Both of these teams are officially eliminated, and Miami has benched Tua Tagovailoa for rookie Quinn Ewers, but I still think we could get an entertaining game. The total for this one is high and I expect a shootout, unless the Bengals no show again. I actually make Miami favorites here since Cincinnati's offense has fallen off after a midseason surge right as Miami's defense trends up. I don't mind a +185 Dolphins ML play, but I prefer a bunch of props in what could be a fun, higher-scoring game. Let's start with DeVon Achane, who's become a star for Miami both running and passing. He had 60 yards rushing and caught six balls for 67 yards on Monday night against the Steelers even as Miami struggled, and that's become the norm for him. That was Achane's eight game with 5+ receptions, and in his last four healthy games, he's put up combined yardage totals of 127, 134, 165, and 225, an average of 163 YPG. The Bengals defense remains awful and has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing RBs, along with the most receiving points. Achane is the perfect weapon to protect Ewers — just get your star the ball and let him cook. I like Achane to hit 120+ rushing + receiving yards (-103, DraftKings), and I'll take the escalator. Achane has 150+ combined yards in three of his last eight healthy games, so play that number at +277. He also has two games at 225+, one in the last month, so let's play 200+ combined yards at +1540 and 230+ at +4300 (all DraftKings) in case he busts a couple long ones. We always play tight ends against Cincinnati too. Tight ends are a young QB's best friend, so I don't mind this even with Ewers. The Bengals have been historically bad against tight ends, already allowing 99 catches for 1,276 yards and 15 TDs. Darren Waller has scored six touchdowns in six healthy games for the Dolphins, despite playing less than half the snaps. Ewers is buying us value, and against Cincinnati, I have to take it. Play a Waller touchdown at +325 (Hard Rock) and sprinkle two or more scores at +2500 (DraftKings). If Miami does hang around and move the ball, that could set up a script for the Bengals to get into passing mode. Chase Brown has 6+ receptions in half his last 10 games, with 7+ catches in four of those. Miami allows the sixth-most receptions to RBs on the season and just gave up 10 to the Steelers on Monday night, including seven to Kenneth Gainwell. Bet Brown to keep racking up catches in a good matchup, especially if Tee Higgins is out again. Split your bet between 6+ catches at +350 and 7+ and +700 (bet365). Brown did hit eight catches this season, so you can sprinkle that number at +1300 too.

Miami opened as a 1 point favorite vs the Bengals. After their stinker vs Pittsburgh on Monday night, the line shifted to Bengals -1. When Mike McDaniel even suggested a QB change, the line shifted to Bengals -2. Now that the news is out and Ewers is starting, Cincy is -4. I would not rush to bet the Bengals here. Tua has been among the worst QB's in the NFL, a spread adjustment of roughly 5 points is an overreaction. Mahomes being out shifted the KC line by 7...do you really think the difference between Mahomes and Tua is 2 points?! Absolutely not, the gap is significantly wider. 1-unit wager out of principle for the market over adjustment.
