Game Info
Kickoff: Sunday, November 1, 2026, 4:25 PM ET
Location: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, FL
Network: CBS
New England Patriots
Quarterback
Drake Maye: START, QB1
Starting Drake Maye is one of the easier calls on your roster this week. He’s the glow stick in your Halloween bag. While it doesn’t look like much at first, you eventually realize it’s one of the coolest things you got all night.
Running Back
Rhamondre Stevenson: START, RB2
TreVeyon Henderson: SIT
Corey Kiner: SIT
Rhamondre Stevenson is the only Patriots back you can start in fantasy, and in a plus matchup against Miami, he’s an easy high-end RB2. Stevenson’s 86% third down snap rate is third at the position, and he handles nearly half the team’s carry share. TreVeyon Henderson has 37% of it, but has 14 total carries in his last three games and just two with double digits. Corey Kiner had more last week. Neither of the latter are fantasy viable
Wide Receiver
A.J. Brown: START, WR2
Demario Douglas: FLEX, WR4
Efton Chism III: SIT
Demario Douglas had a nice little productive stretch with back-to-back games of nearly 20+ points, but plummeted back to reality last week with 5.3 fantasy points on three catches for 23 yards. A.J. Brown is the only Pats receiver you can even consider starting, and prepare for disappointment in one of the worst wide receiver matchups against Miami. Brown has yet to score double-digit fantasy points as a Patriot (although he likely would in Week 1 had he not left the game with injury). He’ll get it going eventually, but it probably won’t be against Miami.
Tight End
Hunter Henry: STREAMER
I think I’m ready to promote Hunter Henry past gLoB status, as half of his four straight games with more than 10 fantasy points have come without a touchdown. Miami is one of the juiciest matchups for tight ends and is coming off allowing a career-best day to Mason Taylor.
Defense/Special Teams
New England Patriots: START
Miami scores the third-fewest points in the league.
Miami Dolphins
Quarterback
Malik Willis: SIT, QB2 (Startable in Superflex)
Malik Willis may finally be turning the corner to become that BEAST of a fantasy asset. And by beast, I mean borderline startable quarterbacks in Superflex thanks to rushing production and playing from behind nearly all the time. But garbage time counts all the same, and Willis is a solid start outside of 1QB leagues.
Running Back
Ollie Gordon II: START, RB2
Jaylen Wright: SIT
Kaytron Allen: SIT
The ceiling is limited for Ollie Gordon II, but you couldn’t ask for more of a floor. Gordon has 14+ fantasy points in every game since taking over as the team’s starting running back, handling 57% of the team’s carries at 4.7 YPC and a 13.9% explosive run rate. As abysmal as this offense is, he’ll never push top 10. But Gordon is locked in as a weekly RB2 in all formats.
Wide Receiver
Caleb Douglas: START, WR3
Malik Washington: FLEX, WR4
Chris Bell: SIT
They both saw just three targets, but Caleb Douglas turned his into 70 yards and two touchdowns, while Malik Washington turned his into 27 yards. It’s always going to be a volatile situation with the Dolphins receivers, but Douglas clearly has the most upside. The returning rookie is sporting 11.1 yards after the catch per reception.
Tight End
Greg Dulcich: SIT
Greg Dulcich caught all five of his targets for 86 yards last week, but he still hasn’t scored this season, and squeaked by double-digit points for the second time this season. gLoB Dulcich, amirite?
Defense/Special Teams
Miami Dolphins: SIT
Miami’s defense has the fewest sacks and fourth-fewest takeaways this season.
