QUARTERBACKS
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tua Tagovailoa | 360.9 | 225.6 | 2544.3 | 15.34 | 9.92 | 33.7 | 138.2 | 1.01 | 163.17 | |
| While a redshirt season may make sense given his injury history, head coach Brian Flores has said that there will be a competition at quarterback and hasn't ruled out Tagovailoa from starting as early as Week 1. Given the lack of preseason games, however, it would make sense for Fitzpatrick to be (at least) the early-season starter. | ||||||||||
| Ryan Fitzpatrick | 216.5 | 134.8 | 1515.5 | 9.31 | 6.5 | 20.2 | 90.9 | 0.86 | 99.11 | |
| Reunited with offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, Fitzpatrick was the QB18, QB12 and QB20, respectively, in the three years (2010-12) the duo spent together in Buffalo. That said, it's possible that Miami hands the keys of the franchise to fifth-pick Tua Tagovailoa sooner rather than later. | ||||||||||
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matt Breida | 121.5 | 552.8 | 2.43 | 41.2 | 348.1 | 2.16 | 117.63 | |
| Breida was the odd-man out in San Francisco's backfield down the stretch and he moves to a situation where he has a legitimate shot to lead Miami's backfield in usage and production. The former UDFA has averaged 5.0 yards per carry and 8.4 yards per reception over his first three NFL seasons. While Miami had the league's worst offensive line last year, they made numerous investments -- via the draft and free agency -- to upgrade the unit. | ||||||||
| Jordan Howard | 158.1 | 656.1 | 5.3 | 14.3 | 102.2 | 0.29 | 109.37 | |
| A shoulder injury cut Howard's lone season in Philly short, but he is healthy now. While he won't make much of an impact in the passing game, Howard is an early-down complement to Breida that should also lead the team in rushing touchdowns. | ||||||||
| Patrick Laird | 28.9 | 108.4 | 0.51 | 26.3 | 220.9 | 1.18 | 43.07 | |
| Kalen Ballage | 9.6 | 30.7 | 0.24 | 6.6 | 34.7 | 0.15 | 8.88 | |
| Malcolm Perry | 5.8 | 23.8 | 0.06 | 6.3 | 43.8 | 0.13 | 7.9 | |

WIDE RECEIVERS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DeVante Parker | 70.1 | 984.9 | 5.26 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 130.05 | |
| It was the unconvential fifth-year breakout for Parker, who shattered previous career highs with 72 catches on 128 targets for 1,202 yards and nine touchdowns. Over the final eight games with UDFA Preston Williams sidelined, Parker was at his best -- 44/802/5 on 76 targets in eight games without Williams; 28/400/4 on 52 targets with him. Given the opt outs of the 2020 NFL season by Albert Wilson and Allen Hurns, the duo of Parker and Williams may see an even larger target share with Wilson and Hurns sitting 2020 out. | ||||||||
| Preston Williams | 60 | 789 | 4.95 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 108.6 | |
| The Dolphins made a number of roster improvements through free agency and the draft, but there were no significant additions in terms of pass-catchers. In fact, the group is worse off with Wilson and Hurns opting out. More talented (four-star high school recruit) than his UDFA status (due to off-field reasons) would imply, Williams made an immediate impact for the Dolphins with 32/428/3 in eight games before tearing his ACL. Expected to be ready for Week 1, Williams should pick up where he left off in year two. | ||||||||
| Jakeem Grant | 12.8 | 156.8 | 0.93 | 3.9 | 10.9 | 0.1 | 22.95 | |
| Chester Rogers | 16 | 176.8 | 0.72 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 22 | |
| Isaiah Ford | 12 | 129 | 0.48 | 3.9 | 15.6 | 0.08 | 17.82 | |
| Gary Jennings | 6.8 | 84.7 | 0.51 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 11.53 | |
| Kirk Merritt | 5 | 76.3 | 0.45 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 10.33 | |
TIGHT ENDS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mike Gesicki | 58 | 646.7 | 5.22 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 95.99 | |
| Gesicki is athletic freak -- 4.54 forty and 41.5" vertical -- at tight end and he had a breakout second season, aided by additional opportunities with the season-ending injury to UDFA receiver Preston Williams. Gesicki had five-plus targets in all eight games without Williams but only five-plus in just three of eight with him. More big slot than tight end, Gesicki finished his sophomore campaign as fantasy's TE11. Especially considering the team's WR3/WR4 are sitting 2020 out, Gesicki has the potential to take another significant step forward in year three. | ||||||||
| Adam Shaheen | 9.8 | 93.1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 15.31 | |
| Durham Smythe | 8.3 | 73 | 0.91 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 12.76 | |
| Michael Roberts | 2.8 | 31.1 | 0.29 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4.85 | |
