WR Will Fuller is signing a one-year deal with the Dolphins. The deal reportedly includes up to $10 million with “significant upside,” per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

Fuller missed the final five games of the 2020 season after being handed down a six-game suspension for PED use. He won’t make his Dolphins debut until Week 2. The 26-year-old WR was finally able to stay healthy last season, setting career-highs in receptions (53), receiving yards (879) and touchdowns (8) across 11 games. Fuller gives the Dolphins a big-time deep threat and will compete with DeVante Parker and Preston Williams for targets in the Dolphins passing game. Fuller is currently 27th among all wideouts in the latest expert consensus draft rankings.

The Houston Texans do not plan on placing the franchise tag on impending free agent wide receiver Will Fuller V, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

Fantasy Impact

Wilson stated in his article that the Texans would like to re-sign Fuller but that he's expected to leave via free agency. The game-breaking wide receiver missed the final five game's of the 2020 season while serving a PED suspension and still has one game left to serve at the start of next year. He hasn't been the model of health over his career and the PED issue presents another obstacle so he's likely to command an AAV way less than the franchise tag at his position, which is $16.54 million. The Texans are a mess right now with franchise QB Deshaun Watson demanding a trade and longtime defensive standout J.J Watt requesting his release last month. It makes sense that Fuller would want to try his hand elsewhere but what the length and value of his next contract will be is anyone's guess.

Texans WR Will Fuller V has been suspended six games for a PED violation.

Fuller announced on Instagram Monday night that he has been suspended six games for violating the NFL’s policy on Performance Enhancing Substances. Fuller said “I sought treatment from a medical professional who prescribed medication that he believed to be permitted under the NFL’s drug policy. As it turns out, my trust in this professional was misplaced because this medication was not a permitted substance under the NFL policy on Performance Enhancing Substances.” Fuller will be out for the remainder of the season with five games left on the docket and is set to become a free agent after this season. Brandin Cooks, Keke Coutee, Randall Cobb, and even rookie Isaiah Coulter all stand to benefit from Fuller’s absence.

Will Fuller V caught six of eight targets for 80 yards on Sunday as the Texans beat the Patriots by a 27-20 score in Week 11 action.

Fantasy Impact

Fuller was quiet for most of the game as the Patriots keyed in on trying to stop the Texan's top receiver. But the 26-year-old came up big in the touchdown winning drive in the fourth quarter. Fuller should be owned in all fantasy leagues and has a good matchup in Week 12 when the team faces the Lions.
