Dolphins rookie QB Skylar Thompson has been named the team's starter vs. the Jets in Week 18. QB Teddy Bridgewater (knee, right finger) is listed as questionable and is set to be the backup should he be active for Sunday's contest. This will be a tough draw for an inexperienced QB as the Jets' defense ranks as the 5th-toughest matchup for opposing QBs in adjusted fantasy points allowed. It's best to avoid Thompson entirely for fantasy purposes.

Dolphins QB Skylar Thompson suffered a cut on his right hand and headed back to the locker room in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. QB Teddy Bridgewater has entered for Miami. We'll update Thompson's status when we know more.

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.
