Hill is positioned for an expanded workload beginning Sunday on the road against Atlanta with the Dolphins having placed Darren Waller (pectoral) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Hill and Tanner Conner will split tight end reps with Greg Dulcich, who was signed from the practice squad Wednesday, for at least the next four games while Waller works his way back to health. During the first three games of the regular season, Hill and Conner operated without Waller, with neither player managing much receiving production, but the Dolphins are now also without Tyreek Hill (knee - ACL), freeing up a significant amount of targets behind top wideout Jaylen Waddle. As a result, Hill, Conner and Dulcich now all possess limited fantasy appeal in deeper fantasy formats, especially those requiring multiple starting tight ends.

The Dolphins signed Myarick to their practice squad Wednesday.

The 30-year-old from Temple was let go by the Dolphins in late August after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster, but he's since been brought back to the practice squad. Myarick's last in-game action came with the Giants in 2022, when he caught seven of eight targets for 65 yards and a touchdown over 16 regular-season contests. His signing adds depth to Miami's tight-end corps, with Darren Waller (pectoral) being placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Kincaid (oblique) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Kincaid was inactive for the Bills' Week 6 loss to the Falcons after logging three straight limited practice listings. On the heels of the team's bye, the tight end will remain limited Wednesday as his team prepares for Sunday's game against the Panthers. In his absence versus Atlanta, fellow TE Dawson Knox caught one of his two targets for 19 yards, while Jackson Hawes wasn't targeted.

The Dolphins signed Dulcich to the 53-man roster from the practice squad Wednesday.

Dulcich has spent the entire regular season so far on Miami's practice squad, and he now joins Julian Hill and Tanner Conner on the active roster following the placement of Darren Waller (pectoral) on IR, where he will remain for at least four games. With the Dolphins' passing game already having lost Tyreek Hill (knee - ACL) for the season, all of Dulcich, Hill and Conner will be candidates to draw targets, especially in the short areas of the field, beginning Sunday on the road against Atlanta.

The Dolphins placed Waller (pectoral) on IR on Wednesday.

With Waller slated to miss at least four games due to the strained pectoral he sustained during Week 7 action, Julian Hill, Tanner Conner and Greg Dulcich are slated to handle Miami's TE duties in the meantime. The soonest Waller can return from IR is Nov. 30, following the Dolphins' Week 12 bye.

Njoku (knee) is in line to return to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Njoku seems to have a fair chance at returning to action Sunday on the road against New England, after coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that he remains "day-to-day." The veteran tight end is recovering from a knee injury sustained Week 6, and he didn't practice at all prior to being ruled out for Week 7. As such, he might need to resume practicing in full before being cleared to return to the lineup.

Dissly failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts.

Dissly was unable to make an impact in Sunday's high-scoring affair against the Colts, as the veteran tight end played just three of the Chargers' 76 offensive snaps. The 29-year-old has taken a clear backseat to fellow tight end Oronde Gadsden, who finished the game with seven catches for a team-leading 164 yards and a touchdown. Dissly should be ignored for fantasy purposes based on his limited usage in the Chargers' passing attack. Next up for Los Angeles is a Week 8 matchup against the Vikings.

San Francisco released Swinson from its practice squad Tuesday.

The 49ers added Swinson to their practice squad when regular starting tight end George Kittle went to their injured reserve list after Week 1, and now that Kittle is back in the fold, Swinson is going back to free agency. He'll have to look for his next opportunity with a new team.

Wright caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Monday night's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

Wright was able to match his season high in receptions, finishing tied for second on the team with Jahmyr Gibbs, Kalif Raymond, and fellow tight end Sam LaPorta. Wright has now reeled in eight of nine targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns over seven games this season while operating as the clear No. 2 behind LaPorta at tight end in Detroit's offense.

Saubert wasn't targeted in Monday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

Saubert has been targeted just once through seven games this season. He has consistently played at least 25 percent of the offensive snaps in each game, so he's still a reliable run blocker.
