Dolphins' Dante Trader: Makes 55 stops as a rookie
Trader racked up 55 tackles (29 solo) across 17 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2025. He also tallied one pass defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Trader exceeded expectations for a rookie fifth-round pick, stepping into a consistent role at safety in Miami's lackluster secondary. The Maryland product has established himself as a fair rotational option going forward, and he could grow into a more notable role under new head coach Jeff Hafley. However, it won't be surprising if the Dolphins make numerous additions at safety this offseason. He remains off the radar in most fantasy IDP formats.

Dolphins' Dante Trader: Posts six tackles against Buffalo
Trader recorded six tackles (three solo) during the Dolphins' 30-13 win over the Bills on Sunday.
The rookie fifth-rounder played 66 of 68 defensive snaps (97.1 percent) and finished third on the Dolphins in tackles. Trader has taken on a larger role in the Dolphins' secondary the last two games, which has coincided with Ashtyn Davis' absence due to a quadriceps injury. Trader got the start against Buffalo, and he would likely start against the Commanders this Sunday if Davis is not cleared to play.

Dolphins' Dante Trader: Season-high 13 tackles in loss
Trader recorded 13 tackles (eight solo) in Thursday night's loss to the Ravens.
Trader didn't start the game but did play a season-high 91 percent of the defensive snaps. His previous single-game-high in tackles was three earlier this season. With all the injuries in the Miami secondary, Trader was forced into heavier action against Baltimore. The fifth-round rookie has produced 29 tackles (17 solo), one pass breakup, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 199 defensive snaps and 149 special-teams snaps through nine games.

Dolphins' Dante Trader: Joins Dolphins secondary
The Dolphins selected Trader in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 155th overall.
Miami gets another piece of the Maryland defense after drafting defensive tackle Jordan Phillips earlier in the fifth. Trader is a former two-sport athlete at Maryland who played lacrosse in addition to football. At 5-foot-11 and 196 pounds, Trader is decent in coverage and is a willing tackler as a safety. He's unlikely to be used as a nickel corner, so he may have to bide his time behind Ashtyn Davis and Ifeatu Melifonwu.
