Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) was not at practice for the first session of the week on Wednesday. Mostert is a question mark for a huge Week 18 contest against the division-rival Buffalo Bills this Sunday night after sitting out the Week 17 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He's going to need to get back to practice later this week to have a shot at returning, and if he's eventually listed as questionable on Friday, he'll create a tough decision for fantasy managers that are still playing for a championship. The 31-year-old has 21 total touchdowns on the year, but even if he's active, he could yield important backfield touches to rookie De'Von Achane and Jeff Wilson Jr. Mostert is currently shaping up as a volatile RB3/flex to close out the regular season.

The Baltimore Ravens will rest quarterback Lamar Jackson, the MVP front-runner, for the Week 18 regular season finale this Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens are already locked into the top overall seed in the AFC and will have a first-round bye in the playoffs. The next time they'll be a full-go will be in the Divisional Round on Jan. 20/21. Tyler Huntley will make his first start of the season in this weekend's game against a Steelers team that is still fighting for a wild-card spot. Jackson may not be the only offensive starter the Ravens choose to rest in this one, so Huntley may be working with limited weapons in a tough matchup against the Steelers. The 25-year-old will be a low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers in superflex leagues that are still playing for a title.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel isn't ruling out wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) for the all-important Week 18 regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night in a game that will determine the winner of the AFC East. Waddle injured his ankle in the Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys and was ruled out for this past Sunday's blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 25-year-old will need to return to practice this week to have a shot at playing, but Miami will surely hope to get their No. 2 wideout back in a crucial game against their division rivals. Cedrick Wilson Jr. saw the most increased workload with Waddle out in Week 17. If Waddle is able to return this Sunday, he should be returned to starting fantasy lineups in a game that could be high-scoring. UPDATE: Waddle did not practice Wednesday.

The Miami Dolphins don't seem too worried about quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's shoulder injury. "I'm not really worried about it. Just where he is in the season, how crazy competitive he is, it's not a real big blip on my radar right now," head coach Mike McDaniel said. Tagovailoa injured his left shoulder late in Sunday's blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens and was a little sore on Monday, but the 25-year-old should be available to face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night in Week 18 in a contest that will decide the winner of the AFC East. He'll be looking for a bounce-back performance after throwing for 237 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Week 17 loss. However, he could be without wideout Jaylen Waddle (ankle) for another game. With several prominent QBs potentially being rested in the final week of the regular season, Tagovailoa will firmly be on the QB1 map against Buffalo in Miami.

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. played a season-high 49 percent of the offensive snaps with Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) out in the ugly 56-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, but he had just three carries for 21 yards and caught three of his four targets for 13 yards. Meanwhile, rookie running back De'Von Achane served as Miami's lead back with 18 total touches for 137 scrimmage yards and a touchdown through the air. The Dolphins aren't going to be resting players in a crucial Week 18 contest against the Buffalo Bills that will decide the winner of the AFC East. Even if Mostert misses his second straight game with multiple injuries, Wilson will most likely operate well behind Achane in Miami's backfield, making him no more than an RB3/flex option in deep PPR formats.
