2024 RTSports Outlook

Claypool had a really disappointing season. He was shipped to the Bears to help their passing game, but got very little work with his new team. He ended the season with 46 receptions for 451 yards and a touchdown. He had just three games with double-digit fantasy points all season. Claypool will get the offseason to work in the offense and get a better rapport with Justin Fields. He could be the third option at receiver behind D.J. Moore and Darnell Mooney, though. Claypool has two seasons with 850-plus yards but has never topped 900 yards in a season. Claypool is a very tall receiver that has good quickness for a man of his size. He does lack a little top speed but runs solid routes and can be an asset in the red zone because of his size. He also does a good job of making the acrobatic catch. He will drop some passes, having 15 drops in three seasons. Consistency and maturity have been an issue for him to start his career.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: Claypool took a step backwards last year. He could improve but don't expect a huge jump in a more run-heavy offense he is like the third or fourth option in the passing game. Consider him depth material for fantasy teams. Claypool can get around 60 receptions for 800 yards and five scores.

Player Notes
Nov 30 4:40pm ET

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) and wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) were both listed as limited participants at Thursday's practice. Both players were also limited at practice on Wednesday. Smythe and Claypool should be available to play this weekend against the Washington Commanders, but they are not on the fantasy radar. Smythe has only 18 receptions for 178 yards and no touchdowns in 10 games with the Dolphins this year. Claypool, meanwhile, has only played in three games with Miami since being acquired in a trade with the Chicago Bears. In those three games, he has one catch on two targets for a 15-yard gain.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday ahead of his team's Week 13 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Claypool has not taken the field since Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs but he could be heading in the right direction as Week 13 approaches. Stay tuned to his participation in practices on Thursday and Friday.

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Chase Claypool (knee) and Robbie Chosen are inactive for the Week 12 contest against the division-rival New York Jets on Friday. Chose, who was re-signed this week after temporarily being cut, is a healthy scratch. Claypool has played in only three games since the Dolphins acquired him in a trade with the Chicago Bears. He's been a non-factor, catching one pass on two targets for a 15-yard gain. Both Claypool and Chosen aren't anywhere near the fantasy radar and probably won't be for the rest of the year as receiving depth for Miami.

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) and wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) are active for Friday's game against the New York Jets. Both players were limited participants in practice on Thursday. Smythe, who hasn't played since Week 9, has 17 catches for 168 yards in 2023 but continues to search for his first touchdown of the season. Meanwhile, Claypool has just once catch since being traded from Chicago to Miami. Neither pass-catcher belongs on the fantasy radar in Week 12.

Nov 21 7:30pm ET

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Tyreek Hill (hand) and Chase Claypool (knee) were both listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report after the team held a walkthrough practice. Meanwhile, Braxton Berrios (hamstring) was listed as a full-go. Hill left the Week 11 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday and went to the locker room to have his hand looked at before eventually returning. The 29-year-old Cheetah could not be contained, going for 10 catches (11 targets) for 146 yards and a touchdown in the 20-13 victory. Hill comes into Week 12 as the overall WR1 in half-PPR scoring this year. His hand injury is nothing serious and won't keep him from playing this Friday against the New York Jets, where he'll be a locked-in WR1 in all fantasy lineups.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) has been ruled out for Week 11 against the Las Vegas Raiders after undergoing a minor knee procedure. Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Friday that Claypool was week-to-week after the surgery and now he's been officially ruled out for Week 11. He's made little to no impact as a member of the Dolphins, hauling in just one reception (two targets) for 15 yards in three games since being traded from Chicago. It's highly unlikely that he will recover any sort of fantasy value this season and can be left on the waiver wire.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) had a "minor procedure" on his knee during the bye last week and is considered week-to-week, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Claypool hasn't practiced this week and will most likely be officially ruled out on Friday's final Week 11 injury report. The Dolphins acquired Claypool midseason from the Chicago Bears, but the 25-year-old has just one catch on two targets for 15 yards in three games for Miami. The former second-round pick in 2020 out of Notre Dame by the Pittsburgh Steelers has been a disappointment ever since putting up nine touchdowns in 16 games in his rookie campaign. Claypool remains well off the fantasy radar, although it appears he has a chance to play again in 2023.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios (hamstring) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Meanwhile, receiver Chase Claypool (knee) missed practice for the second straight day. It's not a good sign for Claypool, especially coming off a bye week. Berrios has played in all nine games this year but has only 20 catches for 194 yards and one touchdown as depth behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Cedrick Wilson Jr. Claypool came over in a midseason trade from the Chicago Bears and has just one catch for 15 yards in his three games for Miami. Both Berrios and Claypool should stay on your league's waiver wire.

