Emmanuel Ogbah - Concludes another nine-sack season Ogbah notched 41 tackles (26 solo), nine sacks, 12 pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 games in 2021.

Impact Ogbah put together arguably the best campaigns of his NFL career during his two-year deal with the Dolphins, which is set to conclude this offseason and position him for free agency. The 28-year-old's standout play could even potentially earn him consideration for the franchise tag, as Miami has no clear route to replace his production and consistency.

Jaelan Phillips - Solid rookie campaign Phillips racked up 42 tackles (23 solo), 8.5 sacks, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery across 17 games in 2021.

Impact Phillips put together an effective rookie effort, especially as a pass rusher, though he didn't prove consistent enough to jump onto the IDP fantasy radar as a weekly starter in most formats. The 2021 first-rounder will look to take a step forward in terms of fantasy relevance as a sophomore, when he could have a clearer path to an every-down role.

Xavien Howard - Contract questions loom The Dolphins and Howard may need to revisit contract discussions this offseason, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.

Impact Howard requested a trade last offseason but agreed to play under a restructured contract for the 2021 season, in which he notched 50 tackles (39 solo), one sack, 16 pass breakups and five interceptions. Though Howard didn't reach a double-digit INT mark after doing so in 2020, he remains one of the clear top cornerbacks in the NFL and still proved an impact player with two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and two defensive touchdowns. Miami will likely need to offer Howard a more tantalizing contract in order to keep the Pro Bowler on the roster, a decision which the Dolphins will need to balance against a number of other key free-agency questions.

Byron Jones - Ends 2021 without an INT Jones racked up 58 tackles (47 solo), 10 pass breakups and one forced fumble across 16 appearances in 2021.

Impact Jones once again served as a pillar of Miami's secondary in 2021 across from Xavien Howard, though his quality of play doesn't usually translate to favorable IDP stats. The Dolphins have a potential "out" in the 29-year-old's contract this offseason that would result in $4.2 million in dead cap money, but the team could instead attempt to explore a restructured deal.

Christian Wilkins - Posts career numbers in 2021 Wilkins notched 89 tackles (49 solo), 4.5 sacks, four pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 appearances in 2021.

Impact Wilkins recorded career-high statistics across the board in his third NFL season, taking a notable step forward in establishing himself as a defensive pillar for Miami. The 2019 first-round pick is set to play out the final year of his rookie contract come 2022, though the Dolphins could mull the possibility of picking up his fifth-year option.
