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 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. |

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. |

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. |

Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (rib) left the Week 14 game against the New York Jets in the first half due to a rib injury, and he is considered questionable to return. He went to the locker room while walking under his own power. He had seven rushes for 92 yards and a touchdown, while posting a 13-yard reception on his only target, before departing.
| Footballguys view: Achane has been amazingly consistent during a rocky season for the Dolphins. He has to be a common player on fantasy playoff rosters, and after Mike McDaniel said that he was available to return but kept out because of the game script, Achane will likely be ready to go for Week 15 fantasy playoff matchups. |

Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Waller was limited early in the week with a couple of veteran rest days, but he should be a full go this Sunday against the Jets. His volume hasn't been significant, but he's offset that lack of usage with efficiency and touchdowns. He's in the streaming tier this week. |
