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.

Trade chatter around Tyreek Hill remains quiet as Miami sources insist no trade talks are ongoing and no team has formally called. Hill’s contract still centers the discussion, with a $15.85 million option bonus already exercised and a $10 million base salary in play. He projects as a high-usage option for Miami even amid off-field scrutiny and noise, especially with an upcoming Week 2 matchup against New England.

Fantasy managers should note Hill’s stability in Miami for the immediate future, but the league investigation into domestic-violence accusations adds risk that could affect availability. A players-only meeting signals accountability and cohesion as the Dolphins navigate the schedule, potentially preserving Hill’s target share and explosive upside in a pass-first offense.
