Darrisaw will earn just over $16 million on his fifth-year extension as the 2021 first-round pick will now be under contract through 2025. Darrisaw has started 39 of the 41 games he’s appeared in for his career but has never played more than 15 games in a season due to a myriad of injuries that have left him briefly sidelined. He started every game he appeared in last season and was one of PFF’s highest-graded linemen. Darrisaw earned an overall offensive grade of 82.4, while his pass-blocking grade of 85.3 ranked third-highest amongst all tackles (min. 300 snaps). We’d expect a long-term contract to be in his hands in the near future, but Darrisaw may need to wait until Justin Jefferson’s extension is secured before the team moves on to hammering out his deal.

Hill was quiet through the game’s first quarter but he eventually began to rack up catches in the second. Hill is still plenty spry but he was unable to separate from Denzel Ward on what would have been a monstrous catch-and-run score, instead settling for an explosive gain as Ward eventually pulled him down post-catch. In an effort to facilitate big plays however possible, Mike McDaniel allowed Hill to join the punt return squad. He fielded one for 18 yards. Hill is a high-end WR2 against the Jets in Week 18 though his target share would be mildly threatened if Jaylen Waddle (knee) returns.

Huntley executed Mike McDaniel’s game plan effectively, dinking and dunking his way downfield from start to finish. He threw short of the sticks on 61.5 percent of his passes but received helpful yardage boosts from his speedy running backs and tight ends. Huntley’s best play was all his own though; a 13-yard rushing score in which he shook three would-be tacklers before leaping into the end zone. Had the Dolphins faced a high-powered offense, it is unlikely Huntley could have delivered the win but credit to him for beating the opponent he was given. Huntley is a mildly intriguing QB2 if he gets the start against the Jets in Week 18.
