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.
Malik Washington Malik Washington Four catches in win Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 7:36 PM Washington caught four of five targets for 30 yards in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday. Analysis: Washington's five targets were one fewer than Jaylen Waddle's six for the team lead on a day Tua Tagovailoa dropped back to pass 27 times. Washington has operated as the Dolphins' WR2 by default since Tyreek Hill suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4, but Washington has shown no ceiling, as he's failed to reach 50 receiving yards in any of his 12 appearances this season. He carries minimal fantasy appeal headed into a Week 14 date with the Jets.
Tua Tagovailoa Tua Tagovailoa Muted performance in Week 13 win Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 5:44 PM Tagovailoa completed 12 of 23 passes for 157 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while rushing four times for four yards in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday. Analysis: Tagovailoa's middling numbers tell the tale of a low-volume, inefficient day for the Dolphins' air attack, one that saw the veteran signal-caller finish with his seventh sub-200-yard tally of the season and lowest figure since Week 7. Tagovailoa also extended his touchdown drought to two games, and he's gone without a scoring toss in four of his last six contests overall. Given recent performances and what could be inclement early-December weather in New York, Tagovailoa doesn't profile as a particularly appealing fantasy option in a Week 14 road clash with the Jets next Sunday.
Jaylen Waddle Jaylen Waddle Quiet day in Week 13 win Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 5:38 PM Waddle brought in three of six targets for 40 yards in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday. Analysis: Waddle finished with the second-most receiving yards on the afternoon for the Dolphins after a slow start, and he also set the pace in targets. Waddle's yardage total, his lowest since Week 7, wasn't as extraordinary when considering Tua Tagovailoa passed for only 157 yards overall on the day. Waddle should remain a key part of the air attack in a Week 14 road matchup against the Jets.
De'Von Achane De'Von Achane Over 100 yards again Sunday Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 5:02 PM Achane rushed 22 times for 134 yards and a touchdown while failing to bring in his only target in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday. Analysis: Achane finished with his second-highest rushing yardage total of the campaign with the help of three double-digit-yardage runs, including a 29-yard scoring scamper to cap off the opening possession of the contest. Achane's rushing volume has unsurprisingly ticked up over the course of the season as the Dolphins manage the absence of Tyreek Hill (IR, knee), and the explosive back now has three straight games with 21 or more carries heading into a Week 14 road matchup against the Jets.
Darren Waller Darren Waller Team-high yardage in return Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 4:18 PM Waller (pectoral), who was activated from injured reserve Saturday, brought in two of three targets for 47 yards in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday. Analysis: Making his return from a minimum four-game stay on injured reserve, Waller finished with a team-high yardage total on a low-volume day for the Dolphins' air attack. The veteran tight end also came close to securing his fifth touchdown reception of the season in the second half, and he turned in an encouraging performance overall. Waller figures to remain a key part of the passing game down the stretch as Miami tries to complete a longshot bid for a wild-card spot.
Alec Ingold Alec Ingold Questionable to return Sunday Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 1:18 PM Ingold is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints due to a stinger. Analysis: The fullback did not record a stat before exiting. Ingold has just two carries for nine yards and five catches for 36 yards on the year.
Quinn Ewers Quinn Ewers Serving as emergency No. 3 QB again Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 10:45 AM Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive and working as the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback for Sunday's Week 13 game against New Orleans. Analysis: This is a familiar role for Ewers, who is behind both Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson on Miami's QB depth chart. In order for Ewers to be eligible to enter Sunday's contest, both Tagovailoa and Wilson would need to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.
Darren Waller Darren Waller Active versus New Orleans Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 10:40 AM Waller (pectoral) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Saints. Analysis: Waller, who last saw game action in Week 7, had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday and then logged three straight limited practices before being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. The tight end was subsequently activated from IR on Saturday, setting the stage for his return to action versus New Orleans. Prior to being sidelined, Waller caught 10 passes (on 12 targets) for 117 yards and four touchdowns in four games, and now that he's back in the mix, he'll join WRs Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington along with RB De'Von Achane as one of the Dolphins' top options in the passing game, a context that makes him worthy of roster/lineup consideration for those in need of TE help in Week 13 and beyond.
