Miami Dolphins DFS Spin
Jaylen Waddle (concussion) will be active for Week 4 against the Bills. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Waddle — who was sidelined in Week 3 with a brain injury — will return to Miami’s lineup against the Bills. Off to a slow start, Waddle is still seeing a solid chunk of the team’s targets and air yards and should post better numbers in the coming weeks. Waddle had 248 yards and a touchdown in two regular season games against Buffalo in 2022.
Buffalo Bills DFS Spin
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Bills EDGE Von Miller is expected to resume practicing this week. Miller tore his ACL on Thanksgiving last year and has been progressing well in his bid to return to game action. The first major step will be to return to the practice field, which it now appears likely to happen in the coming week. The late-season injury paired with his advanced playing age would make a Week 5 return to action truly remarkable.

Dolphins vs. Bills Prediction:
Take the under. I realize I’m recommending the under when the Dolphins just hung 70 points on the board last Sunday in a route of the Broncos. First of all, Buffalo isn’t Denver. Secondly, the Bills won’t allow Tyreek Hill to run around Orchard Park like he’s done to previous opponents this season. In efforts to keep that high-powered Miami offense off the field, I also expect Buffalo to continue to do what it’s done the previous two weeks: Run the ball. Today the Bills will be about ball control and that philosophy can be a killer for over bettors.
Dolphins vs. Bills NFL Prediction: UNDER 53.5
