Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins are one of the trickiest fantasy teams to project in 2026 because the offense has been reshaped around major roster turnover and a new coaching/playcalling setup. Recent previews describe Miami as a team with a “new-look offense” and “plenty of unanswered questions,” while also noting that many of the familiar fantasy-relevant names from past seasons are gone.

De’Von Achane is still the clear fantasy centerpiece and the safest Miami pick by a wide margin. Multiple 2026 previews have him ranked as the Dolphins’ top fantasy option, with one projecting him as a top-10 running back and another noting he is being drafted as a high-end RB1 in early fantasy markets. The main concern is workload rather than talent: Miami’s offense is projected to be low-volume, and Malik Willis’s rushing ability could siphon some goal-line and scramble opportunity, but Achane’s explosiveness and role in the run game keep him firmly in every-week fantasy lineup territory.

At quarterback, Malik Willis is the biggest swing factor. Miami has turned to Willis as the new starter, and previews point out that his fantasy value comes from his rushing ability more than passing volume, especially in an offense that is expected to rank near the bottom of the league in passing attempts, yards, and touchdowns. That makes him more appealing as a late-round QB2 or streaming option than as a set-and-forget starter. In the backfield behind Achane, Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II are mostly bench or deep-league flyers, because the projected workload and scoring environment do not support consistent standalone value.

The receiver room is much harder to trust. Miami’s depth chart shows Malik Washington and Jalen Tolbert near the top of the wideout rotation, with Tutu Atwell and rookie Chris Bell also in the mix, but recent fantasy previews warn that the Dolphins may struggle to support usable passing-game volume for multiple receivers. If someone emerges, Washington appears to have the best path to targets early, while Tolbert offers a more speculative touchdown-driven profile; Bell is a deeper dynasty and late-round stash because he was a rookie addition and is also listed with an injury tag in recent fantasy coverage. At tight end, Greg Dulcich is the name to know, but he profiles as a late dart throw rather than a reliable starter in a low-scoring offense.
