Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) is out for this weekend’s game vs. the Bengals. Malik Washington and Chris Bell will continue to serve as Miami’s top 2 WRs.

Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) is out for this weekend’s game vs. the Vikings. Malik Washington and Chris Bell will again operate as Miami’s top 2 WRs in this one. Neither is an exciting fantasy play against Minnesota’s 12th-ranked WR defense.

The Dolphins have lost RB De'Von Achane for the season after he tore his left ACL in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Ollie Gordon stepped in to play 61 snaps against Kansas City after Achane lasted just four snaps. RB Jaylen Wright was inactive with a pair of injuries.

The Dolphins announced Monday that they have activated WR Chris Bell from the non-football injury list. The third-round pick opened camp with that designation while working back from the knee injury that ended his final college season in November.

Dolphins rookie WR Caleb Douglas has “shot up the depth chart” in training camp, according to ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques. His preseason usage backed up the buzz. Douglas played 100% of Miami’s first-team snaps during the starting offense’s lone 14-play drive.

Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich missed his second straight day of practice Monday, according to multiple reports. Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports that the injury "is not considered serious."

Dolphins WR Chris Bell had ACL surgery in December but appears close to returning. HC Jeff Hafley said Bell is "not very far away," per Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post, and seemed to put the timeline closer to weeks than months. Bell already completed the Dolphins conditioning test and will be running at the start of camp.

The Miami Dolphins selected Missouri WR Kevin Coleman Jr. in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Coleman’s college career was a tour. He opened at Jackson State under Deion Sanders, transferred to Louisville for 2023, and then broke out at Mississippi State in 2024. Coleman caught 74 balls for 932 yards and 6 TDs that year – all team highs. His 2.32 yards per route ranked 57th among 260 FBS WRs with 50+ targets. Coleman transferred to Missouri this past year and again led his team in receptions (66) and receiving yards (732). He ranked 18th in targets per route (0.26) and 26th in yards per route (2.23) among the 49 WRs invited to this year’s Combine. Coleman goes just 5’10, 179 pounds and looks like a slot-only player in the NFL. He logged 92% of his snaps inside in college and registered a career 9.5-yard average target depth. That leaves him with a relatively unexciting fantasy ceiling.

The Miami Dolphins selected Texas Tech WR Caleb Douglas in Round 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Douglas boasts an enticing combination of size and athleticism. He’s 6’4, 206 pounds with a 4.39-second 40 time, registering a 9.50 Relative Athletic Score. Those gifts never resulted in big college production, though. Douglas totaled just 21 catches across his freshman and sophomore seasons at Florida before transferring to Texas Tech. He finished second on the team in catches (60), receiving yards (877), and TDs (6) in 2024 but averaged a middling 2.00 yards per route. Douglas’ production and efficiency declined this past year. He posted a 54-846-7 line on 1.77 yards per route – 35th among the 49 WRs invited to the Combine. Douglas is a legit vertical threat and flashes plus ball skills. But his hands are inconsistent and can get pushed around by physical CBs. There’s enough here to keep Douglas on the fantasy radar, but he’s a long shot to emerge as more than a spike-week, best-ball target.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ribs) is not expected to play vs. the Patriots today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. RB De'Von Achane (shoulder), who's listed as doubtful, is also expected to miss. And TE Darren Waller (groin) has already been ruled out. Expect a run-centric game plan for at least however long the Fins can keep this one close. WR Malik Washington and TE Greg Dulcich are the team's best target bets.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa completed 20 of 26 passes for 205 yards and 4 TDs in Sunday's surprising win over Atlanta. Miami's 34 points set a season high.

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.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill suffered a gruesome left knee injury in the third quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Jets. Trainers rushed to stabilize the knee in an air cast before Hill was carted off the field. This looks like a season-ending injury, but we'll update Hill's status when we know more. It's a huge loss for the Dolphins offense and will open up considerable target opportunity for WRs Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, TE Darren Waller, and RB De'Von Achane.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill missed his third consecutive practice on Friday due to an oblique injury, according to David Furones of Sun Sentinel.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Dolphins have "had trade discussions" with the Steelers about TE Jonnu Smith.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the 49ers. Waddle has had an underwhelming season and ranks just fourth among Dolphins in targets. But he still leaves behind 5.3 targets per game. His absence means added target upside for WR Tyreek Hill, TE Jonnu Smith, and RB De'Von Achane. Rookie Malik Washington figures to slide in as Miami's No. 2 WR but is really only in play in DFS tournaments.

The Dolphins and WR Odell Beckham have "mutually agreed to part ways," NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Beckham missed the first four games of the season after offseason knee surgery and caught just nine balls for 55 yards over the last nine. He ran fewer pass routes than WR Malik Washington in each of the last two games. Beckham's days as a fantasy asset are long gone.

Dolphins WR Malik Washington (quad) is out for Sunday’s opener vs. the Jaguars. The rookie went from limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday to no practice on Friday. With WR Odell Beckham on the PUP list, Miami is woefully thin at WR entering Week 1. Braxton Berrios will be the No. 3 WR on Sunday. Grant DuBose is currently the only other WR on the roster besides Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. RB De’Von Achane and TE Jonnu Smith could be big parts of the passing game this weekend.
