The AFC East showed a lackluster performance in the 2024 NFL season, with only the Buffalo Bills securing a playoff spot, while the New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, and New York Jets struggled significantly. The Bills fell short in the playoffs against the Kansas City Chiefs, leaving them with room for improvement heading into the next season. In contrast, the Dolphins and Jets faced coaching changes after disappointing seasons. As the teams regroup, key players on these struggling squads could become valuable assets for fantasy managers looking ahead to 2025.

Drake Maye, the Patriots quarterback, emerged as a serviceable fantasy option despite a lack of support from his teammates. His accuracy and potential rushing ability make him a valuable buy in dynasty leagues. Keon Coleman of the Bills showcased promise in his rookie season, and if he can recover from injury, he could become a top target for quarterback Josh Allen. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson is another player to watch, as he has the potential for a bounce-back season with a new coaching regime. Similarly, wide receiver Malik Washington from the Dolphins, while initially unremarkable, could find opportunities in a changing offense.

The Miami Dolphins faced numerous forgettable moments during the 2024 season, culminating in a list of the ten most regrettable plays. Despite the team's efforts, these missteps contributed heavily to a disappointing campaign that concluded without a playoff appearance.

From defensive penalties to critical turnovers, each play encapsulated the struggles faced by the Dolphins. One highlight was a personal foul by Jordan Poyer that led to a devastating last-minute loss against the Buffalo Bills. Tyreek Hill's fumble and Malik Washington's muffed punt were also critical errors that exemplified the team's inability to capitalize on key situations, further adding to their woes.
