Fields Expected to Start vs. Winless Dolphins

The winless Miami Dolphins (0-3) host the New York Jets (0-3) Monday night, Sept. 29, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens in Week 4, a game televised on ABC/ESPN with streaming options. Miami is roughly a 2.5-point favorite with a game total near 44.5, and betting/prop markets have been influenced by turnover concerns and explosive-play potential. The Jets are expected to start Justin Fields after a concussion and plan to jump-start the offense by emphasizing short throws to Garrett Wilson and the run with Breece Hall. Miami’s offense has sputtered due to Tua Tagovailoa’s turnovers and offensive-line injuries, though coach Mike McDaniel says morale is high and backs De’Von Achane and rookie Ollie Gordon II have been bright spots; Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller is slated to make his Dolphins debut but was limited in practice, and Jaylen Waddle has a shoulder issue but appears on track to play. The matchup is effectively a must-win for both clubs and will likely be decided by turnovers, Miami’s ability to generate explosive plays, and whether New York can protect and quickly distribute the ball.
