Dolphins | Darren Waller working to get ready for opener Sat Aug 30, 01:28 AM

Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller said he will be working a lot with QB Tua Tagovailoa next week so he can knock some rust off after sitting out the 2024 season. 'Just getting reps, getting time under tension, knowing how he's getting the ball off when he hits his drop,' Waller said. 'What that looks like for me, whip my head around and having that ball come in which I felt like was a great start today. It's just time, just continuing to grind at it and those things start to become second nature.'

Footballguys view: Waller came out of retirement to join the Dolphins, and with his injury history we look at him as a low-end TE2. His target share will be dictated by his health and availability. Plus, Waller could see less work if both WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are at full strength.

Dolphins | Malik Washington has earned QB's trust Fri Aug 29, 05:06 PM

Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington said he spent the offseason trying to earn the trust of QB Tua Tagovailoa. 'If he invites me somewhere, I'm going to show up because I know that he values that and I also value that as well, so trying to build that connection in the offseason,' Washington said.

Footballguys view: Washington could soak up some of the Jonnu Smith short targets that set up run after catch opportunities and don't allow defenses to tee off on Tua Tagovailoa. He should be on your PPR waiver wire watch list and could end up being fantasy relevant this year if the Dolphins deal Tyreek Hill during the season.

Dolphins | Cam Smith on NFI list Fri Aug 29, 05:06 PM

Miami Dolphins CB Cam Smith (illness) was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list Thursday, Aug. 28.

Footballguys view: Smith was a 2023 second round pick. He has failed to develop under two different defensive coordinators and was beat out by Storm Duck this summer. He's probably on the roster bubble. The Dolphins secondary was completely overhauled this offseason and they added JuJu Brents and Rasul Douglas in recent days as an admission that the current group isn't going to get it done. Daniel Jones and the Colts passing game could start hot vs. Miami next week.

Dolphins | More on running back additions Thu Aug 28, 04:06 PM

Updating a previous report, free-agent RB Jeff Wilson Jr. (49ers) and RB JaMycal Hasty (Patriots) were signed to the Miami Dolphins practice squad Thursday, Aug. 28.

Footballguys view: Wilson is back with the Dolphins, and he fits the system. With his speed and three-down ability, Fantasy GMs in super deep leagues should monitor his situation. If injuries strike at the position, Wilson is the type of veteran the Dolphins could turn to.

Dolphins | De'Von Achane sits out Thu Aug 28, 01:41 PM

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 28.

Footballguys view: Dolphins GM Chris Grier told reporters Achane is expected to play in Week 1 against the Colts. He's a speed back, so a calf injury could slow him down a bit. However, the Dolphins continue to express confidence in his status and availability. Let's circle back next week to see what Achane's practice status is.

Dolphins | Two RBs added in Miami Thu Aug 28, 11:34 AM

Free-agent RBs JaMycal Hasty (Patriots) and RB Jeff Wilson Jr. (49ers) signed an undisclosed deal with the Miami Dolphins Thursday, Aug. 28.

Dolphins | Jaylen Wright out a few weeks Thu Aug 28, 11:29 AM

Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (leg) had surgery that will keep him out until 'Septemberish,' according to head coach Mike McDaniel.

Footballguys view: Devon Achane will lead the way on the ground for the Dolphins, and with Wright missing time it opens the door for rookie Ollie Gordon. Wright is not going to miss the season, but he may struggle to earn playing time if Gordon looks good (and he's flashed this summer).

Dolphins | Tyreek Hill good for Week 1 Thu Aug 28, 09:58 AM

Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (oblique) looks 'great for Week 1,' according to head coach Mike McDaniel.

Footballguys view: Hill was out of action for the preseason and most of training camp. The Dolphins will likely have Hill on the injury report next week, but we're expecting him to be a full participant at some point before Week 1.

Dolphins | De'Von Achane ready for Week 1 Wed Aug 27, 10:46 AM

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) will be ready for Week 1, according to general manager Chris Grier.

Footballguys view: Achane should be out there in Week 1 against the Colts, and that means he's going to be practicing next week. The Dolphins have expressed full confidence in Achane's availability, but we'll see what his practice status is like in about a week. Fantasy GMs are taking Achane off the board at RB7, going at some point in the second round.

Dolphins | Miami trims roster down Tue Aug 26, 04:53 PM

Dolphins | Jason Sanders expected to miss a month Mon Aug 25, 03:56 PM

Miami Dolphins PK Jason Sanders (hip) is dealing with a hip injury which might sideline him four to five weeks, according to head coach Mike McDaniel, but it isn't a season-ending injury.

Footballguys view: McDaniel plans to bring in kickers for tryouts this week. We'll follow up as needed.

Dolphins | Jason Marshall Jr. closing in on starter job? Mon Aug 25, 03:53 PM

Miami Dolphins CB Jason Marshall Jr. might be in line for the starting nickel corner job, although head coach Mike McDaniel wouldn't commit to that Monday, Aug. 25, even after veteran CB Mike Hilton was cut.

Dolphins | Ollie Gordon II could be in line for big role Mon Aug 25, 03:49 PM

Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II might be in line for a sizeable role in the offense for Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts, as head coach Mike McDaniel conceded that RB Jaylen Wright (leg) is unlikely to be ready for the regular-season opener.

Footballguys view: While Wright will likely be the No. 2 behind De'Von Achane when available, Gordon is an ideal fit for the offense. Travis Wingfield of MiamiDolphins.com has been impressed, telling us Gordon is a player fantasy investors can get late in drafts and stash for our playoff runs. "Gordon could be a huge part of the offense, especially in scoring situations," Wingfield said. Gordon is being drafted as RB61 in Round 16.

