Team news: Miami Dolphins | Page 15

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said QB Lamar Jackson (knee) is unlikely to play Sunday versus the Steelers: "I would say it's kind of week to week. ... It's probably less likely for this week, but it's not impossible. And then after that, it'll become more and more likely."

Related Players: Tyler Huntley

Though no one can match the athleticism that Lamar Jackson brings to the field, Tyler Huntley actually does a pretty good impression. After his 41-yard rushing performance after Jackson went down, Huntley now has 325 rushing yards in his last six games of consequential playing time. With a full week of practice, he could very seriously be in the mix as a fringe QB1.

Eagles have placed TE Dallas Goedert and DT Marlon Tuipulotu on Injured Reserved.

Related players: Tyree Jackson, Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra

It's a huge loss for the Eagles. Stoll and Calcaterra are next up on the depth chart, but the team also announced they've activated Jackson from the PUP list. We briefly talked about Jackson in our news section Tuesday. He's a former QB with a ton of athleticism, but not much experience. Jackson did flash in Week 18 of last season where he caught three balls for 22 yards and a TD before tearing his ACL. Some feel he could be the favorite to fill in for Goedert.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will miss extended time with a shoulder injury he suffered during Monday night's loss to the Washington Commanders, NFL Network Insiders Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday, per sources.

Garafolo and Pelissero added that Goedert's injury won't end his season. This is a potential huge loss for the Eagles who don't have a lot of depth behind Geodert. Jackson is a big, athletic prospect but is recently coming off the IR. In the short term, Stoll and Calcaterra could fill in.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh told reporters that WR Corey Davis (MCL) is out this week but will be back after the bye.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Denzel Mims, Braxton Berrios

Davis has spent most of his time lined up wide, which has cleared the way for former second-round pick Denzel Mims to see the field for the first time this season. It doesn't warrant fantasy consideration in redraft leagues, but maybe stash Mims in deep dynasty leagues if he's found his way into the free-agent pool. Garrett Wilson is the only player we want to start out of this group in Week 9 against a tough Buffalo matchup.

The Dolphins sent a 2023 fifth-round pick to San Francisco in exchange for running back Jeff Wilson, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported.

It's a smooth pickup for Miami, reuniting Wilson with Mike McDaniel, the Niners' offensive coordinator in 2021, the story said. Wilson will take the place of Chase Edmonds, who was sent to Denver as part of the Chubb deal. Wilson owns burst through the hole, generating 486 yards and two touchdowns in eight games with San Francisco this season, the story added. With Edmonds not really a factor in the Dolphins offense as of late, Wilson could certainly steal more snaps and touches from Mostert going forward.

According to Adam Schefter, Bradley Chubb and a 2025 fifth-round pick will be moved for a 2023 first-round, 2024 fourth-round selection and running back Chase Edmonds.

Edmonds joins a crowded backfield in Denver where there is already a lot of fantasy confusion. Edmonds could at least claim a pass catching role ahead of Boone, but it remains to be seen if he eats into the workload of Murray and Gordon.

Deebo Samuel (hamstring) is OUT for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Related Players: Brandon Aiyuk, Jeff Wilson

Deebo being out should open things up for Brandon Aiyuk to become more a focal point of the passing game. There's a chance this allows Jeff Wilson to relieve Christian McCaffrey more often, making the backup a desperation Flex option.

WR Elijah Moore returned to the Jets team facility on Monday, and coach Robert Saleh expects him to be active for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Moore was excused from the team last week following his trade request.

Related Players: Braxton Berrios, Jeff Smith

You can follow whichever narrative you'd like; either the team attempts to placate Moore by involving him more in the offense, or they could simply keep him on the bench and incorporate other receivers in their fledgling passing offense. However you see the situation playing out, he's best kept on fantasy benches in Week 8, at the least.

Great news from Pete Carroll, who tells us DK Metcalf will not need surgery. He has a patellar tendon issue.

Related Players: Tyler Lockett, Marquise Goodwin, D'Wayne Eskridge

There's still no timeline, though other reports say that Carroll is pessimistic about Metcalf returning to practice this week, so it may be a week-to-week issue. D'Wayne Eskridge saw an uptick in snaps after Metcalf's departure but didn't receive a target in Week 7.
