Miami Dolphins Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Monday that RB Jeff Wilson Jr. was close to playing Saturday night against the Bills, according to the team website. He called the RB day-to-day going forward. We'll track Wilson's status but would bet on him playing Sunday against the Packers. We'd still bet on RB Raheem Mostert leading the backfield work, but Wilson would almost certainly cut further into the split than remaining Miami RBs did at Buffalo.

Lions S DeShon Elliott left Sunday's win over the Jets with a dislocated shoulder. HC Dan Campbell told reporters Monday that the team is awaiting results from testing on the joint. We'll see whether Elliott is available for this Saturday's game at Carolina.

Jets QB Mike White has 3 fractured ribs and is not expected to be cleared for this coming Thursday night's game vs. the Jaguars, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We'll see if QB Zach Wilson can play well enough vs. the Lions today to get another start on Thursday.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle tallied 114 yards and a TD on just 3 catches in Saturday night's loss to the Bills. Waddle ranked 2nd on the team with 7 targets, trailing only Tyreek Hill (13) and 5 ahead of any other Miami player. A 67-yard TD early in the 3rd quarter powered Waddle's production. His 7 targets did rank a clear 2nd on the team, 6 behind Tyreek Hill's lead but 5 behind anyone else on the squad.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill drew 13 targets and caught 9 balls in Saturday night's loss to the Bills. That constituted 43.3% of Miami pass attempts and 53% of the receptions. He tallied 69 yards and a TD.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa threw for 234 yards and 2 TDs in Saturday night's loss at Buffalo. He took just 2 sacks but completed a mere 17 of 30 passes (56.7%). Tagovailoa hit WR Tyreek Hill from 20 yards out and WR Jaylen Waddle for a 67-yard score. Miami gets the Packers at home in Week 16.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert ran for 136 yards in Saturday night's loss to the Bills. Mostert posted nearly half of that with a 67-yard run in the 1st quarter but averaged a solid 4.3 yards on the rest of his carries as well. He ceded the team's lone rushing score to RB Salvon Ahmed. Mostert handled 74% of the team's RB carries, though, and would be a strong play against the Packers in Week 16 if Jeff Wilson Jr. remains out. Mostert will likely sit inside our top 20 at the position in the Week 16 fantasy football rankings even if Wilson is back.

Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson (hip) is inactive for tonight's game against the Bills. Raheem Mostert will operate as the clear lead back, with Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed behind him.

The forecast for tonight's Dolphins-Bills game calls for temperatures in the mid-20s and potentially heavy snow. If there's good news, it's that winds are expected to be manageable: 5-10 mph sustained with gusts of 10-15 mph. These are still less-than-ideal conditions for the passing and kicking games, though. We've made some adjustments to our projections for this game. Check out the updated rankings.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that doctors will not clear Jets QB Mike White for contact in time for Sunday's game with the Lions. That means QB Zach Wilson will return to the lineup. White twice left last Sunday's loss at Buffalo after taking shots to the midsection, but he returned each time. White said this week he was dealing with "general soreness," but he clearly sustained a more significant injury than he has conceded (likely to his ribs). So Wilson will return for the 1st time since his 9-for-22, 77-yard passing performance against the Patriots in Week 11. For the year, Wilson is averaging just 182.7 passing yards per game. White's 3 starts supplied 317.3 yards per game, at 0.6 more yards per pass attempt. The switch back is clearly bad news for Jets pass-catchers such as Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore and Tyler Conklin. Check our updated Week 15 fantasy football rankings to see where everyone sits.

Update: HC Robert Saleh has confirmed that White is out for Sunday's game vs. the Lions and that Wilson will start.

Jets QB Mike White (rib) remained limited in Thursday's practice. He told reporters beforehand that he'll start this weekend's game vs. the Lions. We'll see how White is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) isn’t listed on the final injury report. He was full-go in practice on Wednesday and Thursday and will be ready for his usual role vs. the Bills on Saturday night.

Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's game vs. the Bills. He got in just a limited practice on Thursday. Wilson would be a shaky fantasy play if he ends up suiting up on Saturday. If not, Raheem Mostert should handle the vast majority of the backfield work for Miami.

Jets QB Mike White (rib) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He figures to play through this injury vs. the Lions this weekend, but we'll keep an eye on his status over the next few days.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) was upgraded to full participation in Wednesday's practice. He'll be ready to rock for Saturday night's game vs. the Bills.

Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson (hip) remained sidelined on Wednesday. We'll see if he's able to practice tomorrow, but we're not expecting Wilson to play vs. the Bills on Saturday night.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) was limited in Tuesday's practice. He got a bit banged up in Sunday night's loss to the Chargers but was able to play through it. Hill should be fine for Saturday night's game vs. the Bills.

Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson (hip) did not practice on Tuesday. HC Mike McDaniel labeled him "day-to-day" on Monday, but Wilson certainly seems to be in danger of missing Saturday night's game vs. the Bills. We'll update his status again tomorrow.

Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson is "day-to-day" with the hip injury he suffered in Sunday night's loss to the Chargers, HC Mike McDaniel said. "We have avoided the worst case scenarios for sure," McDaniel said. That's good news -- but we'd still consider Wilson iffy for Saturday night's game vs. the Bills. We'll track his status throughout the week. Wilson's absence would obviously be good news for RB Raheem Mostert's fantasy outlook.

Jets HC Robert Saleh said Monday that QB Mike White is day-to-day with his rib injury and is expected to play vs. the Lions this weekend. White took some huge shots in the loss to the Bills and exited the game on 2 separate occasions. But he returned both times and should be ready to go by this coming Sunday. We'll monitor his status throughout the week.
