Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle will line up inside and outside, and they will have speed packages for him as well, according to head coach Sean Payton.
Huddle Up: Waddle really landed in a good spot for his fantasy value. He had a 64-910-6 line last season, which was good for the WR23 in PPR leagues. That was on an atrocious team, which bodes well for him in his new situation. He played 16 games last season, but he's always on the injury report. So, you'll have that headache, and in the thin air, that could present bigger injury concerns. However, he feels like a safe WR2 with some upside.

Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa has "a real chance" to earn the starting job over QB Michael Penix Jr., according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.
Huddle Up: With Penix returning from a knee injury, Tagovailoa could be the starter to by default to begin the season. However, it sounds like Tagovailoa could claim the job permanently. Regardless of who is under center for the Falcons, they are likely to provide QB2 production for fantasy owners.

Atlanta Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa, who recently signed a one-year deal with the Falcons, said he's willing to do whatever QB Michael Penix Jr. needs. "I look at myself when I was a rookie and I was very grateful for the chance that I had with someone like Ryan Fitzpatrick," Tagovailoa said. "I think whatever I can do to help Mike's game will help me because if I'm helping getting him better, it's helping me get better, vice versa, we're then helping the team get better."
Huddle Up: Penix is recovering from a torn ACL and may need a few weeks to get back during the season. Tugovailoa could start the first month, and the results would determine where the team goes from there. Either way, these two are QB2s in fantasy without a lot of upside this season.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane has agreed to restructure his contract, which has created salary cap space for the Dolphins.
Huddle Up: The Dolphins have moved on from several playmakers this offseason, so Achane should see a significant amount of touches during games in 2026. He will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine's one-year, $1.402 million contract includes a $187,500 signing bonus, $437,500 fully guaranteed and a 2026 base salary of $1.215 million.
Huddle Up: The dictionary definition of a "sacrificial X" wide receiver who doesn't draw targets, Westbrook-Ikhine parlayed a nine-touchdown, 60-target season in 2024 into just 20 targets and 11 receptions for the Miami Dolphins last season. Looking to reignite his career, Westbrook-Ikhine latches on with the Colts in the hopes that he can be an option to replace the recently traded Michael Pittman Jr. as the Colts' outside wide receiver. However, Westbrook-Ikhine is not fantasy relevant at this stage of his career.

The Denver Broncos officially traded their first-round pick, third-round pick, and fourth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and a 2026 fourth-round pick on Wednesday, March 18.
Huddle Up: Waddle will be the new WR2 for the Broncos upon his arrival. He has a chance to also be a reliable WR2 for your fantasy team in 2026 as he plays opposite Courtland Sutton.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is unavailable in trade, according to teams calling about him.
Huddle Up: Achane was the RB5 in PPR leagues despite being on a miserable offensive team. He has had some injury questions in the past, but most running backs do. He'll remain an upper-middle RB1 option in drafts.

Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle and a fourth-round pick were acquired by the Denver Broncos Tuesday, March 17, in exchange for a first-, third- and fourth-round pick.
Huddle Up: Waddle was the WR23 in PPR leagues after a 64-910-6 season in 2025. Waddle is seemingly on the injury report most weeks, but he has averaged 15.6 games played in his five seasons. He's just 27 years old and could easily rise to the top of the WR2 food chain in Denver.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa was officially released Thursday, March 12, with a post-June 1 designation.
Huddle Up: Tagovailoa is expected to join the Atlanta Falcons this offseason and will compete for their starting job. He will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he wins the job. The Dolphins will likely have Malik Willis as their starter and can also be a No. 2 quarterback in leagues.

Impending free-agent TE Julian Hill (Dolphins) and the New England Patriots have reportedly agreed to terms, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Wednesday, March 11.
Huddle Up: Hill has spent the previous three seasons with the Miami Dolphins, playing 45 games and bringing in 33 receptions. Used as a blocking tight end, Hill is likely to do the same for the New England Patriots in 2026. You can safely ignore Hill for fantasy purposes this season.

Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich agreed to terms on a new one-year contract with the Dolphins Monday, March 9, worth $3.25 million, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Dulcich was productive at the end of the 2025 season, but his role next season will depend on if Darren Waller remains on the team. Dulcich could be a No. 2 tight end in some fantasy leagues if he takes over the starting job.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa plans to sign a one-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons once he is officially released by the Dolphins, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Tagovailoa will likely compete with Michael Penix Jr. for the starting job during training camp, so fantasy players will need to monitor the situation. Neither quarterback is more than a No. 2 fantasy quarterback at this point.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa will have the Atlanta Falcons making a 'strong early push' to sign Tagovailoa once released, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo on Monday, March 9.
Huddle Up: Tagovailoa had his worst fantasy season since his rookie 2020 campaign, finishing as the QB25 and throwing for a career-worst 15 interceptions. With the Dolphins stating that they're moving on from Tagovailoa after six seasons, he'll look to latch on somewhere else. Whether he'll be fantasy relevant is another story. We'll see if Tagovailoa gets to a team where he can start, but if he does, he'll be a low-end QB2 in two-QB formats and a waiver wire dart throw option in single-QB seasonal formats.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has attracted interest from several NFL clubs who would pursue him if he becomes a free agent but would not have much desire to trade for him, according to EssentiallySports.com's Tony Pauline.
Huddle Up: The Dolphins have little leverage in this situation and opposing teams are willing to gamble that they can acquire Tagovailoa without having to give up any draft capital. They would also prefer to pay him the veteran minimum if he is cut by Miami rather than taking on his hefty 2026 contractual salary. Tagovailoa is likely to have an opportunity to start wherever he lands, which would make him worthy of consideration as a QB2 option in most fantasy leagues.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane reportedly could be a trade target for the Houston Texans this offseason, in the opinion of the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Alexander on Friday, Feb. 27.
Huddle Up: One of the most dynamic running backs in the NFL, Achane finished as fantasy's RB5 this season on the strength of 1,350 rushing yards, 67 receptions and 488 receiving yards this past season. That makes two consecutive top-five fantasy finishes for Achane, and he's cemented himself as one of the best rushing and receiving threats in the NFL. The potential for Achane getting more touchdown equity on a team that's ready to contend is incredibly enticing for fantasy managers, but Miami has stated that they're not looking to trade him. Whether he sticks around in Miami or is on a new team in 2026, Achane is a locked-in top-five fantasy running back this season and a worthwhile pick at the end of the first round or at the beginning of the second round.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane could be a candidate for a contract extension later in the offseason, according to general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan.
Huddle Up: Achane has been a big part of the Dolphins offense since entering the league and should see plenty of touches again next season. He will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle isn't being shopped, according to general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. The team is willing to listen to offers for him, though.
Huddle Up: Waddle was the WR23 in PPR leagues last season with a 64-910-6 line in 16 games. Waddle is entering the three-year, $84.75 million extension he signed and has predominately been a WR2 in his career.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is not actively being shopped, according to general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. The team is willing to listen to offers on him, though.
Huddle Up: Achane was the RB5 in PPR leagues in 16 games last season. Even with the offense in flux, his fantasy value should remain stable because of his pass-catching ability. He had 67 grabs last season. Target him as an upper-middle RB1.

Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers has a big fan in offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. According to sources, if the team can't sign a quarterback in the offseason, the plan would shift to Ewers as the starter and signing a backup.
Huddle Up: Ewers had 622 passing yards, three TDs and three INTs on 83 attempts last season, completing 66.3% of them. He's young, as he turns 23 in March, but there could be pockets of fantasy viability. That said, he's not more than a QB2 option in fantasy drafts.

Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle is a player the Pittsburgh Steelers could try to trade for this offseason, according to Steelers correspondent from The Pat McAfee show Mark Kaboly, and Kaboly said the Steelers attempted to acquire Waddle before the trade deadline.
Huddle Up: Miami reportedly views Waddle as a building block of the offense and doesn't want to trade the wide receiver, so it would likely to take a serious offer to make the Dolphins reconsider. With quarterback questions in either scenario, Waddle likely falls in the WR3 range in 2026.

Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle is not expected to be traded by the club this offseason, according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe, who added that the team views him as a "core" player.
Huddle Up: The 27-year-old Waddle had 64 receptions for 910 yards and six touchdowns over 16 games last season and can be viewed as a WR3 option for 2026 fantasy leagues.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is considered a core player and is not someone the team is looking to trade this offseason, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.
Huddle Up: The Dolphins have already started to overhaul their roster, but it doesn't sound like Achane will be part of any of the changes. Achane has averaged 1,668.5 scrimmage yards over the past two seasons, and his combination of explosiveness and versatility makes him a RB1 in any format.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa could be cut this offseason by the team, in the opinion of NFL.com's Matt Okada.
Huddle Up: Tua Tagovailoa is likely to earn a chance to start somewhere in 2026 due to the lack of talent in the NFL Draft. Where he lands will determine his fantasy prevelance but he is worth keeping tabs on.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is increasingly likely to be playing with a different team next season, although the organization has not made a final decision, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The Dolphins would likely have to eat most of the $54 million in guaranteed money that Tagovailoa is slated to earn in 2026 if he is traded and a $45.2 million dead cap charge would be applied to the salary cap. However, releasing him would allow Miami to spread the dead cap charge over two years and they would then have to pay Tagovailoa $3 million in fully guaranteed money in 2027.
Huddle Up: Miami's final decision on Tagovailoa is likely to be made by March 13, when the new league year begins. Fantasy players should continue to monitor this situation because there is a good chance that he could land a starting NFL job elsewhere in 2026, which would make him a QB2 option in most fantasy leagues.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is not expected to return on his "current deal," in the opinion of ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques, who writes that trading Tagovailoa "will be tricky" based on his level of play and money remaining on his contract. Louis-Jacques adds that the Dolphins could "sweeten" any trade package for their quarterback by "including a draft pick."
Huddle Up: With a new GM and new head coach in place, Tagovailoa is indeed likely headed elsewhere for 2026. How much he would be of interest to fantasy owners is dubious, however, after his role was marginalized under former head coach Mike McDaniel prior to his benching. We'll see where he lands, but between his injury history and recent production, the lefty is likely to be a late-round curiosity, at best.

Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa indicated that he is open to playing for a different team next season.
Huddle Up: Tagovailoa was benched late in the season and is unlikely to be the starting quarterback for the Dolphins next season. There is a good chance that he starts for a team next season, but fantasy players can monitor the situation. He will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in fantasy leagues if he starts in 2026.

Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington had three receptions for six yards and a touchdown on four targets in Week 18 against the New England Patriots, and he ran twice for 22 yards.
Huddle Up: Washington could have a role in the offense in 2026, but there is likely to be a lot of roster turnover in South Florida this offseason. If he is able to settle in as the No. 3 receiver for the Dolphins, he could have fantasy role, but we aren't even sure who the quarterback will be at this point, and if he is even on the team yet. Stay tuned.
