The Miami Dolphins have some solid fantasy football waiver wire free agent options as pickups this week, as Charles Clay, Jarvis Landry, Brian Hartline and Damien Williams all could be strong picks with Mike Wallace for Ryan Tannehill as the Fins play against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night, as those games could give owners and early lead in matchups.
The Dolphins have been up and down this season and now that Lamar Miller is dealing with a shoulder, Williams and LaMichael James could pop up in this matchup. Tannehill has been working well with Clay and Jarvis Landry in recent weeks and they could be sleeper options against the Bills. Tannehill has been playing better as of late and the Dolphins are right in the mix and that makes this game very important for the Dolphins.
Landry has been stepping up for the Dolphins and he comes in after catching seven balls on 10 targets last week for 53 yards. Landry has 354 yards and 37 catches this season and over his past two games he has 11 catches for nearly 100 yards and a TD. Landry has shown his athleticism and along with Brian Hartline and Charles Clay, he has the chance to put up numbers. Clay has been working well this season with Tannehill and he has been a sleeper tight end this year. Clay now has 34 catches for 315 yards and two TDs this season.
Lamar Miller may be out or limited this week and that gives Damien Williams and LaMichael James the chance to get some carries. Miller has been solid this season, but now he could be out with an injury and since the game is on Thursday, there is a good chance the Dolphins will keep him out or they will limit him for the matchup.
Miller has 528 yards this season and five touchdowns and he also has been a force in the passing game, making 22 catches for 140 yards. Miller had a so-so season last year with 709 rushing yards and two TDs along with 26 receptions for 170 yards and he is on pace to pass those numbers this season. Miller will set career highs if he passes those and he has been very consistent this season, averaging nearly five yards per game, which is a stark improvement from last year. Miller has only had one 100-yard game this season, but he had not been under 49 yards in any game apart from one before the Week 10 matchup.
Williams had 37 yards last week and rushed seven times and he touched the ball 10 times overall with three catches. Williams could be a solid option for the Dolphins and fantasy owners on Sunday, as he has plenty of speed and could see more carries than Thomas or James. Williams has 100 yards in limited time this season and he is just behind Thomas, who has 115 yards in six games this year. Williams out carried Thomas in the game last week, as Thomas had just five carries for 14 yards and he also lost a fumble.
