Teddy Bridgewater Fantasy

Miami 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.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (finger, knee) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. The Dolphins fully expect Waddle to be active on Sunday in the wild-card game against the Buffalo Bills. However, with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) already ruled out and Bridgewater questionable to play with a dislocated pinkie finger and knee injury, Waddle and All-Pro wideout Tyreek Hill will have much lower ceilings against a strong defense. The Dolphins said earlier this week that they were preparing to start rookie Skylar Thompson on Sunday. Thompson would be making just his third career start, so Miami's offense could struggle mightily to move the football this weekend.
