Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) limited in Wednesday practice

Related Players: Tyreek.Hill, Malik Washington

Things are looking pretty bad for the Dolphins offense at this point, but we shouldn't worry about Waddle quite yet. Continue to consider him a WR3 if he gets a full practice in my week's end.

Mike McDaniel on TE Darren Waller's availability for Week 2:

"I expect to not know what to expect until later on this week ... We may get to a point where we realize the risk is too great for the rest of the season and we'll have to do what's best for the team."

It was always a pretty wild move to trade for a retired tight end who had been dealing with a litany of injuries, but here we are. Conner was more involved than Julian Hill in the offense in Week 1, turning four targets into 20 yards, but he's not worth a look in fantasy until we see more out of him. Waller can be dropped in all but the deepest TE Premium leagues.

Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill faces a potential problem far more serious than his current on-field struggles.

Via TMZ.com, Hill’s estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, has accused him of domestic violence in court filings related to their divorce.

Per the report, she claims that Hill started to become violent with her in early January 2024, two months after they were married. She contends that they were arguing about a post-nuptial agreement — and that he shoved her to the floor, stood over her, and ripped off her necklace. The assault, she contends, caused a cut and a bruise.

The story goes on to say she alleges eight total incidents of domestic violence. She claims he spat on her once, and that he became physical with her when she was pregnant. The story added Hill faces no criminal allegations. However, the claims made by Vaccaro could be enough to spark a Personal Conduct Policy investigation, the story said. Although the league has no subpoena power, she could choose to cooperate in any review the league may conduct, the story went on to say.

The recently un-retired Waller hasn't seen much of the football field this summer, which makes him a complete stay-away until we get some good news on that end. If he doesn't suit up, receiving work would presumably fall to Julian Hill, though he's earned only 26 targets through his first two years in the league, so this situation is best to avoid for now.

Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (hip) did not participate in Thursday’s practice for the portion of the work the media watched. What does that mean?

Dolphins RB De’Von Achane will practice today for 1st time since suffering calf injury 3 weeks ago. HC Mike McDaniel says if Achane doesn’t have any setbacks he will play Sunday vs. Colts.

It's good news for the Dolphins offense. It was the plan all along to have Achane for Week 1, but it's nice to see he'll officially be back at practice and he's still on track. Given the injury and it being Week 1, Gordon is probably worth a pickup if he's still on your wire. He's at least poised for some short yardage and goal line work but it could be more.

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright had a minor procedure. Goal is “Septemberish” return per HC Mike McDaniel. Expected to miss multiple weeks.

After a summer filled with bad vibes, it's good to see Hill back out on the practice field. He's been a bit of a shy-away through most of drafting season, but now he's often falling into the fourth round, it makes selecting him a little easier to swallow. With or without Hill, Waddle is a sneaky upside target after a down year.

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright had a "small procedure" done that isn't season-ending but will take some time to recover from, per McDaniel

This looks like wheels-up for Ollie Gordon, who has been steamed up after Wright missed time this preseason. Achane is still the back we want in this backfield, but Gordon looks like a great double-digit stab who could mix in enough to warrant FLEX appeal during bye weeks.

Looks like the jury's still out on whether Wright will be set for W1, but this is great news for Achane drafters, particularly for his year-long availability. If he stays healthy for the entire year, he has legit overall RB1 upside.

Entering his second year, the former sixth-round pick Malik Washington has been one of Tua Tagovailoa's top receivers this summer, with Tyreek Hill missing the past three weeks of practice with an oblique injury. After Miami's preseason finale, during which he scored an impressive 25-yard touchdown, Washington said the chemistry he's built with Tagovailoa is the result of a deliberate effort on his part.

Washington has earned the team's WR3 job this summer, which could be worth noting for fantasy rosters. Hill and Waddle have had injuries in the past, and with Waller a bit of a question coming out of retirement to play TE, Washington could get his chances. Many quickly forget Washington was a sixth round pick last season and considered a sleeper in dynasty leagues.
