Both teams come into this one trending in opposite directions. The Falcons are looking to bounce back after a disappointing loss, while the Dolphins are in freefall with locker room issues and offensive inconsistency. This matchup could be a get-right game for Atlanta’s playmakers — and a tough test for fantasy managers still holding out hope for Miami.
🔥 Quick Start Table
| Team | Start ‘Em 🔥 | Sit ‘Em 🚫 | Sleeper 😴 |
| Falcons | Bijan Robinson | Tyler Allgeier | Kyle Pitts |
| Dolphins | Devon Achane | Tua Tagovailoa | Jaylen Waddle |
🦅 Atlanta Falcons
Start — Bijan Robinson (RB)
Even in a “quiet” game, Bijan finds ways to produce. He totaled 50+ yards through the air and found the end zone last week. Expect him to be heavily featured again, with a real shot at multiple touchdowns against a worn-down Miami front.
Sit — Tyler Allgeier (RB)
Allgeier’s usage continues to plummet, seeing only four touches and zero receptions last week. There’s no reason to force him into your lineup until his role improves.
Sleeper — Kyle Pitts (TE)
With 10 targets last week, Pitts looks to finally be regaining the Falcons’ trust. If bye weeks are biting you, Pitts is a solid streaming sleeper who could easily find the end zone this week.

🐬 Miami Dolphins
Start — Devon Achane (RB)
Achane remains one of the few bright spots in this Dolphins offense. He ripped off 80+ rushing yards last week and continues to show burst and vision. As long as he’s getting touches, he’s a must-start flex or RB2 with upside.

Sit — Tua Tagovailoa (QB)
Something is off in Miami. Tua hasn’t looked comfortable, and after publicly calling out teammates, the locker room seems cold. Until the offense finds its rhythm again, sit Tua and look elsewhere for consistency.
Sleeper — Jaylen Waddle (WR)
Waddle disappointed last week, but with Miami likely playing from behind, he could see increased target volume. He’s a flex-worthy play for managers dealing with injuries or bye weeks — just don’t expect vintage Waddle numbers yet.
🔮 Final Takeaway
The Falcons should control this game with a balanced attack led by Bijan. Miami’s only real fantasy hope lies in Achane breaking a big one — otherwise, it’s another long Sunday for the Dolphins.
