Caleb Douglas

NFL player. Position: WR. Team: MIA.

Quick Facts

Position: WR
Team: MIA (Miami Dolphins)
Bye week (2026): 10
College: Texas Tech

2026 Outlook

Dolphins rookie receiver with freakish physical tools. At 6'3.5" with a 4.39 40-yard dash, Douglas is the fastest and tallest receiver in Miami's wide receiver room (also includes Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, and injured Chris Bell). In college at Texas Tech, Douglas posted 1,723 yards and 13 touchdowns in 27 games (15.1 yards per attempt), with 11 of his 16 touchdowns coming from inside the red zone. Shows strong yards-after-catch ability (5.3 YAC per reception in 2025). Primary concern is ball security—Douglas had six drops last year and has reportedly struggled with drops at OTAs. However, drops are fixable with development and practice. New QB Malik Willis and the lack of established WR threats on the Dolphins roster means Douglas could have Year 1 opportunities. The team has all season to develop chemistry given no playoff pressure expected. (per Fantasy Football Rookie Sleepers)

Role / Depth Chart

Competing for reps in a wide-open Dolphins receiver room. Red-zone production at college level makes him a candidate for meaningful touches in the Dolphins' offense if drop issues improve.

Injury Status

Healthy.
