Prisco predicted another blow-up game for De'Von Achane in Madrid, pointing to a Commanders defense that he says 'doesn't cover, tackle or rush the passer.' Washington has surrendered 5.9 yards per play and the league’s highest rate of 20-plus-yard runs since Week 6, while Miami is fresh off a 400-yard showing against Buffalo. With Marcus Mariota starting for Washington, Prisco expects Miami to dictate tempo, giving Mike McDaniel room to feed Achane in both zone-run and perimeter passing concepts. He forecasted a 31-21 Dolphins win and labeled Achane a priority DFS play given his game-breaking speed and a favorable −2.5 point spread that should keep Miami aggressive.

Rohit Ponnaiya recommended betting Over 78.5 receiving yards for Jaylen Waddle versus Washington in Madrid. With Tyreek Hill out for the season, Waddle has become the Dolphins' top target and has topped 80 yards in five of his last six games. Washington surrenders 177.9 receiving yards per game to wide receivers (second-worst) and ranks dead last in defensive dropback EPA. Injuries to starting corners Marshon Lattimore and Trey Amos further weaken an already leaky unit. Given Waddle’s recent form and the matchup, Ponnaiya expects him to eclipse the 78.5-yard total with room to spare.

Dan Dobish recommended a two-step ladder on De'Von Achane, backing Over 121.5 rushing-plus-receiving yards at -115 and sprinkling the 150+ line at +225. Dobish pointed to Achane’s 174 rushing yards and 51 receiving yards last week, a performance that pushed his season average to 110.5 scrimmage yards. Achane has cleared 121.5 yards three times and hit 150+ twice despite averaging only 19.2 touches (ninth-most among RBs). The matchup is the clincher: Washington ranks 30th in total defense (394.6 YPG), 31st in yards per play allowed (6.4), and 23rd in yards per rush (4.6). Dobish expects Mike McDaniel to feed his speed back and “annihilate” an old, slow Commanders unit, making both rungs of the ladder live.

Moe Moton laid the 2.5 with Miami on the Madrid neutral field, citing a massive injury gap. Washington will be without QB Jayden Daniels and WR Terry McLaurin, has surrendered 38.5 points per game over the last month and was outscored 72-29 in Marcus Mariota’s two starts. Moton believes the trio of Tua Tagovailoa, De'Von Achane and Jaylen Waddle will overwhelm a soft Commanders defense that has allowed at least 28 points in four straight contests.

Mader likes the Over 79.5 rushing yards for De'Von Achane, projecting 82.0 yards with a 53.2% hit rate at -112. Achane owns a 6.0+ YPC clip with multiple 20-yard bursts in recent weeks and typically sees 12-16 carries—volume that climbs when Miami is favored and searching for chunk plays with Tyreek Hill sidelined. Washington’s front has hemorrhaged outside-zone explosives and ranks among the league’s worst in run defense success rate. If Miami controls the Madrid matchup as projected, Achane’s 14-18 carry path easily puts him on track to cash. The only pitfall is a possible backfield rotation or game turning into a rout that siphons late touches.

Dan Mader backed the Over 78.5 receiving yards for Jaylen Waddle, noting a projection of 83.7 yards with a 56.4% cover probability at -111. Since Tyreek Hill’s season-ending injury, Waddle has morphed into Miami’s clear WR1, logging 96-100% of snaps, 38-42 routes and a 28-32% target share. His yards per route run has spiked while producing 80+ yards in two of his last three full-speed games. Miami’s home pace and 24-26-point implied total create extra play volume, and Washington’s zone unit ranks bottom-five in explosive-pass rate allowed and is notoriously soft against motion receivers. The only real concerns are bracket coverage and a fourth-quarter slowdown if the Dolphins boat-race the Commanders, but Mader still sees enough volume, route diversity and matchup juice to clear the number.

