The Browns are releasing QB Tyler Huntley and signing RB D'Onta Foreman, source confirms.

Related Players: Jerome Ford, Pierre Strong, Nick Chubb

Well that didn't take long. For being cut so recently, he still has some fantasy value early in the season. Regardless, Ford should be the player we want, with a non-zero chance of being the No. 1 option for a vast majority of the season.

Among the notable claims:

#Bengals claimed DE KJ Henry
#Packers claimed K Brayden Narveson
#Dolphins claimed WR Grant DuBose
#Saints claimed KR/RB Kene Nwangwu

With Kendre Miller being entirely unable to stay on the field, Nwangwu could carve out a legitimate early-down role, even if he isn't usable in fantasy. Just one more knock against Miller at this point.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is apparently dealing with a minor thumb injury that will keep him out of most, if not all, of Wednesday’s joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Hill has been spotted wearing a brace on his injured hand, but head coach Mike McDaniel said he is not concerned about his availability for Week 1. Keep drafting him as a top-end fantasy asset.

The Dolphins have another injury concern, this time with one of their star players.

According to multiple reporters on the scene, receiver Tyreek Hill was on the field for Tuesday’s practice but did not catch passes while wearing a brace on his right hand.

Head coach Mike McDaniel is not slated to speak with the media again until Wednesday — which is when he will presumably be asked about Hill’s injury, the story said. Hopefully it's just a precautionary move on the part of Hill and the Dolphins, but we may not know more until Wednesday.

The 65-yard touchdown pass that Dontayvion Wicks caught in stride on the third play of Saturday's preseason opener at the Cleveland Browns was reminiscent of the 17 deep balls that Jordan Love connected on last year.

Only two quarterbacks hit on more throws of 25 or more air yards last season: New Orleans' Derek Carr and Miami's Tua Tagovailoa with 19.

As perfect as that throw looked against the Browns on Saturday as it floated 27.7 yards in the air, according to NFL Next Gen Stats tracking, it's easy to forget that even with 17 deep-throw connections last season, Love's completion rate on those passes was no better than 15th among all quarterbacks.

Working to improve Love's 34.7% success rate on throws of 25-plus air-yards has been a focus in training camp, the story said. So even though it was a preseason game, it was Love's first deep attempt in live action - and it was a success. The story added last year Love struggled to hit his speed receivers on deep throws, many of which were under thrown. Love's fantasy value seems to be on the rise and he's surrounded by a ton of talent on the offensive side of the ball. Success on deep throws will only help continue his climb. Love is currently ranked 10th on our QB list.

The 'Fins and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa agreed to a four-year, $212.4 million contract extension with $167.1 million guaranteed,.

Tua should be considered a fringe QB1 until Tyreek Hill hits an age cliff, which doesn't seem to be anytime soon. This locks the QB with Mike McDaniel, making him valuable in Dynasty as well.

Miami Dolphins and WR Jaylen Waddle reached agreement today on a three-year, $84.75 million contract extension that includes $76 million guaranteed, per sources. The deal makes Waddle one of the league’s top five highest-paid receivers.

Waddle is now tied to Miami through the 2028 season, which locks him in with Mike McDaniel for years to come. Waddle recorded his third-straight 1,000-yard season last year, and is primed to do it again as a fantasy WR2.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is in the building for the start of Dolphins OTAs. The QB is slated to become the next quarterback to receive a big payday, but the sides are in negotiations. Tagovailoa said he was planning on attending the workouts.

Tua should be good to go for 2024, with one of the best receiving duos in the league. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle remain respective WR1 and WR2s in fantasy.

The Dolphins have agreed to terms with WR Odell Beckham, Jr.

It's a 1-year, $3M deal with incentives that can push it up to $8.25M

Beckham should work as a rotational third wide receiver behind Hill and Waddle and figures to have some high-output weeks from time to time. He figures to be a headache in typical redraft leagues but will be an interesting addition in best ball leagues.

The Dolphins and RB Raheem Mostert agreed to terms on a new, 2-year deal worth $9.075M max, source said. One of the most productive in the NFL gets rewarded at age 31.

Looks like Miami will run it back with their ultra efficient two-headed monster from 2023. Mostert makes a very good selection when fantasy teams miss out on Achane.
