Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill went off for 12 catches and 177 yards in Week 6. Starting QB Skylar Thompson left the game in the 1st half due to injury, putting Teddy Bridgewater back on the field. But it simply didn’t matter for Hill, whose speed overwhelmed the Minnesota secondary. He’s now posted 3 games of 10+ catches as a Dolphin. Week 7 (vs. Pittsburgh) should bring the return of Tua Tagovailoa.

The Panthers are trading WR Robbie Anderson to the Cardinals, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Anderson had already been on the trade block before his sideline altercation with Carolina's coaching staff in Sunday's loss to the Rams. He heads from a pathetic Panthers passing game to a struggling Cardinals passing game. When Arizona's WR corps is healthy, Anderson might be the #4 WR behind DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown and Rondale Moore. Brown went down with a foot injury late in Week 6, though, so we'll see about his status. Anderson is worth stashing in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams, but we're not very excited about his rest-of-season outlook.

Update: The Panthers are receiving a 2024 6th-round pick and a 2025 7th-rounder for Anderson, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Niners RB Jeff Wilson Jr. carried just 7 times for 25 yards and went catchless on 1 target in Sunday's 14-point loss to the Falcons. The game found Tyrion Davis-Price active, but he didn't draw a touch. Tevin Coleman carried 4 times for 3 yards.

Panthers WR Robbie Anderson was sent to the locker room by interim HC Steve Wilks in the 2nd half of Sunday's game vs. the Rams. Anderson got into it with WRs coach Joe Dailey a bit earlier. Carolina would love to find a trade partner for Anderson, but don't be surprised if he's cut this week.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle suffered an apparent left shoulder injury last in Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. Stay tuned for an update.

Update: Waddle returned in the 4th quarter.

Panthers WR Robbie Anderson is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. He was added to Friday's injury report with an illness and listed as questionable. Hopefully you don’t need to use Anderson in fantasy lineups today.

Patriots TE Jonnu Smith (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He’s not a fantasy option but figures to put a dent in TE Hunter Henry’s routes and targets.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He got in just 2 limited practices this week and was listed as questionable, adding some risk to his fantasy profile. But Mostert should be busy today as long as that knee holds up. RB Myles Gaskin is a healthy scratch for this one, suggesting confidence in Mostert’s health.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa cleared concussion protocol on Saturday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Tagovailoa will be held out of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings but is expected to return for Week 7.

Panthers WR Robbie Anderson was added to Friday's injury report with an illness. He didn't practice and is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. Guys tend to play through illnesses, but you'll need to check back Sunday to see if Anderson is active if you're hoping to use him in a Week 6 fantasy lineup.

Dolphins WRs Tyreek Hill (quad, foot) and Jaylen Waddle (groin) were full participants in practice all week and are not listed on the final injury report. Both guys should be ready for full-time roles vs. the Vikings on Sunday, although QB Skylar Thompson adds volatility to the situation.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Vikings. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We haven’t heard any concern about Mostert’s status, but you’ll need to check back Sunday morning to make sure he’s active.

Patriots TE Jonnu Smith (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns after a limited week of practice. He’s not a fantasy option, but his return would likely mean fewer pass routes for TE Hunter Henry.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That puts him on track to play vs. the Vikings this weekend, although it'd be nice to see him get in a full practice on Friday.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (groin) put in a full practice on Wednesday -- his 1st since prior to Week 3. The groin shouldn't be any issue in this Sunday's game vs. the Vikings.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (quad, foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It means he'll be good to go for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. The concern, of course, is that it'll be 7th-round rookie Skylar Thompson under center.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. We've heard no mention of an injury, so this could be more of a rest day after Mostert handled 19 touches in last weekend's loss to the Jets. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that he plans to start QB Skylar Thompson vs. the Vikings this weekend. McDaniel said QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will be inactive for that one. QB Teddy Bridgewater has a chance to clear concussion protocol by Sunday but would back up Thompson in that case. Thompson is a 7th-round rookie out of Kansas State, where he posted a 62% completion rate and 8.0 yards per attempt across 5 seasons. Thompson had an impressive preseason, ranking 15th among 77 QBs in Pro Football Focus' passing grades. He went 19-of-33 (58%) for 166 yards (5.0 YPA), 0 TDs and 1 INT in relief of Bridgewater vs. the Jets last week. Thompson is just a low-end QB2 for Week 6 and should be considered a downgrade for Miami's skill-position guys.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is set to return to the field and throw on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Tagovailoa remains in the concussion protocol and is "highly unlikely" to play vs. the Vikings on Sunday, per Rapoport. But Tua has reportedly made good progress over the past few days, so a Week 7 return seems feasible. Teddy Bridgewater or Skylar Thompson will start at QB for Miami this weekend.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Dolphins are "optimistic" WR Tyreek Hill (foot) will play vs. the Vikings on Sunday. Hill left last week's loss to the Jets in a walking boot, but it sounds like that was mostly precautionary. We'll get Miami's 1st practice report of the week this afternoon.
