Jonnu Smith

MIA Tight End #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jonnu Smith caught 9-of-11 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 win over the Patriots.

We’ve been saying this for a few weeks now, but this Jonnu Smith production is not a fluke. He started getting more involved in the Dolphins’ offense when Tua Tagovailoa was sidelined, but the Dolphins have since morphed into a quick-hitting passing attack, which has favored Smith’s athleticism. He also possesses a physicality that few other Dolphins’ receivers have, which makes him an ideal red zone target. He is a locked-in TE1 the rest of the way.
Tyreek Hill

MIA Wide Receiver #10

Tyreek Hill caught 5-of-6 targets for 48 yards in a Week 12 win over the Patriots.

Since Tua Tagovailoa has come back from his concussion, the Dolphins have turned into a quick-hitting passing attack that rarely takes shots deep down the field. That has allowed them to move the ball easily and put up points, but it has taken some of the ceiling away from Tyreek’s fantasy value. Considering he was also matched up with Christian Gonzalez for much of this game, the veteran wasn’t able to get much going, and he’s more of a low-end WR1 as he plays through injuries in Miami’s new pass attack.
Jaylen Waddle

MIA Wide Receiver #17

Jaylen Waddle caught 8-of-9 passes for 144 yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 win over the Patriots.

We’ve been waiting for a “Waddle Day” all season, and we finally got it. The 25-year-old has topped 60 receiving yards just twice all season and this is the first time he’s done it since Week 1. The Dolphins now have four receivers they really like using in the passing game, which makes it tough to rely on Waddle every week, but he showed that he still has the juice. Waddle was easily able to get open against the Patriots’ cornerbacks, who were in man coverage often, and the Dolphins schemed up routes to get him ample yards after the catch. Waddle is worth having on your roster, but he remains a WR3 with all the competition for catches in Miami.
Raheem Mostert

MIA Running Back #31

Raheem Mostert rushed two times for five yards in a Week 12 win over the Patriots.

Yes, Mostert is battling through a hip injury, but he also seems to have been passed on the depth chart by rookie Jaylen Wright. The Dolphins didn’t have any carries inside the five-yard line today, which has been where Mostert has earned the most fantasy value over the last two seasons, but it’s hard to recommend holding onto him for just those situations unless you’re in a really deep league.
Jaylen Wright

MIA Running Back #25

Jaylen Wright rushed seven times for 28 yards in a Week 12 win over the Patriots.

Wright has emerged as the clear back-up in Miami with Raheem Mostert handling just two carries on the day. Wright has big-time speed and is capable of hitting a home run on any touch, which makes him worth stashing in case anything were to happen to De’Von Achane.
De'Von Achane

MIA Running Back #28

De’Von Achane rushed 10 times for 32 yards in a Week 12 win over the Patriots, adding 24 receiving yards and two touchdowns on three catches.

56 total yards on 13 touches is not exactly the type of explosive day we’re used to seeing from Achane, but the touchdowns will more than make up for it. Achane wasn’t able to find much room in the running game at all, but the Dolphins schemed him up for a few open looks out of the backfield, including an 11-yard touchdown catch where nobody was even on his side of the field. He remains a locked-in RB1 despite the lack of success on the ground today.
Tua Tagovailoa

MIA Quarterback #1

Tua Tagovailoa completed 20-of-40 passes for 317 yards and four touchdowns in a 34-15, Week 12 win over the Patriots.

As has been the case since Tagovailoa came back from his recent concussion, Miami rarely took deep shots down the field. The gameplan is clearly to get the ball out of Tua’s hands quickly, which prevents him from taking big hits and gives his receivers room to run after the catch. Not that anybody minds from a fantasy standpoint. This Dolphins offense is starting to click a bit, but we would caution that Tua’s two big games have come against the Patriots and a banged-up Titans secondary; however, next week’s showdown against the Packers may not pose much more of a threat if Jaire Alexander remains out.
Anthony Walker Jr.

MIA Linebacker #6

Dolphins LB Anthony Walker Jr. left Week 12 against the Lions with a hamstring injury.

Walker Jr. was backpedaling into coverage, came up hobbling, and asked for a substitute. He walked off the field with tears in his eyes and immediately got hugs from his teammates, which is likely not a good sign for his return this week. Tyrel Dodson will replace him in the starting lineup, but it could be a big loss for Miami over the middle of the field.
Kendall Fuller

MIA Defensive Back #29

Dolphins declared RB Jeff Wilson, Jr., CB Ethan Bonner, CB Kendall Fuller, LB Mohamed Kamara, OL Andrew Meyer, TE Jack Stoll, and WR Dee Eskridge inactive for Week 12 against the Patriots.

There are no major surprises here as Fuller could not make it back from a concussion he suffered in Week 10. 2023 second-round pick Cam Smith should see more snaps in his absence. The big names for Miami are the ones that are not here as both Alec Ingold and Terron Armstead will be active, which should be a big boost for De’von Achane and the running game.
Terron Armstead

MIA Tackle #72

Terron Armstead (knee) is questionable to play in Week 12 against the Patriots.

Armstead did the same thing in Week 11, receiving the questionable tag after resting through the practice week. He then suited up, as usual, on game day. Unless reports suggest otherwise, fantasy managers should expect Tua Tagovailoa to have his stud OT out there against the Patriots.
