Three straight games with 18+ PPR points for Derrick Henry
Derrick Henry had a notable fantasy scoring slump in Weeks 10-11, as he posted only 8.4 PPR points in those games, but he’s bounced back in a major way since then, as he has posted 18+ PPR points in his last three games and scored two rushing touchdowns in each of those contests.

Betting public not expecting a comeback
Miami is up 27-21 with just over two minutes left and has one of the best defenses in the league, which is why the Dolphins are still listed as a 5.5-point favorite in live in-game betting at BetMGM, but the Titans passing success of late is making it look more and more like Tennessee can pull off the comeback.
Miami’s touchdown equals a win or a push for many bettors
Miami started this game as a 13.5-point favorite and was a 14-point favorite earlier in the week. It looked like Miami was not going to be able to cover this spread, but Raheem Mostert’s second rushing touchdown put the Dolphins up 27-13.
If that score holds up, the 13.5-point spread will be covered and the 14-point spread will be a push, but that all depends on if Miami’s defense shuts the Titans out for just under four more minutes.
Dolphins special teams at work
The Dolphins are in business after recovering this muffed punt.

Titans take lead on FG after reversed TD
The Titans thought they took the lead on a diving touchdown catch by Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, but the play was reversed upon review and Tennessee had to settle for a go-ahead field goal instead.
The Titans’ lead is only 13-10, but keep this in mind: The Dolphins are 1-3 in games they trailed at any point in the fourth quarter this season.

Tyreek Hill update
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill “wants to give it a go” according to the ESPN broadcast. He is questionable to return with an ankle injury.
Middling fantasy point totals in the first half of both matchups
This has not been a good night for Monday Night Miracles, as the fantasy point totals in the first half of these matchups have been less than stellar.
DeAndre Hopkins is one of the standouts, as his fantastic catch to set up a Titans field goal helped him score 10.2 PPR points.
Saquon Barkley’s touchdown also helped him hit the double-digit point territory, as he has 10.6 PPR points.
No Miami player has as many as eight PPR points, as Jaylen Waddle (7.4), Raheem Mostert (6.3), De’Von Achane (6.2), and Tua Tagovailoa (2.16) have all been held in check by the Titans defense. Tyreek Hill missed most of the first half after suffering an ankle injury and is questionable to return, so he may not add to his 3.3 PPR points.
Jayden Reed didn’t much through the air, but a rushing touchdown vaulted him to 13.4 PPR points.