Ben Solak pounded OVER 24.5 Miami team points at +100 for the Madrid matchup with Washington. He highlighted the Commanders’ defensive woes—30th in EPA/drive, 20th in points per drive, worst explosive-pass rate allowed, and second-worst YAC-OE yielded—while noting only Cincinnati gives up more YAC overall. With Dan Quinn newly on the headset but no speed at the second level, Solak expects Mike McDaniel’s motion-heavy scheme to create free yards for Tyreek and Waddle and sees no schematic fix that can paper over Washington’s personnel holes.

Everett backed Miami -2.5 in Madrid, pointing out that Washington has surrendered 380+ yards six times—including each of the last five—while tumbling to 3-7. He calls the Dolphins “dangerous when they can run it” and expects the rushing attack to thrive against a Commanders front that can’t stop explosive plays. With both teams 3-7 but trending opposite directions, Everett projects a narrow Miami win and cover.

Gary Pearson backed the Dolphins -2.5 in Washington with a four-star confidence rating. He pointed out that Miami is coming off its best outing of the season, a 17-point win over Buffalo in Week 10, and noted the quirky pattern of alternating blowouts that has kept the betting market modest here. Pearson’s biggest angle is the Commanders’ free-fall: five straight losses, four by at least 21, and a defense he described as "arguably the worst unit" during that stretch. With Marcus Mariota just 1-3 since taking over at quarterback and Washington’s locker-room morale deteriorating, Pearson expects Miami’s speed to overwhelm. Bettors can grab -2.5 at -115 (FanDuel) or -120 (DraftKings), an implied win probability of 53.49%; a $10 wager returns $8.70 at the best price.

Ponnaiya took Under 59.5 rushing yards on De'Von Achane, citing a dramatically improved Baltimore run defense and an unfavorable game script. Since their Week 7 bye, the Ravens have limited the Rams to 74 rushing yards on 23 carries and the Bears to 92 yards on 23 attempts (including a 22-yard scramble in garbage time). Baltimore allows just 3.5 yards per carry on inside and outside zone concepts, the design used on more than 68% of Achane’s runs. With the Ravens favored by 7.5 points, Ponnaiya anticipates Miami will abandon the ground game if forced to chase points. EV Analytics projects only 50.99 rushing yards for Achane, reinforcing the under play.

Chris R. Farley grabbed Miami +7.5, calling the number too rich for a Baltimore side that has delivered only one complete game in two months. He reminded readers that the Ravens “smoked” Chicago after their bye yet still surrendered 372 total yards and allowed the Bears to convert 6-of-13 third downs while a turnover and missed field goal masked more defensive leaks. Even with Lamar Jackson expected back, Farley needs to see more before trusting a unit giving up 30 points per game on the road. On the flip side, he pointed to Miami’s 34-10 dismantling of Atlanta—338-213 yardage edge, 141 rushing yards, and a pristine 20-of-26, 205-yard, 4-TD, 0-INT line from Tua Tagovailoa—as a potential confidence catalyst for Mike McDaniel’s club. With Hard Rock Stadium providing home-field comfort and the Ravens still searching for their old defensive identity, Farley believes the Dolphins are live to keep this within a touchdown or spring the outright upset.

Osborne added Tua Tagovailoa Over 1.5 passing touchdowns and Over 217.5 yards to his same-game parlay. He argued Tua is coming off his best outing of the year and has already cleared two TD passes in five of eight games. The matchup is friendly: Baltimore is allowing 250.7 passing yards a week, ranks 30th in pressure percentage, and sits 25th or worse in yards per play, opponent third-down conversion rate and red-zone TD rate. Osborne expects the Ravens’ lack of heat up front to give Tua clean pockets, letting Miami’s vertical weapons exploit a secondary that has been burned for 57+ combined points in every Lamar start. All of that fits with his overall game-total Over thesis, making Tua’s touchdown and yardage props a correlated bet.

Tipster faded Tua Tagovailoa with Under 219.5 passing yards (-115). Baltimore ranks top-five in pressure rate and has limited opposing QBs to under 210 yards in four of seven games. Tagovailoa’s 10 interceptions already and a potentially shorthanded offensive line bolster the case for a conservative, ground-heavy Miami script.

