The Miami Dolphins host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, kicking off their Week 13 matchup at 1 p.m. Eastern. As both teams conduct their final preparations for the game, they have released their respective inactive players lists, dropping from the 53-man active roster used during the season to the 48-man limit enforced by the league during games.
The Saints had ruled out running back Alvin Kamara on Friday’s injury report with issues to his knee and ankle; he now headlines the inactive players list. Also inactive are defensive back Ugo Amadi, cornerback Rejzohn Wright, tackle Barry Wesley, tight end...

Week 13 does not have any NFL teams on a bye, which would normally mean the Sunday schedule features a full slate of games – but since this is Thanksgiving week, there have already been four games played. Add in the Monday Night Football game tomorrow, and that leaves just 11 games spread over the day.
The early afternoon slot, with seven games on the schedule, is headlined by the Houston Texans at the Indianapolis Colts, while the afternoon games feature a marquee matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Sunday night game has the Denver Broncos...

The Miami Dolphins come off their bye week to host the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. The Dolphins are just 4-7 on the season, but two of those wins came in their last two games, keeping their minuscule playoff hopes alive. A third-straight victory could continue to improve those hopes.
The Saints enter the weekend 2-9, struggling their way toward the end of the year. They are currently in position to have the third-overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and may just be trying to get through the rest of the season, figure out what they have in...

The Miami Dolphins are starting to get healthy, both with the players on the active roster and some players coming back from injured reserve. On Saturday, news broke that the team was adding tight end Darren Waller to the active roster from injured reserve, bringing him back from a pectoral injury that cost him four games. Later on Saturday, the team made that move official, but was not the only move the team made.
Miami is bringing back offensive tackle Austin Jackson, who was injured in Week 1 and has been sidelined ever since due to a toe injury. Jackson...

Last week was the Miami Dolphins’ one off weekend during the NFL’s 18 week regular season schedule. The team headed into their bye week with two straight wins and looking more like a competitive NFL franchise than they have at any point in the year. Sitting at just 4-7, Miami has had a rough season, but somehow could still make a late-season surge toward the playoffs.
It has been a strange year, with multiple losses that should have been wins, self-inflicted penalties and turnovers, an in-season general manager change, a trade of a major defensive starter, banners flying over the...

The Miami Dolphins are expected to make a roster move on Saturday, bringing back a key member of their offense after a stint on injured reserve. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Miami will activate tight end Darren Waller from injured reserve, making him eligible for the team’s Week 13 game against the New Orleans Saints. Waller missed the last four games with a pectoral injury.
The Dolphins designated Waller for return from IR on Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window. He did not, however, need those 21 days as he will now be brought back to the active roster...

The Miami Dolphins will play football for the first time in two weeks as the team has come off their bye and hopefully carriers the momentum they had going into their break. The New Orleans Saints will be paying Miami a visit and while they haven’t been lighting up the scoreboards, the Saints shouldn’t be underestimated. The Dolphins have found a new identity with their offense as they are running the ball more and are pretty efficient with it. If you can run the ball well, you can beat any team in the league on any given Sunday.

The 2025 NFL season is heading into the final stretch, which means the same holds true for fantasy football.
If you’re like me, you’re in a ton of leagues, and many of those involve you jockeying for a better pick in next year’s draft. In other leagues, I started off red hot but faltered over the last few weeks, and I need to hold firm if I want to make the postseason.
