Miami @ Atlanta
Team Totals: Falcons 26, Dolphins 21.5
Tua Tagovailoa is a mere QB2 in Week 8’s trip to Atlanta, whose defense under Raheem Morris has yet to allow a single opposing quarterback to exceed 180 passing yards through six games. After watching Tua’s 2025 tape, QB guru Kurt Warner this week suggested that Tagovailoa has lost his confidence, and that the Dolphins’ offense is broken. Red-zone go-to guy Darren Waller (pec) is now on I.R., while Jaylen Waddle was limited in practice due to soreness in both hamstrings. … De’Von Achane is easily the Dolphins’ most confident fantasy bet against a run-funnel Falcons defense doling out 4.55 yards per carry to enemy backs. Achane ranks second among RBs in targets (43), second in catches (32), and third in receiving yards (211), keeping his floor safe even if the woebegone Dolphins fall far behind.
