Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill officially questionable for Week 15

Ian Rapoport

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel tells reporters that WR Tyreek Hill won't practice today on his ankle injury and is considered questionable. He hasn't practiced all week.

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Dolphins Beat: Durham Smythe a three-down TE

Sun Sentinel

Sep 19, 2023 · 3:50 PM EDT

Q: Are we seeing the signs of what possibly this offense in the first year was missing a dual threat TE that stays on the field all 3 downs?

Indeed. Now, it’s all Durham Smythe. He played all but two offensive snaps in Sunday’s win over the Patriots, after playing every single one in the opener.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story said, and we witnessed last year, McDaniel always seemed uncomfortable having to work in Mike Gesicki last year, when his blocking didn’t fit everything the coach wanted to do with the tight ends, especially with the outside-zone runs.

The story added Smythe has six receptions for 67 yards in two games this season. While those are fantasy stud numbers at the position, Smythe could be an option in deeper leagues, or as a TE2, with a hope for improvement.

Dolphins sign TE Tyler Kroft to one-year deal

The #Dolphins have signed TE Tyler Kroft to a one-year deal, per agent
Mike McCartney.

Related Players: Durham Smythe, Eric Saubert, Elijah Higgins

Fantasy Impact:

The Dolphins let Mike Gesicki walk this offseason but didn't do anything to replace the passing game specialist outside of sixth-rounder Elijah Higgins, who will likely be transitioning from the wide receiver position. Kroft has been bouncing around the last few seasons and hasn't produced much since his breakout 42-404-7 2017 season with the Cincinnati Bengals.

This situation is almost assuredly going to be rotational, with Durham Smythe being the de facto TE1. His previous career highs (34-357-0) came during the 2021 season.

TE Mike Gesicki to sign with the Patriots

Adam Schefter

Former Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki is signing a one-year deal with the New England Patriots.

Related Players: Hunter Henry, Durham Smythe

Fantasy Impact:

With Miami passing on re-signing the tight end/slot receiver, they now have a huge need to attack the position in the NFL Draft. For the Patriots, Gesicki essentially fills in for Jonnu Smith, who they shipped off earlier in free agency. Hunter Henry's fantasy stock has been an entire roller coaster in the span of one week.
