Team news: Miami Dolphins | Page 1

Mike McDaniel said Dolphins RB De’Von Achane was available to return in an emergency — he chose not to put him back in the game.

The good news is Achane performed well enough during his time that he gave fantasy owners about 17 points in PPR leagues before leaving. It was Wright who took over with 24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown while Gordon ran for a line of 5-17-1 in a blowout win over the Jets. The post went on to say, as for Achane's availability next week vs. the Steelers, McDaniel said, “I promise you, he’ll be in there if he’s ready.” Achane's practice report will be one to monitor this week as ribs can be a tricky injury. More good news is the Dolphins are now 6-7, so this will be an important game to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. The bad news is, Achane plays on Monday night at the Steelers, so if he's a game-time call owners will want to make sure they have a backup plan heading into the game.

Dolphins running back De'Von Achane is questionable to return against the Jets with a rib injury.

Achane went to the locker room in the second quarter. He had already scored a touchdown and was at 92 yards on just seven rushing attempts. Jaylen Wright has taken over in the backfield and has scored a touchdown.

The Rams’ already stellar passing game should have another target on Sunday against the Panthers.

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters today that wide receiver Tutu Atwell will practice this week and should be off injured reserve and on the active roster to play on Sunday.

McVay said Atwell, who hasn’t played since October 19 because of a hamstring injury, appears to be “ready to roll” this week, the story said. It went on to say he's only caught four passes this season, but he has big play ability to add to the offense. At best, he's the WR3 behind two target hogs in Nacua and Adams, and so Atwell is more of a boom or bust fantasy option.

The Falcons are signing veteran K Zane Gonzalez following a workout this morning, sources tell me.

The team is waiving Romo, who was 11-for-14 on FGs with Atlanta and missed a late extra point in the 1-point loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II, who went down with an ankle injury last night, is considered day-to-day with a sprain, source said. With the mini-bye, should miss limited time.

This should impact Achane's workload one way or the other, but it could end up benefiting Wright, who had been getting a few more snaps as of late, before his inactive status in Week 9. Regardless, Achane is the only fantasy-viable option in this backfield right now.

The Dolphins have signed TE Greg Dulcich to the active roster off the practice squad and placed TE Darren Waller on the injured reserve list with a pec strain.

Related Players: Julian Hill, Tanner Conner

This is not likely a spot where we should be targeting the TE room. Hill and Conner combined for five targets and 29 yards last week.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel did not lose his job on Monday and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa kept his as well.

Related players: Quinn Ewers, Zach Wilson

McDaniel said after Sunday’s 31-6 loss to the Browns that “everything is on the table” concerning changes in the wake of what he deemed a “very, very humbling loss” that dropped the team to 1-6 on the season. The alternatives to Tua are Ewers, who is a rookie, and Wilson.

Rams WR Puka Nacua and RT Rob Havenstein are OUT for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.

Everyone else is good to go.

This pushes Adams into fringe WR1 territory. Whittington and Atwell will be the most likely beneficiaries as secondary options, with the former offering a higher floor as a WR4 option.

For a second straight day today, Rams WR Puka Nacua didn’t practice due to his ankle injury.

Nacua seems like a stretch to play Week 7, which pushes Adams into fringe WR1 territory. Whittington and Atwell will be the most likely beneficiaries as secondary options, with the former offering a higher floor as a WR4 option.
