The Dolphins' "expectation and hope" is that WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) will be back for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, CBS' Tracy Wolfson said on SiriusXM on Monday. Hill seemed relatively close to playing vs. the Jets yesterday, so it tracks that he has a good chance to return for Week 16. We'll keep you updated on his status throughout this week.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle went off for 8 catches, 142 yards, and 1 score in Sunday’s blowout win over the Jets. His score came on a well-thrown deep ball from Tua Tagovailoa. Waddle briefly left with a chest injury but returned to easily pace Miami in all major receiving categories. Of course, an inactive Tyreek Hill helped. We’re guessing Hill returns for Week 16 vs. Dallas, putting Waddle back in the WR2 mix.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle suffered an apparent chest injury on the first drive of Sunday's game vs. the Jets. He made his way off the field and into the blue medical tent. We'll update his status when we know more.
Update: Waddle returned later in the first quarter.
Dolphins S Jevon Holland (knees) and CB Xavien Howard (hip) are inactive for today's game against the Jets. With S DeShon Elliott (concussion) also out, that leaves Miami down three of its top four DBs. It's tough to trust QB Zach Wilson for fantasy production, but the setting looks excellent for WR Garrett Wilson at least. Edge Andrew Van Ginkel (oblique) is active after entering the day questionable.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s safe to assume that he’ll be playing at far less than 100% today. Miami could really use Achane with WR Tyreek Hill out, though. Consider the rookie a risk/reward RB2 play in fantasy lineups.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) is INACTIVE for today’s game vs. the Jets. He tried to give it a go but evidently didn’t feel well enough in pregame warmups. Hill’s absence removes 30% of Miami’s targets, 32% of the catches, 41% of the receiving yards, and 48% of the receiving TDs. It’s obviously a huge loss for QB Tua Tagovailoa, who is not a must-start against this tough Jets defense. The Dolphins figure to lean more on their run game today, while WR Jaylen Waddle and potentially the RBs get a boost in target share.
The Dolphins are not expected to decide on WR Tyreek Hill's status for Sunday's game against the Jets until pre-game warmups, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Hill will ultimately determine whether he's healthy enough to play, Schefter adds. Miami, of course, still has lots to play for. And Hill is gunning for a 2,000-yard season. So it wouldn't be surprising to see him push to play. We'll keep you updated on the situation.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (toe) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jets. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. HC Mike McDaniel called Achane’s availability an “unknown” on Thursday, so the rookie is seemingly in legitimate danger of missing this one. We’ll get Miami’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
Dolphins S Jevon Holland (knees) is questionable for the third straight game. He missed the past two contests. But this week marked the first time in that span that Holland managed limited practices every day. He told reporters Friday only that he's "day to day," "taking his time," and "coming along nicely," according to Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post. We'll check Holland's status Sunday. It'll matter even more after Miami ruled out S DeShon Elliott with a concussion. S Brandon Jones should get his third straight start. Elijah Campbell stepped in after Elliott left last week's game. Missing both starting safeties would obviously make Miami's defense more vulnerable, especially a week after arguably the best game of Jets QB Zach Wilson's career. The Dolphins have also deemed CB Xavien Howard (hip) and Edge Andrew Van Ginkel (oblique) questionable. Howard missed one practice before returning to limited work Thursday and Friday. Van Ginkel was limited each day. We'll check their statuses Sunday morning.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Jets. He didn't practice all week. "It's his career," HC Mike McDaniel said Friday. "When we talk, this is what will happen... If he's confident he can be himself and I have the support of the trainers, he will play. If it's not, he won't." We'll look for further updates on Hill and get Miami's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Hill would be tough to keep out of fantasy lineups if he ends up playing, but his floor and ceiling will obviously be depressed.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (toe) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. HC Mike McDaniel called Achane's status for this weekend's game against the Jets an "unknown." We'll see if he practices tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report.
The Dolphins listed WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report. We don't expect Hill to practice much, if at all, this week after spraining his ankle in Monday night's loss to the Titans. But we're tentatively projecting him to play against the Jets this weekend.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (toe) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday. It's an estimated injury report because Miami didn't actually practice. Still, this is a new injury and one we don't have any other details on right now. We'll see if Achane is able to practice on Thursday.
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel labeled WR Tyreek Hill "day-to-day" with the ankle injury he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Titans. McDaniel wouldn't commit to Hill playing vs. the Jets this weekend but said, "he's given me only reason to be confident in his ability," per insider Adam Beasley. Considering Hill returned to the Titans game, we'd be surprised if he didn't play this Sunday. The question is how big a factor that ankle will be. We'll keep a close eye on Hill throughout the week.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert racked up 21 carries for 96 yards and two TDs in Monday night's loss to the Titans. He played 64% of Miami's offensive snaps and tripled up RB De'Von Achane in carries. Mostert has now carried 20+ times in three of his last four games. The other was the blowout win over the Commanders when he barely played in the second half. Miami gets tough pass defenses in the Jets, Cowboys, and Ravens the next three weeks. All three of those teams rank better in pass defense DVOA than rush defense DVOA. So we could see the Dolphins lean a bit more toward the run -- especially with WR Tyreek Hill banged up. Mostert needs the rushing volume (and TDs) because he's totaled just five targets over his last four games. That lowers his weekly floor. But the rushing volume has been strong enough to keep him in must-start territory.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa failed to throw a TD in Monday night's loss to the Titans for the first time this season. He completed 70% of his passes but for just 240 yards. His 7.3 yards per attempt was his fourth-lowest mark of the season. Miami's usually machine-like offense looked out of sync right from the start of this game. C Connor Williams left early with an injury, joining LT Terron Armstead on the sidelines. Tagovailoa also lost WR Tyreek Hill for more than a quarter with an ankle injury -- and Hill was clearly at less than 100% when he eventually returned. We'll keep an eye on all of these injuries this week. Tagovailoa also has a difficult schedule to contend with the rest of the way: vs. Jets, vs. Cowboys, at Ravens. It's the toughest remaining QB schedule, according to our adjusted fantasy points allowed. Tagovailoa looks more like a low-end QB1 -- and not a must-start -- over these final three weeks.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is questionable to return to Monday night's game vs. the Titans with an ankle injury. He went down awkwardly after a catch near the end of the first quarter. Hill was down for a bit but eventually sprinted off the field. He's remained on the sidelines but doesn't have his helmet. Stay tuned for an update.
Update: Hill returned midway through the third quarter.
Dolphins S Jevon Holland (knees) is inactive for tonight's game against the Titans. Brandon Jones should get a second straight start in his place. He posted just 5 tackles (4 solo) in the Week 13 win over Washington but added a QB hit. That came on Jones' only pass-rushing attempt so far this season, though. So he's not a strong bet for production in that category.
Seahawks LB Jordyn Brooks (ankle) is active for today's game against the 49ers. He carries some risk after managing just one limited practice this week. But Brooks is available for IDP lineups if you planned to use him.
Dolphins S Jevon Holland (knees) is questionable for Monday night's game against the Titans. He managed limited practices Friday and Saturday this week. Holland got in just one limited practice in Week 13 before missing that game. We'll check his status Monday. Brandon Jones would fill in if Holland can't go.
