River Cracraft's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Miami Dolphins wide receiver River Cracraft has been mostly a nonfactor in 2024. After suffering a shoulder injury in the preseason, Cracraft was activated off IR in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Rams. With the injury to Jaylen Waddle (knee), Cracraft saw his first targets of the season in Weeks 15 and 16, totaling two receptions on four targets for 12 yards. With Waddle questionable and having a chance to suit up, he will likely continue to see limited opportunities. To make matters worse, rain is in the forecast for their matchup against the Cleveland Browns. He should be left on benches for championship week.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver River Cracraft hauled in his first reception during last week's game against the Houston Texans. The veteran wideout missed the first nine weeks of the season due to a shoulder injury. Since returning, Cracraft has been primarily playing on special teams, but he could see more chances as a wideout in Week 16. Currently, wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (knee) is doubtful while Tyreek Hill (wrist) is listed as questionable, but he's expected to play. If one or both receivers sit out that could probably mean more run for Cracraft as a wideout. Despite the increased snaps, Cracraft remains an extremely risky fantasy option given he hasn't done much at all up to this point.

The Miami Dolphins activated wide receiver River Cracraft (shoulder) off Injured Reserve before their Monday night game against the Los Angeles Rams and also signed defensive tackle Neil Farrell to the active 53-man roster and placed offensive lineman Austin Jackson (knee) on IR. Cracraft will be making his 2024 debut on Monday night against the Rams, although he's expected to have a minimal role on offense, even if No. 1 wideout Tyreek Hill (wrist) isn't cleared to play. It remains to be seen if Cracraft's activation means that the Dolphins are preparing to be without Hill for this primetime contest. The 30-year-old Cracraft can remain on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues. In his two years with Miami in 2022 and 2023, he caught 18 passes for 223 yards and three touchdowns in 21 games (one start).UPDATE: Cracraft is not active for Thursday's game against the Rams.
