Poyer finished Sunday's 29-17 win over San Francisco with seven tackles (three solo). Poyer co-led the Dolphins in tackling Sunday with Jordyn Brooks. Poyer has registered at least seven combined tackles in six of the Dolphins' last seven games. He has played every single defensive snap in 11 of 14 regular-season games has accumulated 84 tackles (43 solo) and two pass defenses. Poyer will look to reach the tackling century mark for the second straight year (and the fifth time in his NFL career), starting with Miami's Week 17 bout against Cleveland on Sunday, December 29.
Poyer made seven tackles (four solo) during Miami's 32-26 win over New York in Week 15. Poyer has now logged seven or more stops in all but one of his eight appearances since the Dolphins' bye in Week 6, and he's played 100 percent of defensive snaps in each of those contests. While he hasn't yet demonstrated significant fantasy upside this season, Poyer possess a reliable floor for production heading into Sunday's road matchup against the Texans.
Poyer posted nine tackles (five solo) in Thursday's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Packers. Poyer tied for second on Miami with his nine stops in the defeat. The tackle total tied his season-high mark, which he previously established Week 3 versus Seattle. In his first season with the Dolphins, Poyer has totaled 69 tackles and two pass defenses over 11 contests.
Poyer recorded seven tackles (two solo) during Monday's 23-15 win against the Rams. Poyer was on the field for all 68 of the Dolphins' defensive snaps in Week 10, and he tallied at least seven tackles for the third time in his last four outings. He's on the fringe of IDP consideration in some formats going into a Week 11 tilt versus the Raiders.
Poyer recorded eight total tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 28-27 loss to Arizona. Poyer was able to compile eight takedowns for the second week in a row, while also adding his first pass defensed of the season in Week 8. The safety has now produced 35 total tackles (20 solo) and a pass defensed over six contests in 2024.
Poyer recorded eight total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Colts. Poyer led the team in tackles, notching eight stops in his return to the field after missing the team's Week 5 win over the Patriots due to a shin injury. The safety has now compiled 27 total tackles (17 solo) over five games this season.
Poyer (shin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Poyer upgraded to a full practice Friday after opening the Dolphins' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, suggesting he's moved past his shin issue in time for Sunday's contest. Expect the first-year Dolphin to start alongside Jevon Holland (hand) or Marcus Maye as part of Miami's top safety duo in Week 7.
Poyer (shin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. Poyer didn't practice at all this week ahead of Sunday's AFC East tilt. Marcus Maye will likely draw into the starting lineup next to Jevon Holland on Sunday in place of Poyer.
Coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Poyer (shin) will not practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. McDaniel doesn't seem optimistic about Poyer's chances of suiting up for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Patriots, which is unsurprising given that the starting safety has missed three consecutive practices since being forced out of Monday's loss to the Titans. Marcus Maye will likely start at strong safety if Poyer's shin injury indeed rules him out for Sunday's divisional clash.
