New York Jets at Miami Dolphins
Monday, September 28th, 7:15 PM ET
Matchups We Love
Justin Fields will return in Week 4 after missing last week's game due to a concussion. With Fields cleared from the concussion protocol, he will return as a QB1 against the Dolphins. Miami has given up the second-most fantasy points and ninth-most rush yards to QBs in 2025. That should help the Jets QB have a strong fantasy day.

RB Breece Hall
Following a strong Week 1 performance, Breece Hall has not done much in each of the past two weeks. But this matchup against the Dolphins should help him get back on track. Miami is giving up over 4.5 yards per carry to opposing backs and the fifth-most fantasy points to the position. That makes Hall a strong RB2 this week. Look at what James Cook did against this front seven last week (20.8 PPR fantasy points).
Matchups We Hate
WR Tyreek Hill
There's a good chance that Tyreek Hill disappoints fantasy managers in Week 4. Sauce Gardner will likely shadow Hill in this game, and Gardner has been at the top of his game in the early going. He held Metcalf to four catches for 83 yards in Week 1 and Evans to four catches for 33 yards and one touchdown last week. That's not great news for the Dolphins playmaker, making him a lower-end WR2.
Other Notable Matchups
Tua Tagovailoa won't be the best fantasy option this week. He has yet to finish as a top-16 fantasy QB, and the Jets have only allowed one passing touchdown over the past two weeks. That makes Tagovailoa a lower-end QB2 play in Superflex formats. There are better QBs to roll with than him, considering he has no rushing upside.
De'Von Achane will continue to be an RB1 for fantasy managers this week. He has a whopping 24% target share through three weeks, and his receiving upside makes him an elite fantasy asset. Achane has scored above 16 PPR fantasy points in every game this year. Given that the Jets have given up the 10th-most rush yards to RBs, he will be a must-start.

— Miami Dolphins (@MiamiDolphins) September 14, 2025
Although Jaylen Waddle has gotten into the end zone in each of the past two games, he will be a borderline flex play in Week 4. He enters this game with a mere 17.7% target share and has topped 40 receiving yards just once to begin the year. The Jets have allowed six different WRs to score in double figures against them this season, but Waddle does not have much of a fantasy ceiling.
Wilson needs to be in all lineups this week. He ranks second in target share among all WRs while scoring above 22 PPR fantasy points in two of his three games. Considering Pittman scored 20 PPR fantasy points against this Dolphins secondary a few weeks ago, Wilson will be a strong WR1 for managers. Miami has allowed four receiving touchdowns to WRs in the early going.
More Jets vs. Dolphins Fantasy Football Outlooks
Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (hip) does not have an injury status for Monday Night Football against the Jets, setting him up for his first action of the season. The 33-year-old had a few huge years with the Raiders but has not played a game since the 2023 season. The Dolphins lured him out of retirement this year, but he hasn't been able to play due to a hip issue. It's very uncertain what he'll be ready to contribute on Monday Night Football against the Jets, who have been fairly good against tight ends this season.
He is worth a stash from the waiver wire if you are desperate for a tight end solution. However, it seems unlikely that Waller will have a huge role right away. He's the TE37 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, so he isn't an option to play this week, even though he is worth watching to evaluate his future potential.
TE Mason Taylor
New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor will get another opportunity in Week 4 to seize a larger role in his team's offense when they square off with the hosting Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The rookie is far and away the team's leader in snaps at tight end, and he finally saw a solid target figure in Week 3 (six). However, that was with Tyrod Taylor manning the helm. Justin Fields will return to the team in Week 4, meaning New York could choose to dial back the pass attempts as they had before his departure in their loss to the Bills.
That said, the LSU product ranks third on the Jets in terms of targets (nine), and he's undoubtedly still adjusting to the professional level of competition. Taylor will be difficult to trust for fantasy until he strings together a few weeks of steady output. He'll be one to monitor for now, though, if not for nothing else than New York's dearth at the skill positions. The 21-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR TE31 for Monday's matchup.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington brings intriguing upside to Monday Night Football's divisional matchup against the Jets. The second-year receiver from Virginia returned a punt for a touchdown in Week 2 and played a larger role in Week 3. He's operating as the team's third receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and has played over 50% of snaps each week. Against the Bills in Week 3, he had a season-high three catches on five targets and also had 20 rushing yards on two carries.
He has 34 receiving yards and 52 rushing yards to go with that punt return touchdown this year, and the Dolphins will continue to try to find ways to get the ball into his hands. They need an offensive spark with Tua Tagovailoa struggling, and incorporating Washington more could be a way to find some big plays on Monday night. He's a very high-risk start at this point as RotoBaller's WR73 this week, but he's also a player with breakout potential who is worth keeping an eye on with bye weeks just around the corner.
New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson will see his role diminish when he takes the field for Monday night's road matchup with the Miami Dolphins. The University of Minnesota product operated as the Jets' WR2 across the previous two weeks with fellow wideout Josh Reynolds nursing a hamstring injury. However, Reynolds will return in Week 4, resuming his duties as the de facto No. 2 option across from Garrett Wilson.
Either way, it isn't easy to trust anyone outside of Wilson for fantasy, as New York has (expectedly) leaned run-heavy through the first three weeks. There's some upside here for one of New York's tertiary pass-catchers, particularly in a favorable matchup with a 44.5 point over/under. Still, projecting who it might be is a futile effort for fantasy. Johnson is RotoBaller's PPR WR97 ahead of Week 4's slate of action.
