Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins allowed 24 points and 352 yards of offense in their Week 17 win over the New England Patriots. The Dolphins recorded one sack, one fumble recovery, and an interception that they returned for a touchdown.

Fantasy Impact

The Dolphins had a huge day thanks to the turnovers and the score, but would have been a middling unit otherwise. The Dolphins should improve the defense this offseason, but they'd still figure unlikely to be a force for 2020. Keep an eye on their roster moves as they may be a viable option next season.

The Miami Dolphins allowed 35 points and 430 yards of offense in their Week 16 overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The defense recorded four sacks and one fumble recovery.

Fantasy Impact

The Dolphins have been a weak defense all season, but salvaged a half-decent performance with their four sacks. It would be inadvisable to use the Dolphins next week against the Patriots, who still have a bye week to play for.

The Miami Dolphins allowed 34 points and 412 yards of offense in their Week 15 loss to the New York Giants. The defense recorded one sack and racked up three interceptions.

Fantasy Impact

Not a bad day overall for one of the league's weaker defenses. The Dolphins remain one of the least desirable defenses for fantasy purposes, but they face off with the Bengals next week. It's still not enticing enough unless owners are desperate.

The Miami Dolphins allowed 22 points and 374 yards of offense in their Week 14 loss to the New York Jets. The defense recorded one sack, one fumble, and one interception.

Fantasy Impact

The Dolphins delivered a usable performance in this game, thanks to a pair of turnovers. For those who need to dumpster dive, the Dolphins get juicy matchups with the Giants and Bengals in the next two weeks. There are crazier ideas...

The Miami Dolphins allowed 31 points and 386 yards of offense in their Week 13 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The defense managed two sacks and an interception.

Fantasy Impact

The Dolphins defense still had a disappointing performance even with a couple of sacks and a pick. It's generally best not to use this unit for fantasy purposes, even in good matchups. Next week, they draw the Jets who just lost to the formerly-winless Bengals, but best to avoid anyway.
