2024 Fantasy Outlook
Phillips, a 2021 first-round pick, was putting together a career year before tearing his ACL in Week 12 of the 2023 campaign. The Dolphins have picked up the fifth-year option of Phillips' rookie deal, keeping him under contract for two more seasons, but it would be reasonable to anticipate him getting off to a slow start in 2024. That could be true for much of Miami's defensive front, with Bradley Chubb also working his way back from an ACL tear, but once both are back to full health, they should be able to bring some serious pressure up front against opposing offenses.

Moves to IR
Phillips (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was already ruled out for the season due to a partial right ACL tear suffered in Monday's loss to the Titans, so this move was fully expected. The transaction created a roster spot that the Dolphins used to sign fellow linebacker Tyus Bowser. Phillips will now focus on his recovery with an eye toward a return in 2025, the final year of his rookie contract.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Phillips has quickly proven why the Dolphins selected him in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, as he's picked up an impressive 15.5 sacks across his first two seasons as a pro. He took a significant step forward in his sophomore campaign from a role perspective, as he increased his snap total from 594 to 796 while playing in all 17 games. This could be the year he surpasses 1,000 snaps as a true every-down player, which in turn should help his production across the board. Phillips is a prime breakout candidate.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Another season-ending injury
Phillips suffered a partially torn ACL during Monday's loss to the Titans and will miss the rest of the 2024 season, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips suffered the injury when the helmet of teammate Jordan Poyer collided with his right knee during a tackle attempt on Titans running back Tony Pollard. Phillips actually re-entered the game after being fitted for a brace at halftime, but he left for good in the third quarter. Phillips also saw his 2023 regular season cut short -- albeit much later into the campaign -- when he suffered a torn Achilles during a November win over the Jets.
