Team news: Miami Dolphins

Even with the question of their postseason fate back in play, there's a bigger one looming this offseason -- the same one Tua Tagovailoa been hearing since his arrival in Miami: is he the guy?

The Dolphins were rumored to be heavily interested in Deshaun Watson right up to the trade deadline, while also saying they still had confidence in Tua. The story is filled with information to let you draw your own conclusions about Tua, but ironically, Miami is unbeaten since the deadline and Tagovailoa has completed 74.5% of his passes for 1,101 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions over five games during the winning streak, the story pointed out. The questions will likely be asked right up until next year with the Dolphins still being one of the teams linked to Watson.

Miami co-OC Eric Studesville said Dolphins want to continue with competition in the RB room. "All those guys are going to play and participate in the game plan."

Johnson and Gaskin should lead the way at least based off Week 15's win over the Jets. Duke got 22 carries for 107 yards and two TDs while Gaskin ran 10 times for 54 yards. They were the only two RBs to get work with other backs on the COVID list, but should have earned a majority of the work again in Week 16. It's a road game at New Orleans on Monday night.

Will Fuller had a setback, Brian Flores said.

He's likely done for the season other reports say. Fuller played in just two games for the 'Fins catching four passes for 26 yards. He will be a free agent in March. Miami will now rely on Parker and Waddle going forward, which so far, hasn't been a bad thing at all. Ford saw three target and had three catches for 51 yards this past week so he could slide into a WR3 role.

Brian Flores says Jaylen Waddle and Phillip Lindsay will come off COVID list.

It's a huge addition for the Dolphins in a potential playoff run, especially pairing him with Parker who has produced lines of 5-62 and 4-68-1 over the last two games since returning. Even with Parker back in Week 13, Waddle collected a 9-90-0 line on 11 targets so he's clearly the WR1. Miami ends the season with the Saints, Titans and Patriots.

One day after running for 102 yards and two touchdowns, RB Duke Johnson is being signed to the Miami Dolphins’ active roster, per his agent Drew Rosenhaus.

Johnson ran 22 times for 107 yards and two scores, so this isn't a surprise. Gaskin got 10 carries for 54 yards but it looks like Duke may be getting another chance to prove he can be a lead back. Miami gets a tough Saints defense in Week 16 on a Monday night game so it remains to be seen if Johnson can come close to these numbers again. If you're hurting at RB heading into the fantasy semifinals, Duke is at least worth a pickup.

Dolphins RBs Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed have been removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list and are expected to play Week 15.

The Dolphins have an elite offensive matchup against a healthy and horrible Jets defense. Gaskin may not have a full workload after missing almost a full week of practice, but he is healthy, and that puts him in elite company Week 15.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has been placed on the reserve/COVID list.

Being placed on the list this late in the week puts Waddle in serious danger of missing this weekend's contest against the New York Jets. He can still be cleared if he produces two negative tests 24 hours apart, but the late addition to the reserve/COVID list makes him being available for Week 15 unlikely. This is a situation to monitor, but fantasy managers should plan to be without their terrific rookie receiver for the start of the fantasy playoffs.

All three of the running backs on the Dolphins' active roster have tested positive for COVID-19, according to multiple reports.

Myles Gaskin (154 attempts) and Salvon Ahmed (54 attempts) were each placed on Miami's COVID-19 list during the bye week after testing positive, per multiple reports. And Phillip Lindsay (12 attempts), who missed Miami's last game due to an ankle injury, also tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported.

The story said it's possible they could clear the NFL's protocols for returning to action in time to play against the Jets on Sunday, but it's not a guarantee for any of the players. Brown (33 attempts) remains on injured reserve and has missed the last six games due to a quad injury but the story said the team is hopeful he can practice this week.

Dolphins RB Myles Gaskin tested positive for COVID-19. He is vaccinated and can return to the team as soon as Monday. Miami is on a bye.
