Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Monday that he's "very optimistic" about the progress WR Jaylen Waddle has made in the concussion protocol. Barring a setback, Waddle should return for Sunday's showdown vs. the Bills.

Dolphins Edge Jaelan Phillips left Sunday's win over the Broncos with an oblique injury. That's a new issue after he missed Week 2 with a back injury. HC Mike McDaniel said afterward that the team trainer "wasn't too worried," according to Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post. We'll see about Phillips' outlook for Week 4.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa was surgical in Week 3, completing 23 of 26 passes for 309 yards and 4 TDs. The Broncos missed a couple of key defenders, but they were simply dominated in this one. And that was with Tua missing Jaylen Waddle (concussion). His scores went to Tyreek Hill, Raheem Mostert, and Devon Achane. A top-3 fantasy QB on the year, Tua travels to Buffalo for Week 4.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert enjoyed a career day against the Broncos. Seeing 20 touches — including a career-high 7 catches — Mostert rolled up 142 total yards and 4 scores. He became the fifth RB in league history with more than one career game of four scores. Denver’s defense essentially didn’t show up in this one, as Miami’s O-line consistently opened up huge holes. The Fins raced out to a big lead and wound up winning 70-20. Devon Achane enjoyed a massive day, too, taking 18 carries for 203 yards and 3 scores, looking explosive in the process. Miami will face a much stiffer test Sunday at Buffalo, but Mostert will remain a strong fantasy option.

Dolphins Edge Jaelan Phillips is active for today's game against the Broncos. He missed Week 2 after hurting his back in Friday practice. But Phillips should return to IDP lineups today.

Dolphins RB Salvon Ahmed (groin) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Broncos. We’ll see how big a role rookie RB De’Von Achane plays, but RB Raheem Mostert figures to handle the majority of the work.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. He had been listed as questionable after returning to a limited practice on Friday, so Waddle is trending toward a Week 4 return. It'll be WRs Braxton Berrios, River Cracraft, Erik Ezukanma, Cedrick Wilson, and Robbie Chosen behind target-hog Tyreek Hill against Denver tomorrow.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (concussion) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. He missed the first two practices of the week but returned to a limited workout on Friday. That means he's made some progress through the protocol -- but still has multiple stages to pass through. We're still not expecting Waddle to play on Sunday but will keep you updated on his status.

Dolphins RB Salvon Ahmed (groin) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He returned to a limited practice on Friday but isn’t expected to play on Sunday. Ahmed’s absence will leave De’Von Achane as Miami’s No. 2 back and lock Raheem Mostert into a big workload.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (concussion) remained sidelined on Thursday. He now looks like a long shot to play vs. the Broncos this weekend. We'll see if Waddle is able to get back on the field tomorrow, but fantasy owners should not plan on having him in Week 3 lineups.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (concussion) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Mike McDaniel said. Waddle still has multiple stages of the protocol to work through and isn't looking like a good bet to play vs. the Broncos this weekend. We'll update his status again tomorrow.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle is in the concussion protocol, according to multiple reports. He left Sunday night's game late for the check. Waddle looks unlikely to be ready for Week 3, but we'll keep an eye on his status.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle exited late in Sunday night's game vs. the Patriots to get checked for a concussion. HC Mike McDaniel didn't have an update afterward. But Waddle was interacting with teammates in the post-game locker room, per ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques. We'll look for more information on Waddle's status and track his practice participation this week.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill was held to 5 catches on 9 targets for 40 receiving yards in Sunday night’s win over the Patriots. Teammate Jaylen Waddle led the team in receiving with 86 yards on 4 catches in the divisional bout. It’s a familiar anecdote that Patriots HC Bill Belichick is good at tailoring a game plan around attempting to shut down an opponent’s most effective playmaker, so fantasy managers should have no reason to go away from Hill looking forward. Both he and Waddle are prime plays in Week 3 vs. the Broncos. This Miami offense has started the year firing on all cylinders.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert racked up 121 rushing yards, including a 43-yard TD, on 18 carries in Week 2 vs. the Patriots. The ageless wonder also added 6 receiving yards on his lone target in the victory. Teammate Salvon Ahmed contributed 6 touches of his own before a groin injury took him out of the contest, though this backfield was more or less the Mostert Show for the second game in a row. It’s worth mentioning that rookie De’Von Achane made his debut on Sunday night, though he only received a couple of touches. Mostert will look to continue his success in Week 3 vs. the Broncos.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa completed 21 of 30 passes for 249 yards with 1 TD and INT apiece in Sunday night’s win vs. the Patriots. His Week 2 stats aren’t as eye-popping as last week’s 466-yard aerial assault, though Miami had significant contributions from RB Raheem Mostert on the ground in this divisional contest. Fantasy managers can confidently start Tagovailoa again next week vs. the Broncos.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is active for tonight's game vs. the Patriots. It's the rookie's regular-season debut after being scratched for the opener. Achane can't be trusted in season-long lineups but is an interesting flier in one-game DFS tournament contests.

The Dolphins added Edge Jaelan Phillips to the injury report Friday and list him questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots with a back injury he suffered in Friday's practice. We'll see about his status Sunday, but the late kickoff might mean you need to go with another option in your IDP lineup.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee) is not listed on the final Week 2 injury report. He sat out on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. He’s ready for lead-back duties in Sunday night’s game vs. New England.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee) returned to a full practice on Thursday. He'll be ready for lead-back duties in this weekend's game vs. the Patriots.
