The Dolphins placed TE Darren Waller (groin) on IR, knocking him out of Sunday's finale vs. the Patriots. That should mean a boost in routes for TE Greg Dulcich, who's caught 13 balls on limited playing time over the last four games. Dulcich is at least in play in daily tournament this weekend.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller (pectoral) returned from IR to catch 2 of 3 targets for 47 yards vs. New Orleans. Waller’s 69% route rate resembled his pre-injury role.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller (pectoral) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. It’s a boost for QB Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami offense, but Waller would be a shaky fantasy start in his first action since Week 7.

The Dolphins activated TE Darren Waller (pectoral) from IR, putting him on track to play vs. the Saints tomorrow. Waller has been sidelined since Week 7. He scored four TDs in his three full games earlier this season, averaging 4.0 targets, 3.3 catches, and 39 yards per. Waller is worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams, but we'd try not to use him in Week 13 lineups coming off the extended absence.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller (pectoral) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Saints. He was officially limited in practice all week (despite initially being listed as a full participant on Thursday). We’ll look for further updates on Waller and get Miami’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. But Waller would be tough to trust in fantasy lineups in his first action since Week 7.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller (pectoral) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. He seemingly has a legitimate chance to return for this weekend's game vs. the Saints. Waller posted 3-27-2, 5-78-1, and 2-12-1 receiving lines in his only three full games of the season. He'd be a risky fantasy start in his first action since Week 7, but Waller is certainly worth stashing in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.

The Dolphins have placed TE Darren Waller on IR for the pectoral strain that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Browns. That means he'll miss at least the next four games, a span that runs right into Miami's Week 12 bye.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller is considered "week to week" with a strained pectoral suffered in the Week 7 loss to the Browns, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's relatively good news considering a torn pec would have ended Waller's season. We'll look for a more concrete timetable for Waller's return, but he's worth keeping stashed on fantasy benches in most leagues, unless you have another locked-in top-10 TE rostered. Miami doesn't have a one-for-one replacement for Waller, so his absence should push more targets toward RB De'Von Achane and WR Jaylen Waddle.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller suffered a pectoral injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Browns and is questionable to return. He wasn't targeted before exiting. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Waller has been ruled out.

There's a wind advisory in effect in Cleveland until noon ET. The worst of it will be gone by kickoff, but we're still looking at winds around 20 mph with gusts of 30-35 for today's Dolphins-Browns game. There's also likely to be rain during this game. Ugly weather -- and certainly enough to impact the offenses. The over/under on this game has dropped from 39.5 on Thursday to 34.5. That's the lowest for any game this season. Expect both teams to lean more on the run and short-passing games. We'd avoid both QBs and Ks from this game. We've also moved Jaylen Waddle down the Week 7 WR rankings, although he remains in WR2 territory.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller collected 5 catches, 78 yards, and 1 score in Week 5. All of his production surfaced in the first half of a three-point loss at Carolina.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller delivered 3 catches, 27 yards, and 2 TDs in Monday's win over the Jets. Week 4 marked Waller’s 2025 debut.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is believed to have suffered a dislocated knee in Monday night's game vs. the Jets, according to multiple reports. He was transported from the stadium to the hospital to confirm that diagnosis and start getting treatment. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport notes that this injury "often comes with multiple ligament tears." Hill's 2025 season is over, and it's fair to wonder about his football career. He turns 32 in March.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill suffered a gruesome left knee injury in the third quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Jets. Trainers rushed to stabilize the knee in an air cast before Hill was carted off the field. This looks like a season-ending injury, but we'll update Hill's status when we know more. It's a huge loss for the Dolphins offense and will open up considerable target opportunity for WRs Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, TE Darren Waller, and RB De'Von Achane.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller (hip) was left off the final injury report, putting him on track to make his 2025 debut vs. the Jets on Monday night. Waller remained limited in practice all week, though, and is unlikely to play anything close to a full slate of snaps in this one. Waller should not be in Week 4 fantasy lineups.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller (hip) is out for Thursday night's game against the Bills. He got in limited practices this week, potentially setting him up to play Week 4. But Waller will have to show us something before we can even consider him as a fantasy option.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller (hip) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. He remained sidelined in practice all week, so consider him iffy for Week 3. Tanner Conner operated as Miami’s lead TE in the opener, running a route on 58% of pass plays and catching 2 of 4 targets for 20 yards. He’s not a viable fantasy play.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller had a setback with his hip injury before Thursday's practice and is "doubtful" to play vs. the Colts this weekend, HC Mike McDaniel said Friday. It's an inauspicious start for Waller, who came out of retirement to join the Fins in early July. He's not worth rostering outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues. Waller's absence in the opener will just mean more targets for WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and RB De'Von Achane. Julian Hill and Tanner Conner will handle TE duties for Miami.
