Texas Tech WR Caleb Douglas in Round 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Douglas boasts an enticing combination of size and athleticism. He’s 6’4, 206 pounds with a 4.39-second 40 time, registering a 9.50 Relative Athletic Score. Those gifts never resulted in big college production, though. Douglas totaled just 21 catches across his freshman and sophomore seasons at Florida before transferring to Texas Tech. He finished second on the team in catches (60), receiving yards (877), and TDs (6) in 2024 but averaged a middling 2.00 yards per route. Douglas’ production and efficiency declined this past year. He posted a 54-846-7 line on 1.77 yards per route – 35th among the 49 WRs invited to the Combine. Douglas is a legit vertical threat and flashes plus ball skills. But his hands are inconsistent and can get pushed around by physical CBs. There’s enough here to keep Douglas on the fantasy radar, but he’s a long shot to emerge as more than a spike-week, best-ball target.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. He officially didn’t practice all week, but it sounds like he ramped up his rehab work. Lamb should have a chance to make it back for Week 7, but we’ll keep you updated on his progress. WR KaVontae Turpin (foot) is also out for the Panthers game, leaving Jalen Tolbert and Ryan Flournoy as the No. 2 and 3 WRs.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. He did rehab work off to the side throughout the week and is "progressing well,” HC Brian Schottenheimer said. We’ll see if Lamb can make it back for Week 6. Dallas will also be without WR KaVontae Turpin (foot) on Sunday. That leaves WRs Jalen Tolbert and Ryan Flournoy behind George Pickens. Expect Pickens and TE Jake Ferguson to dominate targets again.

Monday has delivered a slight range of outlooks on the return timeline for Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb. The wideout did suffer a high left ankle sprain in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Bears, and he's now expected to miss at least the next two games.

The Steelers are expected to finalize a trade today that will send WR George Pickens to the Cowboys. Josina Anderson reports Pittsburgh will get a 2026 third-round pick and a late-round pick swap in 2027 (Steelers sixth-rounder for Cowboys fifth-rounder). Pickens turned 24 in March and heads into the final year of his rookie contract.

The Saints have agreed to a deal with WR Brandin Cooks, according to NFL Network. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that it's a two-year deal worth $13 million. That's a surprising amount for the current version of Cooks. DeAndre Hopkins and Mike Williams, for example, each signed one-year deals worth about $6 million with their new teams this offseason.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks led the team in targets (8), receptions (4), and receiving yards (52) with WR CeeDee Lamb out for Sunday's loss to the Eagles. All three marks also set season highs for Cooks. TE Jake Ferguson (5), WR Jalen Tolbert (4), and WR/RB Kavontae Turpin (4) trailed him in targets.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Eagles. The team is still deciding whether Prescott will go on IR, which would cost him at least four games. QB Cooper Rush will make his first start this weekend since 2022. He owns a career 60.0% completion rate and 6.5 yards per attempt. While not the worst backup in the world, Rush is obviously a significant downgrade from Prescott for Dallas’ offense.

Cowboys WR/RB/return specialist KaVontae Turpin finished a surprising second on the team in targets for Sunday's lopsided loss to the Lions. That was a little deceptive, though, as Turpin drew 4 of his 7 targets after QB Cooper Rush stepped in for Dak Prescott.

Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert went off for 7 catches, 87 yards, and 1 TD in a Week 5 win over Pittsburgh. Tolbert surprisingly led the team in all major receiving categories.

The Cowboys have placed WR Brandin Cooks on IR for his knee infection. The issue seems likely to keep him out for just the required four weeks, but we'll watch for updates on his situation. He'll be eligible to return for a Week 10 home date with the Eagles.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks will miss Sunday night's game vs. the Steelers and might be out beyond that due to a knee infection, ESPN's Todd Archer reports. Cooks had a procedure on the knee after the Week 4 win over the Giants and subsequently developed an infection.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson suffered a left knee injury in the Cowboys Week 1 game against the Browns. It initially looked like it could be season-ending, but further testing revealed that Ferguson only sprained his MCL. This is approximately a 1-4 week recovery for Ferguson.

Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert has been working as the Cowboys No. 2 WR behind WR Brandin Cooks with WR CeeDee Lamb not participating. Tolbert is heading into his third season and is building a rapport with QB Dak Prescott.

Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports that WR CeeDee Lamb plans to hold out when Cowboys training camp opens Wednesday. Lamb and the team have been working on a contract extension but have yet to work anything out.

The Cowboys have given WR Michael Gallup permission to seek a trade, according to The Dallas Morning News' Calvin Watkins. Watkins adds that Gallup is unlikely to find much of a trade market because other teams expect Dallas to release him. That would save the Cowboys $9.5 million in 2024 cap space. Gallup has totaled just 842 yards on 11.5 yards per catch in 31 games since tearing an ACL late in the 2021 season. He ranked 77th out of 80 qualifying WRs in 2022 yards per route and then 70th out of 80 last year. We'll see where Gallup lands, but there's little reason to be optimistic for his 2024 fantasy value. His departure would leave opportunity in Dallas for WR Jalen Tolbert -- although we'd expect the Cowboys to add to the position in free agency and/or the draft.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Bills. He should be available for his usual role. WR Jalen Tolbert (illness) is also active.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (illness) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bills. He only got in a limited practice on Wednesday. Guys almost always play through illness, so we’re expecting Cooks to be out there this weekend. But we’ll look for further updates on his status. WR Jalen Tolbert (illness) is also questionable.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) is not expected to play vs. the Jets today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Reportedly dealing with a sprained MCL, Cooks did not practice all week. His absence will elevate Michael Gallup to the No. 2 WR role -- and likely Jalen Tolbert to No. 3. Neither guy is an exciting fantasy play against a stingy Jets secondary.
