The Dolphins’ offense remains one of the league’s most electric, and even with uneven team performances, Miami’s playmakers continue to deliver fantasy gold. The Saints counter with a disciplined, physical defense, but one that has surrendered chunk plays in recent weeks. Expect a competitive matchup where explosive athletes on both sides decide the outcome. Fantasy-wise, several names hold strong value, with a couple of sleepers worth keeping on the radar.
START ’EM
De’Von Achane — RB, Dolphins
Achane is way more than a FLEX here. His speed and big-play ability make him a matchup-proof RB2 with RB1 upside any time he gets 12+ touches. Expect a big day both on the ground and as a receiver. Miami will try to get him into space early and often.

Jaylen Waddle — WR, Dolphins
With defenses keying heavily on Tyreek Hill, Waddle has stepped into the WR1 role for Tua in recent weeks. He’s primed for a touchdown, averaging around 7 targets per game and looking confident after the catch. Strong WR1/WR2 play.
Chris Olave — WR, Saints (Start)
Olave remains the Saints’ top option and should see heavy volume again. His route running gives him the chance to find separation against a Dolphins secondary that can be beaten over the top. Expect high-end WR1 usage and a clear path to a productive outing.
FLEX PLAYS
Juwan Johnson — TE, Saints
Johnson has quietly started to pick up production and is earning trust in key situations. For fantasy managers in need of a tight end this week, he’s a perfect plug-and-play FLEX/TE option, especially in PPR.

Devin Neal — RB, Saints
Neal did a strong job as a reducer last week, complementing the backfield and showing burst that should earn him more work. He’s a solid sleeper, especially in deep leagues or if you need a last-minute RB FLEX. His role is trending up.
FINAL TAKEAWAY
This matchup leans toward offensive fireworks, and the biggest fantasy hits should come from Miami’s speed and New Orleans’ top target in Chris Olave. Achane and Waddle are must-starts, Olave is set for a heavy workload, and Juwan Johnson offers dependable TE production if you’re streaming. Devin Neal is the under-the-radar play who could pay off in deeper formats.
