Julian Hill Julian Hill Afterthought in receiving game Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 2:14 PM Hill was not targeted during Miami's 34-10 win over the Jets on Sunday. Analysis: Hill started at tight end for the Dolphins and played 51 percent of offensive snaps versus New York, but as usual he was asked to contribute essentially entirely as a blocker. Elsewhere at the tight end position, both Darren Waller (one catch for 13 yards on three targets) and Greg Dulcich (three catches for 41 yards on three targets) are involved in the receiving game behind Jaylen Waddle, leaving few if any targets up for grab for Hill on a weekly basis. He can be safely left off the fantasy radar heading into a road matchup against the Steelers on Monday Night Football.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Nick Westbrook-Ikhine No targets for third straight game Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 2:10 PM Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted during Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets. Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine has now gone three straight contests without recording any statistics on offense, though he did record two tackles (one solo) versus New York while supplying coverage against punt and kick returns. While Westbrook-Ikhine played 34 percent of offensive snaps against the Jets, his highest share since Week 10, he remains definitively off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 15 road matchup against the Steelers on Monday Night Football.
Malik Washington Malik Washington Secures three of four targets Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 2:03 PM Washington caught three of four targets for 10 yards during Miami's 34-10 win over the Jets on Sunday. Analysis: Washington finished second on the team in terms of targets, behind only Jaylen Waddle (3-50-1 on seven targets), though Tua Tagovailoa looked the way of Darren Waller, Greg Dulcich, and Jaylen Wright three times each, and the early departure of De'Von Achane (ribs) knocked out one of the Dolphins' usual top contributors in the passing game. Though Washington has established a fair floor with at least three catches in eight of his last nine appearances, he's yet to surpass 50 receiving yards this season and lacks a demonstrable ceiling heading into Miami's matchup against the Steelers on Monday Night Football in Week 15.
De'Von Achane De'Von Achane Practice participation this week TBD Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 1:17 PM Achane (ribs) could rest some during practice this week, according to C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald. Analysis: Achane underwent an MRI after sustaining a rib injury in Sunday's victory over the Jets. Although it was determined the running back is not dealing with a serious setback, head coach Mike McDaniel revealed that Achane "needs treatment," which could affect his practice participation this week. Miami will face Pittsburgh on Monday night in Week 15, so while that will afford Achane more rest, it will also likely delay the next official update on the running back's status until Thursday.
Greg Dulcich Greg Dulcich Three catches in blowout win Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 10:56 PM Dulcich caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets. Analysis: Dulcich was able to reel in his most passes since Week 9, garnering two more targets than fellow tight end Darren Waller (1). Dulcich nearly had an even more substantial output, getting knocked out of bounds at the Jets' five-yard line on a 12-yard catch in the first quarter. The tight end will look to snag multiple passes for a fourth game in a row when the Dolphins travel to face Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football in Week 15.
Darren Waller Darren Waller One catch against Jets Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 4:52 PM Waller caught one of three targets for 13 yards and added a four-yard carry in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets. Analysis: Waller was outplayed by Greg Dulcich, who caught all three of his targets for 41 yards. The last time Waller had more than three targets in a game was his second appearance for the Dolphins in Week 5, though Waller has been limited to only four subsequent appearances by a pectoral injury that led to a stint on injured reserve. Up next for Waller and the Dolphins is a Week 15 trip to Pittsburgh.
Ollie Gordon Ollie Gordon Backs up Wright after Achane injury Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 4:51 PM Gordon rushed five times for 17 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets. Analysis: Jaylen Wright (24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown) was the primary beneficiary of De'Von Achane's (ribs) second-quarter exit, but Gordon contributed a seven-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. More opportunities could be available for both Wright and Gordon if Achane's sidelined or limited against the Steelers in Week 15. Gordon has scored a rushing touchdown in two of his last three games, but the rookie sixth-round pick hasn't exceeded 46 rushing yards in any game.
Tua Tagovailoa Tua Tagovailoa Modest numbers in run-heavy win Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 4:06 PM Tagovailoa completed 13 of 21 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for no gain in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets. Analysis: Tagovailoa absorbed a big hit but delivered a three-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle on the opening drive. Miami's other three touchdowns all came on the ground, with De'Von Achane (ribs), Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon each scoring one. Achane exited in the second quarter, so the Dolphins went heavier on traditional runs rather than the screen passes that usually allow Achane to contribute as a receiver in space while padding Tagovailoa's passing stats. Tagovailoa notoriously struggles in cold conditions, and after this unimpressive statistical outing, he seems unlikely to heat up literally or figuratively in Week 15 at Pittsburgh.
Jaylen Waddle Jaylen Waddle Five catches, including early TD Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 4:05 PM Waddle caught five of seven targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets. He also rushed once for 21 yards. Analysis: Waddle capped the opening drive with a three-yard touchdown catch. Miami went with a run-heavy approach the rest of the way while playing with the lead and facing third-string Jets quarterback Brady Cook for most of the game, but Waddle still reached the five-catch threshold for the eighth time this season while leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. Waddle will have a nice opportunity to build on this outing in Week 15 against a Steelers defense that has struggled to contain wide receivers.
