Miami has chosen Jeff Hafley to be the next head coach, according to multiple reports. Hafley spent the past two years as Green Bay's defensive coordinator after four as Boston College HC. His previous NFL experience included:

• three years as 49ers DBs coach (one under Chip Kelly, two under Kyle Shanahan)
• two years as Browns CBs coach (both under Mike Pettine)
• and two coaching DBs in Tampa (both under Greg Schiano)

It seemed immediately after Week 18 that Miami would proceed with HC Mike McDaniel in place. But that changed Thursday when the team fired him. That move follows the in-season ouster of GM Chris Grier. McDaniel spent the past four years at the Dolphins helm after one year as 49ers OC and four others as run-game coordinator.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Miami Dolphins have benched QB Tua Tagovailoa and will start seventh-round rookie Quinn Ewers against the Bengals. The news doesn't come as a shock, following Miami's Monday night loss to Pittsburgh that officially eliminated the Dolphins from playoff contention. HC Mike McDaniel opened the door for the move after the game, saying the QB play wasn't good enough and "everything is on the table."

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 RB De’Von Achane tallied 98 total yards in Sunday’s blowout loss to Cleveland. Achane’s now hit that number in five of seven games this season.

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 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 caught 4 of 6 targets for 40 yards in Sunday's blowout loss to the Colts. He was checked for a concussion at one point but ultimately returned.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jets. QB Tyler Huntley gets his second straight start and is on the radar in superflex leagues and DFS tournaments. He threw for 225 and a score last week, adding another 52 yards and a TD on the ground.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is not expected to play vs. the Jets today and would be iffy for the Wild Card round if Miami qualifies, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Tagovailoa is dealing with a "unique hip injury, which is affecting the surrounding muscles and therefore his strength and mobility, along with leaving him vulnerable to further injury," Rapoport writes. It's the same hip that Tagovailoa had surgically repaired while at Alabama in 2019. We'll see if QB Tyler Huntley can lead Miami to a win today. The Fins would also need a Broncos loss to the Chiefs to make the playoffs. It doesn't sound like Tagovailoa's hip injury is a long-term concern.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. QB Tyler Huntley is expected to make his second straight start. He played well last week, completing 22 of 26 passes (85%) for 225 yards (8.7 YPA) and one TD, adding another 52 yards and a score on the ground. Huntley is in play in superflex leagues and DFS tournaments.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that the team is preparing QB Tyler Huntley to start this weekend's game vs. the Jets. QB Tua Tagovailoa will be limited in practice on Wednesday with his hip injury, and it sounds like he hasn't been ruled out for Week 18 yet. But fantasy owners should be planning as if it'll be Huntley under center again for now. He played well in the Week 17 win over the Browns, completing 22 of 26 passes (85%) for 225 yards (8.7 YPA) and one TD, adding another 52 yards and a score on the ground. Just as importantly, the Dolphins stayed pass-heavy, registering a +11% pass rate over expected. That makes it easier to trust guys like WR Tyreek Hill and TE Jonnu Smith in Week 18 fantasy lineups, although Huntley is still a downgrade from Tagovailoa.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said after Sunday's win over the Browns that it's too early to know whether QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) will be able to play vs. the Jets next weekend. McDaniel added that Tagovailoa was not medically cleared to play today. The Dolphins will get the AFC's No. 7 seed if they beat the Jets and the Broncos lose to the Chiefs. QB Tyler Huntley played a clean game in Cleveland, completing 22 of 26 passes for 225 yards, one TD, and 0 INTs and running seven times for 52 yards and a score.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Browns. That leaves QB Tyler Huntley under center. Miami registered a 43.6% pass rate across Huntley’s three starts earlier this season, averaging just 135 passing yards per game. Expect another run-heavy attack today in a game with a 32.5-point over/under. Huntley isn’t even a recommended QB2 in fantasy lineups and is a big downgrade for Miami’s pass-catchers.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has been downgraded to Doubtful for Sundays game against the Browns. It is unlikely he will play putting QB Tyler Huntley in line to star
