Dolphins' Tyler Huntley: Could start, with Tua doubtful

Huntley is expected to start Sunday's game against the Browns after the Dolphins downgraded Tua Tagovailoa (hip) from questionable to doubtful, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.

Unless Tagovailoa shows dramatic improvement leading up to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, he looks as though he'll be sidelined for the first time since Week 7. In such a scenario, Huntley would be in line for his fourth start of the season, with Skylar Thompson serving as his backup. While Huntley thus represents a possible lineup option for fantasy managers who are still playing in Week 17, his presence under center would amount to a downgrade to all of Miami's pass catchers. In his previous three starts, Huntley accounted for 67 rushing yards and a score on the ground but struggled as a passer, throwing one touchdown against one interception while completing 59.1 percent of his throws for 5.7 yards per attempt.
