Skylar Thompson of the Miami Dolphins is trying to navigate an arduous road trip to Seattle against an opponent without star interior defensive lineman Uchenna Nwosu.

Derick Hall sacked Skylar Thompson on first down and Seattle’s defense held Miami to only punts until trying a 57-yard field goal which Jason Sanders missed wide left.

In this article, we will discuss the main points or top players of Miami Dolphins vs Seahawks Match Player Stats.

Miami Dolphins

Seattle Seahawks

De’Von Achane

De’Von Achane has had an outstanding 2023 rookie season as the Dolphins second-year running back remains an essential contributor. Achane has become a fantasy staple in PPR formats this year and recorded double-digit rushing and receiving yard totals in all but two games this year despite his small frame presenting some potential injury concerns in open field situations.

In Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns, Achane rushed 10 times for 25 yards while also bringing in both of his targets for 13 receiving yards. While Achane managed some notable runs on certain plays, his overall performance was underwhelming. Achane will likely see similar touches going forward and should remain an appealing starting option regardless of his workload.

Achane was instrumental in leading the Dolphins on their opening drive, catching two out of three targets for 35 yards while also running for five yards and catching five passes himself for 11 more. Later in the half he carried seven times for 31 yards to put them within field goal range. Additionally, his contribution set up Jaylen Wright for an easy touchdown reception.

Even against an unlikely opponent like the New York Jets, Achane’s role was clear against them. As lead back he saw 15 carries for his career-high total; unfortunately however he struggled for running room; nonetheless he scored a two-yard rushing touchdown early in the fourth quarter.

On Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dolphins running back Lamar Miller should have another impressive day as one of their top PPR options. He has proven reliable for them this season even when their teammates struggle.

David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel anticipates Achane will wear his non-contact jersey during practice on Monday, but expects him to be fully healthy for Miami’s Week 16 matchup against Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. Furones suggests Achane could feature in both running and passing game action this week and makes an attractive fantasy option in all leagues.

Jaylen Wright

Wright struggled as a rookie at Miami, playing third fiddle to De’Von Achane and Raheem Mostert on their backfield depth chart. A fourth-round speedster who can break tackles and gain ground when hit, Wright could provide valuable flex play potential if your running game needs extra assistance.

Wright made his NFL debut during Miami’s Week 1 win against the Jaguars and could play a larger role against Baltimore this Sunday. Miami’s offensive attack had started slowly at times early this season and Wright could provide much-needed spark to help push them over the edge. It would make an intriguing sleeper pick in 2024 fantasy leagues.

Wright saw his highest workload to date during Miami’s 31-12 loss against Tennessee Titans, participating in 28 out of 60 snaps (47%). Rushing seven times for 30 yards while failing to catch his sole target but turning one rush into 17-yard run.

On the Dolphins’ subsequent drive, Wright broke through several tackles and gained momentum on a powerful run up the middle, setting up a third-down conversion but leading to an unsuccessful field goal attempt that ultimately terminated their drive.

Just moments later, Wright took on an intensive blocking assignment on the left. The rookie blasted through several opponents before reaching the first-down marker for an effective third-down conversion.

Jaylen Wright was a healthy scratch for the Dolphins’ season opener against Jacksonville Jaguars and since has seen his role in their backfield diminish since. De’Von Achane and Jeff Wilson Jr are expected to lead their backfield duties, so Jaylen Wright should likely remain as backup – making him suitable as an unpredictable flex option in most fantasy formats.

Wright’s big-play ability makes him an attractive flex pick in the short term, especially given Miami’s struggles on defense. The rookie pass-catcher provides solid pass catching threats in the backfield and helps open up holes for other rushers on the field, though his impact might still remain limited compared to what McDaniel prefers – faster running backs who can break through tackles are favored over him in his offense.

Deebo Samuel

Deebo Samuel currently plays wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). Born January 15 1996 and attending South Carolina, Deebo Samuel also held positions with Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars before making his way back to San Francisco this season with one touchdown on the scorecard.

Deebo Samuel still holds value despite recent struggles. While he had been an impressive option in most PPR formats, recently his production has declined drastically. Expect him to see more targets this week against Arizona Cardinals which may give him added appeal as a flex option.

On the field, Samuel is an unstoppable threat in both the slot and out of the backfield. His speed allows him to beat coverage and break open for big gains; his route running is also exceptional and uses his body shield defenders from his target; finally his speed has made him an extremely dangerous deep threat in red zone scenarios, where he can score multiple touchdowns per game.

Samuel not only excels on the field, but is renowned for his off-field personality as well. He has taken to using social media as an influencer to promote his brand and has taken an active role in various charitable efforts within his community.

Deebo has not practiced due to rib and wrist injuries, but he should play against Arizona in their last regular-season game as an touchdown-dependent wide receiver/flex player for those rostering him.

The 49ers have reported they’re open to trading Samuel, a former third-round pick. Injury issues have limited his career so far but his 42 total touchdowns across six seasons would attract interested teams looking for receivers. Meanwhile, Samuel will vie with George Kittle and Jauan Jennings for playing time in their receiving corps.

Dante Fowler Jr.

The Dolphins haven’t scored yet in the first quarter and that doesn’t appear likely to change anytime soon. Seattle is driving into Dolphin territory almost every time they have possession, with their running attack producing some terrific plays to reach Miami territory’s edge. Although they boast one of the league’s best defensive units, if they hope to win this matchup they must increase offensive production as well.

In the first quarter, Seattle’s defense got off to a strong start by forcing two turnovers and limiting Dolphins offense. Geno Smith was intercepted on Zach Charbonnet’s tip drill intercept for an easy turnover which led to a field goal and took an early lead of 3-0. Leonard Williams left due to an injured rib before leaving later with Byron Murphy II also suffering an injury during this same quarter.

Fowler has been an integral member of the Commanders’ defense this season, leading their defensive unit with 10.5 sacks and one interception. Fowler could experience his stock rise if he can demonstrate that he can manage an NFL schedule; Fowler was the third-overall pick from 2015 draft but should become more of an important fantasy asset by 2024.

After an ineffective second quarter, Seattle extended their lead significantly in the third. Fowler played an instrumental role in this, stunting from 7-technique and forcing quarterback Eli Manning’s pocket into collapsing; although he wasn’t successful with getting a sack on this play, he did manage to hit Manning twice on it!

Fowler has been one of the Commanders’ standout linebackers this season and stands a good chance at earning an NFL starting job next year. As a priority run-stopper in a 4-3 under scheme and providing pass rush and zone coverage services for his defense, Fowler can make him a good choice for many teams; his speed and aggressive nature match well with that of Miami Dolphins young, fast defensive line.
