NFL Week 1 All-Stars: Josh Allen Or Caleb Williams At QB? Which RBs Make The Team?

Riley Patterson - Misses field goal versus Raiders Patterson converted two of his three field-goal attempts and both of his extra point tries during Miami's loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Impact Patterson made kicks from 41 and 37 yards out but failed to convert on a second 41-yard attempt during the third quarter. The 27-year-old served as the Dolphins' kicker last season as well, making 27 of his 29 field-goal attempts and all but one of his 35 extra-point tries.

Ollie Gordon II - Barely involved in loss Gordon played three of the Dolphins' 56 offensive snaps during Sunday's 27-13 loss at Las Vegas.

Impact Gordon also played five snaps on special teams, but he made no mark in the Week 1 box score. It appears Pro Bowler De'Von Achane will likely have a firm hold on the lion's share of the snaps in Miami's backfield for as long as he remains available.

Jaylen Wright - Minimal usage in loss Wright had two kick returns for 106 yards alongside one carry for a one-yard loss in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Wright was an afterthought behind starting running back De'Von Achane, who had 11 carries and five targets in the loss. The No. 2 option will likely make a living as a returner, as it appears he currently has no niche in the offense or as a regular participant with the special teams unit.

Will Kacmarek - Goes catchless in debut Kacmarek failed to haul in his only target during Miami's loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Impact Kacmarek was in the team's starting lineup for his regular-season debut but ended up seeing limited action, playing just 14 of the 56 offensive snaps in addition to six snaps on special teams. While the 23-year-old primarily functions as a blocker, he will still look to see an increased role during next week's matchup against the 49ers.

6 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Kyle Louis - Set to miss at least one contest Louis (knee) is expected to miss the Dolphins' Week 2 matchup against the 49ers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Louis suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Raiders, and he will now be sidelined for at least one contest moving forward. The rookie logged three snaps on defense and 14 snaps with the special-teams unit before his departure in Week 1, and his absence will likely have little impact on the team's defensive approach versus San Francisco.

8 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Coleman Jr. - Held without catch in NFL debut Coleman failed to bring in his two targets during Sunday's 27-13 loss to Las Vegas.

Impact Malik Willis missed on both of his pass attempts to Coleman late in the fourth quarter. Coleman's 16 snaps on offense were fourth-most among Dolphins wide receivers, and the rookie fifth-rounder figures to operate in a rotational role on offense behind Malik Washington, Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell. Coleman will look to record his first NFL catch in a Week 2 tilt against the 49ers on Sept. 20.

For young Dolphins and first-year coach, shaky opener is part of the rebuilding process

The Miami Dolphins’ season-opening loss to the Las Vegas Raiders was a sobering reminder of the growing pains that come with a full organizational rebuild

Chris Bell - Hauls in 25-yard catch in NFL debut Bell caught one pass on two targets for 25 yards during the Dolphins' 27-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Impact It wasn't until the third quarter that Bell logged his first NFL catch, hauling in 25-yard pass from Malik Willis to keep the drive going and ending with a 14-yard touchdown run by the latter two plays later. The rookie wideout saw the field for 29 of the Dolphins' 56 offensive snaps (51.2 percent), which was third-most among Miami's wide receivers behind Malik Washington (55) and fellow rookie Caleb Douglas (51). It was encouraging to see Bell on the field, seeing as he tore his ACL last December, and his snap count should steadily increase as his conditioning improves. Bell and the Dolphins face a tough Week 2 matchup Sept. 20, against a 49ers defense that limited league MVP Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense to just seven points Week 1.

8 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Greg Dulcich - Tallies two catches in Week 1 loss Dulcich caught both of his targets for 18 yards Sunday in a loss to the Raiders.

Impact Dulcich wasn't particularly productive, but he was the only Miami tight end to catch a pass in the season opener. The 26-year-old was on the field often, logging 43 of the Dolphins' 56 offensive snaps as well as four special-teams snaps. Dulcich is getting the opportunity to work as Miami's No. 1 tight end, and he could gain some fantasy traction as Malik Willis' primary safety valve as the season progresses.
