Douglas has the perfect storm of an open competition at receiver against minimal veteran talent. It'll make him decent as far as late-round fliers in deeper redraft leagues go, but he'll especially garner attention late in every keeper league and with a top-20 pick in rookie-only drafts. Standing at 6-foot-3 and 206 pounds, the third-rounder out of Texas Tech is a solid route runner with really good change-of-direction skills and juke moves. He's not as physical as you might like, and he's more of a strider than a speedster, but he's a two-year starter whose experience in a spread offense should translate cleanly into what the Dolphins could do in 2026. Even if he goes undrafted in seasonal formats, don't be surprised if he ends up being a bye-week option this year.

Dolphins' Caleb Douglas: Dealing with minor injury
Rotowire
Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said Thursday that Douglas "tweaked something" during Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Hafley doesn't expect the injury to be a long-term concern. Taken with the 75th overall pick this year, Douglas joins a WR room that's widely viewed as the weakest in the league. He'll thus have a chance to compete for immediate playing time if he's back to full strength before training camp. With 4.39 speed, at 6-foot-4, 206 pounds, Douglas could have some value to Miami's offense even if he's just running clear-out routes.

Dolphins' Caleb Douglas: Picked by Dolphins
Rotowire
The Dolphins selected Douglas in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 75th overall.
Douglas (6-foot-4, 206 pounds) was a decent enough player at Texas Tech, where he went over 800 yards each of the last two years, but he wasn't productive in his two years at Florida before that, and he never really broke out the way an athlete like him should. Douglas' 4.39 speed on his big frame should have made him a dominant collegiate receiver, but instead he was just a solid one. This pick would have been an easier sell in the fifth round instead of the third.
