**Saints at Dolphins**(-5.5, 41.5)1:00 (2 Viewers)

Kamara out
Olave possibly out
Shough enough, it’s Taysom Hill time!

Miami is a big defensive candidate in the fantasy world, but for whatever reason I see them falling on their face.

Looking forward to seeing a well rested Achane. Miami has been looking better and could put up a nice win here to keep some momentum.
 
Miami is getting Darren Waller (yay) and Austin Jackson (meh) back for this one. I do think Waller is eased in a lot and think he's TD or bust this week. Good deal of upside going forward though. For this week, I think its a nice week for Achane (particularly as a receiver) and a really nice week for Waddle. The Saints CBs are all more physical than fast, so if McDaniel can scheme up some free releases, I think Waddle should be open a lot, especially against Brandon Staley's infinite zone defense.

I think Olave is playing, but back spasms are the type of injury, where it can flare up any time, I'd still treat him as a top-20 WR off volume, but the floor is zero, and its not really a good matchup. I think the run game is ineffective in this one for NO, and while I'm not saying they are tanking by any means, I think NO is aware they pick 3rd right now.

Miami-28
New Orleans-14

I posted it in the Olave thread… but of note is the Saints pulling up a practice squad WR today. Doesn’t mean Olave isn’t playing and could just be insurance… but not the most warming news. Might not change your projection either way.
 
Quietly Juwan Johnson has turned in a top 8 fantasy tight end season. Ahead of Bowers and Andrews. Miami has struggled with tight ends and Olave is dinged up. Big game coming for the tight end.

Dolphins 28
Juwan 21

Really needed Olave and Neal to get me some points today. Shough is killing any chance of that. And to make it worse, my opponent has Miami Defense. Absolutely brutal.
 
Kellen Moore is starting to ride that line between:

a) having legit reasons the Saints are playing so poorly, and

b) establishing that he’s not head coach material

Gotta keep remembering that Matt Campbell started 4-19 in Detroit. I’m sure there were calls for his head, too.
 
What was going on after the big Rasul Douglas interception in the 1st Half?
Miami is up 13-0, time to hit the gas, they're already set up in Saints' territory after a big return by Douglas
Miami starts to just loligag around with 1 timeout left, they gain 9 yds w/Achane on 1st down and they burn their last timeout with about a minute left, WHY?! :rant:
2nd and 1 they run the ball and don't make it and the clock is RUNNING and then on 3rd down they manage a FD but all the time is gone and they settle for a FG :rant:

Should have been 24-0 at the Half but they settled for field goals and it left the door open and that's why things get tight int he 2nd Half, Miami was lucky to win this football game.
