Need some help/advice!

My league is trying something new this year. Everyone is allowed to keep one player from their draft last year, however you lose the pick for the round before. Technically that player is drafted this year, just the round before. For example, if I took Mike Evans in round 4 last year and want to keep him, he would be my automatic round 3 pick this year. I am having trouble weighing my options as I believe I have many routes I can take and I’m hoping to hear what others think, that aren’t in my league lol. My go to is JT but lmk what you think. TIA

Edit: I know the picture may be too long so here it is typed out:
1st: Nabers
2nd: Chase Brown
3rd: JT
4th: KW3
5th: Tet McMillan
6th: Calvin Ridley
7th: Devonta Smith
8th: Rome Odunze
9th: Jordan Mason -> Stef Diggs
10th: Evan Engram
11th: Justin Herbert
12th: Drake Maye
13th: Kaleb Johnson -> Rico Dowdle

Miami Dolphins Fantasy 2026: Reading the Offseason Tea Leaves

Welcome to the second piece in a long, daily series: Reading the NFL Offseason Tea Leaves.  This series is meant to be a primer for anyone who’s not yet steeped themselves in the NFL’s offseason events. We’ll be touching on the fantasy implications for all 32 NFL teams in regards to:

Coaching Changes

Free Agency

NFL Draft

The 32-day series will go in reverse order of DraftKings odds of winning the Super Bowl, which means today’s article will cover the Miami Dolphins who are +35,000 odds.

Article TL;DR: De’Von Achane got paid this offseason and is set to see massive volume in the short-term for the Fins. He’s the 3rd highest paid RB in the NFL, and new HC Jeff Hafley made a point in his first presser that the team will win by running the ball. In Dynasty, the pass catchers are all dart throws and will not likely be the WR1 of the future. If one had to emerge as a long-term WR1 for the Fins, it’s Chris Bell. The tea from Miami was bitter going down, and the only notes I could taste were from the starting RB and QB.

Previous articles:
Yesterday I posted the article for the Arizona Cardinals. I’ll keep a running list for those who are getting into this series deeper into the offseason.

Arizona Cardinals Fantasy 2026: Reading the Offseason Tea Leaves

Welcome to the first part in a long, daily series: Reading the NFL Offseason Tea Leaves.  This series is meant to be a primer for anyone who’s not yet steeped themselves in the NFL’s offseason events. We’ll be touching on the fantasy implications for all 32 NFL teams in regards to:

  • Coaching Changes
  • Free Agency
  • NFL Draft

The 32-day series will go in reverse order of DraftKings odds of winning the Super Bowl, which means today’s article will cover the Arizona Cardinals who are +50,000 odds of winning the Lombardi.

Article TL;DR: What I want you to take away is that the Cardinals coaching situation has massively improved with the addition of Mike LeFleur. Mike LaFleur’s time in the McShanny (McVay & Shanahan) systems ensures we see innovative offensive philosophies implemented. The Cardinals have the weaponry to explode. They will need to keep their QB healthy and upright, and the offensive line is their one glaring weakness.

Which side would you prefer? ( 12 Team SF 0.5 PPR). Additional context in post.

Team #1 is a rebuilder looking to move some older players for young talent. Has a lot of talent still (Mahomes, Rice, Dak, BTJ, Bowers, 5 2027 1sts, & 3 2028 1sts)

Team #2 is going all in to try and win this year. Roster includes Caleb Williams, Tyler Shough, Jeanty, Achane, Justin Jefferson, Jalen’s (McMillan & Coker), and Loveland.

Which side would you take??

In a Vacuum, who won this trade value wise? The side receiving Tet is currently in a re-tool and should be a top contender in 2027. Both 27 picks project mid.

How do I improve my team? 8 team, dynasty PPR.

It’s our three season, I came 2nd our first year and 5th last year. My team is mostly original and picked up Jeremiah Love with the 1st overall pick.

Thoughts on what I can do to upgrade my team and guarantee a win? Open to suggestions.

Trading for Loveland, in my third year of a terrible orphan rebuild.

It’s a 12 start 6 league, 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 flex. No TE premium.

I have Maye, Ward, Love, Corum, Brooks, Tet, Rice, and Burden and Golden. And a few others. Roster 18 but it’s scraps, deebo, Sampson, diggs and such.

I traded Kraft for 2 27 first round picks, 1 mid and 1 late. Guy is wanting both, golden, and brooks. I think I have to take this and pray love stays healthy.

How have I done so far this off-season with trades and my rookie draft?

Start 11, 0.5 ppr 0.5 TEP.

In my rookie draft I got 1.08-Concepcion, 3.01- Stribling, 4.08- Randall. Off waivers I scooped up Heidenreich, Joly, & Raridon

(I know that last trade is offensively bad but hey it got accepted)

Do we think this roster can truly contend?

Feeling pretty solid about this team and the moves I made. I’ve never won a championship & really pushing for it with this team as I feel it’s the best shot I’ve ever had. Any moves you’d make?

Most recent move I made was G Wilson for what should be a very early 27 1st. It’s a bottom 3 ranked team’s pick. If I’m set up in position to make the playoffs easily I plan on moving as many picks as possible to go for the chip & once it’s more locked where that pick & if truly early I’ll be able to get the most value. Also planning on targeting productive vets from rebuilding/ non playoff teams to fill any roster weaknesses late in the season. Any thoughts or advice welcome!

2026 fantasy rebuild draft advice

I know this isn’t trade related, but I figure you’ll all enjoy talking about the draft too. Entering my 4th year in a 14 team, 1.5 PPR TE, super flex dynasty league, obviously in the mid stages of a rebuild. I have the 3rd and 4th overall picks this year and all my 2027 picks. No 2026 second rounders. I am between some combo of Price, Mendoza, and Tyson/Lemon (assuming Tate and Love are gone). Which combo do you think my team needs most?

Drafting A $2,000,000 Best Ball Team Around Jeremiyah Love!

Mitch Anderson of Lineup Fantasy and I drafted a 2026 Fantasy Football Team from the fourth overall pick in Underdog’s famous Best Ball Mania tournament where the #1 team gets $2,000,000. It is key to get explosive pieces in these drafts, as it is a season long tournament, so taking guys like Puka Nacua, Brock Bowers, and Jeremiyah Love were the obvious choices in the first three rounds.

Keeper league question/opinions/advice

im in a 12 team half ppr keeper league. I get to keep one player in the same position they were drafted last year. My best 2 options im contemplating keeping....

Rashee Rice in the 7th or Colston Loveland in the 11th

my big thing is pics after the 8th round get dropped often times so Rashee combined with my 1, 2, and 3rd pics would make my team better but it is still a tough call...

Thoughts?????????????????

All In - Traded for Nico and Saquon

12 team, PPR, Superflex, TEP

I am Team #1

I won the championship last year and wanted to capitalize on my championship window. This got accepted tonight. Still have my ‘27 1st round pick that will hopefully be a late pick.

What do we think of this? How did I do value wise?
