River Cracraft

The Washington Commanders are signing wide receiver River Cracraft and releasing wide receiver Mike Strachan.

Fantasy Impact

Cracraft most recently played with the Miami Dolphins, spending three seasons there while catching 25 passes. After going undrafted in 2017, the former Washington State receiver spent time with three teams before landing in Florida. He spent time with Seattle earlier this offseason before being waived in May.

The Dolphins activated River Cracraft from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact

Cracraft is set to make his season debut when he gets onto the field. He remains off the fantasy radar.

River Cracraft has been placed on Miami's injured reserve with a designation to return.

Fantasy Impact

Cracraft will miss a couple of weeks at least at the start of the season while on IR, but he is expected to make his return to the field sooner rather than later. He doesn't have standalone fantasy value, but his added depth could be useful for Tua Tagovailoa.

Miami Dolphins WR River Cracraft suffered an upper-body injury during the team's preseason contest and will miss time extending into the start of the regular season.

Fantasy Impact

While he is expected to return this season, this is not ideal for Miami, which was relying on him to help solidify its WR depth. He dealt with injuries last season which limited him to just 10 games. The Dolphins wanted Odell Beckham Jr. to be their WR3, but he is also dealing with an injury, so they will potentially have to turn to veteran WR Braxton Berrios or rookie WR Malik Washington in the season opener.

River Cracraft caught 2-of-2 targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins 13-6 win over the Commanders.

Fantasy Impact

Cracraft caught a touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa for 13 yards in the Dolphins opening drive of the game. He figures to remain the likely No. 3 wide receiver for Miami this season behind Tyreek Hill and Jayden Waddle.
