As we race toward August, Footballguys.com will look at one team per day with our quick-hitting Team Vibes and Players to Target and Avoid, where we check out the overall mood of each team's offense and let you know the players we are in on (because they are great values at the cost it takes to acquire them) and who we're out on (because they are too expensive and won't give you a good return on that investment).

Dolphins, Team Vibes
- Good - 12
- Neutral - 5
- Bad - 0
Staffers with Good Vibes
- Dan Hindery: As long as Tua Tagovailoa and left tackle Terron Armstead can stay healthy, this is one of the most talented and explosive offenses in the NFL.
- Ben Cummins: Mike McDaniel’s offense ranked seventh in Expected Points Added per Play last season despite Tua Tagovailao’s injuries.
- Dave Kluge: They’ve got speed at every position and should be an electric offense.
- Jeff Bell: As long as Tua Tagovailoa is on the field.
- Craig Lakins: With Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle playing wide receiver, there's no reason this offense should be anything short of electric.
- Jeff Haseley: Miami nearly beat Buffalo in the playoffs with Skylar Thompson at quarterback. If Tua Tagovailoa can remain upright this team is primed for success.
- Phil Alexander: If Tua Tagovailoa takes another ugly hit, Mike White can at least keep the offense functional.
- Ryan Weisse: Year 2 with Mike McDaniel should bring improvement to an already exciting offense.
- Daniel Harms: Even with some QB health concerns, Mike McDaniel runs a drag race offense that’s going to score points.
- Hutchinson Brown: The Dolphins have a pretty great set of skill positions, a good offensive line, and a good quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa.
- Alfredo Brown: hey're a high-powered offense that should be better in Year-2 under Mike McDaniel.
- Christian Williams: Mike McDaniel is a genius, and Tua Tagovailoa is one of the most underrated signal-callers in the NFL.
Staffers with Neutral Vibes
- Jason Wood: Tua Tagovailoa was seriously considering retirement. Another head injury, and the season unravels.
- Jeff Tefertiller: The season rides on the health of Tua Tagovailoa.
- Zareh Kantzabedian: I am seriously concerned about Tua Tagovailoa's health. The Miami Dolphins offense sputtered when Tagovailoa missed time last year.
- Andy Hicks: If Tua Tagovailoa can stay fit, it is one of the best units in the NFL. Unfortunately, the threat of concussions is real and opposing defenses know it.
- Chad Parsons: Their hot rod offense would have good vibes if not for Tua Tagovailoa's laundry list of head injuries and a career-threatening status.
Staffers with Bad Vibes
- None.
