Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Productive in Week 15 loss
Rotowire
Robinson had two tackles (one solo) including 1.5 sacks during Miami's 20-12 loss to the Texans in Week 15.
Robinson, across 14 appearances in his rookie campaign, now has racked up 21 tackles (twelve solo), including 5.0 sacks. He's also tallied three passes defensed. The rookie first-round pick will work to close out the year strong, with Sunday's game against the 49ers representing the first of three remaining regular-season contests.

Dolphins' Zach Sieler: Brings pressure in loss to Houston
Rotowire
Sieler made two tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Miami's 20-12 loss to the Texans in Week 15.
Sieler has now brought his sack total to 7.5 across 12 appearances this season, putting him within striking distance of the career-best 10.0 mark he notched in 2023. The veteran defensive end will have three more regular-season contests, beginning Sunday versus the 49ers, to boost his totals.

Dolphins' Anthony Walker: Tallies first sack of season
Rotowire
Walker racked up seven tackles (four solo) including 1.0 sacks during Miami's 20-12 loss to Houston in Week 15.
Walker played 98 percent of defensive snaps versus the Texans, continuing to handle the very-down role he inherited Week 9. Aside from Week 12, when he was forced off the field early with a hamstring injury, Walker has notched at least seven tackles in each of his opportunities as a starter this year. He figures to be heavily involved again on Sunday, versus a 49ers backfield led by Isaac Guerendo.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Makes eight stops against Houston
Rotowire
Brooks racked up eight tackles (six solo) and recovered one fumble during Miami's 20-12 loss to the Texans in Week 15.
Brooks missed just one snap on defense versus the Texans, continuing to handle an every-down role. The veteran linebacker's consistent ability to rack up stops makes him a high-floor fantasy asset in IDP formats, though with only 2.0 sacks across 14 appearances, Brooks admittedly doesn't boast an exceptionally high ceiling. He'll work to keep up his momentum versus San Francisco on Sunday.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Not set to return Week 15
Rotowire
Chubb (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's matchup versus Houston, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.
Chubb was deemed questionable to play on Miami's injury report Friday, but the veteran pass rusher has since been ruled out. Nonetheless, he appears to be making progress toward a return after having missed the entire season up to this point while recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL. Chubb remains on Miami's PUP list, and his next chance to be activated and suit up will come Week 16 against San Francisco.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Could return Week 15
Rotowire
Chubb (knee) is questionable to play Sunday against Houston.
Chubb hasn't yet suited up this season and remains on the Dolphins' reserve/PUP list. The veteran pass rusher was designated to return Dec. 2, but he didn't end up playing this past Sunday against the Jets. It appears Chubb is inching closer to a return, though, after logging a trio of limited practices this week, and he has a chance of taking the field for the first time on the campaign Sunday.

Dolphins' Anthony Walker: Absent from injury report Wednesday
Rotowire
Walker (hamstring) isn't listed on Miami's injury report Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Walker hurt his hamstring in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Jets, but he appears to be clear of the injury. That's good news for the Dolphins, as he ranks third on the team with 55 tackles on the campaign. Walker has recorded at least seven stops in four of his past five games.

Dolphins' Zach Sieler: Boosts sack totals vs. Jets
Rotowire
Sieler racked up four tackles (two solo) and 2.0 sacks during Sunday's 32-26 win over New York.
Sieler has now brought his sack total to 6.0 through 11 games this season, with four of those sacks having come in his last four appearances. It will bode well for the Dolphins' fringe chances of making a playoff push if Sieler can keep up his momentum down the stretch, especially during Sunday's must-win road matchup against Houston.

Dolphins' Jordan Poyer: Racks up seven stops vs. Jets
Rotowire
Poyer made seven tackles (four solo) during Miami's 32-26 win over New York in Week 15.
Poyer has now logged seven or more stops in all but one of his eight appearances since the Dolphins' bye in Week 6, and he's played 100 percent of defensive snaps in each of those contests. While he hasn't yet demonstrated significant fantasy upside this season, Poyer possesses a reliable floor for production heading into Sunday's road matchup against the Texans.

