Jason Sanders - Perfect in Week 8 loss Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries during Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Sanders was perfect for Miami in Tua Tagovailoa's return to the starting lineup, which despite resulting in a disappointing loss, featured the Dolphins' best scoring day of the season. The reliable placekicker has had at least two field-goal tries in six of seven appearances this season, and he'll hope for consistent opportunities again on the road against Buffalo in Week 9.

Alec Ingold - Involved on offense in loss Ingold rushed once for three yards and secured all three of his targets for 19 yards during Sunday's Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Ingold is on pace to squeak out the most production season of his NFL career in terms of offensive stats, though his involvement remains marginal with De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert entrenched as the clear leaders out of Miami's backfield. Still, Ingold's versatility beyond contributing as a blocker makes him a key playmaker on offense for coach Mike McDaniel. The veteran fullback will look to keep up his momentum heading into a pivotal Week 9 divisional matchup at Buffalo.

Odell Beckham Jr. - Held without a catch again Beckham was not targeted during Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Beckham has now failed to log a single catch through three appearances in a Dolphins uniform, and in his first appearance with Tua Tagovailoa back under center the veteran wideout didn't even draw a target. Rookie sixth-round pick Malik Washington, who also wasn't targeted versus Arizona, played 16 offensive snaps while Beckham played just 11. A tough Week 9 matchup against the Bills won't do Beckham any favors as he looks to show some flashes of life on offense.

Jonnu Smith - Makes four grabs in Tua's return Smith secured four of six targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Smith has drawn seven, eight, and six targets in his last three appearances, so despite a low yardage total in the Week 8 loss, his involvement on offense remains encouraging. With Tua Tagovailoa back under center, Miami's offense will look to continue getting back on track with a key Week 9 divisional matchup against the Bills on deck Week 9.

Jaylen Wright - Only two carries in Week 8 loss Wright rushed twice for 18 yards during Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Wright continues to look explosive in limited opportunities, but it's De'Von Achane (10 carries) and Raheem Mostert (nine carries) who are entrenched as the leaders of Miami's backfield. Without one of Achane or Mostert missing time, or the Dolphins seeing a positive game script the likes of which has evaded the team this season, Wright will remain in a depth role. He'll look to continue showing flashes on the road at Buffalo in Week 9.

Dolphins' offense looks like itself again with Tua Tagovailoa back
With a healthy Tua Tagovailoa leading the way, the Miami Dolphins had the NFL’s top offense last seasonOCTOBER 27 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jaylen Waddle - Stays quiet in Tua's return Waddle caught four of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Waddle's fantasy managers had high hopes for a bounce back in Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) return, but Waddle put forth yet another subpar outing as the Dolphins fell to 2-5. After posting 109 receiving yards in Week 1 against the Jaguars, Waddle hasn't exceeded 46 yards in any subsequent game. He'll try to snap that unsavory streak in a Week 9 road game against the Bills.

Raheem Mostert - Scores twice in Week 8 loss Mostert rushed nine times for 19 yards and two touchdowns while catching one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Mostert helped the Dolphins welcome back starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) by capping Miami's opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run. The veteran running back added a six-yard rushing score in the fourth quarter, but he was otherwise outperformed on the ground by De'Von Achane, who had 10 carries for 97 rushing yards and a receiving touchdown. Achane is usually the favorite to lead Miami's backfield in touches and yards, but Mostert's success by the goal line is nothing new, as Mostert produced a league-best 18 rushing touchdowns in 2023. Both Dolphins running backs will be in fantasy starter consideration in Week 9 against a Bills defense that has been better against the pass than the run.

De'Von Achane - Shines in QB's return Achane rushed 10 times for 97 yards while catching six of eight targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Achane got 47 of his 147 scrimmage yards on an explosive third-quarter run, and he fittingly capped that drive with a 12-yard touchdown catch. He finished with 16 touches while Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright combined for 12, but Mostert's nine carries included a pair of short touchdown runs. Achane and Mostert coexisted effectively in Achane's 2023 rookie season, and the return of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) under center raises the ceiling for Miami's entire offense heading into a Week 9 trip to Buffalo.

Tyreek Hill - Six catches in Tua's return Hill (foot) caught six of nine targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Hill's 69 first-half receiving yards matched his highest full-game total during the four games Tua Tagovailoa missed due to a concussion. After starting hot with Tagovailoa back in tow, Hill added only three yards in the second half, likely due in part to the effects of a foot injury that had the speedster listed as questionable heading into Sunday's loss. Hill led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards last season, but Tua's return seems unlikely to precipitate that level of production from Hill in 2024. Miami's passing game will look to pick things up in Week 9 against the Bills, who held Hill to 24 receiving yards in Week 2.

Tua Tagovailoa - Throws for 234 in return Tagovailoa (concussion) completed 28 of 38 passes for 234 yards and one touchdown while rushing three times for 13 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals. He fumbled three t...
Impact Tagovailoa showed no signs of early rust in his first action since Week 2, as he completed 11 of his first 12 passes to help the Dolphins take a 10-0 lead. He cooled off for the rest of the first half before throwing a 12-yard touchdown pass to De'Von Achane in the third quarter, but Tagovailoa fumbled a snap out of the back of the end zone for a safety on the next possession to ignite an 18-7 Cardinals run to close out the game. Most importantly, Tagovailoa made it through unscathed after having been on IR since Week 2 against the Bills due to his latest concussion. Up next for Tagovailoa and the Dolphins is a Week 9 rematch in Buffalo.

Impact Holland suffered a knee injury during the first half of Sunday's game, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of the contest. Jordan Poyer and Marcus Maye will be the first-team safeties for the second half of Sunday's of the game.

Impact Holland was questionable heading into the game with a hand injury, but he has now picked up a knee injury as well. If the 24-year-old ends up being unable to return to Sunday's matchup, Elijah Campbell will fill in for him at safety.
