MVP/Captain Plays
Jayden Reed - WR, Green Bay Packers - $11.7K (DK), $11.5K (FD)
Key Stats
- 2024 Stats: 52 targets, 41 receptions, 669 receiving yards, four touchdowns, 102 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown
Jayden Reed is coming off his worst performance of the season, but he has the potential to bounce back this week. Reed plays 75% of his snaps in the slot, which should match him up with Kader Kohou. Kohou has given up the most FP per route run on the Dolphins this season at .24. Reed should be in line for an increased workload, as it is likely that Romeo Doubs is down for this matchup.

Tua Tagovailoa - QB, Miami Dolphins - $13.5K (DK), $14K (FD)
Key Stats
- Last Five Games Stats: 170 passing attempts, 130 completions, 1,277 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, one interception
I have a feeling this one is going to be a shootout. Tagovailoa has been extremely efficient since returning from his concussion in Week 2. He has completed 76% of his passes in the last five games. He has an 11-1 TD to INT ratio in the previous five games and has had 15+ FP in four of the last five games.
Other Captains/MVPs: Jordan Love, De'Von Achane, Josh Jacobs

DFS Flex Plays
Tucker Kraft - TE, Green Bay Packers - $5.6K (DK), $9.5K (FD)
Key Stats
- 2024 Stats: 71 targets, 39 receptions, 560 receiving yards, two touchdowns
Tucker Kraft gets one of the better matchups on the slate. The Dolphins are giving up the fourth-most FP to opposing TEs across the last four weeks. Kraft has been a bit up and down this season but is still averaging a solid 10 FP a game. With Doubs being down, Jordan Love will be looking for another option to throw to.
Jonnu Smith - TE, Miami Dolphins - $6.4K (DK), $10.5K (FD)
Since Tagovailoa's return to the lineup, Jonnu Smith has been targeted 35 times. In just the last two games, he has been targeted 19 of those times. He has become one of Tagovailoa's more reliable offensive options and a great checkdown play, which he will need against a stout Packers defensive line. The Packers defense has been vulnerable this season to opposing TEs as well.
#Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel on Jonnu Smith:
“He gives you incentive to find ways to get him the ball when you can throw short and he can run long. That’s high efficient football that’s tough to defend. So, I can’t say enough about the job he’s done and all of his success” pic.twitter.com/yW7tovUcaG

Other Flex Options: Jaylen Waddle, Tyreek Hill, Christian Watson
DFS Value Plays
Brandon McManus - K, Green Bay Packers - $5.2K (DK), $9K (FD)
Brandon McManus has been solid in his return to the field for the Packers. He has hit all but one field goal in eight attempts and hit all 13 extra-point attempts. The Dolphins have a stout red-zone defense, allowing a TD in only 48% of attempts this season and only 16% across the last three games. This could lead to more FG attempts for McManus.
Malik Washington - WR, Miami Dolphins - $2K (DK), $6K (FD)
Malik Washington is getting more and more opportunities in this offense, and his explosive speed has even brought him into the run game. He has seen 33%+ snaps across the last four games. He isn't getting a lot of targets but he is super cheap and worth a shot in GPPs. If he ends up with a touchdown, he could be an optimal value play.
Other Value Plays: Dontayvion Wicks, Jason Sanders
