32. Miami Dolphins (32)

Remember all of the hype surrounding the Dolphins last season after being a surprise playoff contender the year before? Turns out, the decision to convince Jay Cutler to come out of retirement was a terrible idea by Miami when looking at how inconsistent he was for the most part, and even though the team is excited to see if Ryan Tannehill can return to his old ways, the former first-round pick still has a long way to go.

Staying healthy will be extremely important for Tannehill when looking at how the last two seasons has been. And even though his Week 3 outing against the Baltimore Ravens (11 of 16 for 115 yards with a touchdown) wasn’t terrible, it’s still not enough to make the Dolphins feel confident about him being the right answer for this team in the long run.

Competing in the AFC East is already one of the biggest challenges in the world for Miami since Tom Brady continues to play at a MVP level, and seeing the Dolphins winless heading into the final week of preseason is concerning. Opening day will be here before Miami knows it, and if Tannehill isn’t playing at a higher level, it could be the start of another long season in 2018.