De'Von Achane De'Von Achane Could have returned Sunday, per coach Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 4:03 PM Coach Mike McDaniel noted after Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets that Achane (rib) was available to return to return to the contest in an emergency, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Analysis: McDaniel acknowledged that Achane was hurting after exiting the game with a rib issue, but it looks like the running back has a chance to avoid missing further game action, given that he did not suffer a fracture, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. That said, we'd expect Achane's name to appear on Miami's injury report ahead of the team's Nov. 15 game against the Steelers. With Achane logging just seven carries Sunday, Jaylen Wright saw added work, carrying 24 times for 107 yards and a TD, while Ollie Gordon mixed in with five carries for 17 yards and a TD.
Jaylen Wright Jaylen Wright Tops 100 yards as Achane gets hurt Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 3:31 PM Wright rushed 24 times for 107 yards and a touchdown but didn't catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets. Analysis: Wright's two-yard touchdown run in the first quarter came prior to De'Von Achane's second-quarter departure from the game due to a rib injury. Ollie Gordon added a touchdown run in the second half but posted only 17 rushing yards on his five carries. If Achane doesn't return in Week 15 against the Steelers, Wright could work as the lead back ahead of Gordon in a Dolphins offense that relies heavily on its running backs.
De'Von Achane De'Von Achane Sustains rib injury Sunday Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 1:25 PM Achane exited Sunday's game against the Jets with a rib injury. Analysis: Prior to leaving Sunday's contest, Achane carried seven times for 92 yards and a TD and caught his only target for 13 yards. In his absence, Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon are available to handle Miami's backfield duties.
Zach Wilson Zach Wilson Active for Week 14 Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 10:48 AM Wilson (illness) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Jets. Analysis: Wilson was added to the injury report Saturday due to an illness and was deemed questionable for Sunday. However, the veteran quarterback is feeling well enough to suit up against the team that drafted him second overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. Wilson will once again serve as Tua Tagovailoa's backup in Week 14.
Quinn Ewers Quinn Ewers Emergency QB3 for Week 14 Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 10:46 AM Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets but will serve as the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback. Analysis: As the emergency QB3, Ewers is not allowed to see the field Sunday unless both Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
Zach Wilson Zach Wilson Questionable with illness Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 7:08 PM Wilson (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports. Analysis: Wilson was promoted to the No. 2 QB behind Tua Tagovailoa on Oct. 26, but a sudden illness means the quarterback may not be able to play against his former team. If Wilson's immune system is unable to fight off the sickness before Sunday's game, Quinn Ewers would serve as Tagovailoa's backup for the second time this season.
Alec Ingold Alec Ingold Full participant Thursday Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 4:48 PM Ingold (neck) was a full participant in practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinelreports. Analysis: Ingold was limited in practice Wednesday, but upgraded to full participation Thursday and was cleared of injury designation for Week 14. The 29-year-old has appeared on special teams this season, but a majority of his snaps have come on offense, averaging about 20.3 offensive snaps per game. The seventh-year pro has rushed two times for nine yards and caught five passes (seven targets) for 36 yards through 13 games.
Alec Ingold Alec Ingold Logs limited practice Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 5:59 PM Ingold (shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Analysis: Ingold picked up this shoulder injury during this past Sunday's win over the Saints. He's considered day-to-day at this point, giving him a good chance to play this Sunday versus the Jets. Ingold has played 20.3 offensive snaps per game, rushing two times for nine yards and catching five passes (seven targets) for 36 yards.
Ollie Gordon Ollie Gordon Works alongside Wright Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 11:24 PM Gordon rushed three times for 10 yards during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints. Analysis: Gordon logged the same number of carries as usual No. 2 running back Jaylen Wright, who managed 16 yards on the ground. Both remain in clear reserve roles behind starter De'Von Achane, who had 22 carries for a whopping 134 yards and one score, but Gordon may be facing actual competition for Wright as the clear No. 2 back in Miami heading into a Week 14 divisional matchup against the Jets.
Jaylen Wright Jaylen Wright Splits carries with Gordon Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 11:22 PM Wright carried the ball three times for 16 yards during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints. Analysis: Wright logged the same amount of carries as No. 2 running back Ollie Gordon, who garnered 10 rushing yards. Meanwhile, De'Von Achane racked up 134 rushing yards and one touchdown across his 22 carries. Wright will continue competing with Gordon for reserve opportunities as the Dolphins head into a Week 14 divisional matchup against the Jets.
Alec Ingold Alec Ingold Considered day-to-day Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 1:50 PM Ingold is considered day-to-day after sustaining a shoulder injury in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Analysis: The veteran fullback's practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up for Miami's Week 14 matchup against the Jets on Sunday. Ingold has appeared in all 12 of the Dolphins' games this season, rushing twice for nine yards and catching five of seven targets for 36 yards.