LM Tipster took De'Von Achane Over 57.5 rushing yards (-115), reasoning that Miami will lean on the run to protect Tua. Achane’s 4.42 speed has produced three runs of 40+ yards already this season, and Baltimore is missing interior run-stuffer Justin Madubuike. One explosive carry could push Achane over the prop line.

Tipster wagered on Jaylen Waddle Over 64.5 receiving yards (-115). Baltimore’s secondary has struggled defending deep posts, allowing a league-high six completions of 30+ yards on that route. If the Dolphins fall behind early, Tipster expects elevated fourth-quarter volume for Waddle to eclipse his yardage line.

Cory Bonini suggested grabbing Tua Tagovailoa 2-plus passing touchdowns at +117. The Ravens have coughed up the sixth-most QB touchdown passes among teams playing this week, giving one up every 12.4 completions with a 5.5% TD rate against. Tagovailoa has thrown multiple scores in five of eight outings and is coming off a season-high four-TD performance. Only three quarterbacks have hit this prop versus Baltimore in 2025, which explains the friendly odds, but Bonini argued that a potential early Ravens lead would force Miami to lean heavier on Tua’s arm. Even two short red-zone flips to De'Von Achane as an extension of the run game could cash the ticket.

Cory Bonini recommended betting Jaylen Waddle to clear 60-plus receiving yards at ‑139. He pointed out that Baltimore is surrendering the ninth-most yards per game to wide receivers (159) in 2025, with most of that damage coming on short-area throws—the Ravens rank fifth-best in yards per reception, so volume, not bombs, is the path. Eight different receivers have already cracked the 60-yard mark against them in seven contests. Waddle has reached 60 yards in four of eight games, including three of his last four, and Bonini noted a more aggressive pivot to 70-plus yards at +110 for bettors chasing a bigger payout.

Ryan Wooden relayed that the SportsLine Projection Model has De'Von Achane pegged as an anytime-TD smash even at -150 on FanDuel. Achane has found the end zone seven times in eight games this season and now owns 30 touchdowns across 36 career outings. Wooden emphasized that Achane’s passing-game role (multiple targets in every game) cushions him against negative game script if Baltimore jumps out early. The model projects 1.04 touchdowns for Achane—roughly a 100% likelihood—while the betting line suggests only a 40% chance, creating what Wooden calls one of the biggest edges on the board.

Calling Miami a live underdog, Chirimbes ignored the 1-6 record and took the +7.5 outright, predicting a 33-31 upset. He expects a pride game from Tua Tagovailoa after a tumultuous week and sees a let-down spot for Atlanta, which turns to Kirk Cousins while rookie Michael Penix Jr. nurses a bone bruise. The change forces the Falcons to shrink their playbook, and Chirimbes believes Miami’s veteran roster capitalizes on the short-notice QB switch.

Burrell recommended Miami +7.5 at Atlanta, stressing that the 1-6 Dolphins are playing loose and unpredictable— a profile he loves when catching points. Despite the record, Mike McDaniel still has elite team speed that can create explosive plays against a Falcons defense vulnerable to them. Meanwhile, Atlanta moves the ball but ranks among the league’s worst in red-zone TD rate, repeatedly settling for field goals. That inefficiency is precisely how favorites win but fail to cover. With the critical half-point hook above a full touchdown, Burrell believes Miami only needs a handful of chunk plays—and a turnover-free afternoon—to sneak in the back door or even steal the game outright.

Tuley jumped on Dolphins +7.5 after the line crossed the key number. The look-ahead was Falcons ‑6.5, yet Atlanta was bet past a touchdown even though it lost 20-10 at San Francisco. Miami’s 31-6 debacle in Cleveland created the move, but Tuley expects a max-effort response with coach Mike McDaniel and several starters under employment pressure. He doubts Atlanta’s ability to cover as sizeable favorites, citing the Falcons’ own inconsistency—impressive 24-14 upset of Buffalo followed by a flop in Santa Clara.

