Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Lions. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so we’re tentatively expecting him back after Carolina’s Week 5 bye. Coker’s absence tonight leaves Brycen Tremayne as Carolina’s No. 2 WR – and WR Tetairoa McMillan and TE Darren Waller as the top two target bets.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is "unlikely" to play vs. the Lions tonight, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Coker is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Carolina has a Week 5 bye coming up, though, so Coker can get extended time off before hopefully returning in Week 6. Carolina will also be without WR Xavier Legette (knee) tonight, leaving WR Brycen Tremayne as the likely No. 2. WR Tetairoa McMillan should be in for big volume, and TE Darren Waller could also get a target boost.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Lions. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, although it doesn’t sound like he did much in the portions of practice open to media. We’ll look for further updates on Coker, but the late kickoff could leave fantasy owners in a tough spot. WR Xavier Legette (knee) has been ruled out for Week 4. Coker’s absence would leave Brycen Tremayne as Carolina’s No. 2 WR – and WR Tetairoa McMillan and TE Darren Waller as the top two target bets.

TE Darren Waller has inked a one-year deal with the Panthers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Waller came out of retirement last year and put together nine efficient games for the Dolphins. He turns 34 in September but immediately becomes the favorite to lead a weak Panthers TE group.

The Dolphins placed TE Darren Waller (groin) on IR, knocking him out of Sunday's finale vs. the Patriots. That should mean a boost in routes for TE Greg Dulcich, who's caught 13 balls on limited playing time over the last four games. Dulcich is at least in play in daily tournament this weekend.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller (pectoral) returned from IR to catch 2 of 3 targets for 47 yards vs. New Orleans. Waller’s 69% route rate resembled his pre-injury role.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller (pectoral) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. It’s a boost for QB Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami offense, but Waller would be a shaky fantasy start in his first action since Week 7.

The Dolphins activated TE Darren Waller (pectoral) from IR, putting him on track to play vs. the Saints tomorrow. Waller has been sidelined since Week 7. He scored four TDs in his three full games earlier this season, averaging 4.0 targets, 3.3 catches, and 39 yards per. Waller is worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams, but we'd try not to use him in Week 13 lineups coming off the extended absence.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller (pectoral) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Saints. He was officially limited in practice all week (despite initially being listed as a full participant on Thursday). We’ll look for further updates on Waller and get Miami’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. But Waller would be tough to trust in fantasy lineups in his first action since Week 7.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller (pectoral) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. He seemingly has a legitimate chance to return for this weekend's game vs. the Saints. Waller posted 3-27-2, 5-78-1, and 2-12-1 receiving lines in his only three full games of the season. He'd be a risky fantasy start in his first action since Week 7, but Waller is certainly worth stashing in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.

The Dolphins have placed TE Darren Waller on IR for the pectoral strain that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Browns. That means he'll miss at least the next four games, a span that runs right into Miami's Week 12 bye.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller is considered "week to week" with a strained pectoral suffered in the Week 7 loss to the Browns, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's relatively good news considering a torn pec would have ended Waller's season. We'll look for a more concrete timetable for Waller's return, but he's worth keeping stashed on fantasy benches in most leagues, unless you have another locked-in top-10 TE rostered. Miami doesn't have a one-for-one replacement for Waller, so his absence should push more targets toward RB De'Von Achane and WR Jaylen Waddle.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller suffered a pectoral injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Browns and is questionable to return. He wasn't targeted before exiting. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Waller has been ruled out.

There's a wind advisory in effect in Cleveland until noon ET. The worst of it will be gone by kickoff, but we're still looking at winds around 20 mph with gusts of 30-35 for today's Dolphins-Browns game. There's also likely to be rain during this game. Ugly weather -- and certainly enough to impact the offenses. The over/under on this game has dropped from 39.5 on Thursday to 34.5. That's the lowest for any game this season. Expect both teams to lean more on the run and short-passing games. We'd avoid both QBs and Ks from this game. We've also moved Jaylen Waddle down the Week 7 WR rankings, although he remains in WR2 territory.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller collected 5 catches, 78 yards, and 1 score in Week 5. All of his production surfaced in the first half of a three-point loss at Carolina.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller delivered 3 catches, 27 yards, and 2 TDs in Monday's win over the Jets. Week 4 marked Waller’s 2025 debut.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is believed to have suffered a dislocated knee in Monday night's game vs. the Jets, according to multiple reports. He was transported from the stadium to the hospital to confirm that diagnosis and start getting treatment. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport notes that this injury "often comes with multiple ligament tears." Hill's 2025 season is over, and it's fair to wonder about his football career. He turns 32 in March.
