Buffalo Bills: Ranking the wide receivers in the AFC East
By Rob Spehar
4) Miami Dolphins
Projected Starters: Devante Parker, Albert Wilson, Preston Williams
Everything was falling apart for the Dolphins at the beginning of the season. There wasn’t much to write home about until the emergence of DeVante Parker who ended up having a breakout campaign and finished the season with the most touchdowns in the AFC by a wide receiver.
His final stats for 2019 were 72 receptions for 1,202 yards and 9 touchdowns. Next closest on the team was Preston Williams who, through only 8 games, had 32 receptions for 428 yards and 3 touchdowns. His season was cut short due to an ACL injury last November but it is not hard to imagine what he could have done if he played a full season. Albert Wilson played 13 games and only ended up with 43 receptions for 351 yards and 1 touchdown.
The Dolphins are in rebuilding mode and that is evident when you look at their draft haul. Outside of Tua Tagovailoa, no other skill position players were drafted until the seventh round when they took wide receiver Malcolm Perry out of Navy.
Looking at this group, it seems that this area could be the weakest link for the Dolphins heading into the 2020 season. But the Dolphins do have really good depth at the position compared to the other teams. If this crew can stay healthy for a full season and Miami can build on what they started late last season, their aerial attack can be formidable enough to cause problems for opposing defenses.
