Miami’s offense heads into a high-stakes week as Tua Tagovailoa works to rekindle the Tua-to-Tyreek connection ahead of the Sept. 7 opener against Indianapolis. Limited practice and recent injuries cloud timing, raising questions about explosive plays from Hill and opportunities for Jaylen Waddle and Darren Waller. With Achane sidelined and Mattison out, the run game is unsettled, forcing a quick ramp for Ollie Gordon II and a test of Miami’s versatility. Fantasy owners should watch Hill’s health, Waller’s involvement, and how the line stabilizes as Indy looms.

Kraft’s early-season breakout potential sits atop the list for 2025, with Loveland & Pitts providing complementary upside as season-long moves unfold. Kraft offers a clear path to value if Green Bay leans into the pass more and targets rise, while Loveland presents late-season upside as Chicago’s offense stabilizes. Pitts remains a high-variance option, dependent on QB play and pass volume. Sam LaPorta’s TE1 rookie year offers a blueprint for breakout tight ends, and Dalton Kincaid alongside Darren Waller add steady floor upside in Bills and Giants lineups.

In short, target these late TE movers with awareness of quarterback changes, offensive schemes, and workload shifts. The article frames three late TE targets and sharpens draft decisions with direct comparisons across the position, equipping fantasy managers to build balanced rosters around trusted veterans and high-upside rookies.

David Njoku rises as a sleeper in 2025, buoyed by healthier health and Joe Flacco’s return to Cleveland, while the model flags C.J. Stroud’s sophomore-year volatility and Travis Kelce’s high upside with elevated variance. RJ Harvey lands as a breakout candidate for 2025, with A.J. Brown amid the mix of stars and sleepers and Ridley pegged as a bust risk given roster and QB concerns. The piece tees up a full SportsLine cheat sheet for every position, highlighting breakouts, sleepers and fades.

Darren Waller’s ramp back with the Miami Dolphins is underway after a month on PUP and limited camp work. He’s finally practicing competitively and in group drills as Week 1 vs. Indianapolis looms, with Mike McDaniel saying he’s right where they want him in activity.

Expect a cautious workload early, but Waller’s elite-receiver ceiling could unlock Miami’s passing game if he stays healthy. Fantasy managers should track practice updates and snap counts to gauge how quickly he can become a true weekly TE1 candidate.
