Miami Dolphins

Yahoo Ownership: 28%
numberFire Projected Rank: 6th

We discussed the Miami Dolphins as a streamer last week and they were a respectable option, finishing 12th in weekly scoring. They now head to Baltimore to take on the Ravens for Thursday Night Football.

Joe Flacco and the rest of the offense has been tough to watch all season -- they rank as the seventh-worst offense per numberFire metrics and have given up eighth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses. Flacco himself has not been impressive, throwing more interceptions (8) than touchdowns (5) through seven games while also taking multiple sacks in five different games.

This matchup is not expected to be high scoring -- it has the lowest over/under on the week at 37.5 points. The Dolphins are a three-point underdog, but against a struggling Ravens offense, they make for a deep streaming option if the Bengals and Saints are unavailable.
