OutlookThe Dolphins have to be better than last year but that isn't saying much. They lack a lot at receiver for what should be a pass-first team, so that is a concern. And the quarterback situation is a little muddled with three guys competing for the job. The defense has some holes, especially against the pass. If the pass defense doesn't get much better, the Dolphins could be in for another long season. |
|
Matt Moore, QB. We know the Dolphins drafted Ryan Tannehill to become the starter in Miami but he likely is a year or two away from claiming that job. Moore should be the starter this season. And Moore produced some big games in a starting role last year, so he proved he can help fantasy teams. He moves to a much more pass-friendly system this year and could be more consistent in a starting role for fantasy teams. He can have a big season in this offense, making him worth using for some spot starts for fantasy teams. |
|
Reggie Bush, RB. Bush had his first 1,000-yard season last year but he'll have a very hard time reaching that this year. Expect Daniel Thomas to get more carries at running back. Plus, the Dolphins will be a lot more pass first in their new offense. This could lead to more receptions for Bush, but his carries are going to be down from last year. Don't draft him based off his numbers from last season. He isn't going to match those in 2012. |
