Miami Dolphins

Lamar Miller (Running Back): Miller did not do a whole lot to inspire hope in their first meeting with the Jets. Miller ended that game with 7 rushing attempts for 26 yards. The Jets give up the 8th fewest fantasy points to running backs all season long. Miller has a tough stretch of road against a Jets defense that has been brutal against the run.

Jarvis Landry/Rishard Matthews (Wide Receiver): The Dolphins wide receivers are in luck as it appears Darrelle Revis will not play this week leaving most of the number 1 work to Antonio Cromartie. In their last game both of these guys did relatively nothing however now with a shutdown corner out of the picture both Landry and Matthews options look a lot more promising. Landry is a solid WR1 this week.

New York Jets

Brandon Marshall/Eric Decker (Wide Receivers):  The Dolphins give up the 17th most fantasy points to wide receivers and they have a tall task in stopping both Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall. Marshall is a little banged up but both men have seen double digit targets in the past two weeks. When Chris Ivory plays better the Jets abandon the passing game except in the red zone. So if Ivory is able to run the ball on the Dolphins Decker and Marshall will see 4-5 less targets.

Chris Ivory (Running Back): The Dolphins are allowing the 3rd most fantasy points to running backs and in their last game Ivory gashed the Dolphins. Ivory ran for 29 rushing attempts that gained 166 yards and a touchdown the last time these two teams met so expect a heavy emphasis on the Dolphins to stop the run early.
