Miami Dolphins DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

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.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is reportedly trending to play this Sunday when his team squares off against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Pelissero also noted he was told that "Tua looks like Tua. He's ripping it all over the field, hitting bombs to Tyreek Hill. This is the guy they've been missing." It's a positive start to the week for the fifth-year QB, who is still required to gain clearance from an independent neurologist as his last hurdle of clearing the league's concussion protocol. Miami's offense desperately needs a spark, scoring just three touchdowns since the Alabama product's exit from the team's Week 2 loss to the Bills. If Tagovailoa can play, he'd give them just that. Fantasy managers will want to monitor him over the next day or so, as he'd supply a large boost to the Dolphins' skill players if active.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley (right shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Huntley left the Dolphins' Week 7 game against the Indianapolis Colts with the injury. Huntley has filled in for the injured Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) over the Dolphins' last three games. He has thrown for 377 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Dolphins offense has stalled without Tagovailoa. Wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (quad) have not provided any fantasy value. While it is unfortunate that Huntley is injured, it does appear that the Dolphins are on track to getting Tagovailoa back in the lineup in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. Fantasy managers should monitor the practice participation of both Huntley and Tagovailoa throughout the week.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (quad) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Waddle is no stranger to the injury report but it would be best to keep an eye on the situation as we head into the weekend. With the Dolphins hoping to start quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals, Waddle would see a huge boost in potential fantasy production. Waddle has all but disappeared without Tagovailoa in the lineup. He has not exceeded 8.6 fantasy points in a game since Week 1 when Tagovailoa last played a full game. In the five games since, Waddle has only caught 17 passes for 160 yards. He also has not caught a touchdown this season. He has been completely unplayable but things are looking up. Luckily Waddle was able to participate in practice in some capacity so for now there is no immediate worry about his status for Sunday's game. However, fantasy managers should still monitor the situation on Thursday and Friday.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was officially back at practice on Wednesday and has a chance to come off Injured Reserve and play this Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals. It was reported on Tuesday that Tagovailoa would be a full-go in practice on Wednesday, so as long as he doesn't suffer a setback at practice, he could be cleared by an independent neurologist later this week and get the green light to return for the first time since suffering another scary concussion in Week 2. The 26-year-old obviously is an extreme injury risk and could be one more head injury from retirement, but he has low-end QB1 appeal in the right matchups when healthy. Tagovailoa's impending return is great news for fantasy managers of receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who have been untrustworthy ever since Tagovailoa was injured.UPDATE: Tagovailoa was limited in Wednesday's practice.
