Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Waller could serve as a primary target for Quinn Ewers, who is making his first NFL start. The Bengals have been vulnerable to opposing tight ends this year, giving Waller appealing upside. However, he ranks as our TE17 this week, placing him at the back end of the streaming discussion. |

Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Gordon's fantasy relevance has evaporated as Jaylen Wright has steadily become more involved. He's droppable in most formats and only worth a stash in dynasty leagues. |
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (ribs) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Achane played through an injury last week and practiced despite it leading up to this game. He is a high-end RB1 this week against the Bengals, even with Quinn Ewers starting. |
Miami Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks (foot, knee), S Minkah Fitzpatrick (calf) and CB Isaiah Johnson (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 18.

Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: The rookie has been a good reserve for the Dolphins this year when healthy. He's got the capability of giving the team quality reps as a backup to De'Von Achane. In fact, Gordon can get it done near pay dirt and might sneak into the end zone against a soft Bengals defense in Week 16. |
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (ribs) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: Great news for the Dolphins and Fantasy GMs here. With Quinn Ewers in at quarterback, expect them to have a run-heavy gameplan. Against a soft Bengals defense, Achane is a must-start RB1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |
Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 18.

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 LB Matt Judon was released Wednesday, Dec. 17.

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. |

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. |
