Miami Dolphins at Cleveland Browns DFS Start Em’ Sit Em’| Week 7

Quinshon Judkins

Cleveland Browns

VS

Miami Dolphins

(1-5)

Last week was a blip in a great season for Quinshon Judkins. Forgetting about this underrated running back is a huge mistake, though. The Steelers’ defense was able to shut him down, but the Dolphins’ defense tends to give up many more points than the Steelers do. Cleveland might be able to win this game simply by feeding Judkins and playing defense. With a game plan like this, Judkins would get around 20 carries, lots of yards, and probably a touchdown.

Darren Waller

Miami Dolphins

AT

Cleveland Browns

(1-5)

Waller may not have the same yardage as the top tight ends in the league, but he has reached the end zone in every game he has played. This clearly shows that, when Miami gets in the red zone, Waller is one of Tua’s favorite targets. He should be able to keep his streak of a touchdown per game against Cleveland, especially since Tua has few other options outside of handing the ball to Achane.

Sit ‘Em

Tua Tagovailoa

Miami Dolphins

AT

Cleveland Browns

(1-5)

Tua Tagovailoa has played five games this season and has five interceptions to show for it. Although he may be blaming the team’s problems on other issues, the fact remains that he needs to improve at taking care of the football. Tua faces one of the best defenses in the league in Cleveland, and if he throws another interception, it will cut into any points Tua gets. With his best wide receiver injured, there is almost no reason to start Tua for the rest of the season unless he can put together a really strong game.

David Njoku

Cleveland Browns

VS

Miami Dolphins

(1-5)

Njoku is still a strong tight end, but he may not flourish with Dillon Gabriel under center. He was only targeted six times in the last game against Pittsburgh. Harold Fannin Jr., on the other hand, had 10 targets in the same game. It may be that Fannin Jr. is Gabriel’s preferred option, and he might continue to feed him the ball. Even if Fannin Jr. doesn’t get a huge amount of targets, it’s clear that they are basically splitting time. Therefore, it makes more sense to pick up a tight end who’s more guaranteed to be the number one guy.

Fade of the Game

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Miami Dolphins

AT

Cleveland Browns

(1-5)

Now that he is third on the depth chart, one might assume Westbrook-Ikhine would be getting more work. That hasn’t been the case so far; he’s only had one target in the past two games. Considering that the Browns play defense well, Tua will likely be favoring his leading targets more and spreading out the ball less. Therefore, Westbrook-Ikhine simply won’t see the ball enough to be relevant for DFS.
