Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle caught nine of 12 targets for 99 yards in their 32-26 overtime victory over the division-rival New York Jets. It was a bounce back after a poor performance in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers. Waddle and Tyreek Hill (wrist) took advantage of Sauce Gardner's absence in this game. It was the second time in three games that the 26-year-old was able to surpass 90 yards after not being able to break 50 in eight of the previous nine contests. Things are starting to click for Miami's offense, and Waddle has become a beneficiary with 25 targets over the last three games. Fantasy managers can feel more comfortable starting him in their starting lineups as we approach the fantasy playoffs. Next on the schedule is a matchup with the Houston Texans, who are very suspect against wide receivers.
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 14 times for 24 yards and a touchdown in their 32-26 overtime victory over the New York Jets. He also added six receptions on seven targets for 45 yards. This is the sixth time in the last seven games that Achane has found the end zone and scored at least 15-plus PPR fantasy points. The touchdown came from two yards out on the opening drive to give Miami an early 7-0 lead. While the rushing totals have not been great recently, he has proven time and time again that he doesn't need the ball a ton to produce. His role is as safe as almost any other back in the NFL, with Miami having no more margin for error for the rest of the season. Next on the schedule is a matchup with the Houston Texans in Week 15.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) caught 10 of 14 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in the 32-26 victory over the New York Jets. Hill also added six rushing yards on one attempt. The touchdown came on a crucial 4th and goal that tied the game at 23 after Jaylen Waddle converted the two-point attempt. This marks the first time since Week 1 that Hill has posted 100-plus receiving yards in a game. The touchdown is the fourth time he has found paydirt in the last five games. The 30-year-old is starting to have some of the performances that fantasy managers have hoped for when drafting him early in the first round back in August. With Miami needing wins in all their remaining games, Hill should continue to be heavily utilized down the stretch. Miami will travel in Week 15 to take on the Houston Texans.
Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith caught three of four targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 14's 32-26 overtime victory over the New York Jets. His touchdown grab to seal the victory came from 10 yards out on a beautiful touchball by Tua Tagovailoa. Smith went into the contest on an absolute tear. His averages in the previous three games were 10 targets, 8.3 receptions, and 100.3 yards per game. That was on top of scoring three touchdowns in that same span. Smith has quickly emerged as one of the top tight ends in fantasy football and should be a vital part of the Dolphins offense for the remainder of the season. Week 15 presents a road matchup with the Houston Texans.
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) is officially inactive for Week 14 against the New York Jets. He had been listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week long. The veteran has handled a very reduced workload and snap share for most of this season, tallying just 236 rushing yards, 117 receiving yards, and two touchdowns through nine games. He ranks as the overall RB54 in fantasy football this year, so he would have belonged on fantasy benches (or waivers) even if active. Look for rookie Jaylen Wright to step up as Miami's No. 2 running back behind De'Von Achane.
