Sieler tallied 63 tackles (32 solo), including 10 sacks, one interception which he returned for a touchdown, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries across 17 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2023.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler had never previously surpassed 3.5 sacks in a season, but he managed to thrive in defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's scheme. He remains under contract with Miami for the next three seasons, though the team does have a potential 'out' after the 2024 campaign. As long as the Dolphins retain Christian Wilkins this offseason, he and Sieler will once again combine to form one of the NFL's most formidable interior duos along the defensive line next season.

Sieler finished Sunday's 56-19 loss to the Ravens with five tackles (three solo), including one sack, and a forced fumble.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler got to Lamar Jackson late in the first quarter that led to a Baltimore punt two plays later. He also forced his first fumble of the season when he stripped Gus Edwards on a run early in the third quarter. After totaling 10 sacks in his first six seasons, Sieler has erupted for 9.5 sacks on the year and has a chance to reach double-digits in Miami's Week 18 contest against Buffalo.

Sieler notched five tackles (two solo), including one sack, and one pass breakup during Sunday's 22-20 win over the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler has logged 4.5 sacks in his last five appearances, with a career-high total of 8.5 across 15 games. The veteran defensive tackle has proven an incredible fit in new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's scheme, and he'll need to turn in two more dominant performances with tough matchups against the Ravens and Bills on deck to close out the regular season.

Sieler registered two tackles (one solo), with a sack, during the Dolphins' victory over the Jets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler had another solid outing Sunday and has now compiled 3.5 sacks over the past four games. The 28-year-old will look to produce for Miami once again in the upcoming matchup versus the Cowboys.

Sieler logged four total tackles (one solo), one pass deflection and one pick-six in Monday night's 28-27 loss to the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old defensive tackle beat his blocker on a screen pass and jumped in front of Will Levis' pass, taking it back for a five yard pick-six and giving Miami its first points of the evening. Sieler has been an important part of the Dolphins' defense thus far, starting all 13 games for the team and recording 44 total tackles, including eight tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks. Expect Sieler to continue being an integral part of Miami's defensive line as the season progresses.

Sieler recorded four tackles (one solo) including 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 45-15 win at Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler registered in the sack column for the second straight game in Week 13, pushing his season total in that category up to 6.5. He has already had a career-best season as a pass rusher, but there are better IDP options for Week 14 when Miami hosts the Titans.

Seiler recorded seven tackles (six solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 31-16 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Seiler put together a career effort versus New York's porous offensive line, recording his first sacks of the 2023 campaign alongside a season-best performance as a run stopper. The interior defensive lineman nonetheless isn't a likely candidate to have a repeat strong IDP fantasy performance, though he will benefit from a favorable Week 6 matchup against the Panthers.

Sieler and the Dolphins agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $38.65 million Sunday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel Reports.
EDGE Analysis
Furones notes that the deal includes $20 million guaranteed. Sieler was claimed off waivers by Miami in December of 2019 after being waived by the Ravens. He's started in every game for the Dolphins since 2020 and recorded career highs last year in tackles (70) and forced fumbles (two) while matching a career-high with 3.5 sacks. He's formed a formidable duo with defensive lineman Christian Wilkins -- who has sat out of team drills while dealing with a contract dispute of his own -- and the extension ensures that the Dolphins will have at least one of their core interior lineman on the books for the foreseeable future.

Sieler posted six tackles (three solo), including one sack, in Sunday's 23-21 defeat versus New England.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler notched the Dolphins' third and final sack of quarterback Mac Jones, bringing down the Patriots' signal-caller for a 10-yard loss on third down late in the fourth quarter. The fifth-year defensive tackle stepped up into the biggest defensive role of his career with Emmanuel Ogbah (triceps) sidelined since Week 10. As a result, Sieler has posted career highs in tackles (67), sacks (3.5) and passes defended (four).

Sieler recorded five tackles (three solo) and one sack in Saturday's loss to Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Sieler recorded half of a sack in Week 13 against San Francisco, and he made it to the quarterback again Saturday to bring down Josh Allen. Sieler now sits with 58 tackles (35 solo), four passes defended and two forced fumbles through 14 games this season.
