Your Sunday Night AFC East Showdown Open Thread

Me, I’d love a little 0-2 action for the Pats and Miami is just the team to do it. Let’s look at a few particulars.

To The Game!

Fins/Pats:

-Watch out Miami, Jalen Reagor has been elevated from the practice squad for this one.

-Can the Fins be run on? Well, they gave up 5.8 ypc to the frickin’ Chargers last week so I’d say, ‘yeah’. Methinks Bill will stuff the ball down their throats until the single older mothers come home. This even though Mac Jones attempted 54 passes last week and acquitted himself quite well. Nope, rb Stevenson is where the action should be at so maybe jump on that 75 yards rushing prop.

-Tua has never lost to the Pats. Perhaps it’s because the latter play zone D against the Fins almost 80% of the time. How does Tua react to zones? He averages 9 yards per attempt and had the third-most TDs (11) vs that coverage. Bill sees something no one else does.

-Helping Tua along is Tyreek and his 9 targets and 92 yard average against this division opponent. Oh right, remember he mouthed off about a 2,000 yard season this year? He did get 215 last week so that means he needs 111 yards per game the rest of the way. If he’s been on your fantasy team you know he’s going to have some clunkers along the way.

-Hey, what’s with blocking tight end Durham Smythe (of the Cape Cod Smythe’s of course) getting 7 targets last week? They had a perfectly cromulent pass-catching tight end on the roster by the name of Gesicki and let him flounder on the bench. Maybe it’s revenge game time? He had three targets last week and caught them all.

-It would seem that Old Bill focuses on taking Waddle out of the game given that the talented wideout has never had more than 5 catches and 69 receiving yards vs the Pats.

Let’s Watch.
