Miami @ Seattle
Team Totals: Seahawks 23, Dolphins 18.5
With 2022 seventh-rounder Skylar Thompson standing in for Tua Tagovailoa (concussion, I.R.), expectations for Dolphins skill players should be dramatically reduced. Including a January 2023 playoff start against the Bills, Thompson’s career marks are 86-of-164 passing (52%) for 834 yards (5.1 YPA), a 2:5 TD-to-INT ratio, 11 sacks taken, and 17/28/0 rushing. After the Fins signed Tyler Huntley off Baltimore’s practice squad, I’m betting against Thompson keeping Miami’s starting job for the duration of Tua’s I.R. stint. … I’m dropping Tyreek Hill into WR2 territory and Jaylen Waddle onto the WR3/flex fringe. In 2022, Hill averaged 46 scoreless yards in Thompson’s three near-full games. Waddle averaged 37 yards. … On extra rest following last Thursday night’s loss to Buffalo, De’Von Achane should be geared up for a full workload with Raheem Mostert (chest) and Jeff Wilson Jr. (oblique) banged up. In Weeks 1-2, Achane parlayed touch counts of 17 and 29 into PPR finishes of RB3 (vs. JAX) and RB2 (vs. BUF). Achane leads all RBs in targets (14), receptions (14), and receiving yards (145). Achane was also Thompson’s most-targeted player off the bench last week; they hooked up four times on four passes for 48 yards against the Bills.
