MIA Quinn Ewers
NFL player. Position: QB. Team: MIA.
Quick Facts
- Position: QB
- Team: MIA (Miami Dolphins)
- Bye week (2026): 6
2026 Outlook
Backup QB competing for the starting role with Malik Willis on the Miami Dolphins. Willis is the front-runner after the team signed him to a $67.5M deal ($45M guaranteed) and committed coaching staff attention. For Ewers to win the job, he would need to dramatically outperform Willis during training camp and preseason, which coaching staff has indicated is unlikely given the financial and developmental commitment to Willis. (per Dolphins Sunday mailbag: What Could Lead to Ewers Starting?)
FOX Sports ranks Ewers as the #5 second-year QB breakout candidate for 2026, noting his long-shot path to meaningful production. Ewers currently sits behind Willis with limited opportunity to start unless circumstances dramatically shift (Willis injury or dramatic regression). 2025 rookie line: 4 games played, 3 starts, 66.3% completion with 622 yards, 3 TDs, 3 INTs. Major headwind: weak receiving corps (top three WRs—Jalen Tolbert, Malik Washington, Tutu Atwell—combined for just 712 receiving yards in 2025). Unless Ewers takes over the starting job, his fantasy upside remains minimal and largely dependent on Willis' status. (per Year 2 Leap: Ranking The Top 5 Second-Year Quarterback Breakout Candidates)
Role / Depth Chart
Backup QB competing for snaps. Expected to be behind Willis unless significant circumstances change. Opportunity exists if Willis struggles or gets injured.
Injury Status
Healthy.
