Miami Dolphins WR Brian Hartline (back) was back at practice on Friday. Hartline missed the last two days with an undisclosed back injury, but the midweek upgrade is an encouraging sign. He's not expected to miss Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.
Brian Hartline returns to practice, fantasy status improving
Brian Hartline is back at practice Friday and is expected to play this week. We break down the fantasy implications.


Hartline has 67 catches for 1,002 yards on the year, but just one touchdown.
Fantasy Impact: Hartline is one of the few Dolphins receivers that was worth starting in fantasy, but he’s never been an inspiring option and hasn’t found the end zone since Week 4.
Hartline has an appealing matchup against Buffalo’s weak defense. Assuming he’s able to play, fantasy owners can pencil him in as a WR3/WR4 for the championship round.
