Fantasy Impact: Burrow stated that he is looking for something that will show he is back at 100 percent, but will not share what that is. Burrow underwent an emergency appendectomy in July and has been working his way back to full strength. The former first-overall draft pick is currently the QB6 in consensus ADP, according to FantasyPros.
Logan Thomas participated in team drills Wednesday

Fantasy Impact: Thomas was activated from the PUP list on Monday and returned to the team after recovering from a major knee injury. Thomas is currently the TE26 in PPR ADP and has a chance to outperform that with Carson Wentz at the helm.
Miles Sanders still not practicing Wednesday

Fantasy Impact: Head coach Nick Sirianni said the team is being cautious, and the focus is on getting Sanders healthy. Based on Sirianni’s comments, Sanders will likely miss the final preseason game in Miami Saturday. With no timetable for a return to the field, Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell become viable options should Sanders miss time in the regular season.
Jaylen Waddle sits out practice Wednesday

Fantasy Impact: Waddle also sat out Saturday’s preseason game against the Raiders. With the final week of the preseason ahead, it makes sense for the Dolphins to not rush Waddle back from an injury. The 23-year-old is being drafted as the WR14 in PPR ADP, according to FantasyPros.
