2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Getting fifth-year option picked up
General manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that the Dolphins will exericse the fifth-year option on Phillips' (Achilles) rookie contract before May's deadline, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A torn right Achilles' tendon limited Phillips to just eight games last season, but he's reportedly on track to be ready for Week 1 of the 2024 campaign. He's been one of the Dolphins' more impactful pass rushers over the past three seasons, and the team will be more in need of him than ever with Christian Wilkins having moved on to Las Vegas.

Miami to pick up fifth-year option
General manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that the Dolphins will exercise Phillips' fifth-year option, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips will remain with the Dolphins through the 2025 season by having a fifth year tacked on to his four-year rookie deal. The 18th overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft has been trending in the wrong direction, as Phillips had 8.5 sacks as a rookie, seven in 2022 and just 6.5 in 2023. That 2023 total came in just eight games before Phillips tore his Achilles' tendon, but the injury hasn't deterred Miami from planning to keep him in the fold for an additional season.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Phillips has a somewhat concerning collegiate injury history, particularly with reference to concussions, but he should take on an immediate starting role in Miami as long as he can stay healthy. The Dolphins are hoping to have finally found a premier defensive end in the 22-year-old.
