Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson (ribs, finger) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final Week 7 injury report. He’s seemingly in line to make his 2023 debut vs. the Eagles on Sunday night, although Wilson still needs to be activated from IR. Considering how well RB Raheem Mostert has played, we’d be surprised if Wilson played a big role out of the gate. He’s not a strong Week 7 fantasy play but is certainly worth stashing on benches.

Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson (ribs, finger) put in a full practice on Wednesday. That should have him on track to make his 2023 debut vs. the Eagles on Sunday night. It's tough to imagine Wilson stealing a ton of work out of the gate from RB Raheem Mostert, who's been awesome so far this season. But we'll keep a close eye on Wilson's role. He's worth stashing in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey is "far ahead of schedule" in recovering from his August knee surgery. Ramsey could reportedly start practicing as early as this coming week. Pelissero says the team plans to "ramp him up gradually." But getting onto the field anytime soon would put Ramsey on track to beat his initial return expectation by a lot. We'll watch for more on his return.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill piled up 163 yards and 1 score on 6 catches in Week 6. His 10 targets marked a 32.2% target share. Hill scored yet another long-range TD, this time from 41 yards out. Four of his six total catches went for 20+ yards. Hill left the game in the second half with cramping, but he ultimately returned. He’ll remain the WR1 next Sunday against a banged-up Philly defense.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert busted off 115 yards and 2 scores in a Week 6 win over Carolina. Miami fell behind 14-0 in the 1st quarter, but Mostert responded with two scores over the next two quarters – both inside the five yard-line. Remember that Miami entered this one without RBs Jeff Wilson and De’Von Achane. Carolina also profiled as a bottom-barrel run D, so this result was far from a surprise for Mostert. He’ll face a much stiffer test next Sunday night at Philly.

Buccaneers Edge Shaq Barrett (illness) is active for today's game against the Lions. He's a lower-level IDP option, though.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill pulled up with a left hamstring issue in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. It's unclear if he's injured or cramping. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: The Dolphins say Hill is questionable to return due to cramps. Good news.

Update: Tyreek Hill has returned to the game.

Dolphins Edge Jaelan Phillips (oblique) is active for today's game against the Panthers. He missed the past two contests and indicated during the week that he wasn't sure whether he'd be ready. Don't be surprised if he plays a smaller snap share then usual. But there's plenty of upside to make him worth a slot in IDP lineups. Edge Andrew Van Ginkel -- who has seen playing-time boosts in Phillips' absence -- remains an upside play for this contest as well.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (knee) is expected back when first eligible in Week 11. On IR, Achane is out for the next four games, and Miami has a Week 10 bye. The rookie is worth keeping stashed in all fantasy leagues.

Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson (ribs, finger) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. He put in three limited practices this week, so we'll see if he's ready to make his 2023 debut next weekend vs. the Eagles. RB Raheem Mostert should handle the majority of Miami's backfield work tomorrow.

Buccaneers Edge Shaq Barrett is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions after missing the past two days of practice with an illness. We haven't seen anything on his expectations for Sunday, so we'll check his status ahead of kickoff.

Dolphins Edge Jaelan Phillips (oblique) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Phillips managed limited practices all week, which is also what he did last week before entering the game questionable and going inactive. We'll check his status Sunday morning.

Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson (ribs, finger) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. He put in three limited practices this week, so he shouldn't be far from making his 2023 debut. Wilson's absence this weekend will leave RBs Salvon Ahmed and Chris Brooks behind Raheem Mostert. Mostert should control the backfield work in a dream matchup against Carolina's 29th-ranked RB defense.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel called RB De'Von Achane's knee injury a sprain but wouldn't give any additional details on Wednesday. McDaniel did say that placing Achane on IR "wasn't a black-and-white decision," which would seem to suggest that Miami doesn't expect the rookie to miss more than the four games required for players on IR. We'll look for more information on Achane's timeline for return, but he's worth keeping stashed on fantasy benches right now.

Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson (ribs, finger) was officially limited in Wednesday's practice. We'll see how he progresses over the next couple of days and whether he'll be ready to play vs. the Panthers this weekend.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (knee) has been placed on IR. He'll miss the next four games vs. Carolina, Philadelphia, New England, and Kansas City. Miami then has a Week 10 bye, so Week 11 is the earliest we'll see Achane again. We're still waiting for details on his knee injury and whether he'll be ready come Week 11. Considering how awesome Achane was over the last three weeks, he's worth keeping stashed in all fantasy leagues.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with the knee injury he suffered against the Giants, according to multiple reports. The rookie is a candidate for IR, though the team reportedly hasn't decided on that yet. We'll watch for more specifics on that front. ESPN's Adam Schefter adds that Miami is expected to get RB Jeff Wilson Jr. back at practice this week. He has been on IR with hand and rib injuries. Wilson's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has long said his client would return to the field when eligible. That window opened in Week 5.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Monday they hadn't decided yet whether to open the 21-day practice window this week for RB Jeff Wilson Jr., according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. A separate report had agent Drew Rosenhaus saying Wilson would be activated from IR (hand, ribs) this week. We'll see what Miami decides.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that RB De'Von Achane is being evaluated for a knee injury, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. We'll certainly be waiting for more details on this situation -- and passing them along as soon as they're available. Miami RB Jeff Wilson Jr. is eligible to come off IR at any time and is expected to start practicing this week.

Falcons TE Jonnu Smith hauled in six of seven targets for 67 yards in the Week 5 win over the Texans. And that came despite TE Kyle Pitts having his best game of the season. Smith tied WR Drake London for second on Atlanta in catches and ranked third behind Pitts and London in targets and yards. He benefitted from the Falcons running 74 plays and throwing it 38 times, but Smith registered a solid 18.4% target share. He's now tallied 6+ targets and 4+ catches in four straight games. Next up is a Washington defense that just got smoked by the Bears. Smith will be in the TE1 discussion for that one.