Brad Evans said to smash the over on De'Von Achane’s 37.5-yard receiving prop, pointing to an expected negative game script with Buffalo laying 12.5 points. Evans noted that when Tua Tagovailoa feels pressure he habitually checks down to Achane, giving the back a 23.7% target share through two weeks – second-highest on the team – while averaging 20 routes, 5.5 catches and 56 receiving yards. Although the Bills have yielded only 51 receiving yards total to running backs this season, Evans reminded readers that Achane burned this defense for 15 grabs and 127 yards across two meetings last year. He views Achane as the one dependable Dolphin and expects Miami to trail early, forcing “Dump-Off De'Von” past the 37.5-yard mark.

Jay Canale took Over 52.5 rushing yards on De'Von Achane at -118. Achane has topped this number in all four career meetings with Buffalo and has opened 2025 with 72 and 122 total yards despite the Dolphins’ offensive struggles. The Bills will be without Pro Bowl defenders Ed Oliver and Matt Milano, a duo that anchors their run front. Canale expects those absences to create wider lanes, allowing Achane to remain the lone bright spot and sail past the mid-50s threshold.

Steve Seagrave recommended Tyreek Hill OVER 22.5 yards for his longest reception at ‑110. According to Seagrave, Tua Tagovailoa has been force-feeding Hill—evident in a 47-yard bomb against New England last week after a quieter opener where Hill’s long catch was 21 yards. Buffalo held Jets receivers in check in Week 2, but their secondary showed cracks in a Week 1 shootout when Zay Flowers (39 yards) and DeAndre Hopkins (29 yards) both cleared this number. Hill himself logged a 28-yard grab the last time he visited Orchard Park. Corner Christian Benford won’t shadow him all game, and Hill’s world-class speed gives him a separation edge on any coverage. While thunderstorms are possible, Seagrave noted the receiver always ‘knows where he’s going,’ giving him an advantage on slick turf. With Buffalo favored by 12.5, Miami is projected to chase points, setting up multiple down-field shots to Hill and making one reception of 23+ yards the most likely outcome.

Michael Rathburn said the betting market has run the Buffalo number too far, noting the Bills opened at -8.5 in May, touched -10.5 on 9/9, and re–opened at -12.5/-13.5 on 9/14 after Buffalo’s easy Week-2 win over the Jets and Miami’s ugly loss to Indianapolis. He reminded readers that 12.5 blows through the key numbers of 10 and 11 and is unusually rich for an AFC East game where familiarity normally keeps things close. Rathburn’s read is that the current line reflects a pure public fade of the 0-2 Dolphins rather than any meaningful matchup change, creating value in grabbing the Dolphins plus the points before sharp money shows up.

Kaylor flagged Tyreek Hill as a must-have ceiling play even though he has not found the end zone yet in 2025. He cited Hill’s Hall-of-Fame resume—808 career catches, 11,247 yards, 82 receiving TDs, plus 819 rushing yards and seven more scores—as proof the explosion is coming. While 2024 showed mild regression (81-959-6), Hill still opened 2025 with 10 grabs for 149 yards at a healthy 14.9 YPC, demonstrating the trademark speed. Facing a Bills secondary that allowed 148 passing yards to Garrett Wilson the week prior, Kaylor expects Hill’s volume and big-play ability to smash his mid-tier Showdown salary and provide tournament-winning upside.

Matt LaMarca acknowledged Miami’s dreadful opener but still tagged De'Von Achane as a high-variance GPP target, citing the back’s monster home/early-season splits: +5.18 DK Plus/Minus at Hard Rock Stadium and +15.15 in September/October. The Dolphins are slight favorites over New England, a defense that ranked 21st in rush-defense EPA and gave up the seventh-most PPR points to RBs in 2024. If the offense stabilizes back in Miami heat, Achane’s big-play profile could pay off tournament winning upside at $6,900.

Will Hill took the Dolphins moneyline, banking on the NFL’s frequent Week-to-Week correction where teams that looked worst rebound. He added that South Florida’s September heat and humidity remain a unique home-field edge for Miami.

