Miami Dolphins DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine had a quiet start to the 2024-25 campaign. However, things have gone in a different direction, with the 27-year-old finding the end zone in six of his previous seven appearances. Granted, it would be nice if he had more catches, especially for those participating in PPR formats. Still, Westbrook-Ikhine appears to have a good thing going with Will Levis, so he warrants consideration for fantasy lineups. With that in mind, he's still a risky fantasy option in Week 13 versus the Commanders.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the team's Week 13 game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Black Friday. Mattison missed last week's loss to the division-rival Denver Broncos and came into Friday's contest as questionable, but he'll now miss his second straight game. With Zamir White (quadriceps) also missing a second straight game, Ameer Abdullah is in line to make a second straight start, with Sincere McCormick and rookie Dylan Laube backing him up. For volume alone, Abdullah enters the RB3/flex mix in fantasy yet again, but the matchup isn't a great one. The Chiefs defense has allowed the fewest half-PPR points to opposing RBs this year. Abdullah wasn't exactly impressive in his start last week against a similarly tough Broncos defense, rushing for 28 yards on eight carries, although he did find the end zone through the air.

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith caught 10 of 11 targets for 113 yards in their 30-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Smith continues to draw plenty of opportunities early and often from Tua Tagovailoa. He led the team in targets, receptions, and yards in Thursday's loss. The 29-year-old looks like a solidified TE1 and has returned significant value to fantasy managers who grabbed him off the waiver wire. Smith now ranks as the TE3 overall, behind only Brock Bowers and George Kittle. Next week, he will get a matchup at home against the New York Jets, who have struggled mightily against tight ends.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle caught all four of his targets for 53 yards in Thursday's 30-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. After his best performance of the season, Waddle failed to top 60 receiving yards for the eighth and has seen five targets or less for the seventh time in 2024. With Jonnu Smith (11 targets) emerging as a top target for Tua Tagovailoa in Thursday's loss, Waddle has found targets hard to come by. The offense got off to a slow start in the first half, being down 24-3, and the 26-year-old could not find a rhythm for the rest of the game. He has not been the wide receiver fantasy managers have hoped for this season, as he now ranks as the WR35 overall. Waddle will look to get back on track next week at home against the New York Jets.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 37 of 46 passes for 365 yards and two passing touchdowns in their 30-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He also added six rushing yards on two attempts. Miami's offense started very slow in the first half but got things going after halftime. With it being 24-3 going into the locker room, they were forced to throw to attempt to get back into the game. Since returning in Week 8, Tagovailoa has played some of the best football of his career. In that span, he has tossed 13 touchdowns with only one interception. The 26-year-old has finished as a top-10 fantasy quarterback the past two games and may finish there in Week 13 when it's all said and done. Miami will look to get back on track next week when they return home to play the New York Jets.
