Miami Dolphins DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 12 times for 41 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 35 yards in the 20-12 Week 14 loss to the Houston Texans. The Miami offense's struggles to run the ball effectively continue with only 52 total rushing yards. This is the first time he has not gotten into the endzone in four games. Despite the poor rushing totals, his receiving output again saved Achane's fantasy day. This marks the sixth time in the last seven games that Achane has gone over 14+ PPR fantasy points. He once again paced the Miami backfield in touches by a wide margin and figures to continue that for the rest of the season. His next matchup will be back at home against the San Francisco 49ers.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 29 of 40 passes for 196 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions in their 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans. With a great matchup, Tagovailoa could not capitalize and cost his team with the three turnovers. The 196 passing yards and only one passing touchdown mark his lowest since Week 2 when he had to exit early against the Buffalo Bills. Before Week 15, the 26-year-old was playing some of the best football of his career and was at the top in several major quarterback stats the last several weeks. Miami's playoff hopes are little to none after the crushing loss, which brings head coach Mike McDaniels's record to 3-15 against teams with a winning record. He and the Miami offense will look to rebound in Week 16 when the San Francisco 49ers come to town.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Grant DuBose (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. He finishes Week 15 having caught one pass for a loss of two yards. DuBose suffered a scary head-to-head hit while attempting to catch a pass during the second half. It appeared to be a very serious situation as the game was paused for 12 minutes so that medical personnel could tend to DuBose. The medical staff eventually removed his helmet, jersey, and pads before stabilizing him on a stretcher, taking him off the field, and transporting him to the hospital. The Dolphins say that DuBose is in stable condition and will continue to be evaluated.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game. The wideout suffered an apparent knee injury during the second quarter. Waddle was seen limping to the blue medical tent but was able to move under his own power. Before leaving, Waddle did not catch a pass, so his fantasy managers will surely be hoping he can return in this one. For the time being, Tyreek Hill and tight end Jonnu Smith should see most of the targets, with Malik Washington getting an increased role in the passing attack. Running back De'Von Achane should see more targets out of the backfield as well.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright has been mostly a non-factor in his rookie campaign. De'Von Achane has commanded the backfield, but there isn't any indication that head coach Mike McDaniel will split the touches moving forward. At this point in the season, he should be on the waiver wire in most redraft leagues. With Achane fully healthy, Wright will not be a starting option for the rest of the fantasy season.
