Dolphins' Patrick Paul: Breakout LT and the Survivor Read

Jul 9, 2026

Patrick Paul gets the breakout label in Miami

Miami's starting left tackle Patrick Paul has been named the Dolphins' most likely breakout candidate heading into 2026. The tag lands on a big man with even bigger expectations: a young blindside protector the team is counting on to anchor the offensive line and take a real step forward this season.

What it means for your survivor pick

A breakout at left tackle is the kind of quiet, foundational development survivor players should file away rather than act on immediately. Better left-tackle play protects the quarterback, keeps drives alive, and lifts an offense's floor — all things that matter when you're hunting a safe pick. But it's one player and a preseason projection, not a result. Paul still has to prove the leap on the field, and we don't yet have the matchups, spreads, or opponent data to know when Miami actually profiles as a survivor-worthy favorite. Treat this as a reason to keep the Dolphins on your radar and revisit them once the schedule sharpens. If you're still setting up your board, now's the time to start a free survivor pool and learn how survivor pools work so you're ready when the clear spots arrive.
