The article projects which teams will finish last in each NFL division for 2026, highlighting the Miami Dolphins’ roster moves and potential tanking strategy
Sleeper status change for Tyreek Hill (3321). Before: status=Active, injury_status=Questionable. After: status=Active, injury_status=Out
The Miami Dolphins close the 2026 preseason by hosting Tua Tagovailoa and the Atlanta Falcons. We have everything you need to watch the game
Even in an NFL where the run game has been resurgent in recent seasons, the passing game is still king. After all, the reason we've seen teams lean more into the run of late is because defenses have prioritized taking away explosive passes. They are more content to let offenses try to beat them with the body blows of a series of runs, betting they can't do it without making mistakes before they reach the end zone. Because the NFL is still a passing league, wide receivers have never been more important. We've seen evidence of that in recent offseasons, as the financial market for wideouts has exploded and now tops $40 million per year. Of course, you can't just get away with having one good wide receiver. You need to build a receiver room that can threaten defenses in a variety of ways -- at least, if you want to have a really good offense. And with that in mind, we set out to rank the league's receiver rooms from worst to best: This one is fairly obvious. After moving on from Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle , the Dolphins have the most barren wide receiver room in the league. There are hopes for rookies Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell , the latter of whom is coming off a major injury, but there's nothing we can count on here. The Raiders are lucky the Dolphins exist. The top options in this room are Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor , along with potentially Jack Bech and rookie Malik Benson . It's not an inspiring group. This might be too low for the Browns, but with such an unproven room, it was hard to push them any higher. KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston could make this ranking look silly if they get off to fast starts to their respective careers. With Rashee Rice still looking hobbled after rehabbing his knee injury in jail and Xavier Worthy again banged up in camp, the Chiefs might be counting on training-camp star Cyrus Allen to be a real factor, rather than a mere curiosity. That's a dangerous game to play. Tennessee had arguably the worst receiver room in the NFL last season and upgraded with Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson , but the depth is still questionable. Thirty-two-year-old Calvin Ridley is looking like the No. 3, while Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike are up next. There doesn't appear to be a true game-changing talent among the group. If Alec Pierce were definitively healthy rather than merely working his way back from offseason ankle surgery -- and therefore in question for Week 1 and perhaps beyond -- the Colts would probably rank higher. He's a good player, as is Josh Downs . But the depth beyond them, even with Keenan Allen in the fold, is still questionable. The Bills brought in DJ Moore to be their No. 1 wideout this year. He took a step back last season in Chicago and is now trying to recapture the form he had a few years ago. Khalil Shakir is a slot slot/gadget option. But the room beyond those players ( Josh Palmer , Keon Coleman , Skyler Bell ) is uninspiring. If Jordyn Tyson were healthy, the Saints would definitely rank higher, especially given how good Tyson looked during training camp. As is, though, you have to knock New Orleans because outside of Chris Olave , there is nobody on the depth chart that really scares you -- even if DeVaughn Vele had a solid stretch to end last season. Malik Nabers is working his way back from a serious knee injury. He seems on his way to full health, but we obviously can't know for sure until we see him on the field. Beyond him, the depth chart looks like it's clearing out for rookie Malachi Fields , because Darius Slayton and Darnell Mooney are role players and Calvin Austin III just tore up his knee. Garrett Wilson is awesome. Adonai Mitchell is somewhat tantalizing. Omar Cooper Jr . is apparently working his way up the depth chart after seeming like he may have been behind return specialist Isaiah Williams early in the preseason. If Mitchell taps into his talent and Cooper hits the ground running, the Jets could be better than expected. Terry McLaurin is a b [... truncated ...]
Tyreek Hill's next team odds are affected by his knee rehab update and potential retirement

Malik Willis' rushing potential makes him a top upside play at the position
Tyreek Hill became a free agent Feb. 16 when the Dolphins released him. The star wide receiver continues to rehab from a dislocated knee and multiple torn ligaments, including his ACL, in a Sept. 29 game against the Jets. He is not ready to return yet, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Friday on The Pat McAfee Show. “I don’t expect Tyreek to sign before the season,” Rosenhaus said. “He sent me video yesterday . . . of him running hills, and he looked great. I said to him, ‘You look great.’ He said to me, ‘I still have some work to do. I’m not ready yet.’ “I am not pressuring Tyreek. Nor am I setting a timeline for him. I think that what I have said to Tyreek is, ‘Take your time. It’s not when you come back. It’s how you come back. We want you to come back when you feel your best. There’s no sense of urgency timing wise. I think this is a future Hall of Famer who still has a lot of good football left in him. This was a devastating injury, but everyone’s going to be so impressed when they see how well Tyreek has rehabbed. It’s not hyperbole for me to predict that he will play this season. When I’m not sure, but I do think when he does sign, he will be a coveted player. He’ll be the kind of guy that will impact the playoff race and will certainly be successful when he signs.” Hill said in a video he posted to social media on July 22 that he still has no power in his left leg after two surgeries. He made 21 catches for 265 yards with one touchdown last season
Tyreek Hill is not expected to sign with a team before the 2026 season begins as he continues to recover from a major knee injury sustained in Week 4 last season. However, his agent indicated that Hill is progressing well in his rehab and could draw interest from playoff contenders later in the season
Hill's (knee) agent, Drew Rosenahus, said Friday that he doesn't expect the wide receiver to sign with a team before the start of the regular season, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Hill "still feels he has a long way to go" in his recovery from a dislocated left knee and multiple torn ligaments, according to Rosenahus. The veteran wideout said last month that he's still struggling to regain explosiveness in his left leg after multiple surgeries. He's vowed to continue his playing career, but it's unclear when Hill will be back to 100 percent, or whatever his new 100 percent is at 32 years old coming off a catastrophic knee injury

Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice had an unexpected 30-day offseason jail stint, due to a positive THC test while on probation for felony charges arising from a 2024 street-racing incident. The timing, which is never really ideal, became especially problematic because it kept Rice away from the team during the offseason program. At first, he was unable to engage in rehab after a recent knee surgery. (He later got permission to leave the jail for the treatment he needed.) He spoke to reporters on Tuesday for the first time since his incarceration. “It was a learning experience and a reality check ,” Rice said, via Nate Taylor of ESPN. “Don’t focus on the past. Focus on what’s going on now. I’m doing [well] mentally. “It was mentally tough. They gave me ways to communicate with my teammates still and as well as my athletic trainer. Besides the hard times in there, I kept my mind right watching shows and as much Kevin Hart as I could to laugh.” There’s nothing to laugh about now when it comes to Rice’s NFL career. It’s a pivotal season, the last one of his rookie contract. He’ll make a mere $1.56 million, and the Chiefs have shown no inclination to sign him to a new contract. He got off to a great start as a rookie in 2023. Appearing in 16 games with eight starts — and taking only 58 percent of the snaps in the games he played — Rice still generated 938 receiving yards. He learned the offense faster than Tyreek Hill did. By the playoffs of Rice’s first year, it was clicking. He had 262 receiving yards on 26 catches in four postseason games. Then came the high-speed misadventures in Dallas. Then came the regular season, with a Week 4 knee injury that wiped out the rest of his second season. Last year started with a six-game suspension. This year begins with a largely clean slate. He now needs to show what he can do, in order to get the contract he thought he’d have by now. There’s no guarantee he’ll get it. With the franchise tag for receivers well below the current market, the Chiefs may decide to use the device to hold him in place for 2027 before making a long-term commitment. It would give them two full years to see whether he truly has learned the lessons flowing from the off-field misconduct
The Miami Dolphins might end up having one of the most predictable offenses in the NFL this year, and they're completely fine with that. When it comes to their game plan, it seems Miami will be looking to get the ball into De'Von Achane's hands as often as possible. Of course, that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. When it comes to the offense, the Dolphins basically decided to blow things up and start over this offseason. Not only did they cut Tyreek Hill and Tua Tagovailoa , but they also traded Jaylen Waddle to the Broncos . They have a new quarterback ( Malik Willis ), and he'll be throwing the ball to a group of pass-catchers that includes two rookie receivers ( Caleb Douglas , Chris Bell ) and two rookie tight ends ( Will Kacmarek , Seydou Traore ). There are so many new pass-catchers that Achane is the only returning player from last season who finished with more than 350 receiving yards. Based on how things are shaking out, Achane, who ranked fifth in the NFL with 1,350 rushing yards last year, might be the team's best receiving weapon going into 2026. Because of that, he's expected to get a lot of touches. So how many touches is a lot? New Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley has been throwing out some big numbers. During a Monday interview with Rich Eisen, Hafley was asked what Achane's workload would look like this year, and based on his answer, it's pretty clear the Dolphins offense will rely heavily on the 24-year-old speedster. "I just gave Achane a heads-up this morning and I told him, 'You better be in good shape,'" Hafley said. "I told him there might be some games when I have to pick him up and carry him back to the locker room because he's going to be so tired." The reason Achane has to be in good shape is that Hafley doesn't want his star running back asking for a breather if they need him on the field. "I told him I don't ever want to see one of these head taps all year, and he looked me right in the eye and he said, 'You'll never get that head tap from me,'" Hafley said. "I said, 'Don't worry buddy. After you touch the ball 40-45 times, I might have to pick you up and carry you back into the locker room.'" If Achane does get the ball 40 to 45 times in a game, that would put him in record-setting territory. Over the past 10 years, there have only been FOUR instances where a player touched the ball at least 40 times in a game: Almost every NFL team has moved to a running back-by-committee approach, which is why getting to 40 touches is now so rare. As you can see, Henry is the only player in the NFL who has hit the 40-touch mark over the past five seasons, but Achane could certainly get there at some point this year with the Dolphins offense expected to revolve around him. "He's really a smart football player and it's fun to go back and forth with him and he's got this fun energy about him," Hafley said. "I think he's a stud." If Hafley is serious about the possibility of Achane getting 40 to 45 touches in a game or two, that could put the running back in line to break the single-game record for touches. James Wilder (1983) and LaDainian Tomlinson (2002) are currently tied for the all-time mark in that category, with each recording 48 touches in one game. During the 2025 season, Achane had eight games with at least 20 touches, and it wouldn't be surprising at all if that number goes up. Hafley arrived in Miami from Green Bay, which is notable because the Packers were one of five teams in the NFL last season that had more rushing attempts than passing attempts. It wouldn't be surprising if Hafley decides to embrace that philosophy now that he's in Miami. New offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik will bring his own philosophy, and Hafley will likely tell him to make sure it involves giving the ball to Achane. The most touches Achane has ever had in a game is 29, which came in 2024. If Achane can average 29 touches per game this year, he would end up with 493, which would be the NFL record for most touc [... truncated ...]
Former Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is not expected to be ready for Week 1 as he prepares for his comeback after a gruesome knee injury. After five straight 1,000-yard seasons, Hill suffered a knee dislocation in Week 4 that involved multiple torn ligaments. In a training video, Hill said he has "no power" in his left leg as he continues to deal with the repercussions of a significant knee injury. At this point, Hill is unlikely to be on a roster by the start of the season, so a midseason signing with a contender makes the most sense. The Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, or a team with a major injury in its receiving room could call for Hill. Either way, the former superstar receiver could be a good stash in 2026 in deeper leagues
