Miami Dolphins DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders looks to continue his made field-goal streak in his matchup against the Houston Texans in Week 15. He has made 16 of his last 16 field-goal attempts and has been one of the hottest kickers in fantasy football. Since quarterback Tua Tagovailoa returned from Injured Reserve, Sanders has seen plenty of looks in terms of both field goals and extra points. Things should continue to improve this week, as the Texans rank 17th in fantasy points and 24th in field-goal percentage to opposing kickers per game. His production has earned him a weekly start for the rest of the season. He ranks as the No. 10 kicker in the Week 15 RotoBaller rankings.

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith has been one of the best tight ends in the 2024 season. The 29-year-old has seen career highs in targets, receptions, and yards. Smith has contributed heavily to Miami winning four of their last five games. This week, he gets a matchup against a Houston Texans defense that has been stingy, allowing fantasy points to tight ends. They allow the third-fewest yards and the least receptions per game to opposing tight ends. Despite this, Smith has been too consistent for any fantasy manager to leave him on the bench. Miami has struggled defensively as of late and may need to throw a ton in this game to have a chance. He should still expect to see plenty of looks; he should be started in all formats. He comes in as RotoBaller's TE5 in this week's rankings.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) has no injury designation after logging a full practice on Thursday. He is coming off one of his best performances of the season and one that fantasy managers hope he can replicate. He caught 10 of 14 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown against the New York Jets defense, his most since Week 1. Now he goes up against the Houston Texans defense, which ranks in the bottom 10 of the league at allowing fantasy points, yards, and touchdowns to opposing wide receivers. With the offense passing the ball considerably more in the last several games, we could see a late-season breakout from the Miami receiving group. Hill enters week 15 as a top-10 receiver play and should be started in all formats. He comes in as the WR6 in this week's RotoBaller rankings.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle looks to build off his nine-reception, 99-yard performance against the New York Jets in Week 14. The 26-year-old is seemingly finding his footing late in the season as the offense looks fluid. Waddle and Miami travel to take on the Houston Texans in Week 15, a team that tends to struggle at defending wide receivers. They allow the sixth-most fantasy points, the seventh-most yards, and second-most receiving touchdowns per game to wideouts. The offense has recently seen an uptick in passing plays, helping Waddle garner more targets. With Miami's recent defensive struggles, they could find themselves in a shootout with quarterback C.J. Stroud and the Houston offense. Waddle is a high-upside WR3 play in Week 15. He comes in as RotoBaller's WR30 in this week's rankings.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of fantasy football's most consistent running backs in 2024. He scored 18+ PPR fantasy points in six of the last seven games and touchdowns in four straight. The 23-year-old also ranks second in receiving yards by a running back behind only Alvin Kamara. Week 15 presents a matchup against a Houston Texans defense that excels at stopping opposing running backs. They rank eighth in rushing yards, fourth in fantasy points, and tied for fifth in rushing touchdowns allowed per game. They're also very good at defending running backs in the passing game, ranking fifth in receiving yards allowed per game to running backs. Despite this, he remains a solid RB1 and should continue to see the bulk of the touches in the Miami backfield. His red zone presence makes him an easy start for Week 15. He comes in as RotoBallers RB5 in this week's rankings.
