What It Means:

Head coach Joe Philbin admitted that this problem with pass protection could make quarterbacks uncomfortable. That's bad news for Ryan Tannehill, who is a breakout candidate this year. Our algorithms project him to record 4,264 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 18 interceptions.

It's also not a great sign for the run game, naturally. The Dolphins had a top-12 offense overall last year, according to our schedule-adjusted Net Expected Points per play metric, which compares a team to expectation level. They were the fifth-best rushing team in the league, according to our metrics. If you like targeting Lamar Miller in fantasy drafts, this is a situation to monitor closely, as the run game could take a step backward.
