2023 Fantasy Outlook
Long's arrival from Tennessee provides the Dolphins with a much-needed force as a run-stopper. While the linebacker didn't notch a single sack across four season with the Titans, he did notch a career-high 86 tackles in 2022 despite missing the final five games of the season with a hamstring issue. Durability could be a concern, as Long also missed seven games in 2021, but if he can stay healthy and safeguard the middle of the field for Vic Fangio's new defensive scheme, his impact for Miami could be notable.

First career 100-tackle season
LBMiami Dolphins
January 15, 2024
Long racked up 113 tackles (64 solo), including one sack, one pass breakup and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Long surpassed the 100-tackle mark for the first time in his five-year NFL career while also tallying his first first-ever sack as a pro during a Week 2 win over New England. The 2024 campaign will mark the final season of his two-year contract with Miami, but his cap hit will grow to a sizeable $6.7 million, and the team has a potential 'out' with only $2.2 million in dead money this offseason. Of course, given Long's career-best 2023 performance, both sides should have mutual agreement on remaining united.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
After showing hints of a breakout to close 2020, Long made significant strides last season. He tallied a career-best 75 tackles across just 10 games, as he was hampered by hamstring injuries to both begin and end the campaign. Perhaps Long's most useful skill is in coverage, as he has nine career passes defended across three seasons - six of which came in 2021.
