The Dolphins have officially ruled out WR Jaylen Waddle against the Ravens with his high-ankle sprain.

Related Players: Tyreek Hill, Cedrick Wilson, Durham Smythe

With Waddle only logging 17 routes in Week 16, the target share for Tyreek Hill predictably increased, as he turned 14 targets into a 9-99 stat line. Tight end Durham Smythe also saw five targets for the first time since Week 1. Even in a tough matchup against the Ravens, Tyreek is a locked-in top-five option.

No practice today for Jaylen Waddle (ankle) & Raheem Mostert (should be good to go). Tyreek Hill, Austin Jackson did limited practice.

Tua throws looked good after landing on report w/ left thumb.

Robert Hunt, De’Von Achane did team stretch, separate rehab work during practice.

Missing a Wednesday practice isn't a big deal for a vet, but for a rookie that's been dealing with a toe issue, it's a different story. Achane has been limited in his last two games, garnering 22 opportunities (carries + targets) for only 93 combined yards and 11.3 half-PPR fantasy points. Against a stout Ravens run-defense, it could be difficult to trust him as more than a FLEX play, though his explosiveness can turn any touch into a huge play, so it may be all about risk tolerance in Week 17.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Jaylen Waddle’s high ankle sprain is not overly severe and he hasn’t been ruled out for Sunday vs. Ravens yet.

Josh McDaniel said that Jaylen Waddle has a high ankle injury and that the severity of it was still being evaluated. With that evaluation still going on, there’s no word on his status for Week 17’s showdown with the Ravens but McDaniel acknowledged such injuries can be “tricky” even as he expressed hope in Waddle fighting through it.

When Waddle was injured against the Cowboys on Sunday, word was that he hurt his shin but head coach Mike McDaniel said on Monday that the injury is actually that of a high ankle nature. Owners will need to keep an eye on this injury heading into Week 17.

“No setbacks” for Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill this week — he will practice today and Mike McDaniel says he feels good about him.

This is a good sign for fantasy managers who had to do without last week. Hill looks like he will return to what will very likely be a shootout with the Cowboys. Waddle is back in the WR2 range after his fantastic 8-142-1 performance during his teammate's absence.

The ball was spread out a little more in Week 14, with Hill coming off and on the field, but not enough to make the tertiary options behind Jaylen Waddle usable. This would obviously be a terrible time for Tyreek to miss, with so many of us depending on him in the fantasy playoffs, but hope isn't lost yet.

Tyreek Hill and Raheem Mostert returned to Dolphins practice today but Jevon Holland and Kendall Lamm remain sidelined.

It's possible that Achane returns this week as well, but that doesn't mean we should fade Mostert. That tandem has proven on more than one occasion that they can both be plugged into lineups and still offer individual upside.

One would assume that Waddle would absolutely eat with no Tyreek on the field, but we may see a wider target tree if the WR1 were forced out of Week 8. Berrios has actually ran the second-most routes on the team over the last two weeks, so he may end up being the contingency plan for fantasy purposes. We'll keep an eye on Hill's status through the rest of the week.
