In Week 5 of the NFL season, the New England Patriots (1-3) will take on the Miami Dolphins (1-3) at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots are looking to bounce back after a tough loss to the 49ers, while the Dolphins are looking to survive their 4 game streak without Tua. In what should be an interesting matchup, there is always room for top performers.
With this in mind, in this article, we’ll break down the top DFS picks for this matchup.
New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins Start’Em
These are our recommendations for you to add to your lineup.
Tyreek Hill, WR, Miami Dolphins (DraftKings: $7.6K, FanDuel: $8.7K)
Tyreek Hill is a game-changer for the Dolphins and has been electric this season. With his speed and ability to create separation, he is a must-start against a Patriots secondary that has struggled to contain elite receivers. Even though Tua is not starting, if anyone can carry the offense, it´s a hill.
Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, New England Patriots (DraftKings: $6K, FanDuel: $7.1K)
Rhamondre Stevenson has been a key player in the Patriots’ offense, providing support for both rushing and receiving. With the Dolphins’ defense often focusing on the pass, Stevenson could find plenty of opportunities to exploit mismatches. Look for the Patriots to base their attack on Stevenson´s play.
New England Patriots vs Miami Dolphins Sit’Em
These are players that for any circumstance are not projected to have large fantasy production.
Jacoby Brissett, QB, New England Patriots (DraftKings: $4.9K, FanDuel: $6.8K)
Much like last week, Brissett has shown he struggles to put up points on the board. It is only a matter of time until Drake Maye starts. In the meantime, don´t expect too much from Brissett against a talented Dolphins offence.
Jonnu Smith, TE, Miami Dolphins (DraftKings: $3.2K, FanDuel: $5.2K)
Even though Jonnu Smith returns to New England to play the Patriots, don´t expect his participation to be protagonistic. With sub-par QB play, the Dolphins will likely struggle to spread the ball through the air.
Total Apex Lock of the Game
De´Von Achane, Miami Dolphins (DraftKings: $7.2K, FanDuel: $7.5K)
With Tua injured, the Dolphins will focus on their explosive rushing attack led by De´Von Achance. In all likelihood, the Dolphins will use him as a workhorse to carry the team’s offesne and produce points. He is most assuredly a start.
Total Apex Fade of the Game
Hunter Henry, TE, New England Patriots (DraftKings: $3.9K, FanDuel: $4.9K)
Even though Hunter Henry has been the most consistent receiver on the Patriots corps this year, don´t expect too much from him. The Dolphins know this and will therefore look to consistently cover him as he is the Patriots’ important threat. He´ll likely see limited production and therefore is not a reliable fantasy option. It’s better to explore other tight-end choices that have a more prominent role.
