Miami Dolphins DFS Spin
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Tua Tagovailoa’s ankle injury is not a factor for the team’s Week 14 game against the Chargers. Tua went down with the ankle injury near the end of Miami’s Week 13 loss to the 49ers. He was listed as questionable to return but the Dolphins only ran one more offensive play for the remainder of the game. Skylar Thompson threw an interception on that rep. Tua will be cleared from the injury report later today. He ranks as a high-end QB1 in a potential shootout with the Chargers.
Los Angeles Chargers DFS Spin
Justin Herbert completed 28-of-47 passes for 335 yards and one touchdown in the Chargers’ 27-20, Week 13 loss to the Raiders. Watching Herbert attempt to gut out a win despite a decimated roster has become a weekly occurrence. In this week’s episode, he overcame five sacks and multiple pressures to stay within one possession of the Raiders, with his lone touchdown pass coming on a 35-yard bomb to Keenan Allen on a 4th and 12 play. With under a minute to go in the game, Herbert and company would have one more chance to drive 90 yards to tie the game. However, with no timeouts to aid them in this near-impossible task, the Chargers fell short and dropped to 6-6 in what’s becoming yet another forgettable season for the Bolts. Things don’t get any easier for them next week when they host the Dolphins on Sunday night. Despite having no receivers, no offensive line and no time to throw, Herbert should still be treated as a top-12 quarterback next week.