Dolphins | Jaylen Wright unlikely for opener Mon Aug 25, 03:45 PM

Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (leg) is unlikely to be available for the Week 1 game against the Indianapolis Colts, head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday, Aug. 25. He indicated a return in the near future after that is possible.

Footballguys view: With Achane sidelined, and with Alexander Mattison on injured reserve after suffering a season-ending neck injury, Miami planned to lean on Wright, who had struggled this exhibition season, averaging 1.5 yards per attempt on 13 carries. With Wright injured, the door was open for rookie Ollie Gordon II to handle the tailback workload in the final preseason game. He carried the ball eight times for a team-high 43 yards against the Jaguars on Saturday. This is a situation worth watching, especially if Wright is slow to recover.

Dolphins | Aaron Shampklin released Mon Aug 25, 11:52 AM

Miami Dolphins RB Aaron Shampklin was released Monday, Aug. 25.

Dolphins | Ollie Gordon II leads rushing attack Sun Aug 24, 01:54 PM

Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II rushed eight times for a team-high 43 yards in the preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars Saturday, Aug. 23.

Footballguys view: De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright are hurt and Alexander Mattison is out for the season. Gordon is the de facto leader of the Dolphins backfield, and he should play a big role in Week 1 against the Colts even if Achane and Wright are ready to play. Gordon belongs on your late round target list after a good first camp that will result in a role for the rookie sixth round pick.

Dolphins | Malik Washington finds the end zone Sun Aug 24, 01:54 PM

Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington caught all three of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars Saturday, Aug. 23.

Footballguys view: Jaylen Waddle and De'Von Achane are the mostly likely players to inherit the short targets vacated when Jonnu Smith was traded, but don't discount Washington, who is very good after the catch. He should play a role in the offense and be on your radar in deep PPR and deep dynasty leagues.

Dolphins | Good news for De'Von Achane Sun Aug 24, 12:30 PM

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) has not experienced any setbacks from his calf injury and is expected to resume practicing before the season opener, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.

Footballguys view: That's a relief for Achane and his fantasy teams. We'll be monitoring the reports about upcoming practices for any setbacks or issues, but as long as there are not any, he should be good to go for Week 1 lineups. Sixth round pick Ollie Gordon II is set to back him up and maybe take short yardage work with Jaylen Wright week-to-week with a leg injury and Alexander Mattison out for the season.

Dolphins | Jaylen Wright to miss some time Sat Aug 23, 11:34 PM

Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (leg) is 'week to week' with a leg injury, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.

Dolphins | Ollie Gordon II could challenge for for backup role Fri Aug 22, 02:24 PM

Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II could challenge Jaylen Wright for the team's RB2 role, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques.

Footballguys view: Gordon has had as good a summer as Wright's has been bad, culminating with Wright getting hurt this week. The Dolphins should be in the market for a running back with De'Von Achane also hurt and Alexander Mattison going down for the season earlier in camp. If you're going to take a Dolphins back late right now, it's Gordon, but that's subject to change.

Dolphins | Jaylen Wright injured in joint practice Thu Aug 21, 03:45 PM

Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (undisclosed) suffered an apparent injury during joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, Aug. 21.

Footballguys view: The Dolphins may be looking for running back help. There are rumblings they could be front-runners for Brian Robinson (Commanders). Stay tuned.

Dolphins | Kenneth Grant day-to-day Thu Aug 21, 01:20 PM

Miami Dolphins DT Kenneth Grant (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day because of an injury, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.

Dolphins | Darren Waller activated Wed Aug 20, 11:45 AM

Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (undisclosed) was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Wednesday, Aug. 20, and he will practice for the first time.

Footballguys view: The Dolphins have a joint practice with the Jaguars on Thursday, so Waller should be out there. We don't yet know what his role will be and if Waller will be able to stay healthy for most of the year. At this time, Fantasy GMs should look at him as a TE2 with upside.

Dolphins | Darren Waller's return still uncertain Mon Aug 18, 03:38 PM

Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (undisclosed) is still on the Reserve/Injured list, and head coach Mike McDaniel said there is no timetable for his return.

Footballguys view: Waller, who turns 33 next month, was acquired by the Dolphins in a July trade with the New York Giants. The veteran tight end is returning from retirement after sitting out the entire 2024 NFL season. Miami placed Waller on the PUP list at the start of training camp. We'll continue to watch for more, but with Waller being drafted as TE28, he has a lot to prove before being viewed as fantasy relevant.

Dolphins | De'Von Achane likely to sit out this week Mon Aug 18, 03:37 PM

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) is not expected to practice this week because of his calf injury, and head coach Mike McDaniel said the plan is to have Achane ready for Week 1.

Footballguys view: As Miami Herald Omar Kelly noted, calves are typically viewed as tricky injuries, especially for players who rely heavily on their speed, such as Achane, because it could lead to other strains. With Achane sidelined, Miami will likely lean on Jaylen Wright, who has struggled this exhibition season, averaging 1.5 yards per attempt on 13 carries, and rookie Ollie Gordon II to handle the tailback workload in the final preseason game and during the practices that lead up to the regular-season kickoff. We'll be watching this one closely as Week 1 draws nearer.

Miami Dolphins DL Zach Sieler (undisclosed) is dealing with an unspecified injury, and he did not play in the preseason game against the Detroit Lions on Saturday, Aug. 16. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Sunday, Aug. 17, that Sieler would be assessed back in South Florida. However, he seemed optimistic Sieler would be ready for Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts.
