The Miami Dolphins held on in Week 10 to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles, 20-19, on Sunday. Some key fantasy players for Miami produced enough to satisfy fantasy owners.   

Running back Lamar Miller stayed true to his usual low-rushing output but made up for it with his third touchdown reception of the season.

Miller has only cracked 100 rushing yards twice this year, and he has not broken the 50-yard mark in three weeks. However, his pass-catching abilities have moved him into RB1 discussion.    

Miami’s Week 11 opponent, the Dallas Cowboys, are ranked 18th in the NFL in terms of rushing defense. The New York Jets, the Dolphins’ Week 12 foe, are ranked first.

However, at this point the defense doesn’t matter much for Miller. He likely is not going to gain a ton of yards, and you’ll need to rely on a short-yardage score or receiving touchdown.

Feel good about plugging Miller into your lineup as an RB2, but don’t expect 100 yards or multiple scores.

 

Rishard Matthews had one of his better games in terms of yardage in Week 10 but did not score. He does have four touchdowns for the year, but he’s never had more than seven receptions in a game.

He is quarterback Ryan Tannehill’s second-favorite receiver in terms of targets with 57.

What brings his value down a bit over the next two weeks is the fact Dallas is ranked 11th in passing yards allowed, and the Jets are ninth.

That doesn’t bode well for someone who hasn’t had 100 yards receiving since Week 3 and has not scored since Week 7.

He also adds no value in the running game, as his four rushing yards in Week 10 were his first of the season.

Right now consider Matthews a high-end WR3 and proceed with caution.

 

 

Jarvis Landry remains Miami’s top receiving target. It was encouraging for fantasy owners to see him score against the Eagles. Despite his high number of targets and receptions, he had only caught a touchdown in one game all season.

Although the rushing yards were not there in Week 10, he does have 101 yards on the ground and a score to go along with a return touchdown as well.

Landry’s 60 receptions and versatility make him a good play, but his opponents take him down a notch to a high-end WR2 the next two weeks. Don’t expect 100 yards and a score in those games, but he still should be able to have some decent fantasy outputs, especially in points-per-reception leagues.
