Skylar Thompson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson (rib) has been diagnosed with a rib injury he picked up in the team's 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. It's unclear when exactly he sustained the injury, but a hit by Dre'Mont Jones early in the third quarter is what eventually took him out of the game. Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that the injury is "pretty painful" and that Thompson lobbied to stay in the game. However, the pain was ultimately too much. Tests will undoubtedly be done on the 27-year-old over the coming few days. Fortunately for Miami, their Week 4 matchup against the Tennessee Titans is on Monday night, so the veteran QB will be afforded a few extra days of rest. If Thompson is too hurt to play, Tim Boyle will again slot in as the Fins' starter. Additionally, seeing the team inquire about veteran help at the position wouldn't be surprising.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson (chest) won't return to the Week 3 meeting with the Seahawks. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) sidelined, Thompson has been under center for the Dolphins. Unfortunately, the Fins' issues continued, as the signal-caller took a hit that sent him to the locker room. Thompson will finish Week 3 by throwing for 107 yards off 13-for-19 passing, with veteran Tim Boyle taking over in relief. The Dolphins won't play again until Monday night in Week 4, so Thompson has more time to recover, assuming the injury isn't severe. If he misses time, the Dolphins may need to sign someone, with veteran Ryan Tannehill likely to draw interest from the organization.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson (undisclosed) exited Sunday's meeting with the Seahawks. It's unknown what's ailing the signal-caller. But he took a tough shot in the second half. Starting for Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), Thompson should be considered questionable to return. If he doesn't make it back to the field, he'll finish with Week 3 by throwing for 107 yards off 13-for-19 passing. Tim Boyle, recently elevated from the practice squad, is in under center, possibly for the remainder of the contest.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson will not be a viable fantasy option when the team faces the Seattle Seahawks on the road in Week 3. He will man the helm in Miami for at least the foreseeable future, with starter Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on injured reserve. Thompson saw extended play this preseason and regularly hooked up with the tight ends and running backs in the passing game. However, not much can be gleaned from his rapport with the wideouts, as Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle did not appear in preseason action. The Dolphins' offensive skill players will get a downgrade across the board, with the 27-year-old under-center. That's reflected in the 41-point combined-point total in their tilt against Seattle. The former Kansas State quarterback is not a suggestion outside of a desperation play in 2QB formats with passing numbers down league-wide thus far in 2024.

Updating a previous report, CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones reports that Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson will start in Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The Dolphins are taking it "day by day" with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) after he suffered another scary concussion in last Thursday night's loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills. If the Dolphins place him on Injured Reserve, he would miss a minimum of four games, pending him passing the league's concussion protocol. A previous report suggests that Tagovailoa hasn't been ruled out for Week 3 yet, but that seems like only a matter of time. Tagovailoa is back with the team, but his health and well-being are of utmost concern right now. Fantasy managers relying on him in one- or two-QB leagues should have already made alternate plans for the upcoming weeks. Thompson is only worth a waiver pickup as a bench stash in superflex formats.
