Mike Gesicki Might Get Off To Slow Start
Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki became a key part to this offensive unit last season. He finished with 53 catches for 703 yards and six touchdowns, which were all career highs. However, the Dolphins did add on offense with Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller. Possibly, Gesicki gets less targets in 2021, but he should […]
Jaylen Waddle Gets Tough Matchup For NFL Debut
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is expected to be an impact player for this offense in 2021. He was taken as the sixth overall pick during this year's draft.

Tua Tagovailoa Has Tough Challenge In Week 1
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa looked much improved during the preseason. He seemed comfortable in the pocket and was actually throwing an accurate deep ball to his wideouts. He'll certainly need to set up after having only three multiple touchdown games last season. His first assignment is going to be a tough challenge against the […]
