2024 Fantasy Outlook
Long broke out for 113 tackles (64 solo), one sack, one pass breakup and one forced fumble in his inaugural season with the Dolphins, the first 100-tackle mark of his career. To see Long not only emerge as a truly reliable run stopper, but also put injury concerns behind him while suiting up for a career-best 16 regular-season games, is encouraging for his long-term prospects with the Dolphins. An every-down role likely awaits the 27-year-old, and he could need to add to his stop total with Christian Wilkins having moved on to the Raiders. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
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.
