Miami Dolphins Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) has been activated from IR and remains on track to start Sunday morning's game vs. the Jaguars in London, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's a plus matchup -- but Tagovailoa will be without WRs Will Fuller (finger) and DeVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder).

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. Washington. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, although HC Andy Reid said Hill was "bouncing around pretty good" in Friday’s workout. We’ll look for an update on Hill on Sunday morning and will get his game status around 11:30 am ET.

Dolphins HC Brian Flores confirmed that QB Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) is on track to start Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars, barring a setback between now and then. We wouldn't trust Tagovailoa in starting lineups outside of 2-QB leagues, but he should be an upgrade over QB Jacoby Brissett for Miami's offense.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. His availability for this weekend's game vs. Washington is now in some doubt. We'll see if he practices on Friday and then how he's listed on the final injury.

Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports that the 49ers don't expect to get RB Jeff Wilson Jr. back from the PUP list until late November. Wilson has been out since summer with a knee injury.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill did not practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with a quad injury, rather than the previously reported knee. Hill is expected to be fine for Sunday's game vs. Washington, but his status is certainly worth monitoring over the next few days.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) will practice on Wednesday, HC Brian Flores said. “We’re excited to have him back," Flores added. Tagovailoa seems to be trending toward returning for Sunday's game vs. Jacksonville, but we'll keep you updated on his status.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) has been activated from IR. It makes him eligible to return for Sunday's game against the Jaguars but doesn't necessarily mean that he will. We'll track Tagovailoa's progress over the next few days.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill is not expected to miss time with the knee injury he suffered in Sunday night's loss to the Bills, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. We'll track Hill's practice participation this week, but expect him to be out there for Sunday's game vs. Washington.

Dolphins HC Brian Flores said Monday that he's "hopeful" QB Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) can return to practice this week. Tagovailoa is eligible to come off IR for Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars, but this makes it sound like he's not a lock to be ready for that one. We'll monitor Tua's status throughout the week.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said after Sunday night's loss to the Bills that WR Tyreek Hill came away with a knee injury. We'll watch for more details on that situation this week, as the start of the issue wasn't obvious during the game.

Jets TE Tyler Kroft (back) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. Ryan Griffin will step in as New York’s lead TE but isn’t a fantasy option.

11:34am EDT 10/3/21

Jets TE Tyler Kroft (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. With 6 catches on 9 targets through 3 weeks, he’s not a viable fantasy play.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) is expected to be ready to play when he's eligible to come off IR in Week 6, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. QB Jacoby Brissett was serviceable in last week's overtime loss to the Raiders and will start vs. the Colts today and the Bucs next week. But a healthy Tagovailoa should be an upgrade over Brissett the rest of the way.

The Bills have ruled S Jordan Poyer out for Sunday's game against the Texans. He sprained an ankle in the Week 3 win over Washington but appeared to be fine by the end of the game. That was clearly not the case, as Poyer missed practice all week. Bills CB Taron Johnson (groin) is questionable for the game. We'll check his status Sunday morning.

Jets TE Tyler Kroft (ribs) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Titans. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so he should play. But hopefully you have a better fantasy option.

Jets S Marcus Maye is expected to miss the next 3-4 weeks with an ankle injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jarrod Wilson looks like the next man up, though the Jets are also getting S Ashtyn Davis back from IR this week. We'll see about the replacement plan at safety.

Jets TE Tyler Kroft was knocked out of Sunday's loss to the Broncos with a rib injury. We’ll look for an update on his situation on Monday

The Dolphins are placing QB Tua Tagovailoa on IR for his fractured ribs. That means he'll miss at least the next 3 contests. The team reportedly hopes to get the QB back for Week 6. Until then, it's Jacoby Brissett ... which means it's also time to queue up fantasy defenses playing against Miami. That's the Raiders this week, then the Colts and Buccaneers. If Tagovailoa makes it back for Week 6, he'd get a nice pair of matchups with Jacksonville and then Atlanta.

Broncos OLB Bradley Chubb had surgery Wednesday to remove a bone spur from his left ankle. He's expected to need 7-8 weeks to recover but plans to play again this season. While he's on IR, expect Malik Reed to get primary playing time opposite Von Miller. Reed is an upside matchup play for sack-friendly IDP scoring formats while he's in the lineup.