Dolphins' Kendall Fuller: Productive in win over Jets
Rotowire
Fuller racked up eight tackles (four solo) and one pass defensed during Sunday's 32-26 win over New York.
Fuller, in his return from a three-game absence due to a concussion suffered Week 10, played 98 percent of defensive snaps and put together his most productive game of the season in terms of tackling. The starting outside corner will work to impress again in Week 15, as the Dolphins travel to Houston for what essentially amounts to a must-win matchup on Sunday.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Another nine-tackle outing
Rotowire
Brooks tallied nine tackles (four solo), one sack and one pass defensed in Sunday's 32-26 win over the Jets.
Brooks has now posted exactly nine total tackles in three straight games, with double-digit stops in the two contests before that. The every-down linebacker has been a reliable bet for production in IDP formats all season. With 113 total tackles across 13 appearances, Brooks has now logged four straight seasons with triple-digit stops to begin his career. He'll work to keep up his momentum Sunday at Houston.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Won't play Sunday vs. Gang Green
Rotowire
Chubb (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Chubb was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Monday, and he was able to participate in practice all week in a limited capacity. He wasn't able to progress enough to play Sunday, and his next chance to make his 2024 regular-season debut will be Week 15 against Houston on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Dolphins' Kader Kohou: Questionable to play Sunday
Rotowire
Kohou (back) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Kohou has been limited in practice all week due to a back injury he suffered during Miami's Week 13 loss to Green Bay. If he's unable to play in Sunday's AFC East clash, Storm Duck would likely fill in at slot corner alongside outside corners Kendall Fuller and Jalen Ramsey.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Will play Sunday vs. Jets
Rotowire
Jones (back) was a full participant in Friday's practice and carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets.
Jones suffered a back injury during the Dolphins' Week 13 loss to the Packers. He opened the week with limited practices, but he finished with a full practice Friday and is good to go for Sunday's AFC East showdown. Jones has logged nine tackles (three solo) over the seven regular-season games since the Dolphins' Week 7 bye.
Fuller (concussion) was a full participant in Friday's practice and carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets.
Fuller is on track to return from a three-game absence due to a concussion he suffered in Week 10 against the Rams. Fuller should reclaim his starting spot at outside corner opposite Jalen Ramsey while Ethan Bonner and Storm Duck revert to rotational roles. Fuller has tallied 33 tackles (23 solo), five pass defenses and one fumble recovery over eight regular-season games.

Rotowire
Chubb (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Chubb is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 17 of the 2023 regular season. He was designated to return from the Dolphins' reserve/PUP list Wednesday, and he participated in practice all week in a limited capacity. If he's ruled out for Sunday's AFC East clash, then Chubb's next opportunity to play would be Week 15 against the Texans on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Dolphins' Kendall Fuller: Progressing through protocols
Rotowire
Fuller (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Fuller upgraded from a limited participant during Wednesday's practice to a full participant Thursday. However, he'll need to be cleared by an independent neurologist before exiting the league's five-step concussion protocols. Given his ability to practice in full Thursday, Fuller could be cleared to play in Sunday's AFC East showdown against the Jets.

Dolphins' Benito Jones: Working through back injury
Rotowire
Jones (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jones suffered a back injury during the Dolphins' 30-17 loss to the Packers this past Sunday. Jones will have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity this week, but if he's unable to play against the Jets on Sunday, Da'Shawn Hand and Neil Farrell would be in line for an uptick in defensive snaps.

Dolphins' Kader Kohou: Limited in practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Kohou (back) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Kohou suffered a back injury during the Dolphins' Week 13 loss to the Packers this past Thursday. He'll have two more opportunities this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's AFC East clash against the Jets. Storm Duck would be the top candidate to fill in at slot corner Sunday should Kohou be unable to play.
