"Fields' dual-threat ability is the Jets' X-factor. In limited action he has shown flashes with 245 passing yards, a touchdown, 97 rushing yards and two more scores, and his presence changes the plan for Miami's struggling defense. If he is not cleared, veteran Tyrod Taylor proved capable in last week's narrow loss to Tampa Bay, but the upside is not the same."
"Miami, meanwhile, is searching for anything resembling rhythm. The Dolphins have surrendered over 30 points in every game and rank last in scoring defense at 32.3 points per contest. Opponents are averaging 370 yards a week and there has been little sign of resistance. On offense the numbers are not much kinder. Tua Tagovailoa has thrown five touchdowns but already four interceptions on just 89 attempts, and the once-feared speed attack has sputtered. Tyreek Hill remains the lone consistent threat with 198 yards and a score, while rookie De'Von Achane offers promise on the ground, yet drives continue to stall."
Both AFC East teams enter the matchup 0-3 and urgently seek a first victory. New York has played competitively, losing two games by a combined four points, and the potential return of Justin Fields could alter Miami's defensive game plan. Tyrod Taylor provided capable backup play but lacks Fields' upside. Several Jets players were limited in practice, raising depth concerns. Miami has allowed over 30 points in every game, ranks last in scoring defense, and its offense has stalled despite Tyreek Hill and rookie De'Von Achane showing flashes. Multiple Dolphins are managing injuries.
