2025 Fantasy Outlook
Dodson mostly played on special teams after being claimed off waivers by Miami in the middle of the 2024 season, but he closed out Weeks 17 and 18 as an every-down player on defense. He looks primed to open the 2025 campaign as a three-down linebacker, though K.J. Britt and Willie Gay could push for snaps if Dodson struggles at all out of the gate. He tallied a career-high 74 tackles (57 solo), plus 2.5 sacks, two pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery with the Bills in 2023. Read Past Outlooks

Concussion
October 6, 2025
Head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Monday that Dodson is in concussion protocol following Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Panthers, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Prior to Dodson's concussion in Week 5, he tallied four total tackles across 43 defensive snaps. The veteran linebacker from Texas A&M now must clear concussion protocol in order to suit up for Miami's Week 6 matchup against the Chargers. If he's unable to play, expect K.J. Britt to handle the Dolphins' top inside-linebacker duties.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The 2023 season began in disappointing fashion for Dodson, as he lost out to Terrel Bernard for playing time as the Bills sought to replace Tremaine Edmunds in the middle of their defense. However, Matt Milano was lost for the season in Week 5 due to a broken leg, giving Dodson another chance to make an impact on the unit. Dodson took advantage of the second opportunity and played over 60 percent of defensive snaps in eight of Buffalo's final 10 games. Having joined the Seahawks this offseason, Dodson has the opportunity to establish himself as among the best inside linebackers in the league. However, he's never been asked to serve as a full-time starter and his contract was for just one year and $2.5 million, so Dodson will need to prove himself again in 2024.
Dodson will play in his fourth NFL season, and his fourth in Buffalo. Primarily a second string Linebacker, he did start three games last year so he'll compete for more playing time in 2023.
