Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins’ 2026 fantasy outlook is built around speed, volume, and uncertainty after a major offseason shakeup, so the biggest fantasy story is that Jaylen Waddle was traded to Denver in March, removing one of Miami’s most reliable weekly playmakers from the offense. That makes De’Von Achane the clear centerpiece for fantasy managers, and he should be treated as a high-end RB1 because Miami still has every incentive to feature him as a runner and receiver even if the passing game is more volatile. Malik Washington and newcomer Caleb Douglas look like the next wideouts to monitor, while Chris Bell is also in the mix after being activated from the non-football injury list during camp.

At quarterback, the Dolphins enter the season with more questions than usual, and that matters a lot for the fantasy ceiling of everyone else on the roster. Malik Willis is the name showing up in the current fantasy depth chart discussion after Miami’s quarterback room changed this offseason, so this offense may lean even harder on the run game if the passing attack struggles to settle in. For fantasy purposes, that boosts Achane’s floor and makes Miami’s wide receivers harder to trust as anything more than matchup-based options.

The biggest recent injury note for fantasy is Chris Bell, who returned from an ACL issue and was only recently activated, so he’s a deeper-league stash rather than an immediate must-start. The current injury report also includes Jordyn Brooks, Zach Sieler, Quinn Ewers, Clelin Ferrell, and Chris Bell, which is worth monitoring because it can affect both defensive snap distribution and offensive game flow, especially if Miami enters the season banged up in the front seven. On the positive side, the Dolphins also reached extensions with Jordyn Brooks and Aaron Brewer during camp, signaling some stability in the core personnel around the offense.

Overall, Miami is a fantasy team to build around in pieces rather than as a full-stack offense: Achane is the safest and most valuable Dolphin by a wide margin, while the receiver room is more speculative after Waddle’s departure. Greg Dulcich is only a late-round or waiver-level tight end flier, and the rest of the pass-catchers are best viewed as bench darts until the quarterback situation clarifies. The cleanest strategy is simple: draft Achane confidently, watch camp and early-season usage closely for Washington, Bell, and Douglas, and be willing to move on quickly if the offense looks too unstable.
