Eric Karabell argues fantasy managers shouldn't panic on the Miami Dolphins despite a Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. RB De'Von Achane scored only 10.6 points and averaged 3.3 yards per carry, but Karabell notes he caught four of five targets and remains a top-10 option, citing similar slow starts in 2024. He advises buying low on Achane.

QB Malik Willis impressed with 16.7 fantasy points, including a 14-yard touchdown run. Karabell emphasizes the fantasy value of rushing quarterbacks, comparing Willis to Justin Fields (2022 QB6) and Michael Vick (2006 QB2), noting rushing production elevates ceilings for Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.

Rookie WR Caleb Douglas emerged with 94 receiving yards, quickly becoming fantasy relevant and boosting the passing game outlook. Karabell predicts touchdown passes and runs ahead for Willis, even if the Dolphins remain underdogs against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2.
