Where did you rank the Miami Dolphins wide receivers?
Last week, I discussed CBS Sports having the Miami Dolphins wide receivers unit rank sixth and how that might be too low. I also put up a poll asking the following question-
Where would you rank the Miami Dolphins’ receivers in the NFL?
The results were-
- First, received 32 votes or 71 percent.
- Second, received 9 votes or 20 percent.
- Third, received 2 votes or 4 percent.
- Fourth, received 2 votes or 4 percent.
- Fifth, received 0 votes.
- I’m drunk with hate for the Miami Dolphins, so I rank them sixth or lower also received 0 votes.
I also asked the following question:
Where would you rank the Dolphins’ wide receiver unit overall in the NFL?
Below are some of your thoughts and answers-
Spok507 says on paper; they are number 1!
Since everything is basically ‘on paper’ right now, it’s hard to not put them first. What other team has 3 top WRs like Hill-Waddle-OBJ? Add in the rookie Washington and I’d put our WRs at the top. Nobody knows what the season would bring, but right now, on paper, they have to be #1.
21Dave says they are in second until they can show out as a unit in a big game.
I put second , they have the talent to be number 1, but in big games they don’t seem to show up fully and they struggle to get off press coverage, hence so many motion plays. Two things they can fix with a little determination and effort!!
ChumpPunk says Hill and Waddle may be overrated.
In big games, the Hill//Waddle duo disappeared. Was it all Tua’s fault, or mainly receivers? Perhaps both are overrated.
dolphinfan1323 says 5th and potentially first if all the new additions at WR work out.
I feel Miamis receiving core has been highly over rated we had to receiving threats hill and waddle the last two years then who? This year it really depends on obj and the two rookies but I definitely feel better about it now especially when adding in the TEs but from just the wrs I would say 5th and potentially 1st
72Phins4ever is correct!
Best rec core since Duper, Clayton and Moore
The comments were an array of opinions but the poll clearly has the majority believing that the Dolphins wideouts are the very best in the NFL. Thank you again to everyone who took the time to answer our Phinsider question of the day.

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on the forced turnovers: “That is and has to be our identity. We have to play with a recklessness and activity level that exceeds our opponent, and thats not to put down our talent level or anything like that, it’s more about we look different when we’re flying around and making plays and making it tough for the opponent.”

Man shot during $22,000 gold chain robbery at Supreme store in Miami’s Design District; Atlanta suspects arrested
Three men were arrested Saturday after a robbery inside a Miami clothing store left a man shot and hospitalized, according to Miami police and arrest affidavits.
The incident happened Friday afternoon in Miami’s popular Design District neighborhood.
Police said officers were dispatched around 4:20 p.m. Friday to the area of Miami Avenue and Northeast 41st Street after receiving reports of a man who had been shot. Officers found the victim, who told them he had been robbed and shot while shopping inside a Supreme store located at 45 NE 41st Street.
According to investigators, the victim said he was approached by three suspects inside the store, including one person with whom he had a prior conflict originating from the Atlanta area. Police said an argument broke out, and one suspect forcibly removed a gold chain from the victim’s neck. The chain was valued at approximately $22,000, according to police.
As the suspect ran out of the store, the victim attempted to chase him, police said. During the pursuit, an unidentified male shot the victim once in the stomach. The suspects then fled the area in a white Mercedes-Benz, according to the arrest affidavits.
Miami Police detectives later located the suspect vehicle parked near Northeast 10th Avenue and Northeast 91st Terrace. Police said they conducted surveillance and observed the suspects abandon the vehicle and walk through a nearby residential area before entering a home in the 800 block of Northeast 90th Street.
A residential search warrant was executed, resulting in the arrest of three suspects. During the search, detectives recovered the victim’s gold chain, keys to the suspect vehicle, and clothing believed to have been worn during the robbery, police said.
The suspects were identified as Jamar McKay, 25, Omarion Phillips, 20, and Kevieon Smith, 21. McKay was charged with armed robbery with a firearm or deadly weapon. Phillips and Smith were charged as accessories after the fact, with Smith also facing an additional firearms-related charge, according to court records.
“This arrest sends a clear message: violent crime will not be tolerated in the City of Miami,” Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales said in a statement. “Individuals who commit acts of violence in our city will be identified, located, and held fully accountable.”

Miami Hurricanes arrive in Phoenix to continue Fiesta Bowl preparations
Miami Hurricanes arrive in Phoenix
Miami Hurricanes arrive in Phoenix on Jan. 5, 2026, ahead of their matchup with the Ole Miss Rebels at the 2026 Vrbo Fiesta Bowl.
The Miami Hurricanes are looking to buck a bad trend. They’re 0-4 in the Fiesta Bowl.
Coach Mario Cristobal’s team gets its fifth shot this week as Miami (12-2) squares off against Mississippi (13-1) in the Fiesta Bowl at 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 8 at State Farm Stadium. The school may be 0-4 historically, but there is plenty at stake. This Fiesta Bowl is serving as a College Football Playoff semifinal.
The Hurricanes, the No. 10 seed in the 12-team playoff field, arrived at 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 5, at the Ragsdale Executive Terminal of Sky Harbor Airport. The opposing team is expected 24 hours later.
The gathered crowd of 100 or so was made of members of the Fiesta Bowl Committee, easily identifiable in their yellow jackets, and their families.
In the past, there had been a welcome event in a tent adjacent to the runway. The coach typically made an opening statement, but players and coaches walked off the plane and straight to their buses parked nearby.
Players, dressed in white sweatsuits, filed off their American Airlines flight in single file on a blue carpet.
The players will take part in a media day on Jan. 6 at a Scottsdale hotel, with the coaches talking to the media the following day, the eve of the contest.
The Hurricanes enter on the heels of a six-game winning streak. Their last loss came on Nov. 1 against SMU, a game decided in double overtime 26-20. They have surrendered just 17 points in their two postseason games.
The winner advances to the national championship game on Jan. 19 against the winner of the other semifinal, the Peach Bowl between Oregon and Indiana.
