Fantasy Footprint
Miami is implementing a complete reset under new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and OC Bobby Slowik. QB Malik Willis signed a 3-year, $67.5M deal with $45M guaranteed—essentially 2+1 with a team option, allowing the Dolphins to move on inexpensively if needed. The offense runs Kyle Shanahan's system, where Willis has prior familiarity from Green Bay. However, the receiving corps has been depleted: Tyreek Hill was released, Jaylen Waddle was traded to Denver, and Minkah Fitzpatrick went to the Jets. De'Von Achane is the primary returning weapon. The Dolphins drafted five rookie pass-catchers (WRs Chris Bell, Caleb Douglas, Kevin Coleman; TEs Will Kacmarek, Seydou Traore) to provide depth. Willis's ceiling depends on how quickly he clicks with the Shanahan-system concepts; his floor is limited by sparse receiving talent.

The Dolphins landed the league's second-toughest strength of schedule in 2026. Key home opponents include KC, NE, DET, CHI, and BUF—facing elite defenses and talented QBs like Mahomes, Maye, Goff, Williams, and Allen. HC Hafley is tempering expectations, emphasizing culture-building over playoff hopes. (per [[Miami Dolphins drop 2026 schedule. See Malik Willis at Hard Rock Stadium]])
