Miami

Dolphins

Beckham (knee) made his season debut and ran a route on just 28 percent of Miami’s drop backs. OBJ worked as the distant WR3 option behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who combined for a 55 percent target share against the Patriots. Beckham is a long way from fantasy relevance, though he could see his role grow following the team’s Week 6 bye.

Holland’s absence is a brutal loss for the Dolphins’ struggling defense. The unit has surrendered 24 explosive pass plays this season, tying for 10th-most in the NFL. The Dolphins are on bye in Week 6 but face the Colts in Week 7. Expect Shane Steichen to attack the unit’s downfield coverage.

Huntley was much better against the Patriots than he was last week against the Titans. He appeared far more comfortable in the pocket and was able to execute Mike McDaniel’s scripted plays early in the game. Huntley targeted Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle on a combined 17 of his 31 pass attempts. He could get one more start for the Dolphins if Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is unable to return following the team’s Week 6 bye.

Smith saw surprising involvement in Week 5 after failing to record a reception in Tyler Huntley’s first start against the Titans last week. Smith was tied for second in targets with Jaylen Waddle. Smith’s route participation and pass game involvement vacillates too much for him to remain a reliable fantasy option, however. Miami has a bye in Week 6.

Wright saw extended run in Week 5 after De’Von Achane was ruled out of the game with a brain injury he suffered in the first quarter. Wright out-rushed Raheem Mostert despite Mostert seeing 18 rushing attempts on the day. Wright appeared explosive throughout, notching a 6.6 yards per carry and looking a lot like Achane at times. Wright should be rostered in all fantasy leagues in case Achane misses time following Miami’s Week 6 bye.

Waddle had a couple early receptions on scripted plays but faded in the second half as the Dolphins leaned hard on the run against a terrible New England rush defense. He’s coming off a 26-yard outing against the Seahawks. Waddle won’t be a reliable fantasy option until Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returns to the Miami lineup.

Mostert took over as Miami’s lead back with De’Von Achane sidelined with a brain injury. Coming off a chest injury, Mostert looked as explosive as ever, ripping off a few lengthy runs, including an 18-yarder in the second half. Jaylen Wright had 13 rushes behind Mostert in an extremely run-heavy game plan. Achane will have the bye week to clear the league’s concussion protocol, but if he doesn’t, Mostert would be a top-12 fantasy option in Week 7.

Hill’s nine targets led the team, and he narrowly missed a long touchdown in the second half. The Dolphins made a concerted effort to get the ball into Hill’s hands early on. Tyler Huntley, in his second start for Miami, appeared far more comfortable than he did in Week 4 against the Titans. If Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is able to return, Hill could get back to his dominant WR1 ways when the Dolphins return from their bye in Week 7.

Achane took a shot to the head on an end-around in the first quarter. He was seen in the fencing position, which often indicates a brain injury. Achane was slow to make his way to the blue medical tent and was then escorted to the Miami locker room. Achane will enter the concussion protocol and has a real chance of missing Week 6. Raheem Mostert would function as the Dolphins’ workhorse if Achane were to miss time.

Achane took a wicked shot to the head on an end-around run in the first quarter. Achane was seen in the dreaded fencing position shortly after the head shot, which often indicates a brain injury. He was helped to the blue medical tent and would seem unlikely to return in Week 5 against the Patriots. Raheem Mostert would slot in as the team’s RB1 if Achane misses time.
