Xavien Howard (knee) unsure if he will play Week 1

Xavien Howard is recovering from knee surgery that limited the former pro-bowl cornerback to just five games in 2019. Howard did indicate that his recovery is "going well, right on track" and stated his excitement about playing alongside pro-bowl cornerback Byron Jones, who was the Dolphins' most expensive free agent acquisition.

Fantasy Impact:
Howard and Jones will be a lethal duo against opposing wideouts in 2020. Miami spent a lot to reconstruct their defense this offseason but Howard's health and availability is key to making it work. Expect first-round rookie slot CB Noah Igbinoghene to move outside if Howard ends up missing time Week 1.
