Miami Dolphins PKs Zane Gonzalez and Riley Patterson are vying for the starting placekicker job. Patterson hit 93.1 percent (27-of-29) of his field-goal attempts, a new single-season franchise record. He was re-signed to the NFL minimum, and the team brought in the journeyman Gonzalez to compete.
Huddle Up: Whomever emerged as the starter for the Dolphins will simply be a PK2 in most fantasy leagues, as the Dolphins figure to struggle to score points. However, the Miami starter could be a bye-week replacement, so don't forget about Gonzalez or Patterson completely.

Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington has been praised for his ability to learn and execute the offense, and he has seemingly grasped the new playbook faster than any of his teammates. He has emerged as a favorite target of new QB Malik Willis, but he still needs to step out of the slot and into a split end or flanker role to see the field more consistently.
Huddle Up: Washington has the potential to be a top target in the Miami passing offense, especially as the lone holdover trying to replace the likes of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, etc. He will be trying to hold off the likes of Tutu Atwell, Chris Bell, Kevin Coleman Jr., Caleb Douglas, Terrace Marshall Jr., Jalen Tolbert, Theo Wease Jr. and Tahj Washington in a crowded, yet rather unspectacular receivers room. He has fantasy potential, but let's see how training camp and the preseason goes before green-lighting him as anything more than a late-round fantasy flyer.

Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich was considered one of the top performers at organized team activities (OTAs), and he has seemingly built an early rapport with new QB Malik Willis. Still, he needs to work to become a reliable run blocker and pass protector, also known as in-line duties. The team drafted TE Will Kacmarek for in-line duties, and he has shown some good hands early on.
Huddle Up: Dulcich is the go-to guy at tight end in Miami early, and it's possible he could emerge as a low-end TE1 or top-tier TE2 guy in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams. However, he will have Kacmarek breathing down his neck, and rookie Seydou Traore is also in the mix. Do not draft Dulcich as a fantasy starter, but more of a player with upside in the later rounds on draft day.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) is doing rehab work with trainers at organized team activities. Achane had cleanup surgery on his shoulder after the season and should be ready for training camp.
Huddle Up: Achane was the RB5 in PPR leagues on a bad team last season. The offense around him hasn't improved much, but he remains a solid upper-middle RB1 option.

Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis has been told to focus on learning the offensive system and can work on becoming a team leader later, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
Huddle Up: Willis is in line to be the starting quarterback for the Dolphins, so he will need to understand the offense before the start of the season. He has played well at times over the last few seasons but will likely be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback this season.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane reported to organized team activities Tuesday, May 19.
Huddle Up: Achane was the RB5 in PPR leagues last season on a miserable team. They don't figure to be much better, but QB Malik Willis could give the offense a different dimension that opens things up for Achane. He'll be a good midrange RB1 that could fall in drafts due to the fear of the offensive struggles.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension worth $68 million - including $32 million guaranteed - to remain with the team on Wednesday, May 13.
Huddle Up: Achane is the one player that Miami has made off-limits this offseason. This kind of commitment suggests that will remain the case. Achane's 2026 season (he will turn 25 in mid-October) figures to be the most challenging of his career considering the lack of talent the Dolphins have around him on offense, although he should benefit from the run threat Malik Willis will provide. The fourth-year pro will likely be drafted as an RB1 in most fantasy leagues, but his managers should prepare for more weekly inconsistency than at any point during his NFL career.

Louisville WR Chris Bell (knee) was selected by the Miami Dolphins with the 94th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Bell was having an excellent collegiate season prior to suffering a major knee injury, but if he can regain his form, he could emerge as a starting receiver for Miami down the road. For now, Bell can be considered a high-risk, high-reward stash option for dynasty formats.

Texas Tech WR Caleb Douglas was selected by the Miami Dolphins with 75th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Douglas will be a big target in a Miami receiving room that is lacking an obvious No. 1 option. He is a name worth keeping an eye on throughout the offseason to see if he can push a for significant playing time.

Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich finished the 2025 season strong, and new head coach Jeff Hafley and the Miami brass are high on the tight end going into 2026. "I thought he had a really good back end of the season, and I want to see if he can build on that. It's why we brought him back," general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said.
Huddle Up: Dulcich will have the entire offseason to jell with Malik Willis. That work, getting on the same page, while also having the stability of staying in the same place in consecutive seasons, should really help the tight end grow. Right now, he should only be considered as a low-end TE2 for fantasy purposes heading into 2026, but he has upside potential, and isn't a bad late-round pick if you have the roster flexibility.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane was seen at the team's facility on Thursday, April 16, after missing the team's workouts earlier in the month. Achane is in the middle of contract talks with the team.
Huddle Up: Achane is going to be a key piece in the Dolphins' offense in 2026, and seeing him back in the facility is a good sign of things. He should have another RB1 finish, even with the team tearing things down offensively around him.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is not available in a trade, according to general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan.
Huddle Up: Achane is looking for a new contract, but the team are not interested in trading him at this time despite their other moves this offseason. Achane will continue to be a big part of the Dolphins offense in 2026 and will be a weekly starting option in all leagues.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is entering the final year of his contract, and he is seeking an extension. No deal is close, according to sources. Buffalo Bills RB James Cook, a tailback comparable to Achane in style and production, received a five-year, $51.6 million contract with $30 million in guaranteed money last season, and Achane is likely to accept nothing less.
Huddle Up: Achane has been absent for voluntary workouts, but there is still plenty of time for the sides to come to an agreement. Achane is easily the most explosive offensive weapon in South Florida, and it's hard to imagine the team not wanting to keep him happy. He will again be a top-tier fantasy option in 2026, as long as the contract impasse doesn't take a nasty turn.

Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich was brought back after showing considerable improvement in the 2025 season. "I thought he had a really good back end of the season, and I want to see if he can build on that," general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said. In 10 games, all Week 8 and beyond, Dulcich had 26 catches, 335 yards and a touchdown.
Huddle Up: Dulcich was brought back on a one-year deal, and he could potentially start. He'll have the offseason and training camp to jell with new QB Malik Willis, as Miami tries to rebuild its offense. Dulcich might not necessarily be someone to consider as a TE1 in most fantasy leagues, especially on draft day, but he is a name to file away as a potential player, especially once bye weeks start.

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane did not report to the first day of voluntary offseason workouts, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
Huddle Up: Achane is heading into the final year of his contract and is looking for a new one before the season. This should not change his outlook for the upcoming season, and he remains one of the top running backs in fantasy football.

Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis is expected to be the centerpiece the team builds around, according to general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. "Bringing him in on a three-year deal was very important to us," Sullivan said. "It's going to give us the opportunity to put multiple draft classes around him and make some noise in free agency."
Huddle Up: Willis showed potential in spot duty with the Green Bay Packers last season after struggling with a similar barebones structure in Tennessee. The fantasy outlook isn't going to be great in 2026, but he could be a matchup play as a QB2 in fantasy.

Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis is an "ascending player," according to general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. "One, it was important for us to get him on a three-year deal because we want to build around him," Sullivan said. "Two, this is not a band-aid."
Huddle Up: The Dolphins can talk about Willis being the answer at the quarterback position, but his play on the field will ultimately determine whether or not he is the long-term starter. Willis flashed some potential in a small sample last year, and he should be considered a QB2 with upside heading into 2026.

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.

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 Jalen Tolbert may be a candidate for the starting receiver job opposite WR Jaylen Waddle next season, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Marcel Louis-Jacques.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to see what the Dolphins to at receiver for the rest of the offseason, but it appears like Tolbert may have a solid role in the passing game in 2026. He could be a late round pick in some deeper leagues if he starts but is unlikely to be a starting option most weeks.

Free-agent WR Tutu Atwell (Rams) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins Thursday, March 12, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Atwell has a chance to have a solid role in the Dolphins passing game next season and has shown the ability to make big plays during his career. Fantasy players should keep an eye on his role during training camp because he can be a possible late round pick in deeper leagues due to his possible upside.

Impending free-agent TE Ben Sims (Vikings) and the Miami Dolphins have reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year deal, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network on Wednesday, March 11.
Huddle Up: In 45 career games across three NFL seasons, Sims has tallied 11 receptions for 93 yards and a touchdown. As a blocking tight end, Sims is safe to ignore for fantasy football in 2026.

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.

Impending free-agent QB Malik Willis (Packers) agreed to terms on a three-year contract with the Miami Dolphins Monday, March 9, worth $67.5 million, according to sources. The deal will include $45 million in guaranteed money.
Huddle Up: Head coach Jeff Hafley is familiar with Willis since they were both with the Packers last year, so Willis will be the starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. He will have some good targets to throw to in 2026 but will probably be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in most 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 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.

Green Bay Packers impending free-agent QB Malik Willis is expected to be a target for the Cleveland Browns this offseason, according to The Cleveland Plain-Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot.
Huddle Up: Willis will receive interest from several teams this offseason and is in line to be a starter for a team in 2026. He played well in his limited workload this past season but will probably only be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues no matter where he plays.

Green Bay Packers impending free-agent QB Malik Willis is reportedly believed to be a favored target for the Miami Dolphins and new head coach Jeff Hafley, according to Tony Pauline of Essentially Sports on Monday, Feb. 23.
Huddle Up: Willis was pressed into duty for four games last season, starting one in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens. His lone start produced 288 passing yards and a touchdown on 18-of-21 passing, plus 60 rushing yards and two rushing scores. Plucked in the trade market following the 2024 preseason, Willis has been an excellent backup quarterback in the handful of times he's needed to come in, and that promise has intrigued several NFL franchises as Willis hits free agency in 2026 despite a small sample size of opportunities. For fantasy, it's the rushing production that draws eyes to Willis, as that has historically been what has separated average fantasy quarterbacks from the excellent ones. If Willis is signed as a starter in 2026, he'll be an immediate sleeper candidate for fantasy managers to take a flier on in drafts.
