| Footballguys view: Waddle was targeted early and often by Quinn Ewers last week. In Week 17 against the Buccaneers, we like Waddle as a WR2. |

Miami Dolphins WR Dee Eskridge (toe) left the Week 16 game against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a toe injury. Head coach Mike McDaniel said he still needed more information on Eskridge's prognosis, so his status for Week 17 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers remains unclear.

Miami Dolphins OG James Daniels (pectoral) is unlikely to play in the final two games of the regular season, head coach Mike McDaniel indicated Monday, Dec. 22. He suffered a pectoral injury in Week 1, and he has been on the Reserve/Injured list ever since.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins S Minkah Fitzpatrick (calf) is still considered week-to-week ahead of the Week 17 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to head coach Mike McDaniel on Monday, Dec. 22. While the coach isn't optimistic about Fitzpatrick playing Sunday, he said 'there's a reason why we haven't shut him down.'

Miami Dolphins WR Theo Wease caught two passes for 32 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He was targeted four times during the game.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins TE Darren Waller caught three passes for 40 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He was targeted five times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Waller's start against the tight end-challenged Bengals defense was highly awaited after his big garbage time performance against the Steelers last week. This week, new starting quarterback Quinn Ewers spread the ball around and Waller split the tight end production with Greg Dulcich, so he wasn't a strong Week 16 play. Waller will only be a desperation play for Week 17 against Tampa. |

Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich caught three passes for 46 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16 but did lose a fumble during the game. He was targeted three times during the game.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle caught five passes for 72 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He was targeted nine times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Waddle ended up being a solid PPR play with a rookie third string starting quarterback. The matchup against the Bengals defense helped, but Waddle showed enough with Quinn Ewers throwing the ball to be in fantasy championship lineups against the Bucs next week. |

Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II rushed for negative one yard on one carry against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins WR Malik Washington rushed for nine yards and one touchdown on one carry against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He also caught one pass for 23 yards during the game.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright rushed for 35 yards and one touchdown on nine carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He also caught one pass for 18 yards during the game.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane rushed for 81 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He also caught three passes for nine yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: The quarterback switch to Quinn Ewers didn't affect Achane's fantasy bottom line. He had an early 48-yard touchdown run against a suspect Bengals run defense to key yet another RB1 level fantasy stat line. The Bucs run defense was stout against the Panthers in Week 16, but Achane will surely be in a lot of fantasy championship lineups as the lone bright spot during a rough season for the Dolphins offense. |
Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers went 20-for-30 for 260 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He also rushed for five yards on two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: One of the interceptions was tipped by a defender and the other was a 50-50 ball for Jaylen Waddle. The Dolphins did score three touchdowns on offense, but all came on running plays. Ewers was better than some of the other unlikely Week 16 starting quarterbacks and will be a live desperation QB2/Superflex play against the Bucs in Week 17. |
Miami Dolphins WR Dee Eskridge (toe) suffered a toe injury during the Week 16 game and has been ruled out.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel appears likely to return to the organization for 2026, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. He had signed a contract extension in August 2024 which runs through the end of the 2028 season.
| Footballguys view: A few weeks ago it was reported that some believed McDaniel was saving his job with the recent winning streak, and it appears they were correct. There have also been reports that we should not expect Tua Tagovailoa to play for the Dolphins again, so this is setting up an interesting open-ended question of who the Dolphins quarterback will be next season. |

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 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. |
