Injured Jaylen Waddle Returns Versus BillsMiami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) returned to Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. He exited during the first quarter and was initially listed as questionable to return. Now, the second-year wideout has checked back into the contest and will look to bounce back from a frustrating start in which he was unable to haul in either of his two targets.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) is questionable to return against the Buffalo Bills. Waddle exited during the first quarter of Sunday's Wild Card game after failing to catch a pass on the right sideline. Prior to departing, the second-year wideout had zero receptions on two targets. Trent Sherfield should step into the No. 2 receiver role (alongside Tyreek Hill) until Waddle can return.

Injured Terron Armstead Active For DolphinsMiami Dolphins offensive tackle Terron Armstead (hip, knee, pectoral, toe) is officially active for the wild-card game against the division-rival Buffalo Bills on Sunday after coming into the game with a questionable tag. The 31-year-old only put in one limited practice on Friday, but he'll be on the field for the third meeting against Buffalo this year. Armstead didn't play in the Week 18 regular season finale and was uncertain if he'd be able to play in the postseason, but his return will be huge for Miami's offensive line against a tough Bills pass rush. Armstead is expected to return to left tackle to help protect rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson's blind side. The Dolphins will be missing offensive linemen Brandon Shell (knee), Kendall Lamm (ankle) and Liam Eichenberg (hand).

Injured Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Be The Starter In 2023Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to be the team's starting quarterback next season, according to league sources. And if the Dolphins pull off a huge upset and beat the division-rival Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round on Sunday, there's a chance that Tagovailoa could be cleared from the concussion protocol to play in the Divisional Round. But regardless of what happens against the Bills, the Dolphins have been pleased with Tagovailoa's development under first-year head coach Mike McDaniel, according to sources. Medical professionals are also confident that he should be able to resume his NFL career next year after he suffered two concussions. The 24-year-old has been in the concussion protocol since the day after Christmas, but his long-term prognosis looks promising.

Injured Teddy Bridgewater Active, Will Serve As BackupMiami Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (finger, knee) is active for the wild-card game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but he will serve in a backup role to rookie Skylar Thompson with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) ruled out. Bridgewater was limited in practice this week after dislocating the pinkie finger on his throwing hand in Week 17. He hasn't played since, although he'll be available in case of emergency on wild-card weekend in a very tough matchup against the Bills defense on the road in a hostile environment. Thompson will likely have a rough go of it in just his third career start, so we would recommend that fantasy managers stay away from him. Wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle will see their targets, but they have a considerably lower ceiling and floor.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (finger, knee) was limited in practice all week and is officially questionable to suit up in Sunday's wild-card game against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins have already announced that seventh-round rookie Skylar Thompson will make the start this weekend, so if Bridgewater is active, he'll be the backup. The 30-year-old fractured the pinkie finger on his throwing hand in Week 17 and served as Thompson's backup in the Week 18 regular season finale. Starter Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) hasn't played since Christmas Day after suffering his second concussion of the year. Fantasy managers should stay far away from Thompson in playoff leagues.

Injured Jaylen Waddle, Jeff Wilson Jr. Good To GoMiami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) and running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (illness) both returned to full practices on Friday and have been removed from the injury report for wild-card weekend. They will both play on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Miami is probably going to be forced to rely on the arm of rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson often this weekend, but even then, fantasy managers should find it difficult to trust both Waddle and Tyreek Hill against a strong defense. Even with Raheem Mostert (thumb) being ruled out, Wilson will also be a hard-to-trust DFS RB with Thompson leading Miami's offense on the road in a hostile environment. Salvon Ahmed should back up Wilson in the backfield.

Injured Raheem Mostert Won't Face BillsMiami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (thumb) will not play in the Wild Card game against the Buffalo Bills. Mostert suffered a broken thumb in the playoff-clinching win over the Jets, so it remains to be seen whether he could return next week should the Dolphins survive and advance. With Mostert out of the picture, Jeff Wilson Jr. should see a healthy workload. That said, Buffalo should score with ease and force rookie Skylar Thompson into obvious passing situations. It's tough to project Wilson to have much volume or touchdown upside, so he's generally a weak DFS play in this game.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that as of Friday, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has not advanced to the on-field football activity portion of the league's concussion protocols. He was already ruled out for this weekend's game against the Buffalo Bills. Meanwhile, the Dolphins are optimistic that Teddy Bridgewater (pinkie) will be active as rookie Skylar Thompson's backup this Sunday. Tagovailoa is dealing with his second concussion of the season, and his slow progress is concerning. Even if the Dolphins pulled off a monumental upset and beat the Bills on wild-card weekend, it's probably a long shot that Tagovailoa would be able to play next weekend.

Skylar Thompson To Start Against BillsMiami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson will officially get the start in the wild-card contest on Sunday against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. It's not exactly in idea scenario for a rookie to make his third career start on the road in a hostile environment in the postseason. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is out and Teddy Bridgewater is dealing with a dislocated pinkie on his throwing hand and a knee injury. Fantasy managers might want to just avoid the Dolphins entire offense this weekend in fantasy leagues, even receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. In seven games (two starts) this year, Thompson has gone 60-for-105 for 534 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.
