Typically, a 27-13 win translates into a handful of noteworthy fantasy performances. However, the Dolphins offered little to write home about, at least on offense. The biggest contributor for the Dolphins on Sunday was their defense. Brent Grimes and Louis Delmas each returned interceptions for touchdowns. As a result, Miami's defense and special teams accounted for 20 of Miami's 27 points. There are a few offensive performances to digest of course. We're here to break them down.
Lamar Miller manages 99 yards, fantasy owners see little else in Dolphins win over Jaguars
The Dolphins defeated the Jaguars thanks largely to Miami’s defense. We take a look at the individual fantasy performances.

Ryan Tannehill: Tannehill completed 16 of 29 passes for 196 yards, one touchdown and an interception. He carried the ball five times for 48 yards. His lone touchdown went to Rishard Matthews in the third quarter. Tannehill didn't play very well, but benefited from the Jaguars turning the ball over throughout the afternoon. Fantasy owners may have plugged Tannehill into lineups due to the juicy match up. With all things considered, he disappointed. He'll continue on as a QB2.
Mike Wallace: Wallace caught two passes for 59 yards. He led the Dolphins with seven targets, which just goes to show how much the Dolphins truly struggled moving the football. 50 of Wallace's yards came from one catch. He's still a strong WR2 option moving forward, as the Dolphins simply have little else to work with in the receiving game.
Lamar Miller: Miller benefited the most from Miami's defense controlling the game all afternoon. He rushed 14 times for 78 yards. He had three catches for an additional 21 yards. Miller saw a heavier workload in the second half as the Dolphins got more comfortable with a lead. He's a strong RB2 option as the Dolphins simply have no one else they're relying on out of the backfield.
