Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (foot) was not seen at Friday's practice according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. However, Jackson further reported that head coach Mike McDaniel remains "very optimistic" that his start wideout will be able to suit up on Sunday. Fantasy managers should monitor Friday's injury report in case Hill carries an injury designation into the weekend. The 30-year-old has been unproductive over the past few weeks but should be poised to bounce back with his quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returning on Sunday. If Hill is able to play, he should be locked into all lineups as a high-end WR1 facing the Arizona Cardinals.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has cleared concussion protocol and will get the starting nod on Sunday when the Dolphins face the Arizona Cardinals. Tagovailoa has been sidelined since suffering a concussion during the second week of the season. In his absence, the Miami offense has struggled as they never eclipsed 20 total points in a game without him. Fantasy managers in deeper 1QB formats should feel comfortable starting the Alabama product as he scored 22.0 points in the season opener and 13.0 before leaving Week 2 early. The Cardinals have allowed the 28th-most PPR points to opposing QBs. In addition, Tagovailoa's return also gives a significant boost to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle who should be viewed as must-start options going forward.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (quadriceps) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Waddle could pick up a questionable tag on Friday's final injury report, but he seems to be on the right side of questionable for Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. Tyreek Hill (foot) was added to the injury report on Thursday and was limited in practice, so Miami's top two wideouts have injury concerns heading into the game against the Cardinals. The good news is that the 25-year-old Waddle should be good to play and will have a much higher fantasy ceiling and floor as a WR2 with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) tracking towards making his return from Injured Reserve. In addition, Arizona's defense has surrendered the sixth-most half-PPR fantasy points to receivers in seven games.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was upgraded to a full practice session on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. As a full practice participant, Tagovailoa can now meet with an independent neurological consultant for full clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol before Sunday's Week 8 game against the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, Tyler Huntley (shoulder) missed a second straight practice on Thursday. Nothing is official yet, but all signs point to the 26-year-old Tagovailoa coming off Injured Reserve and playing this weekend for the first time since suffering his latest concussion in Week 2. Not only is Tua's matchup against Arizona a good one -- they've allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to QBs in 2024 -- but his return should do wonders for the fantasy value of both receivers Tyreek Hill (foot) and Jaylen Waddle (quadriceps).

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (foot) was limited during Thursday's practice, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Hill was not on Wednesday's injury report, so this situation is worth monitoring. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on the 30-year-old's participation during Friday's practice, as he may carry an injury designation into the weekend. Since scoring 26 PPR points in the opening week, Hill has been in a slump while quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been sidelined. During this stretch, Hill has averaged just 32.8 yards per game. However, with Tagovailoa expected to return this weekend, Hill should be viewed as a high-end WR1 if he is able to suit up.
