2018 Season NFL Preview : AFC East

Philadelphia Eagles v New England Patriots
Tom Brady

Miami Dolphins

Tampa Bay Buccaneers v Miami Dolphins
Ryan Tannehill

The Miami Dolphins are the team you don't know what your getting. Ryan Tannehill is back from injury, but is he the right quarterback for this team? Tannehill is a not great quarterback, but he isn't a bad one either. The Dolphins have added some beef with Robert Quinn coming over and joining Cameron Wake on defence. Dolphins still have some decent playmakers in Kenny Stills and Kenyon Drake. The team that might struggle to find it's identity and take the whole season to figure it out.

Strengths: Secondary rookie Minkah Fitzpatrick will help the secondary right away. Fitzpatrick's addition will have a massive impact on the Dolphins. On offence rookie, Matt Gesicki could become Tannehill's security blanket at tight end. Finally, the front four lead by Wake and Quinn should be decent.

Weakness: Tight end is weak for the Dolphins because after rookie Matt Gesicki there isn't much on the shelf. Dolphins would be wise to carry a veteran tight end that has played at a high level. Veteran Kiko Alonzo is a solid linebacker, but the rest of the linebackers on the Dolphins are not close to the pedigree of the division. The Dolphins special teams are relying on a rookie kicker and a 2nd-year punter.

Players to Watch: Minkah Fitzpatrick (S), Matt Gesicki (TE), Kenyon Drake (RB), and Stephone Anthony (LB)
