Coaching Matters: 2022 Miami Dolphins Coaching Staff Preview

Jaylen Waddle - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

After every NFL season, NFL teams take the time to evaluate not only the players but also the coaching staff and front office as well. While many teams choose to retain the same head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator, a few other teams opt to go in a new direction with their coaching staff.

The Miami Dolphins will make some changes to their coaching staff in 2022 as they move on from former head coach Brian Flores and former co-offensive coordinator George Godsey, as well as move former co-offensive coordinator Eric Studesville to an associate head coach/running backs coaching role. The new head coach will be former San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel and the new offensive coordinator will be former Los Angeles Chargers offensive line coach Frank Smith. Defensive coordinator Josh Boyer will remain from the previous coaching regime and once again serve as the team's defensive coordinator in 2022.

This article will look at the potential impact this coaching staff will have on the players and try to pinpoint the Dolphins players' fantasy values in it.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

Previous Coaching Staff

In order to get an understanding of how the Dolphins' fantasy players may be impacted this year, we also need to take a look at some of the previous coaching staff members: former head coach Brian Flores and former co-offensive coordinator George Godsey. By doing this, we will have a better understanding of where the new coaches are starting from and where the primary changes will occur.

Former Head Coach: Brian Flores

The Miami Dolphins decided to fire head coach Brian Flores this offseason after three seasons as the team's head coach. Prior to becoming the Miami Dolphins head coach in 2019, he spent 15 years working in a variety of roles (primarily on the defensive side of the ball) for the New England Patriots. Because of his defensive background, let's take a look at some of the Dolphins' defensive statistics during Brian Flores's three seasons as the head coach.

2022 Offense

2022 Head Coach: Mike McDaniel

The Miami Dolphins' new head coach in 2022 is Mike McDaniel. McDaniel has been described as an offensive mastermind in the past and served as the San Francisco 49ers' offensive coordinator (2021) prior to taking on the Dolphins' job. Because of his offensive background, let's take a look at some of his previous team's offensive statistics during his time as an offensive coordinator or head coach.

Mike McDaniel Takeaways & Expectations

The Miami Dolphins will move away from the co-offensive coordinator system they had in 2022 and instead have new head coach Mike McDaniel call the plays. McDaniel only has one season in an offensive coordinator or head coaching role under his belt, but we'll examine that season working with 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan to see if we can at the very least get baseline expectations for the Dolphins offense in 2022.

In McDaniel's one year as an offensive coordinator, his offense averaged 30.24 passing attempts, 261 passing yards, and 1.53 passing touchdowns per game. This means that if McDaniel takes an approach similar to the one he was a part of in San Francisco, it would mean that the Dolphins would end up averaging fewer passing attempts per game than in 2021 but have better passing efficiency. Clearly, if his offense is similar to Kyle Shanahan's, it is likely that Tua Tagovailoa is utilized as a game manager for the 2022 season.

Besides passing, it's also important to look at the amount of rushing work that a quarterback may receive since it can provide a major boost to their fantasy production.

During the 2021 season with the San Francisco 49ers, McDaniel was a part of a team that saw its quarterback room average 4.47 carries per game. Looking more closely though, it's clear that the team adapted this rushing usage heavily depending on the quarterback that was on the field - Jimmy Garoppolo (2.53 carries per game) or Trey Lance (6.33 carries per game). The Dolphins' starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is somewhere in the middle of these two - more mobile than Jimmy Garoppolo but less mobile than Trey Lance. Because of this, we should expect Tua to once again end up sitting between three to four carries per game. Based on this information, while Tua does have some intriguing weapons on offense, it's more than likely that he's utilized as more of a game manager and finishes as a QB2 in your fantasy leagues.

Moving onto the running back room, it's more of a mixed bag. In the one season that McDaniel has previously worked as an offensive coordinator, his running back room averaged 20.47 carries, 89.59 rushing yards, and 0.53 rushing touchdowns per game.

It's only one season, but this usage was slightly below the league averages from the 2021 season. Considering the Dolphins don't have the most talented running back room, there's a very good chance that these numbers are average or slightly below average for the 2022 season and could put a cap on the fantasy upside of the Dolphins' running backs - Sony Michel, Raheem Mostert, Myles Gaskin, and Chase Edmonds.

But besides the amount of volume (carries) on the ground that McDaniel may provide, we also need to consider how that volume may be distributed by looking at the numbers over the course of his career - will McDaniel most likely want to roll with a bell-cow approach or commit to a running back by committee?

During his time as the offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers, McDaniel saw his team give 59.5% of the team's season running back carries to its lead back - Elijah Mitchell. Given the Miami Dolphins' crowded running back room, it's likely that McDaniel takes more of a running back by committee approach on the ground with Chase Edmonds, Sony Michel, Raheem Mostert, and Myles Gaskin in 2022.

