The Las Vegas Raiders go into their matchup with Miami sitting at 2-0 on the season, but here are three Dolphins to worry about in Week 3.

The Las Vegas Raiders are in familiar territory going into their week three clash with the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, and that familiar territory is starting the season 2-0, which was also the case for the 2020 season.

Despite the previous undefeated start, this one seems to feel very different, mainly considering that the level of competition for the 2021 season so far has been much stronger. With wins over perennial playoff contenders in the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers, it would seem that the Week 3 contest should feel like a cakewalk.

The Miami Dolphins (1-1) are entering the week without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who will be sidelined with fractured ribs. However, even with Tua out, this offense was already one of the most lethargic in the NFL, ranking second-worst overall in total yards and last in points scored.

With all of the weaknesses among this Dolphins team, they still have some players that should be accounted for, I mean they are an NFL team after all. Here are three of them.