MacMillan grabbed Miami –1 (–110, Caesars), calling the Dolphins a "penny stock" after their Week 1 embarrassment and offseason locker-room rumors. He cited the Dolphins’ league-best rush EPA in the opener as evidence the offensive talent remains intact. Conversely, he was already bearish on New England and said Mike Vrabel "isn’t an automatic fix." With a one-point spread, he sees value backing the more explosive roster in a bounce-back spot.

John Middlekauff said Tyreek Hill’s real-world value has fallen far faster than the public realizes. He compared Hill to an aging NBA star whose name recognition obscures declining trade leverage: the contract is massive, the soon-to-be-31-year-old speedster is nearing the athletic cliff, and a fresh round of domestic-violence headlines only tightens the market. Middlekauff believes NFL front offices would only bite if Miami ate salary and accepted late-round compensation, a signal that fantasy and dynasty managers should explore sell-high windows before perception finally catches up to reality.

Pat Mayo grabbed Miami at +1.5 (best number on SharpStack) and predicted the Dolphins will “roll” Indianapolis. He likes Miami’s spot because the offense is finally at full strength—De’Von Achane has been cleared, giving Mike McDaniel his entire track-team lineup. Mayo emphasized that the Colts allowed the seventh-most receiving yards to running backs last year and, as Rob Pizzola noted, Achane ranks top-10 in target rate at the position, so Miami can repeatedly isolate him on linebackers in space. While Mayo concedes the Dolphins’ defense is shaky, he doubts the Colts’ limited pass-catching corps— a recovering Michael Pittman and slot-only Josh Downs—can keep pace, and he thinks Daniel Jones will “give it away a few times.” He would have been willing to lay up to a touchdown, making the short dog price an auto-bet.

Pat Mayo circled De'Von Achane’s first-quarter receiving line of 2.5 yards on Underdog as a glaring over. Achane’s full-game number sits at 34.5, so one routine catch cashes the ticket. Mayo noted the matchup is against a defense that has struggled to contain pass-catching running backs and emphasized that the rookie still runs routes and will take check-downs even after returning from multiple concussions. He called it the first leg in his Week-1 pick-’em entry and urged listeners to grab the over before it moves.

Tafur backed Miami +1, predicting Tua Tagovailoa will reconnect with Tyreek Hill on go routes. Hill produced 13 TDs on 27 such catches in 2022-23 but none last year; the Colts allowed 33 yards per reception on go routes in 2024, second-worst. With rebuilt offensive and defensive lines, Tafur expects the Dolphins to out-muscle Indy and spoil the first home game of the Daniel Jones era.

Hennion backed Miami on the moneyline (-105), noting the franchise is 38-24 straight-up with Tua Tagovailoa under center but only 9-13 without him since 2020. In six Tua-less games last year (Weeks 3-5, 7, 17-18) the Dolphins ranked 32nd in EPA/play and 31st in success rate, yet from Weeks 8-16 with a healthy Tagovailoa they vaulted to 8th and 3rd, respectively. Miami finished 2nd in offensive DVOA in 2023. Indianapolis placed 20th last season and 13th the year prior, giving it a lower ceiling regardless of whether Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones starts. A historical trend—road dogs in Weeks 1-2 that missed last year’s playoffs and won 4-8 games are 84-38-5 ATS (68.9%), including 11-4 ATS when between PK and +1.5—adds support with Miami sitting +1.5 in consensus markets.

Saracini grabbed Dolphins moneyline as short road dogs, calling Indianapolis "one of the worst teams in the NFL." He highlighted Miami’s defensive upgrades — the signing of Matthew Judon, the return of Jaelen Phillips and Minkah Fitzpatrick patrolling centerfield — as enough to bottle up a Colts attack led by Daniel Jones. On offense he trusts Tua Tagovailoa to feast on a secondary that ranked 28th in EPA per dropback last season. Saracini anticipates Miami winning the explosive-play battle and stealing a statement road win.

Ignoring offseason "dysfunction" narratives, MacMillan took Dolphins +1.5, citing a massive talent and speed edge on offense. He is unimpressed with an Indianapolis attack led by Daniel Jones and sees Miami as the superior roster on both sides of the ball when healthy.

