The Miami Dolphins have activated quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) from injured reserve. Huntley made three starts for Miami earlier this season and, coincidentally, was placed on IR at the same time Tua Tagovailoa was activated following his concussion. Huntley and Skylar Thompson will both remain in depth roles as long as Tagovailoa is healthy.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) was placed on the Injured Reserve list on Friday. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) missing the last few games, Huntley has been under center. However, he didn't do much with his afforded opportunity, throwing for 377 yards, one touchdown, and one interception off 59.1% passing. Fortunately for the Dolphins, Tagovailoa will be back on the field for the Week 8 meeting with the Cardinals, which will hopefully provide a much-needed spark to a stagnant offense.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley (right shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Huntley left the Dolphins' Week 7 game against the Indianapolis Colts with the injury. Huntley has filled in for the injured Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) over the Dolphins' last three games. He has thrown for 377 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Dolphins offense has stalled without Tagovailoa. Wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (quad) have not provided any fantasy value. While it is unfortunate that Huntley is injured, it does appear that the Dolphins are on track to getting Tagovailoa back in the lineup in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. Fantasy managers should monitor the practice participation of both Huntley and Tagovailoa throughout the week.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. He exited in the second half and was initially listed as questionable to return before being downgraded to out. Miami continues to have quarterback issues with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on injured reserve, Skylar Thompson (ribs) inactive, and Huntley ruled out. At the time of his departure, Huntley had completed seven of 13 passes for 87 yards, one touchdown, and zero turnovers. He also had 20 rushing yards on five attempts. Tim Boyle has entered the game and will quarterback the Dolphins' offense for the remainder of Week 7.
Tyler Huntley Injures Shoulder, Questionable To Return Sunday
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) exited during the second half of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts and is officially questionable to return. Miami continues to have quarterback issues with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on injured reserve, Skylar Thompson (ribs) inactive, and now Huntley sidelined, too. At the time of his departure, Huntley had completed seven of 13 passes for 87 yards, one touchdown, and zero turnovers. He also had 20 rushing yards on five attempts. Tim Boyle has entered the game and will quarterback the Dolphins' offense until Huntley is able to return.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley will face off against the Indianapolis Colts in the team's Week 7 road contest. It'll be the third start for the 26-year-old, who was afforded a timely Week 6 bye. The Colts present as Huntley's best matchup thus far, allowing the fifth-most passing yards to opposing offenses (1,406) and the fourth-most net pass yards per play (6.9). They've also let up the most rushing yards in the NFL. Despite the sterling matchup, fantasy managers will want to avoid starting him outside of 2QB and superflex formats. The Utah product is RotoBaller's QB31 ahead of Sunday's outing.
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that he would "guess to forecast" that quarterback Tyler Huntley will remain the team's starting quarterback, regardless of Skylar Thompson's (ribs) status. The Dolphins are on bye in Week 6, but if Thompson is fully recovered from his rib injury coming out of the bye, it still sounds like Huntley will given a second straight start in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) won't be eligible to come off Injured Reserve until Week 8, but there's a good chance he won't be cleared by then. Huntley went 18-for-31 for 194 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in the Week 5 win over the division-rival New England Patriots. Miami's offense will be a shell of its former self until Tagovailoa can return. Huntley will remain a desperation QB2 play in superflex leagues.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley completed 18-of-31 passes for 194 yards and one interception in Sunday's 15-10 win over the New England Patriots. He also rushed three times for seven yards. The 26-year-old performed better in this one than during a tumultuous Week 4 outing, leading his team to their second victory on the season. A lot was working against Miami on Sunday, particularly on special teams, where a blocked punt and botched snap on a field goal highlighted the unit's miscues. Huntley also had a snap launched over his head in the second half on a play when the entire offense wasn't ready sans the center. Despite this, the former undrafted free agent did enough to get the win and even led his team on a touchdown drive -- just the second TD for Miami since losing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) in Week 2. It was an encouraging outing for the Dolphins' offense, especially their ground attack, which totaled 193 yards and punched in the lone score. New England's D posed as one of the better matchups the team has faced thus far, but at least the offense has something to build on heading into their Week 6 bye.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley will line up for his second start of the season this Sunday when the team hits the road to take on the New England Patriots. With quarterback Skylar Thompson (ribs) still tending to an injury that forced him from Miami's Week 3 matchup, the dual-threat 26-year-old will again be at the helm for the Dolphins. His last time out, the former Raven failed to throw a score -- or interception -- leading Miami to 12 total points against the Tennessee Titans. He did add 40 yards rushing on eight carries but was largely ineffective in his first action since Week 18 of last season. This week, Huntley and Miami will get an easier matchup against a Patriots squad that is vulnerable to the pass -- allowing the fourth-most net yards per pass attempt to opposing offenses. It's possible the fifth-year QB keeps himself in the fantasy conversation with his work on the ground. Still, he'll be hard to trust outside of superflex and 2QB formats, based on what we've seen thus far.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley will make another start in Week 5 against the division-rival New England Patriots on Sunday, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is on Injured Reserve, and the Dolphins went with the recently signed Huntley on Monday night against the Tennessee Titans with Skyler Thompson (ribs) banged up. The 26-year-old wasn't impressive at all in the Week 4 loss, going 14-for-22 for 96 yards, no touchdowns and no picks. Huntley did add eight carries for 40 yards and a touchdown. Apparently, Thompson is recovering slowly from his rib injury, which has opened the door for Huntley to make another start. This Sunday's matchup against the Pats defense won't necessarily be any easier for Huntley, and he'll remain a desperation QB2 play for fantasy managers in superflex leagues.
