It’s time we readdress a question that we’ve been asking all season long: what should we do with the Dolphins’ offense?
This week, however, we look at the question from a more positive outlook. When Tua Tagovailoa was out, the entire offense was unusable. When Tua returned, De’Von Achane was the only reliable option. Now, in Week 12, the entire Dolphins offense finally looked like a cohesive and coherent unit poised for the fantasy upside we’d hoped for heading into the season.
Is it too little too late though?
Heading into the season, the Dolphins late-season schedule was a major concern for me:

It was a daunting schedule … in theory. However, moving forward, it now looks intriguing.
Green Bay had a known issue in defending the run but they’ve held up fairly well, almost dead center in average points to opposing running backs. They’ve been stout against opposing quarterbacks, allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and the 10th fewest to receivers. Oddly enough, Green Bay might be the most difficult matchup for Tagovailoa.
The Jets defense has been reeling and is vulnerable to all positions since the firing of Robert Saleh. The Texans can’t seem to pick a lane and decide if they are good or bad on defense. The 49ers have been hit with a wave of injuries. The Browns are in a tailspin and their only advantage is playing in Cleveland.
With this new perspective of the rest-of-season schedule in mind, and finally seeing a strong overall offensive performance, let’s talk about what we can expect from our key Dolphins’ fantasy assets moving forward — and who we can trust.
