Hafley: Dolphins RBs 'to have their roles'

Sep 28, 2026

On whether the Dolphins will operate with RB by committee without De'Von Achane, coach Jeff Hafley said: "They're all going to have their roles."

Related player: Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon, Jarquez Hunter

Fantasy Impact:

Gordon will be a popular pickup this week in waivers, and at least for the short term could benefit the most in terms of workload. But this is looking like it's heading to a committee. Wright missed Week 3 with a stinger and foot injury and we don't yet know his status for Week 4. The team also has Hunter who was a prospect with the Rams before signing with the Dolphins practice squad. Hunter could jump right into action as the RB2 if Wright is out again this week. With all the injuries to RBs lately, it's worth taking a flier on any of the three.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) to practice this week

Pro Football Talk

56 minutes ago

Via multiple reporters, head coach Dan Quinn said in his Monday press conference that Jayden Daniels will practice this week as he comes back from a dislocated left elbow.

Related players: Marcus Mariota

Fantasy Impact:

As the story points out, it doesn’t necessarily sound like Daniels is on track to start, but the quarterback will travel to London with the team and get on the practice field before the Week 4 matchup against the Colts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Mariota is likely to start, but it's a good sign that Daniels is closer to getting back on the field, and it's perhaps an even better sign he made the trip overseas vs. staying back home.

Good news on Vikings WR Justin Jefferson: He has an ankle sprain.

Fantasy Impact:

The post went on to say the imaging was good and he avoided anything long term. The post added there is even a chance he plays Sunday, which is great news for fantasy owners. We'll likely have to wait and see how his practice week goes, and Wednesday's report should give us a better indication. The Vikings are at home against the Dolphins in Week 4 in the later window of games.

Saints RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) will miss time

Saints RB Travis Etienne Jr. will miss time with a hamstring injury, HC Kellen Moore announced.

Related players: Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, CJ Donaldson

Fantasy Impact:

A timeline for a return has not yet been determined, according to the post. It's likely Kamara, Miller and Donaldson all see a bump in touches to pick up the workload of Etienne. Kamara led the way with nine carries in Week 9 so it makes sense he would probably lead the way. Miller had four carries along with two receptions and could work in as the RB2.
