Dolphins TE Darren Waller (hip) did not practice Wednesday.

03 September 2025

Waller came out of retirement to play for the Dolphins after they traded away Jonnu Smith early in the offseason. the age-32 tight end was initially placed on the PUP list to allow him to get back into football shape before practicing. Now it appears as though he is dealing with an actual injury, though head coach Mike McDaniel said earlier this week that Waller is on track to play in Week 1. Still, the lack of practice and Waller’s lack of live reps over the past year make him a clear stay-away for fantasy purposes. He will hang out at the bottom of the TE2 ranks until we see what his role looks like versus the Colts.
