Signs with Miami
The Dolphins signed Cracraft on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Cracraft returns to a Dolphins squad for which he recorded nine catches for 102 yards and two touchdowns while appearing both on offense and special teams in 2022. While the 28-year-old might find himself buried in a crowded receiver room headed into next season, he should still be able to carve out a role for himself on special teams.

Free agency looms
Cracraft secured nine of 14 targets for 102 yards and two touchdowns across 11 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2022.
Analysis: Cracraft split time with Cedrick Wilson as the No. 4 wideout in Miami's offense during the 2022 campaign, and he's set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Considering that Cracraft has experience in coach Mike McDaniel's offensive scheme going back to 2021 in San Francisco, though, he could be an option to re-sign with the Dolphins at relatively low cost. Cracraft's 2022 receiving totals signify career-high marks across the board.

Returning to action Sunday
Cracraft (calf) is not on Miami's inactives list for Sunday's Week 17 game against New England.
Analysis: Cracraft has been battling a calf injury since Week 13 and has missed each of Miami's past three contests. He logged a DNP both Wednesday and Thursday during Week 17 prep but was able to return to practice in a limited fashion Friday. He's since been deemed healthy enough to play Sunday and could slot in as Miami's No. 4 wideout behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Trent Sherfield.

Questionable vs. Patriots
Cracraft (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against New England, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Cracraft was unable to participate in Miami's first two practice sessions this week, but he returned in a limited capacity Friday and will have a chance to suit up in Week 17. If he remains out, Braylon Sanders could see some playing time once again.

Cracraft (calf) didn't practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Cracraft has been held out of three straight games due to a calf injury and remains sidelined to start Week 17 prep.

Cracraft (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: With Cracraft (who last suited up in Week 13) still sidelined, Cedrick Wilson and Braylon Sanders are available to handle the wideout reps that don't go to Miami's top three options at the position, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Trent Sherfield. Cracraft's next chance to suit up will arrive in Week 17 against the Patriots.

Doubtful for Week 16
Cracraft (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Packers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Cracraft was unable to practice at all this week and appears headed for a third consecutive absence. The 28-year-old wide receiver caught six of his seven targets in the two games preceding his injury.

Remains sidelined Thursday
Cracraft (calf) did not participate during the Dolphins' practice Thursday.
Analysis: Cracraft has now missed back-to-back practices to begin Week 16 prep, so it seems he'll likely miss his third game in a row due to a calf injury. The 28-year-old caught six of seven targets for 84 yards in his last two outings, and he figures to slot in as Miami's No. 4 wideout behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Trent Sherfield when available again. Therefore, Cracraft's likely absence should leave increased opportunities for Cedrick Wilson on Christmas Day against the Packers.

Doubtful for Week 15
Cracraft (calf) has been listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Bills, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Cracraft did not practice during Week 15 prep, and he is now likely to miss his second game in a row while dealing with a calf injury. The 28-year-old caught six of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown over two games before sitting out Week 14 versus the Chargers. Should Cracraft remain sidelined against Buffalo, then Trent Sherfield and Cedrick Wilson should see increased opportunities behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Cracraft (calf) was a non-participant at practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

DNP on Wednesday
Cracraft (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Cracraft's non-participation estimate was his second in as many days. He is coming off a one-game absence and has not yet started trending in a possitive direction for Saturday's game against the Bills. More clarity on his status will come with Thursday's injury report. If he is ultimately unable to go, Cedrick Wilson and Erik Ezukanma could potentially see some extra snaps in passing situations.

Analysis: Cracraft was unable to give it a go Sunday against the Chargers due to a calf issue, and his designation as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimate doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up this weekend versus the Bills.

Logs limited activity
Cracraft (calf) was limited in Thursday's practice, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: Cracraft's appearance on the injury report put his availability for Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Chargers into question. Fellow wide receiver Tyreek Hill didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, so Cracraft could see an uptick in usage if Hill is unable to suit up against Los Angeles. Friday's injury report should provide further clarification regarding both of the pass-catchers' statuses.

Makes two grabs in Week 13 loss
Cracraft secured two of three targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 33-17 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Cracraft continues to hold down the No. 4 wideout role behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Trent Sherfield, the latter of whom opened Sunday's loss with a 75-yard touchdown on Miami's first offensive play. With 13 targets in his last three appearances, Cracraft could find himself on the fantasy radar in deeper leagues, while heading into a Week 14 contest against the Chargers.

Impactful in Week 12 win
Cracraft secured all four of his targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 30-15 win over Houston.
Analysis: Cracraft was involved in Sunday's gameplan, one that saw Tua Tagovailoa spread the ball around between nine different pass-catchers while still focusing most on Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill (undisclosed), who combined for 19 targets. In seven prior appearances this season Cracraft combined for just two catches, so he's not yet on the fantasy radar, but it's noteworthy to see the 28-year-old so involved Week 12.

Set to join active roster
The Dolphins are slated to sign Cracraft to their active roster ahead of Thursday night's game against the Bengals, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Cracraft has hauled in a pair of touchdowns already this season, which was enough for the team to elect to elevate him from the practice squad. With Miami struggling to get much out of the WR corps outside of Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, Cracraft has the opportunity to emerge as the next best option. The Dolphins didn't need to release anyone with the signing, as they had an open spot on their 53-man roster.

Heads back to practice squad
Cracraft reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Cracraft is not eligible for any more elevations from Miami's practice squad after being activated for the team's first three games this season. Though he only played nine offensive snaps, the 27-year-old wideout hauled in an 11-yard touchdown on his lone target during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Bills. Cracraft's performance over the past three weeks may have been enough to secure a depth role on the Dolphins' active roster moving forward.

Scores for second straight week
Cracraft secured his only target for an 11-yard touchdown during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Cracraft has been elevated from the practice squad for all three of Miami's wins this season, with touchdowns in each of the last two weeks. The Dolphins now have to decide whether to sign Cracraft to the active roster, as he's no longer eligible to be a gameday elevation. The 27-year-old has certainly made a case for himself as a depth option.

Elevates from practice squad
The 49ers elevated Cracraft to the active roster Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Cracraft is expected to make his 49ers debut Sunday against the Seahawks. The team needs depth at wide receiver because Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and Richie James (ankle) have been ruled out, so Cracraft will operate as the No. 5 wide receiver. He could also return kicks if necessary.
