In what was his first competitive work against another team since taking over as the starting quarterback of the Miami Dolphins, Malik Willis showcased some of the highs and lows that fantasy managers will likely need to endure for the 2026 season. In a joint practice with the Commanders on Wednesday, Willis found success, as he has through much of camp, when targeting rookie Caleb Douglas, who was recently named a starter and praised before practice by head coach Jeff Hafley. Willis also threw an interception to Mike Sanristil that was returned for a touchdown. Those types of ups and downs are to be expected from a first-time starter on one of the more talent-depleted offenses in the league, but an area highlighted by team writer Travis Wingfield, and the reason Willis is worthy of a late-round selection in single-quarterback drafts, is his rushing upside. Wingfield notes that Willis broke contain several times and scrambled for what would have been lengthy gains in a real game scenario. Willis provides one of the highest rushing floors in the league, and if he can simply keep things on track offensively while avoiding costly mistakes, he has a chance to far surpass his current ADP of QB21

With Miami Dolphins training camp starting in just about a week and a half, the team is gearing up to return to the practice fields in sunny Miami Gardens. After a flurry of moves this offseason, the organization’s roster looks much different than it has in recent memory. However, the team still has time to put the finishing touches on their facelift ahead of the 2026 NFL season — and Bleacher Report has a couple of ideas as to how the Dolphins could continue to reshape their roster under the watchful eye of new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. Here’s what Moe Moton proposed for Miami. Trade mid-round pick for Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette Based on overall career production, the Dolphins have the worst wide receiver corps. If they want to see quarterback Malik Willis make strides as a first-time, full-time starter, the club should look to bolster its pass-catching group. Miami could inquire about Legette, who may need a change of scenery. Through two seasons, Legette has caught 84 passes for 860 yards and seven touchdowns in 31 contests. As a former first-round pick, he’s underwhelmed, but a new opportunity to be the No. 1 wideout in Miami could lead to increased production. Trade RB Jaylen Wright to Houston Texans for late-round pick The Texans acquired running back David Montgomery from the Detroit Lions to bolster their ground attack. He’s entering his age-29 term after sharing the backfield with Jahmyr Gibbs for three seasons. Houston should add another early-down ball-carrier to split touches with Montgomery. Last season, Woody Marks averaged an inefficient 3.6 yards per carry as the team’s lead rusher. Houston can inquire about Wright, who may be expendable on the Miami Dolphins’ rebuilding squad. He’s in competition with Ollie Gordon II for the No. 2 spot behind De’Von Achane. This move would give the Texans a solid early-down duo while Marks retains a specialist receiving role and adds kick-return duties . ___ If you were the Miami Dolphins’ general manager, would you make these moves conjured up by Moton of Bleacher Report? If not, are there other moves you’d make to bolster Miami’s roster? Let me know in the comments below or on Twitter at @MBrave13. Fins up!
When the Miami Dolphins reconvene for training camp at the end of the month, they will do so with one of the league's most unproven wide receiver rooms, giving third-year veteran Malik Washington a chance to earn an important starting role. Washington caught 46 passes for the Dolphins in 2025, which trails only De'Von Achane among the handful of players still with the team, while free agent acquisitions Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, and Terrace Marshall Jr. combined for only 24 receptions last season. Miami spent three of its 13 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on receivers, but with the headliner of that group, Chris Bell, still recovering from the torn ACL he suffered in his final game with Louisville, some of Washington's stiffest competition for a spot atop the depth chart could come from third-rounder Caleb Douglas and fifth-rounder Kevin Coleman Jr. With a new coaching staff and a new quarterback in Malik Willis, the Dolphins will be rebuilding their offense from scratch. If Washington can earn his way into a featured role, he's a smart bet to outperform his current ADP of WR70, though how much of a difference that will actually mean for fantasy is still up for debate, as Miami projects to have one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the league
Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas has a path to snaps, but that alone does not make him a redraft sleeper. Miami selected him 75th overall after he posted 54 catches for 846 yards and seven touchdowns at Texas Tech, his second straight season with at least 54 receptions and 840 yards. At 6-foot-4 with a 4.39-second 40, Douglas brings a size-speed profile that stands out in an unsettled receiver room. The opportunity is real after the Dolphins released Tyreek Hill and traded Jaylen Waddle. So is the competition. Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, Jalen Reagor, and fellow rookies Chris Bell (knee) and Kevin Coleman Jr. are all fighting for work. Miami is also replacing Tua Tagovailoa after releasing him and signing Malik Willis. Douglas is currently WR107 and 265th overall in RotoBaller's PPR rankings. That is deep-league territory, not a player fantasy managers need to force onto standard rosters. Douglas is worth tracking through training camp, especially if he earns regular outside snaps, but he can stay undrafted in most 12-team leagues for now
Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said Thursday that Wright "has some speed" and looks comfortable this offseason, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. It sounds like Wright is off to a good start under the new coaching staff, competing with Ollie Gordon, Donovan Edwards and others for backup backfield roles behind De'Von Achane. One of the bunch could see a decent number of carries, as the Dolphins presumably won't want the sub-200-pound Achane butting heads between the tackles repeatedly. Wright was billed as a big-play threat rather than a power runner when the Dolphins took him in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but he does have decent size (5-foot-10, 208 pounds) to go with his 4.38 speed (2024 Combine)
Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said running back Jaylen Wright is showing a greater comfort level this season and "has some speed," per David Furones of the Sun Sentinel. Wright missed time early in the 2025 season with a knee injury, but finished the year with 332 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 75 touches across 10 games. As long as star Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains healthy, it will be difficult for Wright to earn enough touches to provide fantasy-relevant production. However, Wright may be on his way to firmly seizing the RB2 role in Miami away from fellow Dolphins back Ollie Gordon II. If Wright emerges as the clear backup to Achane, he would profile as one of the better handcuff running back options for fantasy managers entering 2026
Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright's 2025 season got off to a slow start, as he missed the first six weeks while recovering from a knee injury. However, the 23-year-old was fairly productive in a reserve role upon his return, finishing the year with 332 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 75 touches across 10 games played. Wright's path to regular playing time in Miami is blocked by star Dolphins running back De'Von Achane, whom the team recently signed to a four-year, $68 million extension. Still, Wright passed fellow Dolphins back Ollie Gordon II on the team's depth chart last season and projects to open 2026 as Miami's RB2. If Achane were to suffer an injury, Wright's fantasy value would immediately skyrocket. In dynasty formats, managers should consider buying low on Wright and stashing him in a bench spot for his handcuff appeal
The Miami Dolphins are in search of a running back to add to their roster following the sudden retirement of undrafted free agent Le’Veon Moss just four days following his signing in Miami. Compounding that issue is the shoulder injury starting back De’Von Achane is still rehabbing from — meaning the Dolphins are short on bodies to tote the rock during offseason practices. On Thursday, it was reported that the Dolphins worked out free agent running back Zamir White according to ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler. White was a fourth-round selection of the Las Vegas Raiders during the 2022 NFL Draft and has spent his entire four-year career with the organization. During that time, he amassed 198 rushing attempts for 736 yards (3.7 yards per carry) and two touchdowns. He’s added 25 receptions for 152 receiving yards and 0 scores. White is a 5’11”, 227 lb bowling ball with the nickname “ Zeus .” His former coach, Pete Carroll, has affectionately called him a “ hammer ” when it comes to his playing style. Behind Achane, Miami has Jaylen Wright (5”10”, 208 lb) and Ollie Gordon II (6’2”, 227 lb). If White is signed, he would fit the mold of the physical, power back behind the electric Achane. We will continue to keep you updated on all things Miami Dolphins as the offseason progress
Jaylen Wright's fantasy stock is impacted by De'Von Achane's contract extension
De'Von Achane's extension negatively impacts Ollie Gordon II's dynasty value
Across 10 games in 2025, Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright recorded 332 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 75 touches. Wright got off to a slow start to the year after suffering a leg injury that caused him to miss time. However, he gradually worked his way past fellow Dolphins back Ollie Gordon II on the depth chart and finished the year as Miami's primary RB2 behind De'Von Achane. The Dolphins did not add any notable competition to the running back room in the 2026 draft, but they did add offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor with a first-round pick. As long as Achane is in Miami, Wright's path to consistent fantasy production is largely blocked. Still, Wright offers clear handcuff appeal to fantasy managers heading into 2026, provided he can stay in front of Gordon II on the depth chart
