Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa will serve as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback in Week 16 with QB Zach Wilson being the primary backup during the game, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.
| Footballguys view: Quinn Ewers gets to start in Week 16 against the Bengals. The Dolphins have gone with a run-heavy offense while Tagovailoa has been struggling. Expect that to be the case with the rookie QB Ewers getting the start. |

Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers was named the starting quarterback for Week 16 as QB Tua Tagovailoa has been benched.
| Footballguys view: Tagovailoa has been one of the most inefficient quarterbacks in all of football, so it's no surprise (especially after that game against the Steelers) this move is being made. There's a whopping $56.4 million cap hit in 2026, so Tagovailoa is likely sticking around whether or not he's starting. Ewers is a seventh-round pick (2025) out of Texas, and he looked good in the preseason. Expect a run-heavy offensive gameplan, which is something they've been doing recently anyway. |
Tua Tagovailoa player page
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said, 'Everything is on the table,' when asked about considering a change at the quarterback position from Tua Tagovailoa.
| Footballguys view: Tagovailoa was 6-of-10 for 65 yards and an interception through the first three quarters of Monday's 28-15 loss in Pittsburgh. He threw a pair of touchdowns and padded his stats once the team was down 28-3 in the fourth quarter, but the overall performance was a disappointing one, and the loss ended the Dolphins' chances of making it to the postseason. McDaniel said that he will spend the coming hours "trying to determine who gives us the best chance to win" and said he expects to have a decision on Wednesday. Zach Wilson and Quinn Ewers are the other quarterback options in Miami. |

Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller had seven receptions, 66 yards, and a pair of touchdowns in a Week 15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was targeted a game-high eight times.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Waller led the team in receptions and targets, and he was just a yard behind De'Von Achane for the team lead in receiving yards. Waller also was on the receiving end of both of Tua Tagovailoa's touchdown passes, recording six- and 13-yard scoring grabs in the fourth quarter. Waller has been productive and displayed a knack for the end zone on the rare occasions he's been healthy this season, and he'll head into a highly favorable Week 16 home matchup against the Bengals. |

Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II (ankle) left the Week 15 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second quarter due to an ankle injury. He is questionable to return.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (ribs) is expected to play in Week 15's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.
| Footballguys view: Against the Steelers on Monday night, Achance could post big numbers (again). He's an RB1 from a fantasy perspective, even with this ribs injury. This will come down to pain tolerance and protection to get Achane through the contest without setback. |
The Miami Dolphins signed CB Isaiah Johnson to their active roster from the practice squad Friday, Dec. 12.

Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (non-injury) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12.
| Footballguys view: 33-year-old Waller gets plenty of rest days thanks to his veteran status. He and Greg Dulcich have both seen a healthy number of snaps over the past week, but limited overall usage keeps them in the touchdown-or-bust streaming tier. |

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (ribs) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12.
| Footballguys view: After Achane exited last week's game with a rib injury, Mike McDaniel said, "He was hurting, but he was available to come back in the game in an emergency." Achane has since practiced twice, albeit in a limited capacity, and is expected to be ready for Sunday. Fantasy managers should plan to place him in their flex spot while keeping a Monday-night pivot option on hand if needed. |

Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (ribs) practiced on Thursday, Dec. 11.
| Footballguys view: The game against the Steelers is on Monday night, so we've got some time to see if Achane can get a full practice sometime before Sunday. We'll be watching Achane's status intently, and Saturday is the last day they'll release a report. Achane is an RB1 for Fantasy GMs as per usual. |
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (ribs) is limited in practice Thursday, Dec. 11. 'It'll be a gradual increase in activity and physicality,' head coach Mike McDaniel said.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (rib) underwent an MRI on the rib injury he suffered during the Week 14 game, and it did not show any serious issues. He may miss some practice time this week but seems to have a good chance to play in Week 15.
| Footballguys view: As The Sporting News suggests, one of the best dual-threat running backs should be good to go going forward. Achane has 193 carries for 1,126 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. He's caught 55 of 73 targets for 383 yards and four touchdowns. Still, it's worth noting Jaylen Wright saw the bulk of the touches after Achane's injury, finishing with 107 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries. We'll monitor Achane's status this week, but Wright should be a waiver priority for this week's game at Pittsburgh. |

Link to storyMiami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle registered five receptions for a team-best 50 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Week 14 against the New York Jets.
| Footballguys view: Thankfully Waddle scored early in this game, because the Dolphins once again leaned on the running game in their fourth consecutive win. Consider him a high ceiling WR3/Flex next week against a Steelers secondary that lost track of Zay Flowers a few times in Week 14. |
Jaylen Waddle player page
Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II ran five times for 17 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the New York Jets, while he was not targeted in the passing game.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright rushed 24 times for a career-high 107 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the New York Jets, and he did not have a reception on three targets in place of the injured RB De'Von Achane (rib).
| Footballguys view: It sounds like Achane will be able to play next week, but Wright is still worth a pickup if bench size allows with the Dolphins running game clicking. He has supplanted Ollie Gordon as the backup and finally showed promise for dynasty teams that have been holding him. |
Updating a previous report, Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (rib) left the Week 14 against the New York Jets due to a rib injury, but head coach Mike McDaniel said Sunday, Dec. 7 that Achane was available to re-enter the game in the event of an emergency, but he never felt the need to risk it. McDaniel confirmed there was no fracture to the ribs. 'You worry about breaks. That takes time. Didn't see that, but he'll get treatment,' McDaniel said, 'He was available to go back in the game. I just decided not to put him in.'
| Footballguys view: This is the good news you were looking for if you have Achane. Jaylen Wright is still worth a pickup in all leagues, but it sounds like you'll be able to play Achane next week at Pittsburgh in the first round of many fantasy playoff brackets. |
