Fantasy Impact: Hill wanted to fight through the injury to be there for his team, which is why he didn't undergo the advised surgery. His name has been in the rumor mill after he seemed to request a trade following the Dolphins Week 18 loss against the Jets, but Miami GM Chris Grier later said that Hill has not requested a trade. Hill remains a player to monitor throughout the offseason.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) is officially active for Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Waddle was limited in two practice sessions this week and was considered questionable to suit up Sunday. Backup QB Tyler Huntley will have Waddle and Tyreek Hill available against the Jets.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is officially inactive for Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Tagovailoa was considered doubtful to play in the regular season finale against the Jets. Tyler Huntley will draw the start for the second consecutive week. Tagovailoa is hopeful that he would be ready to play if the Dolphins are able to make the playoffs.

Fantasy Impact: Head coach Mike McDaniel stated that the team is preparing as through Huntley will start against the Jets. Tua Tagovailoa is expected to be limited in practice Wednesday with a hip injury.

Jason Sanders made both of his field goal attempts, including a 39-yarder before halftime, and converted both extra points. His reliable kicking added stability to the Dolphins' scoring efforts as they controlled the game from start to finish.

Fantasy Impact: Sanders continues to provide consistent value for fantasy managers. His steady performance this season keeps him as a solid option for managers looking for dependable points at the kicker position. With Miami pushing for the playoffs, Sanders should have further opportunities to contribute.

Jonnu Smith caught three passes for 26 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown from quarterback Tyler Huntley in the fourth quarter. This touchdown tied the Dolphins' franchise record for receiving touchdowns by a tight end, marking Smith's seventh of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Smith's consistent red-zone involvement enhances his value in fantasy leagues, particularly for managers seeking reliable tight end options. With seven touchdowns this season, he remains a strong starting choice as the Dolphins continue their playoff pursuit.

Malik Washington caught 4 passes for 41 yards in the Miami Dolphins’ 20-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. While Washington wasn’t a primary focus in the offense, his ability to secure key receptions helped sustain drives and added depth to the Dolphins' passing attack, complementing Tyreek Hill’s standout performance.

Fantasy Impact: Washington’s modest production reflects his current role as a secondary option in the Dolphins’ offense. While he has shown flashes of reliability, his value remains limited to deeper leagues or dynasty formats. Managers should view him as a depth piece rather than a starter, as the Dolphins lean on established playmakers during their playoff push.

De’Von Achane had a tough outing in the Miami Dolphins’ 20-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. He carried the ball 10 times for just 25 yards, averaging 2.5 yards per carry, with no touchdowns. The Browns’ defense stifled Miami’s run game, leaving Achane unable to break free for any significant gains. His performance was a major letdown for fantasy managers expecting more production.

Fantasy Impact: Achane’s poor showing is a blow to fantasy managers relying on his upside during championship week. While his potential remains high due to his explosiveness, this game highlights the risk of relying on him in matchups against strong run defenses. Heading into the final week of the season, Achane should be viewed as a boom-or-bust flex option rather than a reliable starter.

Fantasy Impact: Thompson will likely serve as the backup to Tyler Huntley if Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is unable to suit up. Huntley is expected to start against the Browns with Tagovailoa listed as doubtful.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said they won't activate Bradley Chubb off the PUP list. (Source: David Furones on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The 21-day practice window expires for Chubb this week. He wasn't healthy enough to return so he won't play again this season.

Fantasy Impact: Miami signed DT Neil Farrell to the practice squad as the corresponding move.

The Miami Dolphins D/ST registered three sacks and one interception in the team's 29-17 Week 16 win over the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact: The Dolphins D/ST produced a respectable effort against the 49ers. They'll serve as a strong streaming option versus the lowly Browns for Week 17.

Raheem Mostert ran eight times for 31 yards and hauled in both of his targets for 15 yards in Miami's Week 16 win against San Francisco.

Fantasy Impact: Mostert once again took a backseat to counterpart De'Von Achane. Due to limited volume, fantasy managers cannot trust Mostert in lineups for championship week.

Dee Eskridge (knee) is not expected to play in Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. (Source: David Furones on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Eskridge is likely to be inactive on Sunday. He's dealing with a knee injury at the moment, and he wasn't able to practice all week because of it. Rookie Malik Washington is likely to see a lot of work in Week 16 with both Eskridge and Jaylen Waddle (knee) doubtful to play for Miami.

Terron Armstead was seen at practice on Friday. (Source: David Furones on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Armstead was seen stretching at the start of practice. It gives him a chance to be good to go after back-to-back missed practices.

Jordan Poyer was back at practice on Thursday. (Source: David Furones on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Poyer opened the week missing practice with a rest day on Wednesday. He should be a full-go for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Calais Campbell was back at practice on Thursday. (Source: David Furones on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Campbell got a rest day to open the week on Wednesday. He should be a full-go for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Kendall Lamm was back at practice on Thursday. (Source: David Furones on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lamm opened the week missing practice on Wednesday. His return on Thursday puts him on track to be good to go for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact: McQuaide will hold depth at long snapper for Miami.

Fantasy Impact: McKenzie lands with Miami after Grant DuBose was placed on the injured reserve list. He'll hold a depth role among Dolphins wide receivers.
