# Diante Lee: Ranked Miami 29th and suggested veterans Tua Tagovailoa and Minkah Fitzpatrick could be moved out of Miami like Tyreek Hill. **Claimed:** Sep 8, 2026 **Pundit:** Diante Lee — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/diante-lee **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/onsi/dolphins-week-1-power-rankings-roundup-how-low-can-they-go-01m20yy3xjt6 3 checkable claims — 2 trade and signing calls and 1 power ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
