Miami Dolphins
Lamar Miller (Running Back): Miller was outperformed on the ground as far as the running duties go by Jay Ajayi. Ajayi was expected to be the workhorse running back as his explosive style and ability to catch the ball out of the backfield made him a versatile and dangerous threat. Injuries have delayed his debut but clearly he will be trying to steal some of Miller's carries. Miller had 16 rushing attempts that gained 43 yards. He also caught 6 targets for 50 yards and a touchdown. Miller should remain the top back in Miami, for now.
Jarvis Landry/Rishard Matthews (Wide Receiver): Landry got incredibly lucky for the Dolphins and his fantasy owners as he caught a tipped ball in the end zone for a touchdown. This automatically made anything else he did on the day icing on the cake. Landry caught 7 of 12 targets for 52 yards and had a 16 yard rushing attempt. Matthews remained the most targeted wide receiver besides Landry catching 5 out of 6 targets for 93 yards.
Philadelphia Eagles
Jordan Matthews (Wide Receiver): Matthews was lucky to leave this game without a major injury. Mark Sanchez floated a pass for Jordan Matthews into traffic forcing him to be lit up by Dolphins defender Jamar Taylor. The hit was straight to Matthews's ribs as he was slow to get up. Matthews would finish the game with only 3 catches for 21 yards.
DeMarco Murray (Running Backs): Murray had a solid day from the field finishing his day with 22 rushing attempts. Murray gained 61 yards on the ground and 58 in the air hauling in 6 receptions. Murray's workload in the passing game continues to keep him relevant in fantasy even if he struggles on the ground.