Darren Waller Darren Waller Activated from IR Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 3:15 PM The Dolphins activated Waller (pectoral) from injured reserve Saturday. Analysis: Waller is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, but his activation from IR indicates that he'll be cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a pectoral injury. Waller's return will shrink the offensive roles of fellow tight ends Greg Dulcich and Julian Hill. Waller caught 10 passes (on 12 targets) for 117 yards and four touchdowns in the four games prior to his injury.
Darren Waller Darren Waller Set to be activated from IR Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 1:19 PM Waller (pectoral) is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Analysis: Waller was cleared to return to practice Wednesday and was a limited participant throughout Week 13 prep. Despite the lack of a full practice, the veteran tight end appears to have progressed enough in his recovery from a pectoral injury to be activated from IR. Waller's return gives quarterback Tua Tagovailoa another big target in the passing game, particularly in the red zone, as Waller hauled in four touchdown passes from Weeks 4 to 6. Waller may have his snap count limited Sunday, but his return means Greg Dulcich and Julian Hill will see less work on offense.
Darren Waller Darren Waller Questionable, still on IR Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 2:45 PM Waller (pectoral) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. Analysis: Miami designated Waller for return from injured reserve Wednesday, after which he cobbled together three straight limited practices. Per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, coach Mike McDaniel said Friday regarding Waller's chances to suit up this weekend that "if there's not a setback, I'm feeling optimistic." The Dolphins will need to activate Waller from IR by Saturday afternoon for him to have a chance to be active for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
Darren Waller Darren Waller Could return this week Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 10:52 AM Coach Mike McDaniel noted Friday that Waller (pectoral) is "in play" to return to action Sunday against the Saints, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: At this stage, McDaniel indicated that he's optimistic about the tight end's Week 13 status but acknowledged that whether the Dolphins elect to activate Waller of IR is dependent on how things go for him in Friday's practice. Waller has logged back-to-back limited sessions since having his 21-day practice window opened.
Jaylen Waddle Jaylen Waddle Resumes practicing in full Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 2:54 PM Waddle (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Analysis: Waddle emerged from Miami's bye with a foot injury that caused him to be limited in practice Wednesday, but he can now be considered fully on track for Sunday's game against the Saints. Meanwhile, tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) has logged back-to-back limited sessions since having his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, making him a tentative candidate to get back on the field Week 13. Whenever Waller is able to return to the lineup, his ability to command attention from opposing defense could open things up for Waddle, who has been clearly entrenched as the No. 1 wideout for Miami since Tyreek Hill (ACL) suffered a season-ending injury Week 4.
Dee Eskridge Dee Eskridge Full participant in practice Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 6:52 PM Eskridge (shoulder) was a full participant in Miami's practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Analysis: Eskridge is healthy again after having missed the last two games with a shoulder injury. The 28-year-old should resume his role as one of the team's kick returners during Sunday's matchup versus the Saints.
Darren Waller Darren Waller Limited in return to practice Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 3:54 PM Waller (pectoral) has had his 21-day practice window opened and was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Analysis: Waller is practicing for the first time since suffering a pectoral injury Week 7 versus the Browns and being placed on IR. While it's possible the veteran tight end could gain clearance to retake the field as early as Sunday's contest against the Saints, he may first need to prove an ability to handle full practice reps. Once back in action, Waller will join Jaylen Waddle (foot), Malik Washington and RB De'Von Achane as one of the Dolphins' top options in the passing game. In the event that Waller misses any more time, Greg Dulcich will continue to operate as Miami's top pass-catching tight end.
Jaylen Waddle Jaylen Waddle Emerges from bye with foot injury Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 3:46 PM Waddle (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Analysis: Waddle previously managed a shoulder injury in September and a hamstring issue in October, but Wednesday's practice report is the first time this season he's been listed with a foot issue. So far, those injuries haven't prevented the 27-year-old wideout from suiting up for all 11 of Miami's regular-season games, in which span he's racked up a 49-722-5 receiving line on 73 targets. As long as Waddle is able to maintain at least limited activity during the Dolphins' remaining two practices of Week 13, it will bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday versus the Saints.
Darren Waller Darren Waller Will return to practice Wednesday Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 10:19 AM Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Waller (pectoral) will be designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Analysis: Waller suffered a pectoral injury Week 7 against the Browns but appears to be nearing a return to action, as Wednesday's activation will open his 21-day practice window. He's appeared in just four games this season, producing a 10-117-4 line on 12 targets as a red-zone presence for the Dolphins. Greg Dulcich and Julian Hill have been Miami's top tight-end options in Waller's absence.
