Player Notes

July 5, 2009
According to ProFootballTalk.com, the Dolphins plan to use Ernest Wilford as both a receiver and a tight end this season. Wilford has been working at both positions this summer.

Our View:Wilford is a big body and could be a nice pass-catching option as a tight end. His fantasy value is kind of up in the air right now, but he could develop as a nice tight end option if the transition goes smoothly.

June 22, 2009
According to the Miami Herald, Dolphins' wide receiver Ernest Wilford may be in jeopardy of being cut by the team before the season begins. Dolphins' writer Armando Salguero assesses that "unless he steps up his game a couple of notches, he's simply not one of the best five guys. His hands still aren't reliable. He doesn't have explosion off the line of scrimmage."

Our View:Wilford has been working a bit as an H-back/tight end, which could give him a better chance to make the squad, but it looks like he has very little chance to make the team as a receiver. Wilford should not be considered in any fantasy leagues, especially since his status seems very much in doubt.

May 21, 2009
Head coach Tony Sparano has been pleased with Ernest Wilford, according to the Sun-Sentinel. Sparano said, "One of the things that intrigues me with Ernest is his size and his strength. The guy is really a strong player, so having the ability to maybe move him around is beneficial."

Our View:The Dolphins have been experimenting using the receiver as a tight end/H-back. Sparano believes he could use Wilford to create matchup problems for the defense, and will give him a better chance to make the club in 2009.

May 18, 2009
Ernest Wilford has been practicing a bit as a tight end/H-back with Miami, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus' twitter page.

Our View:Wilford has the size and strength to handle the positions, and will give him a better chance to make the Dolphins. He only caught three passes for 25 yards as a wide receiver in 2008.

November 28, 2008
Ernest Wilford will be active in Week 13 after the injury to Greg Camarillo's knee, and he will get the chance to start against his former team, the Dolphins, according to the Miami Herald.

Our View:Wilford has only one reception on the year, a completely wasted one of course, but he will look to finish well starting with Week 13. Don't expect him to offer too much production in any form.
