Dolphins Defense A Risky Streaming Option For Week 8

2 weeks ago

The Miami Dolphins DST has been a tale of two sides in 2024 and will look to limit the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. On one side, they are one of the best defenses in the NFL at defending the pass. On the other hand, they are one of the worst at defending the run. On average, Miami has allowed 21.7 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs compared to 12.5 points to wide receivers. To make matters worse, defensive tackle Zach Sieler (eye) will be sidelined due to an orbital fracture he suffered in practice this week. Miami has a home matchup against the Cardinals in Week 8. The Arizona offense ranks fourth in total rushing yards and third in yards per carry. The Dolphins are ranked 16th among DSTs in the latest RotoBaller rankings, making them mainly a deep-league option in Week 8.
