Miami drops to 1-5 after a 29-27 loss to the Chargers, spotlighting a locker-room rift that Tua Tagovailoa says undermines leadership and preparation. Players reportedly skipping or arriving late to players-only meetings heighten concerns about accountability and discipline as the season spirals.

The captaincy saga adds fuel: Tyreek Hill was left out of the six-man group, hinting at tensions after Hill’s comments about possibly leaving. With McDaniel under scrutiny and a string of losses to start the year, the Dolphins face a fragile culture ahead of a tough schedule, even as a Week 4 win over the Jets provides a brief lift. Fantasy angles hinge on whether leadership issues blunt the offense or simply create volatility in target shares and game flow.