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Chase Claypool (knee) and Braxton Berrios (hamstring) did not set foot on the practice field on Wednesday. It's not a great sign for either receiver, especially coming off the team's Week 10 bye. As long as Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle remain healthy, Claypool and Berrios don't really have any intrigue in fantasy leagues. Claypool has only played three games with the Dolphins and has just one reception on two targets for 15 yards. Meanwhile, Berrios has 20 receptions for 194 yards and a touchdown in nine games played.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) is officially active for Sunday's meeting with the Eagles. The 25-year-old hasn't played since the Bears traded him a few weeks ago. But Claypool will have a fresh start in Miami after a disastrous tenure with the Bears, so fantasy managers hope he'll return to form. However, with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle the primary pass-catchers for Tua Tagovailoa, it's tough for other wideouts to stay involved consistently.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) practiced fully on Wednesday. Claypool has yet to make his debut for the Dolphins after they acquired him from the Chicago Bears on Friday, October 6. He has been a DNP coach's decision over the past two weeks and could remain on the sidelines until Miami determines that he's up to speed. If and when Claypool ultimately ends up suiting up for the Dolphins, he will be behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in the target pecking order.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 6 versus the Carolina Panthers, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The former second-round pick was acquired by Miami less than two weeks ago. He was inactive last week, too, though that was due to the fact that Claypool hadn't been afforded enough time to learn the offense. It's unclear if his Week 6 absence can also be blamed on a quick turnaround for the former Steeler and Bear.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chase Claypool will be inactive for Sunday's game against the New York Giants, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Claypool was traded from the Bears to the Dolphins on Friday, and while Miami seems intent on incorporating the young receiver into its offense, it's too quick of a turnaround to expect him to play after just one practice. He'll be inactive, which means fellow depth option Robbie Chosen should log some snaps for the third consecutive week.

Dynasty | Chase Claypool was traded to the Miami Dolphins for a late round pick swap. The Dolphins received Claypool and a 2025 seventh-round pick for a 2025 sixth-round pick. Dynasty Analysis: This is Claypool's third team in just four seasons. After a strong start in his rookie season with the Steelers, Claypool has found himself in the proverbial doghouse multiple times. The Bears just gave up the first pick in the second round of the 2023 draft, so this was a quick fall from grace.Claypool didn't put in a lot of effort in the first few games with the Bears, often seeming disinterested in blocking or running routes where he wasn't the primary target. While Claypool is physically talented, he's likely on his last chance in the NFL and probably doesn't belong on dynasty rosters unless you play in leagues with rosters of 24 or more.

The Miami Dolphins acquired wide receiver Chase Claypool and a seventh-round draft pick in 2025 from the Chicago Bears on Friday in exchange for a sixth-round pick in 2025, according to league sources. Claypool quickly wore out his welcome in Chicago after being acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers midseason last year. The 25-year-old Notre Dame product was a healthy scratch each of the last two games for the Bears and four catches for 51 yards and a touchdown in three games this year. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are the two unquestioned leaders of the receiver room in Miami, but Claypool offers intriguing size and speed to an already explosive offense. He will be competing with Braxton Berrios, Robbie Chosen and Cedrick Wilson Jr. for playing time once he gets up to speed.

Several NFL teams think that the Chicago Bears will end up releasing wide receiver Chase Claypool. "I think that's where it's trending," one NFL executive said. The Bears would prefer to get a late-round pick for Claypool, but his locker-room presence will be a strong consideration for any prospective team after he outstayed his welcome in both Pittsburgh and Chicago in the last two years. In 10 games in Chicago, he went over 30 yards receiving just twice. The 25-year-old has size and speed, though, so he might attract some interest from a few contending teams. Claypool's fantasy value has now hit rock bottom, and he shouldn't be rostered in the majority of single-year leagues. However, a trade to a contender could make him slightly more attractive the rest of the year.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool (healthy scratch) has officially been ruled out of the Thursday Night Football contest against the Washington Commanders. The 25-year-old was traded to Chicago for an early second-round pick in the middle of the 2022 season and has caught just 17 passes for 191 yards and one touchdown in 10 games. Head coach Matt Eberflus said Claypool was asked to stay away from the team, so it looks like his time as a Bear is coming to a close. Claypool was critical of his usage when speaking to the media last week and is now a healthy inactive for the second straight game.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool (other) did not practice on Tuesday, per beat writer Brad Biggs. Claypool was inactive for Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos and was not with the team on Monday either. A DNP on Tuesday most likely means he won't play on Thursday Night Football for the Bears' Week 5 game against the Washington Commanders. This has been an odd situation, to say the least, and at this point, it feels more than likely that Claypool won't take another snap for the Bears this year. Last season, Chicago traded away what became a first-round pick to the Steelers to acquire Claypool. In 10 total games with the Bears, the 25-year-old wideout has caught just 18 balls for 191 yards and one score.

Dynasty | Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool will remain away from the team this week after expressing displeasure in regards to his role in the offense. Dynasty Analysis: After showing a ton of promise in his first two years with the Steelers, the wheels have fallen off the proverbial cart. Claypool was traded at last year's deadline but was only able to muster 14 catches for 140 scoreless yards in seven games with the Bears last year. Through three games this season, he has four catches for 51 yards and a score. This relationship seems fractured beyond repair as Head Coach Matt Eberflus is basically keeping him home instead of even being around the team. Expect a trade or release in the coming days. Claypool's ranking of WR81 has nowhere to go but up at this point.

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus told ESPN1000 in Chicago that wide receiver Chase Claypool will remain away from the team this week as they prepare for their Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. The Bears made some changes to their offense heading into the Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, the biggest of which was making the struggling Claypool a healthy scratch. A report on Sunday also surfaced that the Bears are seeking to trade the 25-year-old wideout to a team that is in need of receiver depth. In the first three weeks this year, Claypool has just four catches for 51 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets. His fantasy value has hit rock bottom at this point, but a change of scenery could do him some good.
