Miami's right side is in flux as Austin Jackson lands on IR and James Daniels joins him, forcing a reshaped O-line for at least four games. Borom steps in at right tackle with Kion Smith sliding to right guard; Strange, Brunskill or Lamm may inherit later opportunities. Waller remains in the lineup with a two-TE look, and Wilson Jr. plus Patterson get practice-squad elevations to stay ready. Cornell Armstrong moves up to fifth cornerback as Bonner sits, while Wright is doubtful and Waller stays active.

Depth and tempo become the x-factors: the Dolphins will lean on internal depth, situational protection schemes, and occasional run-game adjustments against a brutal early schedule (Patriots, Bills, Jets, Panthers). The earliest Jackson or Daniels could return is Week 6 vs Chargers, giving Miami a light at the end of the tunnel as Eichenberg works off PUP. Fantasy angles hinge on who seizes the opportunistic reps along the line and how the TE and RB options are deployed in the shift.

Week 2 fantasy rankings and injury updates drive start/sit decisions in PPR leagues. Christian McCaffrey is cleared for Week 2, while Brock Purdy is out, shifting SF’s offensive plan. Darren Waller is ruled out for the Giants, narrowing Giants’ passing targets. Drake London projects as a low-end WR1 with upside, and Dallas Goedert is sidelined, impacting Eagles’ tight-end run. Top-tier players remain front-and-center: McCaffrey, Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, CeeDee Lamb, Ja’Marr Chase, and Justin Jefferson, with Ridley, Evans, and Walker as reliable mid-to-high-floor options.
