Joe Bachie, undrafted in 2020, locked in with the Indianapolis Colts on the 53-man roster, continuing a career that has seen him survive stints with four NFL teams. His persistence—surviving through Saints, Eagles and Bengals stops before landing in Indy—highlights the value of depth linebackers and special-teams contributions for roster-building in today’s NFL.

Across four teams, Bachie has carved out a role as a reliable inside linebacker and core special-teams player. The Colts’ final roster move gives him another opportunity to contribute, particularly on kick- and punt-return coverage. Fantasy managers in deeper IDP leagues should track his snaps and tackles early, as rotational availability and special-teams roles can translate into meaningful tackle counts when opportunity arises.

Jaguars study the waiver wire after final cuts, targeting six players at WR and CB who could boost Jacksonville’s depth. The group includes Chris Lammons, Courtney Jackson, Simi Fehoko, Myles Bryant, KJ Osborn, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Cornelius Johnson. Waiver priority, four-year experience rules, and the possibility of immediate roster moves shape the plan as Gladstone refines the roster.

With receivers needing more bite and the secondary needing depth, Jacksonville weighs proven help and upside options who could contribute quickly. The strategy centers on bolstering nickel/slot coverage and adding a big-bodied target for Liam Coen’s system, while leveraging any veteran presence to stabilize the depth chart and fantasy relevance alike.

Darren Waller remains a Wait-and-see for Week 1 with the Dolphins after a retirement comeback. Activated off PUP on Aug 20, he has been limited in practices and did not play in the Detroit preseason game, but work on Instagram signals progress. Miami plans to ease him in, aiming for a healthy return for the Colts opener.

With Waller in the mix, Miami’s TE room shifts from depth to potential fantasy anchor. He joins a veteran-laden group in a low-volume, high-ceiling offense, and his presence could unlock more targets for the unit, especially if he ramps up quickly behind UDFA Julian Hill and Tanner Conner after the Jonnu Smith trade.

The Dolphins are weighing waiver-wire adds after trimming to 53, targeting five players who could bring speed or upside without wrecking current roles. The short list includes Armour-Davis, Woods, Dulcich, Pole and Estime. Waiver moves are usually modest bets, but these options offer clear paths to the 53 if they clear and fit Miami’s scheme.

Armour-Davis boosts corner depth with elite speed and familiarity with Weaver’s system; Woods or Dulcich would reshape the TE room; Pole provides o-line athleticism; Estime injects downhill power behind a run game that could use a punch. Expect a handful of claims, with real upside if the fit is right.

Miami fans should track which of these players lands and how quickly they carve out a role, especially given Waller’s ongoing absence and the need for versatile weapons in a crowded offense.
