Miami Dolphins Rumors: Lamar Miller Starts After Injury, DeVante Parker, Jordan Cameron Fantasy Sleepers For Ryan Tannehill? Ndamukong Suh Struggles

The Miami Dolphins had Lamar Miller and Jordan Cameron active despite injuries in Week 3, but those two did not help Ryan Tannehill much as the Bills won big over the Fins. DeVante Parker, Cameron and Rishard Matthews are sleeper fantasy options moving into Week 4, but only if Tannehill and the defense with Ndamukong Suh can turn things around against the Jets in London.

The Dolphins signed Suh to a major contract in the offseason and added names like Cameron, Parker, Kenny Stills and Greg Jennings on offense, but so far things have not played out as planned. Head coach Joe Philbin said after the game that the team was disappointed after losing 41-14 to the Bills, but that he has confidence in Tannehill and the offense. Miami played without Branden Albert and that made an impact on the offensive line and moving forward the team is hoping that he can return.

Miller came into the week with an ankle injury and Cameron was dealing with a groin issue, but both players were able to suit up and play on Sunday. Miller had 65 total yards in the game with 38 yards rushing and he has continued to be off to a slow start for the Dolphins. The team needs to get Miller going to help open up the passing game and he should be closer to 100 percent next week after dealing with the ankle issue.

Cameron only had three catches in the game against the Bills, but he is a promising fantasy option, as he was the third most targeted player in the game for Miami. Cameron will continue to get looks from Ryan Tannehill and while the matchup with the Jets next week is a tough one, tight ends have found a way to put up numbers on that unit. Cameron can be a safety net for Tannehill and the team likely will try and get him more involved in the offense.

Tannehill had 297 yards in the game against the Bills, but he also had three interceptions and Miami needs to find a way to cut down on the turnovers overall. The Dolphins were forced to abandon the run early and with Albert out, Tannehill did not have much time to get his throws off. The offense needs to play better, but the defense also has been underachieving. Suh has made an impact, but he has not done enough and the team only has seven sacks overall as a defense in three games and that has to improve.

The Miami Dolphins were hit hard by the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in Week 3 and the team is now 1-2 on the season after coming into 2015 with high expectations. The defense has not played great after adding Ndamukong Suh, while the offense with Ryan Tannehill has not done enough with Lamar Miller, Jarvis Landry, Rishard Matthews and DeVante Parker. The Dolphins were embarrassed by the Bills and the team was down 27-0 at halftime and did not get much else going in the second half. Joe Philbin is now firmly on the hot seat heading into Week 4.
