ProFootballTalk ranks Miami Dolphins bottom five in 2026 power rankings

Summary

The Miami Dolphins open the 2026 NFL season at 28th overall in the ProFootballTalk Week One power rankings. The team begins its campaign under head coach Jeff Hafley following a period of significant roster turnover that has left team identity uncertain. Miami currently sits ahead of only the Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders, and New York Jets in the outlet's rankings. The team faces immediate scrutiny regarding the roster's potential performance as the coaching staff begins its first season. The squad travels to face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week One to test these projections on the field. Malik Willis and De’Von Achane are expected to lead the offensive effort as the Dolphins look to improve their standing in next week’s rankings.
