Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) exited during the second half of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts and is officially questionable to return. Miami continues to have quarterback issues with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on injured reserve, Skylar Thompson (ribs) inactive, and now Huntley sidelined, too. At the time of his departure, Huntley had completed seven of 13 passes for 87 yards, one touchdown, and zero turnovers. He also had 20 rushing yards on five attempts. Tim Boyle has entered the game and will quarterback the Dolphins' offense until Huntley is able to return.
Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He is the odd man out as the Dolphins enter Week 7 with a backfield featuring De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, and Jaylen Wright. Wilson will continue to be inactive as long as those three are healthy. He should be dropped in most fantasy leagues.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is set to practice ahead of Week 8 and could make his return as the team's starter next Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. This is the fastest possible return for Tagovailoa, whose placement on injured reserve required him to stay on the sideline for four games before he could return to practice or game action. This Sunday's Dolphins-Colts clash is the fourth game he'll miss, and it sounds like he'll get back on the field as soon as he's eligible next week. We previously heard that Tagovailoa is symptom-free and has no intentions of retiring at the moment. Once he does return to the field, he'll rank as a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback. Perhaps more importantly, he'll boost the fantasy values of Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and De'Von Achane, among others.
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is not an ideal start this Sunday when the team squares off against the Indianapolis Colts. Scoring opportunities for the Dolphins offense have been challenging to come by this season. Sanders has hit on 9-of-12 field goal attempts this year and drilled all three of his extra-point attempts. Miami has scored just five touchdowns this year. While the outing against the Colts is one of the better matchups in the league, it's hard to be excited about most of the Dolphins' fantasy assets before quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returns to action. Sanders is the K26 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle gets a strong matchup when his team takes on the Indianapolis Colts on the road in Week 7. While he's yet to eclipse 46 yards since his 109-yard outing in Week 1, Waddle has been consistent -; albeit unspectacular -; recording four receptions in four straight matchups. It's difficult to trust him as more than a FLEX option this week due to the lack of ceiling in the Dolphins' offense sans quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion). However, the Colts present as one of the weaker matchups against opponents across the board, and the 25-year-old saw his highest target total of the season his last time out in Week 5 (8). The former Alabama Crimson Tide is RotoBaller's PPR WR46 this week ahead of a 44-point over/under outing.
