2. Miami Dolphins

Miami’s D has been solid all year and had a huge game last week against the Jets hapless offense. The last three weeks they’ve allowed just 13.0 points per game and have forced at least one turnover in every game this season.

This week, the Dolphins are headed to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers who had been extremely generous to opposing D/ST’s until the last few games when they’ve stopped allowing sacks and turning the ball over. This Miami unit has been consistent enough, though, that they can still be used this weekend if necessary.

After facing the Steelers, Miami has a tough home game against the Patriots before finishing at Buffalo and against the Jets. Their week 16-17 matchups are excellent so try to pair them with a defense that has good matchups in your other playoff games. For example, using Arizona the next two weeks against St. Louis and Tennessee and then Miami for the last two weeks against Buffalo and New York.
