Five WR targets Dolphins should consider after Tyreek Hill release

Free Agency

Jauan Jennings ( San Francisco 49ers)

Jennings has emerged as a solid, physical receiver with strong hands and solid route running. He's a reliable chain-mover who could thrive in the slot or outside. At 28 years old, he offers good value as a WR2/3 without elite price tags. The hiring of Bobby Slowik as offensive coordinator, whose system prioritizes route running, efficient passing and attacking defenses vertically to create mismatches, makes him a smart under-the-radar target to bolster depth.

Wan'Dale Robinson ( New York Giants)

Robinson excels as a slot specialist with YAC ability and reliable hands, perfect for keeping the chains moving. At just 25, he's young enough to grow alongside Waddle and Washington, providing a high-floor option in the slot. His gadget potential could add versatility without demanding top-tier money. 

Rashid Shaheed ( Seattle Seahawks)

Shaheed stands out as one of the most intriguing wide receiver options for the Dolphins in the 2026 free-agency period, especially following the release of Tyreek Hill. At 27 years old, Shaheed brings elite speed, big-play ability and special teams value that could help replicate some of the explosive elements the Dolphins lost with Hill's departure. Shaheed could land as a WR2 with WR1 flashes, potentially on a 2-3 year deal in the $10M-$15M range.

NFL Draft

Denzel Boston ( Washington)

Boston frequently projects in the late first to early second, fitting perfectly if Miami stays put or trades back for extra capital. The class depth means talented receivers like him can be available without reaching, and his traits address Miami's need for bigger, more physical targets to complement Waddle. He's a smart, value-driven pick for a team with cap flexibility to pair draft youth with free-agent additions. Overall, he's strong in jump-ball situations, contested catches and fade routes, providing a vertical/red-zone threat.

Malachi Fields ( Notre Dame)

If the Dolphins choose to wait until Day 2 to draft a wide receiver, Fields would be the ideal selection. He's a classic boundary X receiver who brings physicality and strong hands at the catch point. This would create excellent schematic balance alongside Waddle and any free-agent additions, such as Shaheed.