Ulrich recommended cutting Jaylen Wright, explaining that the back wasted a huge head start on Miami’s No. 2 job behind De'Von Achane. Wright managed 'next to nothing' in exhibition play, then underwent a minor leg procedure and is unlikely to return before Week 3. Sixth-rounder Ollie Gordon averaged 4.8 YPC and piled up 128 preseason rushing yards, flashing goal-line power that pushed Wright to third on the depth chart. With Achane healthy again, Ulrich sees no reason to burn a roster spot waiting.

Erickson advised chasing alternate receiving-yard props on Jaylen Waddle (100+, 125+, 150+). He called Colts-Dolphins a true four-outcome game with boom-bust potential on both sides and believes a track-meet script would let Waddle’s deep-speed annihilate Indianapolis’ secondary. Rather than settle for the median line, he wants the bigger payouts attached to Waddle’s ceiling games.

Matthew Betz labeled Ollie Gordon the perfect lottery ticket in the final rounds. De’Von Achane is already nursing a calf strain—an injury Betz said carries a high re-injury rate—while presumed backup Jalen Wright just underwent a minor procedure and will miss about a month. Miami’s remaining depth is practice-squad veteran Jeff Wilson, so Betz expects Gordon to open the year as the clear RB2 with a real shot at the goal-line role thanks to his 227-pound frame and Doak Walker pedigree. If Achane’s calf flares up, Gordon could inherit three-down work in a Mike McDaniel rushing scheme that has historically produced RB1 weeks for its No. 2 back. Betz acknowledged concerns about Miami’s shaky offensive line and the pressure on McDaniel’s staff, but the negligible opportunity cost (14th-15th round in redraft; 18th-20th in best ball) makes Gordon an easy upside swing that can be cut if the depth chart shifts.

James Koh urged drafters to grab Ollie Gordon in the 10th round even if that is several spots ahead of his current ADP. Koh noted that Gordon’s ADP is 'insanely low' relative to the buzz he is generating in camp, and he expects the market to keep climbing right up until kickoff. Waiting for ADP to catch up risks missing out entirely, so Koh said to ignore the queue, treat Gordon as a high-upside stash, and click his name in the double-digit rounds.

Polzin said that should Tyreek Hill miss Week 1, Malik Washington becomes the slate’s best value receiver and a natural low-owned stack with Tua Tagovailoa. Washington logged first-team preseason snaps, has manufactured touches baked in, and earned praise from Tua for his football IQ. Even if Hill plays, Polzin projects a 50 percent snap rate; without Hill, he expects Washington’s late-season workload from last year to "double," giving him an easy 3x pathway at $3K and change.

Chris Raybon advised taking the under on De'Von Achane's 7.5 rushing-touchdown season-long prop. Raybon pointed to multiple red flags: 1) Raheem Mostert may be past his prime but is still trusted at the goal line, siphoning short-yardage work. 2) Achane is dealing with a preseason calf issue that could linger or flare up again, shrinking his volume ceiling. 3) Miami’s offensive line just lost its best blocker, Terron Armstead, which Raybon believes will hurt run-game efficiency inside the red zone. 4) He expects the Dolphins to face more negative game scripts than the market projects, tilting their offense toward the pass. Because Achane’s explosive plays are more likely to come through the air, Raybon thinks seven or eight ground scores is an optimistic projection and prefers the under.

Pat Fitzmaurice moved Tyreek Hill four spots below ECR, noting a production drop from 1,799 yards in 2023 to 959 in 2024. The biggest culprit was Tua Tagovailoa’s intended air yards falling from 7.7 to 5.7 per attempt. Jonnu Smith’s exit may free up a few targets, but Hill is now 31, and Fitzmaurice doubts we can count on full seasons from either Hill or Tua. He expects a rebound, just not enough to pay off mid-second-round draft capital.

Pat Fitzmaurice called Jaylen Waddle a classic buy-low following a 744-yard, 2-TD 2024 derailed by Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion. With Jonnu Smith gone to Pittsburgh, Waddle should log more slot snaps and absorb the easy targets that drove Smith’s PPR surge. Fitzmaurice reminded readers that Waddle led college football in yards per route run in 2020 and opened his NFL career with three straight 1,000-yard campaigns. He believes drafters are sleeping on Waddle’s ceiling.