The final aspect we should look at regarding Mike McDaniel's running backs is how much he has traditionally utilized them as pass-catchers. Over the course of his 17-game career, McDaniel's running back room has averaged 3.59 targets per game - which is below the NFL league average (6.22 in 2021).

While it's only one season, this low-level usage in the passing game is concerning - particularly if you plan on rostering the team's primary pass-catching back. Overall, this backfield will have a hard time producing a back that will be anything more than a FLEX play and there may be some frustration figuring out which one will lead the committee in 2022.

Jumping to the wide receiver position, McDaniel has seen his wide receivers receive 17.18 targets per game over the course of his 17 games as an offensive coordinator.

There are two things to remember when looking at this data. First, the data is just from one season where McDaniel wasn't the primary play-caller on gameday. Second, the 49ers as a whole didn't average a lot of passing attempts so if the number of passing attempts ends up being higher with the Dolphins, it will naturally increase the number of wide receiver targets per game. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are likely to still get decent workloads given their talent but from a fantasy perspective they could end up being a tad overvalued going into draft season.

Last but not least, Mike McDaniel's tight end room. Over the course of his career as an offensive coordinator, McDaniel's tight end room has averaged 6.18 targets per game.

Much like his wide receiver usage, it's more difficult to get a good read on any tendencies that McDaniel may have in utilizing the tight end position due to his short track record. But based on the little we do know about McDaniel as well as what we know about the Miami Dolphins roster, it appears that Mike Gesicki should once again be in the TE1 discussion for the 2022 season.

2022 Offensive Coordinator: Frank Smith

Frank Smith hasn't been an offensive coordinator or head coach at the NFL level prior to this season, but he has spent three seasons as an offensive coordinator at the college level for the Butler Bulldogs (2007-2009). Below are statistics from Smith's time coaching at the college level.

Frank Smith Takeaways & Expectations

Two things to remember before we dive too far into Frank Smith's coaching profile. Firstly, the college level and the NFL level are very different in what works and what doesn't work so some of these statistics might not translate. Secondly, Frank Smith is not expected to be the primary play-caller of the team - that would be head coach Mike McDaniel. But despite this, we'll still take a brief look at Smith's college play-calling profile just in case he takes over play-calling duties at any point during the 2022 season.

Much like McDaniel's offense at the NFL level with the San Francisco 49ers, Frank Smith's college offenses with the Butler Bulldogs tended to lean more on the run game while his passers would only throw around 32 times per game (32.91 career average). In addition, Smith's quarterbacks at Butler did run a little bit in 2008 and 2009, so if Tua feels confident in his legs and he takes over play-calling, we could see a slight increase in rushing attempts this year from the Dolphins quarterbacks.

As we alluded to in the earlier section, Frank Smith frequently utilized the running game during his time as Butler's offensive coordinator as his running back room averaged 24.97 carries per game over the course of 33 games.

While the college game is very different from the NFL, this average is encouraging to see if you plan on rostering a Miami Dolphin running back because it means that Smith isn't averse to utilizing them on the ground. Through the air, it's a little bit of a different story. Over the course of Frank Smith's 33-game career as a college offensive coordinator, his running back room was barely utilized in the passing game - averaging just 2.70 receptions, 16.18 receiving yards, and 0.06 receiving touchdowns per game.

Overall, while he's only coached only at the college level thus far, his running back usage seems pretty similar to the usage of Kyle Shanahan's offense that Mike McDaniel has spent so much time working with - a decent amount of carries, but a subpar amount of receiving work.

Moving onto the wide receiver room, Frank Smith's wide receivers at Butler put up solid production - averaging 15.91 receptions, 175.94 receiving yards, and 1.33 receiving touchdowns per game over the course of 33 college games. Hopefully, Smith can collaborate with McDaniel and figure out the best ways to maximize the potential of Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and the rest of the Miami Dolphins wide receiver room.

Lastly, Frank Smith's tight ends didn't do much during his college career, averaging just 1.18 receptions, 10.76 receiving yards, and 0.12 receiving touchdowns per game. At first look, these numbers might be worrisome. But it's important to remember that at the college level, a good chunk of the tight ends do not have the receiving talent to justify frequently featuring them in the passing game and are asked just to block. For that reason, while the numbers may not look great, it doesn't make a lot of sense to put much stock into them right now.

Fantasy Relevant Players: Tua Tagovailoa, Teddy Bridgewater, Chris Streveler, Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert, Sony Michel, Myles Gaskin, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Cedrick Wilson, Preston Williams, Trent Sherfield, Lynn Bowden Jr., Erik Ezukanma, Mike Gesicki, Durham Smythe, and Adam Shaheen.
