Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 7 Worksheet breaks down the Dolphins‑Jets clash, highlighting a 4.5-point spread favoring Miami and an implied total of 22.0. The Jets rank 4th in rushing EPA (‑26.8) but 22nd in passing EPA (‑18.5) and have the league’s lowest red‑zone TD conversion (37.5%). Miami, still winless to any lead, allows a league‑high 76.6% completion rate and 2.75 points per drive. Geno Smith (68.9% completion, 0 INT) is a high‑success‑rate QB2 option against a defense that struggles on short passes, while Malik Willis remains a QB2 with limited passing upside but growing rushing value. The data helps fantasy managers gauge quarterback and skill‑position upside for this low‑scoring matchup.
At 4‑2 and leading the AFC South, the Jacksonville Jaguars are eyeing defensive upgrades before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. The article lists ten possible interior‑defensive line targets, highlighting Daron Payne (Commanders) in a player‑for‑player swap with rookie Brian Thomas Jr., Zach Sieler (Dolphins) for a conditional 2027 fifth‑round pick, and veteran DeForest Buckner (Colts) for a 2027 third‑rounder plus Thomas Jr. It notes each player’s 2026 stats, contract status, and how they could fit alongside Arik Armstead and Travon Walker in Jacksonville’s revamped front seven. With the Jags’ defense conceding a season‑high 114 rushing yards and 34 points, the piece weighs cap hits, pass‑rush grades, and roster needs to gauge which veteran could bolster the unit.
Things are worse in Miami than their winless record indicates.
The Miami Dolphins' 2026 decisions are proving to be the right moves for their future, at least based on how their former players look elsewhere.
The Miami Dolphins overhauled their special teams on Tuesday, cutting kicker Riley Patterson after a shaky start and re‑signing former practice‑squad kicker Zane Gonzalez to the practice squad. Gonzalez, a 2017 seventh‑round pick who missed last season with an injury, replaces Patterson, who struggled with kickoffs and missed a crucial extra point in Week 5. The team also promoted rookie edge rusher Rodney McGraw and waived Andre Jones Jr. The biggest surprise was the release of undrafted cornerback Storm Duck, who had been on the PUP list recovering from a knee injury and was not added to the active roster.
Jets running back Breece Hall teases his return with a single-word Instagram post—"Soon"—ahead of the Week 7 home clash with Miami. After a promising 102-yard debut, Hall has been limited to under 65 yards over the next two games, while backup Braelon Allen has emerged, ranking second in league carries (41) and third in rushing yards (194) through Weeks 5‑6. Coach Frank Reich now faces the challenge of reintegrating Hall’s unique skill set into an offense that’s struggled early this season. The article highlights Hall’s potential impact and Allen’s hot streak as the Jets prepare for the Dolphins showdown.
The Miami Dolphins are not going to win many games this year, but one veteran has no desire to find a team that will.

Five games into his stint, Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis is struggling: he’s averaging just 169.8 passing yards, a career‑low 56.2% completion rate, only two TDs against four interceptions and a 68.4 passer rating. Fans who hoped his mobility would upgrade the offense are losing optimism as the team’s quarterback woes persist. The Phinsider asks whether Willis can still develop into a long‑term starter or if Miami should start scouting a new QB for next season.
Sharp Football Analysis’ Week 7 Worksheet breaks down the Steelers‑Saints clash in Paris, highlighting a -3.5 spread for Pittsburgh and a 24.0 implied total. The Saints rank 3rd in second‑half points per drive (2.62) but have yet to score first this season and allow a league‑high 49 turnover points. Pittsburgh’s defense limits opponents to 10 red‑zone trips (fewest in the league) and a 14.5% touchdown rate, while New Orleans concedes 26 red‑zone trips and a 30% TD rate. Quarterback outlook favors Aaron Rodgers as a high‑upside QB2, with Tyler Shough as a risky QB2 option for the Steelers. Key stats: Steelers 61.7% pass completion, 5.0 Y/A; Saints 66.5% completion, 7.7 Y/A.

It would be an understatement to say that the Miami Dolphins have issues in just one department. The team currently sits at 0-5 and is looking to improve coming out of its bye week.

The Miami Dolphins had to make a decision on Storm Duck's roster spot, and that decision led to his release.
Entering Week 7 at 0-5, the Miami Dolphins replace released kicker Riley Patterson with a new option after a bye. Five‑time All‑Pro Justin Tucker impresses in a workout, nailing 68‑, 65‑ and two 60‑yard kicks and going 11‑for‑12 overall, but the team passes on signing the 36‑year‑old veteran. Instead, Dolphins special teams coordinator Chris Tabor brings in 31‑year‑old Zane Gonzalez, who hit 19‑of‑22 field goals for the Falcons last season and has a prior connection with Tabor from their Browns days. The move aims to spark the struggling squad ahead of their Week 7 clash with the New York Jets.
The Miami Dolphins have not been satisfied with their special teams this year, and the first of what could be several changes was just made.
The Phinsider’s guide helps first‑time Dolphins fans turn a game day into a full South Florida weekend. It advises flying into Fort Lauderdale‑Hollywood Airport instead of Miami International, then choosing lodging based on priorities: the Stadium Hotel in Miami Gardens for walk‑up convenience, budget chains like Hampton Inn near the venue, Fort Lauderdale for broader hotel options, the upscale Seminole Hard Rock Casino’s Guitar Hotel, or the Aventura/Sunny Isles area for beach, shopping, and dining while staying about 10 miles from Hard Rock Stadium.
