Catches two passes in win
Berrios secured two of three targets for 28 yards during Sunday night's 24-17 win over the Patriots.
Berrios also operated as Miami's top punt returner, handling two returns for a total of 27 yards. Behind target leaders Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (concussion), Berrios retains enough involvement in his rotational offensive role to warrant some fantasy consideration in deep formats. If Waddle remains in the concussion protocol Week 3 versus the Broncos, it would pave the way for Berrios to handle an expanded gig.

Makes three grabs Week 1
Berrios secured three of five targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 36-34 win over the Chargers.
Berrios clearly played behind both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, as expected, but he managed fair production in his Dolphins regular-season debut. River Cracraft also had three grabs on five targets, going for 40 yards and a score. More surprising, though, is that TE Durham Smythe finished second on the team in targets with seven. In games where Miami doesn't have to play catch-up, Berrios and Cracraft likely won't see so many opportunities.
Scores in preseason win
Berrios (head) secured three of four targets for 33 yards and one touchdown during Monday's exhibition win over the Texans.
Berrios returned to action after having suffered a head injury on a punt return Aug. 13, and in impressive fashion. He began the game with one catch from starter Tua Tagovailoa, with his final two grabs, including an 18-yard touchdown to end the second quarter, coming from Skylar Thompson. He looks slated to operate as the Dolphins' top return man this season, while also handling a depth role at wideout.
Gets stitches, set to miss time
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Sunday that Berrios needed stitches after injuring his head on a punt return and will be forced to miss some time, Adam H. Beasley of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Per Beasley, Berrios can't put a helmet on until he gets the stitches removed, but it's unclear how long they'll have to stay in. The returner's next chance to suit up for game action will come next Saturday in Houston, but Miami may keep him sidelined for the remainder of preseason action to ensure he's healthy for Week 1 of the regular season.
Picks up injury Friday
Berrios (undisclosed) went to the locker room with a Dolphins trainer during Friday's preseason game against the Falcons, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Berrios was on the receiving end of a big collision during a punt return in the second quarter. If he's unable to return Friday, he'll finish Miami's exhibition opener with two catches (on four targets) for 11 yards and two punt returns for eight yards.
Signing with Dolphins
The Dolphins are slated to sign Berrios to a one-year deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The 27-year-old will provide the Dolphins with added wide receiver depth behind top options Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, as well as give the team a capable option in the return game. In 17 games for the Jets in 2022, Berrios logged a modest 18-145-0 receiving line while adding two rushing touchdowns, but if he's able to secure steady snaps out of the slot with Miami, the 5-foot-9, 190-pounder could see an uptick in production this coming season.
Cap casualty for Jets
New York informed Berrios on Thursday that he will be released, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Berrios will be officially released at the start of the new league year, after he and the Jets were unable to come to terms on a contract restructure. The depth wideout saw his production dip to an 18-145-0 receiving line with an added two rushing touchdowns in 2022, but he's shown enough in his career to find another reserve spot on the open market. The 27-year-old is also able to contribute in the return game.
Two rushing TDs in 2022
Berrios wasn't targeted in Sunday's season finale against the Dolphins.
Berrios took a major step back as a receiver in 2022 after totaling 825 yards and five touchdowns over the previous two seasons. He finished the campaign with just 18 catches for 145 yards on 32 targets, though he was able to find the end zone twice as a rusher while gathering 91 total yards on the ground. He also threw a two-yard touchdown pass and contributed 840 yards as a return man. The 27-year-old receiver has one more year left on his contract with the Jets and should reprise his role as a return man and part-time player on offense in 2023.
One catch in Week 17
Berrios caught his only target for 24 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.
Berrios added a pair of kickoff returns for 51 yards and two punt returns for eight yards. He has caught multiple passes in only three games this season after notching at least five receptions five times in 2021.
