You've probably heard this before, but it bears repeating. Whichever team is playing the New York Jets is going to worthy of streamer consideration. This week, that's the Miami Dolphins.

Through two games, the Buffalo Bills and Oakland Raiders have finished the week as a top-10 option after facing the Jets. Quarterback Josh McCown has played about as well as could be expected considering the circumstances, but he has already thrown two picks in Week 1 and then took four sacks this past week against the Raiders.

In what was their season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers last week, the Dolphins defense allowed more than 360 yards, but stymied the Chargers' running game. Melvin Gordon had just 13 yards on 9 carries, although he did score on a goal-line carry. From a fantasy perspective, the Dolphins were not great, generating just one sack, but in a matchup against the Jets, the defense should be able to find more opportunities for sacks and turnovers.

Miami is listed as a six-point favorite, the fourth-largest spread of the week, while the Jets have an implied team total of just 17.75 points, which is tied for the second lowest of Week 2.
