Most Receiving Yards in a Single Game by a Miami Dolphins Player
When it comes to deep-ball fireworks, the Miami Dolphins know how to light it up. Brian Hartline surprisingly holds the top spot with a 253-yard shocker in 2012, but Tyreek Hill dominates the list with four separate appearances — all in the past two seasons. Add in legends like Mark Duper and Chris Chambers, and this Top 10 is a true mix of speed and legacy.
TOP 10 LIST
10. Tyreek Hill – 181 Yards (2023)
The fourth appearance for Hill, this 181-yard game was just another day at the office in his Miami takeover.
9. Tyreek Hill – 188 Yards (2022)
You blink, he’s gone. Hill tore through coverages with ease, racking up 188 in explosive fashion.
8. Tyreek Hill – 190 Yards (2022)
Another one. In 2022, Hill stacked 190 yards like it was nothing — redefining speed in the NFL.
7. Mark Duper – 202 Yards (1983)
Duper was part of the “Marks Brothers” and cooked defenses long before Tyreek’s time.
6. Nat Moore – 210 Yards (1981)
Moore made his mark in the early days of the Dolphins passing attack. This 210-yard performance was elite for the era.
5. Irving Fryar – 211 Yards (1994)
One of the best WR performances in Dolphins ’90s history, Fryar went off with over 200 yards in style.
4. Tyreek Hill – 215 Yards (2023)
Hill hit warp speed in 2023 with this monstrous performance, continuing his record assault in Miami.
3. Mark Duper – 217 Yards (1985)
Another Duper bomb. This 217-yard day showed just how dangerous he was with Marino slinging it.
2. Chris Chambers – 238 Yards (2005)
A career day for Chambers — he was unstoppable and seemed to catch everything in sight.
1. Brian Hartline – 253 Yards (2012)
The ultimate “where did that come from?” game. Hartline exploded for 253 yards — still the highest ever by a Dolphins receiver.
