Team news: Miami Dolphins | Page 9

Pierce said #Raiders RB Zamir White (groin) is doubtful. DE Maxx Crosby (ankle) and G Dylan Parham (achilles) will practice today.

Related Players: Alexander Mattison

It looks like Mattison will get the nod and most of the ground game work, but he is in an awful situation with an offense that is nosediving. Dylan Laube and Ameer Abdullah should be involved in the pass game, which regulates Mattison to RB2/3 territory.

Plan is for Tyler Huntley to start again for Dolphins at QB Sunday vs. Patriots, per HC Mike McDaniel.

Related players: Tua Tagovailoa, Skylar Thompson, Tim Boyle, De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, Jaylen Wright, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle

It wasn't good in Week 4 but the Dolphins don't really have any other option other than Boyle. No one on the Dolphin offense can really be trusted in fantasy lineups and it seemed like the Titans took away the run game daring Huntley to beat them, which didn't happen. The Dolphins have a bye in Week 6 and Tua is rumored to be back for Week 8, so those holding fantasy players on the Dolphins will need some patience over the next several weeks.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert, who is listed as questionable because of his chest injury, is not expected to play tonight against the Titans, per source.

Related players: De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, Jeff Wilson

The Dolphins have said they will use caution with Mostert, who looks like he will miss another week. Achane should be the team's main back but Wright and Wilson will likely factor in as well. How the game script goes against the Titans will likely dictate how much work Achane loses to Wright and Wilson. In a 28-3 loss last week, Achane had 14 touches to Wright's 2 and Wilson's 3.

Jordan Love was once again practicing in pads (and doling out handshakes) Thursday.

Only non-participant was OL Jordan Morgan (shoulder).

Love seems like he's trending in the right direction to suit up in Week 4, which brings a huge boost to the passing game with it. If he is back at 100% he should once again be considered a fringe QB1.

There won’t be any suspense about wide receiver Cooper Kupp’s status this week.

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Monday that Kupp has been ruled out for the team’s Week 4 game against the Bears.

Kupp injured his ankle in Week 2. The story said the early decision to rule him out suggests he’ll be off the practice field again this week, but the team did not put Kupp on injured reserve so it would seem they expect him to play by Week 7 — they have a bye in Week Six — at the latest. Atwell led the way with a 4-93-0 line with Robinson going for 1-32-0. Whittington added a line of 3-28-0 and Johnson had 3-20-0. With Puka Nacua also out for at least two more weeks, the Rams WR situation seems a bit tricky for fantasy owners.

QB Jordan Love (knee) will begin the week as a limited participant in practice and remains day to day, per HC Matt LaFleur.

The hope for the Packers is Love is back in action for a big divisional showdown vs. the 3-0 Vikings. Love was questionable leading up to Week 3, so there is some hope he'll be able to go in Week 4. The good news for fantasy owners is this is an early Sunday game, so there will plenty of time to adjust your fantasy lineups. The Packers may not want to give anything away, so this could be a game-time call, but hopefully we'll be able to get a better idea with this week's practice reports.

According to Matt LaFleur, Jordan Love is questionable for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.

Green Bay rolled out the perfect gameplan for Willis in Love's Week 2 absence, but we shouldn't assume the latter only gets 14 pass attempts if he's good to go for Week 3. If he's ready to suit up, mark him down as a low-end QB1 against the Titans, otherwise, keep expectations in check for all Packers pass-catchers.

Mike McDaniel says that Terron Armstead will play against Seattle, but said that he's pessimistic about Raheem Mostert (though he wouldn't rule it out).

Related Players: De'Von Achane, Jeff Wilson, Jaylen Wright

Achane should once again get a huge workload, with Wilson and Wright rotating in. Wilson and/or Wright can be played in Flex spots if you're desperate, but it's probably best to just consider Achane a top-10 option.

Despite what was projected to be a 3-to-4 week absence due to his knee injury, there is a chance that Packers QB Jordan Love can make it back in time to start Sunday at the Titans.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if he plays this week,” said one source. “It’s definitely day-by-day like he said, and 50-50 at best right now.” But the larger point might be that, even if Love cannot make it back by Sunday, he’ll have a realistic chance to return next week at home vs. the Vikings, which would mark a two-game absence.

A "50-50" shot means we shouldn't be depending on him to start for our fantasy squads this week, but it seems like he is locked into Week 4, at the least. Great news for Love and the Packers' fantasy pieces on a whole.

Rams star WR Cooper Kupp suffered a high-ankle sprain in LA’s loss on Sunday, and he’ll spend the next week or so in a cast helping the swelling calm down, sources said.

The team did not place him on Injured Reserve, as there is still a chance he’s ready within four weeks.

Related Players: Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington

A little bit of good news bad news here, as Kupp may not miss more than four games, but it still seems like it will be significant time. As it stands, Robinson is the most experienced option and will be the most likely option to lead the team in routes, with Johnson closely behind.

If you missed out on them through waiver runs and still want a piece of this offense, Whittington is the wild card, and should be targeted in deeper leagues.
