The Miami Dolphins face a difficult outlook for the 2026 NFL season following an offseason defined by significant roster turnover. Projections from analysts suggest the team could finish with a 2-15 record, which would place them at the bottom of the AFC standings. Much of the skepticism stems from a lack of offensive depth surrounding running back De’Von Achane and uncertainty at the quarterback position. Malik Willis is expected to lead the offense, though his previous inconsistency remains a concern for the coaching staff. While the defense features young talent, gaps along the defensive line and in the secondary persist. If the team concludes the season with such a record, it will likely result in a high selection in the 2027 NFL Draft.
