Miami starts 2025 with big playmaking but health risk. Tyreek Hill drives the offense and is motivated by a contract deadline rather than captain status, while rookie Jason Marshall Jr. tests the nickel role to boost the secondary. Off the field, OLBs coach Ryan Crow is arrested and placed on leave, adding depth questions to the defense as Mike McDaniel preaches a hotter mindset. Week 1 against the Colts looms as a real test for pace, health, and leadership across the squad.

Fantasy angles center on Hill as the top target with high ceiling even in a shaken depth chart. Marshall Jr. at nickel could unlock more aggressive cover schemes if he shines, while Crow's absence may shift LB rotations. The Dolphins enter a season where captains were named and the offense still looks to outpace injuries, with Week 1 shaping early expectations for both offense pace and defensive resistance against Indianapolis.
