Tanner Conner: Back with Miami on practice squad
The Dolphins signed Conner to the practice squad Saturday.
Conner was waived by the Dolphins on Thursday, but he has opted to stay in Miami as a member of the team's practice squad. He logged nine catches (on 15 targets) for 91 yards through the Dolphins' first nine games of the regular season, and he would be be a candidate for elevation to the active roster should Miami require additional depth at tight end.

Tanner Conner: Could be brought back by Miami
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that the team is interested in bringing back Conner, whom Miami waived Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
If brought back, Conner would presumably sign with Miami's practice squad. Conner had been helping to fill the void while Darren Waller (pectoral) is on injured reserve. Julian Hill (ankle) and Greg Dulcich make up Miami's current tight end depth.

Tanner Conner: Let go by Miami
The Dolphins waived Conner on Thursday.
Conner being cut is a clear sign that Miami expects Julian Hill (ankle) to be ready for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bills. It could also be extrapolated that the team is encouraged by the pass-catching chops Greg Dulcich displayed during Week 9's loss to the Ravens, when he secured all five targets for 49 yards, or that the recovery of Darren Waller (pectoral) is proceeding on track. Across nine regular-season appearances with Miami, Conner mostly contributed as a blocker while hauling in nine of 15 targets for 91 yards.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Held without catch
Conner failed to secure his only target during Miami's 28-6 loss to the Ravens on Thursday.
The Dolphins allotted low utilization to the tight end position Week 9, with both Darren Waller (pectoral, IR) and Julian Hill (ankle) sidelined. Conner saw the highest workload (45 percent of offensive snaps) of any of Miami's tight ends, though it was recent practice-squad signee Greg Dulcich (36 percent of snaps) who led the group in the receiving game, securing all five of his targets for 49 yards. With Dulcich's emergence, Conner will safely remain off the fantasy radar versus Buffalo in Week 10 even if Hill is still sidelined.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Targeted twice in Week 8 win
Conner secured both of his targets for six yards during Miami's 34-10 win over the Falcons.
Conner didn't see much of an uptick in receiving opportunities despite Darren Waller (pectoral, IR) and Julian Hill (ankle) both sitting out versus Atlanta, and Tyreek Hill (knee - ACL) out for the year. While that was a disappointing result with Tua Tagovailoa throwing for a season-high four touchdowns, Miami was able to lean heavily on the run after getting out to a convincing early lead. Conner could draw more targets on Thursday night versus Baltimore in Week 9, but as he's yet to either score or tally 30 receiving yards in a single game this season, he remains off the fantasy radar in the majority of formats.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Expanded opportunities on tap
Conner is slated to see expanded routes and targets beginning with Sunday's road matchup against the Falcons due to the Dolphins placing Darren Waller (pectoral) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Conner and Julian Hill figure to operate as Miami's top two tight ends for at least the next four games as Waller progresses in his recovery, while recent practice-squad signee Greg Dulcich contributes in a depth role. Though neither Conner nor Hill was fantasy relevant during the first three games of the regular season, before Waller made his debut, the Dolphins are now also without wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee - ACL) for the rest of the year. In deeper fantasy leagues, and especially those that require multiple starting tight ends, Conner and Hill are now worth a flier as waiver pickups in case one emerges as the clear beneficiary of the ample targets now left up for grabs behind top wideout Jaylen Waddle.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Makes most of only catch
Conner secured one of three targets for 28 yards during Miami's ' 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Conner and Julian Hill (one catch for one yard on two targets) both saw increased usage due to Darren Waller (pectoral) being forced off the field early versus Cleveland. With Tyreek Hill (IR, knee) already done for the year, both Conner and Hill will attain limited fantasy value in deeper leagues that require multiple starting tight ends if Waller remains sidelined for Miami's road matchup at Atlanta in Week 8.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Not targeted in win over Jets
Conner was not targeted during Monday's 27-21 win over the Jets.
Conner's already marginal involvement in the passing game took a backseat with the debut of veteran tight end Darren Waller. Though Waller was limited to 28 percent of offensive snaps Week 4, he was heavily utilized in those opportunities and only projects to expand his reps as the season progresses. Conner played just nine offensive snaps versus New York and he figures to face similar utilization going forward, beginning Sunday on the road against Carolina in Week 5.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Makes one grab in Week 3 loss
Conner secured one of two targets for 13 yards during Thursday's 31-21 loss to the Bills.
