Xavien Howard Fantasy

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) and linebacker Bradley Chubb (ankle, hand) are inactive for Week 17 against the New England Patriots. This is a major loss for Miami, which is already shorthanded on offense after losing Tua Tagoaviloa to a concussion. Outside of Rhamondre Stevenson, no Patriots player has immense fantasy value. However, the loss of Howard and Chubb could bode well for players like Jakobi Meyers, Hunter Henry, and Mac Jones on Sunday.

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (groin) is active for Week 8 against the Detroit Lions. He had been listed as questionable after closing out the week with limited participation in practice. The 29-year-old has registered 20 tackles through six games and figures to be the centerpiece of Miami's secondary once again Sunday.

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (groin) is day-to-day with a groin injury that he suffered in last week's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. "He will do everything in his power to play against the Jets," head coach Mike McDaniel said on Wednesday. Meanwhile, cornerback Byron Jones (ankle) isn't ready to begin the 21-day process of returning from the Physically Unable to Perform list. If Howard doesn't make anymore progress this week and can't play on Sunday, the Dolphins secondary will be short-handed for a matchup against the New York Jets.
