Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (knee) is likely to be released and designated a post-June 1 cut, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques, who writes it remains "unclear" when he'll be able to return after dislocating his knee. Louis-Jacques adds that this would be the "most fiscally reasonable solution."
Huddle Up: Hill has been hugely productive in his NFL career, but he posted a modest 81-959-6 line in 2023 (his worst since an injury-shortened 2019 campaign), and will turn 32 in March. Hill, an undersized wideout whose game is built around his speed, will need to prove he hasn't lost a step coming off a devastating knee injury.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is not expected to return on his "current deal," in the opinion of ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques, who writes that trading Tagovailoa "will be tricky" based on his level of play and money remaining on his contract. Louis-Jacques adds that the Dolphins could "sweeten" any trade package for their quarterback by "including a draft pick."
Huddle Up: With a new GM and new head coach in place, Tagovailoa is indeed likely headed elsewhere for 2026. How much he would be of interest to fantasy owners is dubious, however, after his role was marginalized under former head coach Mike McDaniel prior to his benching. We'll see where he lands, but between his injury history and recent production, the lefty is likely to be a late-round curiosity, at best.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa indicated that he is open to playing for a different team next season.
Huddle Up: Tagovailoa was benched late in the season and is unlikely to be the starting quarterback for the Dolphins next season. There is a good chance that he starts for a team next season, but fantasy players can monitor the situation. He will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in fantasy leagues if he starts in 2026.

Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington had three receptions for six yards and a touchdown on four targets in Week 18 against the New England Patriots, and he ran twice for 22 yards.
Huddle Up: Washington could have a role in the offense in 2026, but there is likely to be a lot of roster turnover in South Florida this offseason. If he is able to settle in as the No. 3 receiver for the Dolphins, he could have fantasy role, but we aren't even sure who the quarterback will be at this point, and if he is even on the team yet. Stay tuned.

Miami Dolphins WR Theo Wease Jr. posted three catches for 44 yards on five targets in Week 18 against the New England Patriots, leading the team in receiving for the second straight week to close out the season.
Huddle Up: Wease came out of nowhere to put up some decent stats. He'll likely have a chance in the offseason and training camp to earn a role on the 2026 roster, but with free agents and draft picks, it remains to be seen what the wide receivers' room will look like.
Posted 1/05/2026 4:32 am GMT
Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II rushed nine times for just nine yards in Week 18 against the New England Patriots, while adding one reception for two yards on a target.
Huddle Up: Gordon appears to be a piece of the puzzle in Miami, making up a solid running backs' room with De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright. Unless he moves up the depth chart to at least serve as the primary backup, Gordon would only have minimal fantasy appeal in 2026.
Posted 1/05/2026 4:28 am GMT
Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright rushed 13 times for just 23 yards in Week 18 against the New England Patriots, while adding two receptions for 17 yards on two targets.
Huddle Up: Wright finished up strong, and he looks a tremendous backup option to De'Von Achane heading into 2026, assuming the team doesn't make any personnel changes such as a draft pick or veteran free agent to supplant Wright. He'd be a decent RB4 or flex fantasy option, or a handcuff to Achane, if things stay the way they are.
Posted 1/05/2026 4:24 am GMT
Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers (knee) completed 16-of-23 passes for 137 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 18 against the New England Patriots, while running for a yard. He suffered a knee injury late, and said Sunday, Jan. 4 that he would need further evaluation of his knee injury when the team returns home.
Huddle Up: Ewers got a long look down the stretch for Miami, as they evaluate him and try to determine if he is the future, or a veteran free agent or draft pick is needed at the position. Ewers did OK, but the jury is still out. We'll see if the Miami brass saw things differently.
Posted 1/04/2026 8:01 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ribs) has been declared inactive for the Week 18 game.
Huddle Up: Malik Washington and Theo Wease may be the main receivers for the Dolphins with Waddle unavailable. Both receivers can be a possible flex options in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/04/2026 7:50 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) has been declared inactive for the Week 18 game.
Huddle Up: Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II should each receive carries in the running game with Achane sidelined. Wright can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues since he probably will see a majority of the carries, bur Gordon could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues.
Posted 1/02/2026 5:11 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ribs) is questionable for Week 18 against the New England Patriots.
Huddle Up: If Waddle can't go, Theo Wease Jr. caught a 63-yard touchdown last week and could be worthy of a flex play. If Waddle goes, he's a low-end WR3 option. He's the WR41 in PPR over the last five weeks.
Posted 1/02/2026 5:06 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) didn't practice Friday, Jan. 2.
Huddle Up: He hasn't been ruled out, but head coach Mike McDaniel said that players that don't practice Friday typically don't play. Jaylen Wright rushed five times for 56 yards last week and will be a flex candidate against the New England Patriots.
Posted 1/02/2026 5:04 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (groin) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Jan. 2.
Huddle Up: Waller had a 24-293-6 line in nine games. If he returns next season, he'll be a TE2 option with some TD upside when he's healthy.
Posted 12/31/2025 10:27 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (groin) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can monitor the situation over the next few days to see if Waller will be able to return to the field and play in the regular season finale. He will see a few targets if he plays but can be avoided in most leagues.
Posted 12/31/2025 10:22 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ribs) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Huddle Up: Waddle was injured in the last game, so fantasy players will need to see if he is able to practice later in the week. He is the main option in the passing game when healthy and will be a starting option in leagues if he is active for the game.
Posted 12/31/2025 10:19 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Achane returns to practice and is able to play in the Week 18 game. He is one of the better running backs in the NFL and will be a starting option in all leagues if active.

Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller didn't gain a yard on his only catch in a 20-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17.
Huddle Up: Waller has just four catches in the two games that Quinn Ewers has started, and fellow tight end Greg Dulcich has been the more consistent player at the position for the last several weeks. Waller has become a touchdown-dependent TE2.
Posted 12/29/2025 2:29 am GMT
Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich caught five of his six targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in a 20-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17.
Huddle Up: Dulcich has topped 40 receiving yards in four straight games, and he has eight catches on nine targets in Quinn Ewers' two starts. Dulcich could be viable TE2 in the season finale.
Posted 12/29/2025 2:25 am GMT
Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington caught one of his three targets for four yards in a 20-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. He also gained one yard on his only carry.
Huddle Up: Washington has a total of three catches for 37 yards over the last three games, and he simply isn't seeing enough work to warrant fantasy consideration.
Posted 12/29/2025 2:15 am GMT
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle failed to catch his only target in a 20-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. He also added one carry for seven yards.
Huddle Up: After being a popular target for Quinn Ewers last week, Waddle was an afterthought in Ewers' second start. With two completely different results for Waddle in two games with Ewers, it is going to be tough to trust Waddle in the season finale.
Posted 12/29/2025 2:06 am GMT
Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright rushed five times for 56 yards in a 20-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17.
Huddle Up: Wright has emerged as effective backup to De'Von Achane in recent weeks, and while he isn't seeing enough work to be a fantasy starter, he is setting himself up to be a must-own handcuff.
Posted 12/29/2025 1:59 am GMT
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane rushed 18 times for 83 yards and caught three passes for 29 yards in a 20-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17.
Huddle Up: Achane is one of the more explosive backs in the league, and the move to Quinn Ewers at quarterback hasn't changed much for Achane. He will try to cap a strong season on a high note against the New England Patriots in the finale.
Posted 12/28/2025 6:54 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (rib) suffered a rib injury during the Week 17 game and is considered questionable to return.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Waddle will be able to return to the game. Theo Wease and Malik Washington will be the main receivers while Waddle is sidelined and could be possible flex option in some leagues.
Posted 12/28/2025 4:51 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has been declared inactive for the Week 17 game but will serve as the emergency No. 3 quarterback.
Huddle Up: Tagovailoa likely will not play again this season unless Quinn Ewers and Zach Wilson suffer injuries. Ewers struggled at times during his first career start last week and should not be a starting option in any fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/26/2025 8:29 pm GMT
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (wrist) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 26, and is not on the injury report for Week 17.
Huddle Up: Waddle has been one of the main targets for the Dolphins passing game for most of the season and should see plenty of targets again this week. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