Conner continues to handle an increased workload at tight end alongside Julian Hill with Darren Waller (hip) having been sidelined the first three games of the regular season. That hasn't translated into notable fantasy value for either Conner or Hill, however. Conner has just three grabs for 33 yards on six targets across his three appearances this year, and he'll remain off the fantasy radar Week 4 against the Jets even if Waller is again inactive.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: No targets to TE position
Conner was not targeted during Miami's 33-27 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Conner and Julian Hill were both held without a target Week 2, even with Darren Waller (hip) inactive a second straight game. While Waller appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Bills, Conner and Hill remain off the fantasy radar outside of formats that require multiple starting tight ends. Even then, Hill has handled marginally more offensive snaps through two weeks and likely offers more upside in the red zone than Conner.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Larger role likely with Waller out
Conner is in line for an increased role Sunday against the Patriots, as Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel noted Friday that Darren Waller (hip) will be out, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Conner saw a near-even snap share with Julian Hill (59 percent to Hill's 57 percent) in Waller's absence against the Colts in Week 1, and while Conner got all four of the official targets among Miami's tight ends, Hill did catch a two-point conversion. With Waller missing a second consecutive game to begin the season, Conner is poised to remain a secondary target for Tua Tagovailoa behind wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (shoulder), as well as running back De'Von Achane.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Past knee injury
Conner (knee) was spotted participating in Wednesday's practice, Alan Poupart of Sports Illustrated reports.
Conner missed the final eight games of the Dolphins' 2024 season due to a knee injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The Idaho State product has appeared in 24 regular-season games since entering the league in 2022, playing primarily on special teams (293 snaps). He's expected to compete for a similar role in Miami throughout the summer.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Limited to eight games in 2024
Conner (knee), who ended the 2024 campaign on IR, secured three of four targets for 16 yards across eight regular-season appearances with the Dolphins.
Conner landed on IR due to an undisclosed left knee injury in mid-November. The 26-year-old tight end remains under contract with Miami for the 2025 campaign, so it will be notable to monitor whether he's healthy enough to participate at the start of offseason activities.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Moves to IR
Conner (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Conner suffered the injury during Monday's win over the Rams and will now be forced to miss at least the next four games. The Idaho State product had appeared in eight games this season but was mostly used on special teams.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Questionable to return Monday
Conner (knee) is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Rams.
The tight end, who has played mostly on special teams this season, did not record a stat before exiting. Conner has three catches for 16 yards and no touchdowns in 2024.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Healthy scratch for Week 8
Conner (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Conner has played in each of the first six games of the regular season, accumulating three catches (on four targets) for 16 yards over that span. However, he will observe Sunday's game on the sidelines as the Dolphins go with Jonnu Smith, Julian Hill and Durham Smythe as the three active tight ends.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Inks reserve/future deal with Miami
The Dolphins signed Conner to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Conner got into three contests during the regular season, tallying 20 offensive snaps and 35 snaps on special teams without notching any stats. The Idaho State product was more active in his rookie 2022 campaign, participating in 13 games, though the vast majority of his work came as a special-teamer. The reserve/future deal he signed Monday will allow Conner a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp this summer.

Tanner Conner: Reverts to practice squad
Conner reverted to Miami's practice squad Monday.
Tanner was elevated for the third time this season and played on both offense and special teams but didn't record any stats during Miami's win over the Commanders on Sunday. The Dolphins will need to sign the 25-year-old to the active roster in order for him to play again, as he's now been elevated the maximum amount of times.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Bumps back up to active roster
Miami elevated Conner from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against Washington.
Conner will be promoted to the Dolphins' gameday roster for the third time this season, as he suited up for back-to-back games against Carolina and Philadelphia back in October. The 25-year-old ultimately did not record an offensive statistic while primarily playing on special teams across these two contests. If he's ruled active pregame, Conner should serve a similar role behind fellow tight ends Durham Smythe, Julian Hill and Tyler Kroft in Week 13.
