Xavien Howard, Salvon Ahmed Inactive In Week 5

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (groin) and running back Salvon Ahmed (back) are both officially inactive in Week 5 against the New York Jets.

Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle Active Against Jets

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) and Jaylen Waddle (groin) are both active in Week 5 against the New York Jets.

Barring A Setback, Jaylen Waddle Will Play In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (groin) will play in Week 5 against the Jets, barring a setback, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.

Tyreek Hill Likely Good To Go For AFC East Battle

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) is expected to suit up for Sunday's AFC East showdown with the New York Jets.

Should I Start Kenny Pickett In Week 5? Fantasy Football Outlook

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett will make his first career start on Sunday on the road against the Buffalo Bills. The first-round rookie didn’t play in the first three games after the Steelers named Mitchell Trubisky the starting quarterback.

Dolphins Defense Worth Starting In Week 5

The Miami Dolphins defense is worth starting in fantasy football as they take on the New York Jets in Week 5. While the unit underwhelmed in Week 4 against the Bengals, they should bounce back coming off a long week. Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, the Jets are rolling out Zach Wilson, who was picked […]

Jason Sanders Lacks Fantasy Appeal In Week 5

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders falls outside of the top-12 range heading into his Week 5 clash against the New York Jets. Although this matchup is certainly favorable, the Miami offense could struggle without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) at quarterback. Additionally, if either Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) or Jaylen Waddle (groin) is inactive, the Dolphins' productivity would […]

Raheem Mostert A Solid Option In Deeper Leagues

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert is a fringe top-36 running back in fantasy football this week. With a favorable matchup against the New York Jets on tap, Mostert could be primed to have his biggest game yet with Miami. Not only did Mostert see a season-high 72 percent snap share last week, but he […]

Chase Edmonds Worth Benching In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Chase Edmonds should be benched in most fantasy leagues this week. Although the 26-year-old has three touchdowns this season, he has totaled a measly 85 rushing yards and 68 receiving yards. He continues to see his volume decline while Raheem Mostert earns a larger snap share. Edmonds could certainly salvage his […]

Mike Gesicki Not A Stable Option In Week 5

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki should be avoided in most fantasy leagues this week. The 27-year-old has amassed just eight catches for 71 yards and a touchdown, and he's at least third in the pecking order behind receivers Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) and Jaylen Waddle (groin). Additionally, Teddy Bridgewater is in line to start for […]
