Jeff Hafley on Dolphins rookies Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas being listed as Week 1 starters:

"We believe those guys deserve to start, and we're gonna start them."

Said there's no pitch count on Chris Bell

Related Players: Malik Washington, Caleb Douglas, Jalen Tolbert

Removing the pitch-count concern gives Bell a legitimate opportunity to play a full complement of perimeter snaps immediately. His NFL debut, abbreviated preparation and Miami’s unsettled passing-game hierarchy still make him a bench stash rather than a Week 1 starter. The news further narrows Tolbert’s path to meaningful snaps.

Chris Bell says he’s working to get into football shape, but…"I'm going to be ready Game 1. I'm going to be ready." - Bell.

Bell’s path to a meaningful role remains open in Miami’s unsettled receiver room, but his conditioning makes an immediate early-season breakout less likely. Washington and Douglas currently offer safer paths to September snaps, while Bell remains a late-round upside stash.

Trade: Dolphins traded WR Tutu Atwell back to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for RB Jarquez Hunter, sources tell ESPN.

Atwell gives the Rams a familiar situational deep threat but remains unlikely to command enough volume for redraft relevance.

As for Miami, Atwell’s departure strengthens the roster cases for Tolbert, Douglas, and Bell. Hunter’s strong preseason gives him an opportunity to compete with Wright and Gordon behind De’Von Achane, though it doesn't shift anything for fantasy managers at the moment.

Dolphins first (unofficial) depth chart is out:

- Caleb Douglas listed as a starting WR

Related players: Malik Washington, Chris Bell, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell

The Dolphins don't have household names at WR heading into this season and for those of you who have done dynasty league drafts, you may not be shocked to see Douglas listed as a starter. Douglas was picked after Bell this past spring but has been a popular later-round target in dynasty drafts since the NFL Draft. Yes, we are still a few weeks away from the start of the season and depth charts don't mean a whole lot, but in this case, given the buzz around Douglas much of the offseason, there could be something to this.

Jeff Hafley reaffirms the Dolphins’ patient approach with rookie WR Chris Bell

He said they don’t want to rush him back to a point where he suffers a setback early in his career. Still not establishing a timeline for his return.

“But he looks good though, right?”

Bell has generated plenty of fantasy buzz, but his extended absence is costing him valuable opportunities to establish a role in an unsettled Dolphins receiver room. Hafley’s positive assessment is encouraging, though Bell will remain more of a deep league late-round upside selection until Miami provides a return timetable and he begins receiving consistent practice reps.

Malik Washington is clearly Malik Willis #1 target in the Miami Dolphins offense at this time

Schad added they had a great connection on display this morning at camp. It's worth noting because someone will need to catch the ball for the Dolphins this season, despite missing a big-time WR name on the roster. Schad added Washington could end up the 1A or 1B when Bell is back, but either way it seems Washington should be poised for a big role in the offense.

The Cowboys ruled out WRs CeeDee Lamb and KaVontae Turpin, as well as starting G Tyler Booker and T Tyler Guyton for Sunday's game vs. the Jets.

It should be the Pickens/Ferguson show once again, as they both project as top-5, volume-based plays at their respective positions. There is at least some hope for Lamb returning in Week 6, so managers can breathe a sigh of relief.

Cowboys not ready to make calls until after practice on status of injured guys like Tyler Guyton, Tyler Smith, KaVontae Turpin. "We've got to figure out a number of guys," Brian Schottenheimer said. CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Booker will miss second straight game.

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said on that CeeDee Lamb has a high ankle sprain.

The post went on to say Lamb said after the game yesterday that he’d be able to play next Sunday, but Jones made it sound like they’re gonna wait and see how the week goes before determining that. We all know by now we can't trust a player when it comes to his playing status. Lamb's ankle injury didn't look good, especially if you happened to see the still images on social media. But it's at least some good news that Lambs thinks he can play. However, owners should probably prepare to be without him at least for Week 4. The Cowboys play the Sunday night game at home against the Packers in Week 4.

The Cowboys are shutting down CeeDee Lamb for the final two games. From the team:

"Additional examinations and scans this week on CeeDee Lamb’s shoulder have determined that his injury has now progressed to a point that he will be listed as "Out" for the remaining two games of the season.

"He will undergo a process of treatment and rehabilitation for his shoulder, is not currently expected to require surgery and is projected to make a full recovery."

Cooper Rush will be left with an interesting cast of characters here; none of which should be plugged into Championship lineups unless you're in a wildly deep league.
