bench
  • The Panthers are 6th best against fantasy passsers, no QB has over 220 passing yards and just 4 passing scores in 4 games
  • Tua's passing yards have been rough, but has multiple scores in 3 straight and the Drake Maye just went for 200+ and 3 scores against this Panthers team last week.

  • 5+ targets in all games and likely to tick up without Hill
  • Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson have been top 30 corners this year resulting in the 2nd toughest matchup for fantasy WRs, allowing the 2nd fewest receptions, fewest yards, and just 2 WR scores in 4 games.
WR63 Malik Washington 16 2.69 3.81 19.44 0.13 14%
bench
  • given the matchup, WW hot pickups Malik Washington might be better served on the bench, especially if Nick Westbrook Ikhine works in more.
  • KA good YAC guy, and with increased targets, don't be shocked if this dolphin splashes. He gets 8.1 yards after the catch per completion which is 6th best in the NFL

TE25 Darren Waller 9 2.67 3.78 31.44 0.67 43%
C
  • as tough as Carolina has been against QBs and WRs, they've let up a little against TEs. Brenton Strange had 4 for 59, McBride went 6-78, Pitts 4 for 39, Higgins 2-45, Hunters Long and Henry scored. Waller saw an uptick after the Hill injury
  • 2 catches and a score after the Hill injury, but still only played 16 snaps, still working his way back
  • appears to be a red zone threat on his low snaps, but the dolphins don't get there much, only 19 red zone pass attempts total in 4 games
  • Miami has already said Waller's snaps will jump this week
  • lined up out wide on 10 of 12 routes

RB6 De'Von Achane 16 14.88 84.38 0.5 4.19 5.31 30.5 0.25 100%
A
  • Last year it was start all your RBs against Carolina. That has pretty much followed the same trajectory this year. Breece Hall exploded week 1, Conner took his 12 touches for 52 yards but did score, Bijan went for 111, even nathan carter had 46 that game, and last week the NE backfield went for 114 and 2 scores including one of those from Kent's TACOM from last week, Trey'veon Henderson.
  • The Panthers are allowing nearly 6 yards per touch and Achane is averaging over 17 of those a game and may see more passes with Hill out.
  • He's scored in 3 of 4, has over 90 total yards in 3 straight and even week 1 was 75 and a score so not bad at all.
RB62 Ollie Gordon II 16 3.81 11.88 0.19 0.38 0.5 1.88 0.06 8%
  • 15 touches in the last two games including some goal line work and one score.
  • he only has 15 snaps in each of the last two, however. He gets a touch on 1 out of every 2 snaps.
  • Still a great matchup and if the Dolphins get close to the end zone he may punch one in, I can't get to a C, but in a real bye week pinch he might hit.

QB19 Bryce Young 15 15 18.67 29.53 183 1.4 0.67 3.47 14.47 0.13 22%
B
  • Only the Cowboys allow more fantasy points to opposing QBs than the Dolphins. The Dolphins also allow that on 26 pass attempts per game, nobody over 30
  • Young hasn't lived up to the Dave Canales QB helper expectations we had after watching the end of last season, but he had a blow up game in week 2 in a similarily great spot
  • Nobody has more red zone attempts than Young, when they get down there, he passes

A
  • Only him and Puka have had *+ targets in every game
  • Gets over 25% of the teams targets
  • I could site the injuries the Panthers have with pass catchers might give him more work, but I'm not sure that even mattered when they were healthy.
  • The dolphins are a bit banged up in the secondary as well.

C
  • 8 targets last week
  • He had 6 total in the first 3 games. He had 5-42-1, other Carolina TEs had 5-40-1. Seems like Carolina found a way to exploit using the TE last week more than sustainable.
  • Dolphins are 3rd easiest matchup for TEs allowing 70+ and a score in back to back weeks and Tyler Warren also had 70+ in week 1

  • C if Chuba doesn't go
RB42 Chuba Hubbard 14 9.21 35.79 0.07 2 2.64 15.43 0.21 65%
C
  • Has been dealing with calf injury, missed practice WED and THUR with calf injury
  • Miami has given up over 150 yards per game with the lead back over 100 every week. That said, Jonathan Taylor, James Cook, Breece Hall are all pretty good and the 4th was the NE triplets, but that was the huge Stevenson week 2 where he went for 142 yards
  • It does feel like if Chuba goes he may be a bit limited and Dowdle may see more work. If he doesn't Dowdle gets the C but mind you Trevor Etienne took 7 carries last week as well. It may just be a backfield to avoid, but with 4 teams on bye, Dowdle may be a decent waiver wire plug in.
