Jason Sanders, Jason Sanders Won't Come Off Injured Reserve This Week

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders (hip) will not have his 21-day practice window opened this week, according to the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson. Sanders suffered a hip injury during the preseason and has been on Injured Reserve all year. With only three regular-season games left after this week, there's a good chance we won't see the 30-year-old placekicker at all this year. In his absence, Riley Patterson has filled in nicely for Miami, making 23 of his 25 field-goal attempts (92 percent) and 28 of his 29 extra-point opportunities. Patterson has been solid, but he's only made one field goal beyond 50 yards on just two attempts. He has been under the radar in fantasy football and is currently the No. 10 kicker in terms of overall fantasy points. Patterson will be on the streaming radar in deeper fantasy leagues for Miami's Week 15 matchup versus the Steelers on Monday night.

De'Von Achane, De'Von Achane to Start the Week as Limited

According to head coach Mike McDaniel, Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (ribs) will kick off this week as a limited practice participant as they gear up for a Monday night matchup with the hosting Pittsburgh Steelers. McDaniel also notes that the 24-year-old will wear a red non-contact jersey at least for Thursday's session. Achane exited Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets in the second quarter with a rib injury, although he apparently could have reentered the contest if necessary. Fortunately, it appears he's avoided a significant issue, but Miami will be cautious with him as they prep for Monday Night Football. As it stands, it doesn't seem that Achane will be in danger of missing Week 15, though fantasy managers should closely monitor his status throughout the week.

Jaylen Wright, Jaylen Wright to See More Opportunities Moving Forward?

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright recorded his first career 100-yard game in the Week 14 win over the New York Jets, handling 24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown. Wright dominated the touches in Miami's backfield after De'Von Achane (ribs) left in the second quarter due to a rib injury. Entering Week 14, the 22-year-old running back had only played 37 snaps with 18 carries in five games this season, but he leapfrogged rookie Ollie Gordon II against the Jets. With Achane going out, the second-year back played 37 snaps and set a career high with 24 carries. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Achane could have returned to the game, but he also said Monday that Achane may require additional rest. With Achane's status for Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers in question, Wright could be in line for another workhorse-type role. He'd profile as a plug-and-play RB2 in Week 15 if Achane is ruled out.

Malik Washington, Malik Washington Worth Rostering in Deeper PPR Leagues?

Across 13 games this season, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has recorded 40 receptions for 274 yards and two touchdowns on 56 targets. The 24-year-old has also earned some work as a rusher, logging 78 rushing yards on 13 carries. Washington has served as Miami's primary WR2 alongside Jaylen Waddle since star wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) went down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. Since that point, Washington has seen at least five targets in six out of nine games. However, he's struggled to be highly productive with his opportunities and has recorded more than 36 receiving yards in just two contests this season. Washington's lack of efficiency limits his upside. Still, Miami has continued to feed him touches, which could make Washington worth rostering in deep PPR fantasy heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Tua Tagovailoa, Tua Tagovailoa Unlikely to Heat up in Week 15

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has given some underwhelming performances over the last few weeks. In fact, Tagovailoa has thrown for fewer than 200 passing yards in four straight games. The 27-year-old hasn't posted a multi-score game since Week 10 versus the Buffalo Bills, either. Tagovailoa does have a plus matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15, though. The Steelers' defense has given up nearly 250 passing yards per game this season. However, it's worth noting that Tagovailoa has notoriously struggled in cold weather. He hasn't thrown for over 200 yards in a road game since Week 8 in Atlanta, which was indoors. The sixth-year quarterback could be worth a look in two-quarterback leagues, but his ceiling for fantasy purposes remains low.
