Week 9 Fantasy Football Defensive Streaming: Backing the Bolts

Miami Dolphins

numberFire Projected Rank: 8th

The Miami Dolphins have burned us once before, turning in a lackluster performance in Week 3 against the Browns. But coming off a bye, they're hosting the New York Jets, one of the more turnover-prone teams in the league.

The Dolphins are a 3.5-point favorite against the Jets, who have been one of the best teams to target this season. Over the past four games, three of the teams to face the Jets have finished as a top-11 defense on the week.

Miami has been a middle-of-the-pack defense through eight weeks, ranking 14th in numberFire's schedule-adjusted metrics, but the Jets have allowed the 12th-most sacks (17) and 9th-most quarterback hits (48) on the year. New York has also committed 17 turnovers, and while that number is inflated by Ryan Fitzpatrick's six-interception game in Week 3, the Jets have had at least one turnover in five of their seven games, including multiple turnovers in three of those games.

If you're desperate for a streaming option this week, you could do worse than the Dolphins at home against Fitzpatrick and the Jets, who needed a second half rally in Cleveland last week to beat the 0-8 Browns.
