22. Miami Dolphins

TE. Miami Fl.. David Njoku . 22. player. 59. The Miami Dolphins deserve a ton of credit for pulling off one of the bigger in-season turnarounds in recent memory. They looked dead in the water at 1-4 but got things back on track to reach January. That said the team was exposed in a lot of ways in their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their passing offense just couldn’t generate enough punch with their ground game contained and QB Matt Moore paid the price with a fierce beating. That means more weapons are needed. <p>Tight end was a big drawback for them. The failure of Jordan Cameron and loss of Charles Clay still looming large in their offense. So why not look to their backyard for help. David Njoku is no joke. The Miami tight end showcased his versatility as a blocker and a pass catcher throughout 2016. Not only dangerous after the catch as a runner, but also much better than he gets credit for at blocking. Adam Gase will find loads of things for him to do.</p>
