Miami faces a Week 1 injury cloud as De'Von Achane and Tyreek Hill carry health questions into the season opener with the Colts. Darren Waller's hip setback looms large for the Miami offense, potentially elevating TE options Julian Hill or Tanner Conner if he’s sidelined. Waller’s status, plus Bonner and Wright missing practice, tightens the Dolphins’ depth and could shape target distribution in fantasy lineups. Expect Hill to anchor the aerial attack, with backfield and tight end allocations in flux until Sunday.

Injuries at receiver and the unsettled TE rotation heighten volatility for fantasy managers targeting Miami. If Waller plays, his hip risk remains the swing factor; if not, Hill’s volume may rise while Conner and Hill become more relevant DFS plays. The Dolphins’ Week 1 plan will test depth elsewhere and could redefine early-season usage for Achane, Bonner, and the rookie Wright, all against Indianapolis.

DeShon Elliott’s sharp take on Miami’s culture underscores a preseason spotlight on Dolphins leadership and discipline, while the Steelers added Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith in a blockbuster move that gut-checks Pittsburgh’s locker-room dynamic. Minkah Fitzpatrick returning to Miami frames a broader culture debate across rosters as Mike McDaniel tightens sideline conduct and Tanner Conner notes a sharper organizational buy-in from the Dolphins.
