Dolphins Breakdown

It is hard to trust Tua Tagovailoa this season already. Week one was awful, but week two was a nice turnaround. De'Von Achane has had two solid games and is the lead back for the Dolphins. Knowing they will be down in score or should be down in score, it is hard to see De'Von Achane get a ton of run in this game. I am not on any of the backup running backs. I could be interested in the full back of Alec Ingold at a very cheap price tag, who has earned DraftKings points in the last two games. At the wide receiver spot, Tyreek Hill had a great game last week, and we know the Bills' defence can be shredded. Jaylen Waddle is touchdown or bust, but his being healthy is a concern with him being questionable. The DraftKings price tag is something I don't like. Malik Washington is injured and questionable. Nick Westbrook Ikhine would have to step up, which is a great price tag. The tight end position is awful on the Dolphins. Tanner Conner and Julian Hill are the two tight ends to look at. I slightly like Tanner Conner after a four-target game in week one. The Dolphins' defense is a full-on fade in this matchup. Riley Patterson might be the only scorer on the Dolphins, and he is in play at a cheap price tag on DraftKings.

Bills Breakdown

Josh Allen is my captain all day in this game. The game will be in his hands, and he has all the upside in the world in this game. James Cook has his new contract, and he is running like a madman. The Dolphins' running defense has been awful, and this is a setup for a massive James Cook game. The backup running backs are certainly in play, especially if this game is a blowout. I lean slightly to Ty Johnson due to the passing game work over Ray Davis. Reggie Gilliam is like the Alec Ingold play at a cheap price tag. Pick and choose your dirt punt play. The receiver spot is the mystery spot we need to figure out. Keon Coleman has stepped up and is the receiver one on the team. The upside is certainly there over Khalil Shakir, who has had two dud games. Joshua Palmer is next in snaps and is the long-ball threat. He is the definition of a boom or bust DraftKings play. Elijah Moore has seen one reception in each game and is an option due to the designed rushing plays. Tyrell Shavers is the bare minimum price tag but is seeing snaps. He could be a key value if he records a catch for say 15 yards, and even a touchdown could make him optimal. The tight end spot is split between three guys who all see the same amount of snaps. Dalton Kincaid has the highest price tag between the three, but is hard to get to in my lines. Dawson Knox is a fade overall that I am not eyeing. Jackson Hawes has seen one reception in each game and is a similar play to Tyrell Shavers. I trust Tyrell Shavers more, though. Matt Prater is certainly in play at the kicker position. The Bills' defense is highly priced, and I might like it a little bit. It should be noted that Matt Milano and Ed Oliver, who are key defensive players are out for this game on the Bills' defense.

Who is your favorite captain?
