DST - Miami Dolphins
Availability
The Miami Dolphins D/ST allowed 31 points while failing to record a sack or a turnover in a 31-10 loss to the Bills in Week 2's Thursday night game.
Fantasy Impact
The Dolphins didn't have an answer for James Cook, who scored three touchdowns in the game. Miami's defense will now have nine days to regroup ahead of a Week 3 matchup against the Seahawks.
The Dolphins D/ST turned in a steady performance Sunday, forcing one turnover and registering three sacks in a Week 1 20-17 win over the Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
The unit came up with defensive stops in pivotal situations, coming back from a 14-0 deficit to eventually triumph on a 52-yard field goal as time expired. The defense will be tasked with keeping superstar quarterback Josh Allen in check when the y face off against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2 Thursday night.
The Dolphins D/ST allowed 473 yards and a punt return touchdown in their Week 18 loss.
Fantasy Impact
The Dolphins' defense forced three timely Josh Allen turnovers, but they were unable to finish the job in the second half. They gave up a game-changing 96-yard punt return touchdown to Deonte Harty, and they let the Bills go 74 yards in the fourth quarter to take the lead. Next week, they will go on the road to Patrick Mahomes.
The Dolphins' D/ST logged one sack and one fumble recovery while allowing 56 points in a blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
Miami's defense hasn't been considered much of a powerhouse this year, but they had an absolutely awful performance on Sunday. They allowed the Ravens to score 56 total points over the course of the day, and that was led by QB Lamar Jackson, who totaled five touchdowns on the day while having a perfect passer rating. To make matters worse, Bradley Chubb also suffered a non-contact knee injury that's feared to be a torn ACL, and if that's the case, that will be a very tough blow for Miami's front seven for the rest of this season and possible part of next season.
The Dolphins D/ST turned in a solid performance in Week 16, forcing one turnover (one fumble recovery) and registering four sacks in a 22-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
The unit was able to make stops when it mattered most Sunday, holding the Cowboys to 350 total offensive yards in a winning effort. The unit will look for another solid performance against a physical Baltimore Ravens offense in Week 17.
