Malik Willis, Malik Willis' Elite Rushing Potential Makes Him Top Upside Play at the Position
Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis is a redraft riser after signing a three-year, $67.5 million contract and taking over as the team's starting quarterback. In his two seasons with Green Bay, he completed 78.7% of his passes for 976 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions, while adding 261 rushing yards and three touchdowns in 11 games. The problem is the passing environment. Miami traded Jaylen Waddle and released Tyreek Hill, leaving Willis with an inexperienced group led by Malik Washington and several young receivers. The Dolphins did add Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman Jr. in the draft, so there are more options than Willis had earlier in the offseason. However, his legs remain the biggest reason to draft him. In his two outings for the Packers last season (where he logged more than 40 offensive snaps), he averaged 52.0 rushing yards per game and punched in two rushing scores. Rushing yards and touchdowns can keep his weekly totals competitive even when the passing game struggles. Willis makes more sense as a late QB2 with upside in one-quarterback leagues and has considerably more value in superflex formats.

De'Von Achane, De'Von Achane Sits Out of Saturday's Preseason Contest
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane and quarterback Malik Willis were both in street clothes for the team's second preseason game on Saturday against the New York Giants, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. In the 26-3 loss to the G-Men, Jaylen Wright led Miami with six carries, but he gained just nine yards on the ground, while Ollie Gordon II had four carries for only eight yards. Cam Miller led the team in rushing with 18 yards on his two carries. The 24-year-old Achane was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2025 in his third year in the NFL, and he also recorded his first 1,000-yard rushing season. Achane had 1,350 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns on 238 carries while adding 67 receptions (85 targets) for 488 yards and another four TDs as a pass-catcher in 16 starts to finish as the RB6 in half-PPR scoring. He led the league with 5.7 yards per carry, and although volume should not be a problem in 2026, his efficiency could be in an offense expected to struggle with little aerial help for Willis. RotoBaller has Achane ranked as the No. 12 overall fantasy RB as he enters his fourth year in the NFL.

Caleb Douglas, Caleb Douglas Sits Against Giants, Further Cementing Role in Dolphins' Offense
Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas did not see any game action in the Dolphins' 26-3 preseason loss to the New York Giants. With no reported injuries or soreness, Douglas likely sat due to his standing in the Dolphins' starting offense. The third-round pick has spent most of training camp and the preseason with the first-team offense, was listed as a starter on the unofficial depth chart, and is now too important to risk in a preseason game. Miami's receiver room remains lackluster, with Malik Washington and third-round pick Chris Bell expected to operate alongside Douglas. However, it appears the former Texas Tech receiver is an integral piece of this offense and should be considered in the late rounds of fantasy drafts.

De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright Emerging as Backup Behind De'Von Achane
Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright is emerging as the team's handcuff after starting over Ollie Gordon II in the 26-3 preseason loss to the New York Giants. Despite an inefficient outing, Wright played on all the snaps during the team's opening drive and on 12 of the first 16, while Gordon played afterward. Gordon also suffered an injury late in the game, holding his midsection after a hard hit on a short carry. While both backs are expected to operate behind star running back De'Von Achane, Wright appears to be in line for the backup role behind Achane. Currently ranked RB76 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Wright could be a late-round dart throw as a handcuff running back this season.

Greg Dulcich, Greg Dulcich Worth Another Look in Redraft
Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich has enough going his way to be worth another look in redraft leagues. He was quiet for most of 2025, then finally found something late. Over Miami's last five games, Dulcich caught 16 of 18 targets for 222 yards and a touchdown. The Dolphins brought him back in March, and he entered camp leading a rebuilt tight end room. There is more room for targets now, too. Tyreek Hill was released in February and Jaylen Waddle was traded to Denver a month later, leaving Miami without either of its top veteran wideouts from last season. Dulcich has stayed involved with Malik Willis, including a 30-yard completion during practice on August 17. It is not a completely clean setup. Miami used a third-round pick on Will Kacmarek, and Dulcich has never played more than 10 games in an NFL season. Still, the late-2025 production was real and the path to touches is better than it was a year ago. RotoBaller has Dulcich at TE26 and 211th overall in its latest PPR rankings. If you wait on tight end, he is at least worth a swing that late.
