Miami Dolphins DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith caught three of four targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 14's 32-26 overtime victory over the New York Jets. His touchdown grab to seal the victory came from 10 yards out on a beautiful touchball by Tua Tagovailoa. Smith went into the contest on an absolute tear. His averages in the previous three games were 10 targets, 8.3 receptions, and 100.3 yards per game. That was on top of scoring three touchdowns in that same span. Smith has quickly emerged as one of the top tight ends in fantasy football and should be a vital part of the Dolphins offense for the remainder of the season. Week 15 presents a road matchup with the Houston Texans.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) is off the injury report and is good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup against the New York Jets. Hill opened the week as a non-participant and was then upgraded to a limited participant on Thursday. Hill was then able to log a full session on Friday which is why he does not carry an injury designation. Hill has been dealing with this wrist injury for some time but has yet to miss a game due to it. After tallying a mere 9.8 PPR points in Week 12, Hill enjoyed a nice bounce-back in Week 13 when he posted 20.8 PPR points against the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy managers should still view Hill as a bona fide WR1 despite a tough matchup against the Jets, who have allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing WRs this season.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) returned to the practice field on Thursday after being held out of Wednesday's session. Hill has routinely been rested early in the week due to a wrist injury that he's been dealing with for much of the year. He'll likely be listed as limited on Thursday but shouldn't be in any danger of missing a divisional clash this weekend against the visiting New York Jets at Hard Rock Stadium. Fantasy managers will want to leave the Cheetah in their starting lineups this weekend as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2, especially with Jets shutdown cornerback looking unlikely to play in Week 14 due to injury. The 30-year-old Hill hasn't lived up to his lofty expectations in 2024, mainly because of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa going on Injured Reserve due to a concussion earlier in the season. Tagovailoa is back now, though, and Hill has three TDs in the last four games.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (rest, wrist) was a non-participant for the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Hill has been battling a wrist injury for the majority of the season and has been rested in recent weeks on Wednesday before eventually suiting up on Sunday. Fantasy managers shouldn't be very worried at all that the 30-year-old speedster won't play in Week 14 against the division-rival New York Jets. He was able to play 80 percent of the offensive snaps in last Thursday night's loss to the Green Bay Packers and had six catches 83 yards and a touchdown. Although the Cheetah has just one 100-yard game (back in Week 1) and hasn't lived up to his lofty expectations in 2024, he's seen his production increase since the return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and has three TDs in the last four games. Hill is a must-start against the Jets this Sunday.

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith caught 10 of 11 targets for 113 yards in their 30-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Smith continues to draw plenty of opportunities early and often from Tua Tagovailoa. He led the team in targets, receptions, and yards in Thursday's loss. The 29-year-old looks like a solidified TE1 and has returned significant value to fantasy managers who grabbed him off the waiver wire. Smith now ranks as the TE3 overall, behind only Brock Bowers and George Kittle. Next week, he will get a matchup at home against the New York Jets, who have struggled mightily against tight ends.