Rich Hribar reluctantly took the Miami Dolphins but argued the market underrates their defensive front. If Chop Robinson, Bradley Chubb, and Jaelan Phillips are healthy—and with the recent addition of Matthew Judon—Hribar believes Miami’s pass rush can be “legitimately good,” offsetting a weak secondary. While acknowledging poor vibes (Mike McDaniel is the betting favorite for first coach fired), he thinks the front seven can steal games and make the posted win total too pessimistic.

Mike Wright said he expects Jaylen Waddle to emerge as Tua Tagovailoa’s clear No. 1 option by season’s end. His case centered on Miami’s contract structure: the Dolphins can move on from Tyreek Hill after 2025 with minimal dead money, while Waddle is already locked into a massive multi-year extension. Wright noted that a regime change or cap squeeze would naturally funnel volume to Waddle, whose per-route efficiency remains elite when healthy. The takeaway: in season-long and dynasty leagues Waddle is a buy, especially if drafters assume a static target split with Hill.

Jason Moore believes fantasy drafters are unfairly punishing Jaylen Waddle for last season’s injury chaos. Waddle’s 2024 finish as WR-46 masks the fact that in the five games he played with a healthy Tua Tagovailoa he was on a 1,300-yard pace. Moore added that Miami can exit Tyreek Hill’s contract after this season, meaning the team has every incentive to feature Waddle and evaluate him as its long-term WR1. With volume, talent, and contract momentum all lining up, Moore views Waddle as a prime bounce-back pick at his current discount.

Jake Ciely said he bumped Ollie Gordon up to RB38 in his final rankings and is drafting him ahead of every other back in the late-round handcuff tier. Ciely stressed that Gordon will open Week 1 as Miami’s number-two running back—and could be the starter if De’Von Achane’s injury lingers—on an offense that deliberately feeds its secondary back 8-12 touches and most of the goal-line looks. That weekly workload gives Gordon touchdown equity and "flex with benefits" value that backs such as Tyler Algier, Jordan Mason, Quinshon Judkins, Ray Davis and Tank Bigsby lack because they "aren’t definitively getting touches." Ciely views Gordon as a high-floor RB3 now with contingent RB1 upside if Achane misses time.

Ian Hartitz urged drafters to grab Ollie Gordon in the double-digit rounds after a perfect injury run-out in Miami. With Jaylen Wright ruled out for Week 1, De'Von Achane nursing a calf injury, and Alexander Mattison done for the year, Gordon is locked into at least the No. 2 job—and could open the season as the Dolphins’ lead back. Hartitz reminded listeners that Gordon posted a 2,000-yard, 20-TD campaign at Oklahoma State and was once mocked in the first round before falling to Round 6. Hartitz moved Gordon to RB 38 in his updated rankings, noting Miami routinely feeds its No. 2 back goal-line work. He expects Gordon to headline early waiver-wire columns if managers leave him undrafted.

Chris Raybon called Ollie Gordon the new Miami back to stash behind Devon Achane. Gordon has, in Raybon’s words, "looked much, much better" than Jaylen Wright on preseason reps, is healthy, and has handled passing-game work Wright never earned. Given Achane’s light frame and the Dolphins’ explosive offense, Raybon views Gordon as a high-ceiling bench piece in the double-digit rounds.

Andy Holloway called Ollie Gordon the biggest preseason riser. Holloway reminded listeners that Gordon opened camp as Miami’s fourth-string back but has averaged more than five yards per carry across three exhibition games while looking "really good" on film. The injury to Devon Achane’s hamstring has created a realistic A-and-B rotation path, and Holloway stressed the re-injury risk that often accompanies soft-tissue issues rushed back for Week 1. With Miami already a top-10 rushing offense, Holloway believes Gordon is now draftable in the final rounds as an immediate contingency play who could push for double-digit touches if Achane has any setback.
