Ready to crush the next 2024 DraftKings Monday Night Football Showdown slate of Tennessee @Miami? Whether you’re locking in a star like Tyreek Hill as your captain or hunting for value plays like Josh Whyle, there’s a lot to consider as you build your lineup.
This game could go in several directions, with De’Von Achane and Tony Pollard set to lead the ground attacks for their respective teams. Expect Tyler Huntley to bring a new dimension to Miami’s offense, while Will Levis will need to cut down on turnovers if the Titans hope to stay competitive. The Dolphins’ defense has shown flashes of dominance, while Tennessee’s unit has been inconsistent, setting up an intriguing battle between two teams looking to gain momentum.
DraftKings MNF Showdown 2024 – Tennessee @Miami Captain Picks
Tyreek Hill ($16,500 Capt/ $11,000 Flex)
Tyreek Hill’s explosive playmaking ability makes him a constant threat, but his fantasy ceiling has been hampered by Miami’s quarterback situation. With Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle struggling to deliver consistent targets, Hill’s production has taken a dip, as he managed just 40 yards on 3 receptions last week. However, Hill’s game-breaking speed can’t be ignored, and he still leads the Dolphins’ receiving corps, making him a must-consider captain if you believe Miami’s offense can find its rhythm. If Tyler Huntley can provide some stability at QB, Hill’s potential for a massive game increases dramatically.
De’Von Achane ($15,900 Capt/ $10,600 Flex)
De’Von Achane remains a strong captain option, especially with Raheem Mostert sidelined. While he struggled to find much running room last week against the Seahawks’ aggressive defense, Achane still contributed in both the ground and passing game, tallying 58 total yards on 14 touches. Despite the Dolphins’ quarterback issues, Achane’s explosive speed and versatility make him a high-ceiling play. With Miami likely leaning on him heavily in this matchup, Achane is primed for another lead-back role and offers solid upside.
Tony Pollard ($15,000 Capt/ $10,000 Flex)
Tony Pollard has established himself as the workhorse in Tennessee’s backfield, seeing consistent touches both as a rusher and receiver. Last week, he logged 17 carries for 62 yards and added 5 receptions for 40 yards, making him a solid dual-threat option. With Tyjae Spears dealing with an ankle injury, Pollard’s role as the primary ball carrier is even more secure, making him an ideal captain candidate. His versatility and volume give him a high floor, especially if the Titans aim to control the clock against Miami’s defense.
Tyler Huntley ($14,400 Capt/ $9,600 Flex)
Tyler Huntley will make his first start for the Dolphins after being signed off the Ravens’ practice squad. Known for his mobility and quick decision-making, Huntley could add a new dynamic to Miami’s offense, especially after Skylar Thompson’s struggles. While the offense might lean heavily on the run game, Huntley’s ability to create plays with his legs and extend drives makes him an intriguing captain pick. If he can find a connection with Tyreek Hill or De’Von Achane, Huntley could deliver solid fantasy value.
DraftKings MNF Showdown 2024 – Tennessee @Miami Flex Picks
Will Levis ($9,200 Flex)
Levis showed improvement last week, throwing for 260 yards and two touchdowns on 26-of-34 passing in a loss to the Packers. However, his turnover issues continued with two interceptions and a fumble, including a costly pick-six, making him a high-risk, high-reward flex option in this game.
Jaylen Waddle ($8,000 Flex)
Waddle’s production was hindered by inconsistent quarterback play last week, as he managed just 26 yards on 4 receptions. With Miami’s offense struggling under backup QBs Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle, Waddle’s upside is capped, but he still remains a key part of the Dolphins’ game plan.
Calvin Ridley ($7,800 Flex)
Ridley’s lone impact last week came from a single 9-yard catch in the Titans’ loss to the Packers, despite being targeted three times. While his performance has been volatile due to Levis’ inconsistency, Ridley remains a big-play threat capable of turning things around.
DeAndre Hopkins ($7,400 Flex)
Hopkins delivered his first touchdown of the season against the Packers, tallying 6 catches for 73 yards on 7 targets. Though his snap count was limited due to a lingering knee injury, he led the team in receiving and remains a focal point of the Titans’ passing attack.
Tyjae Spears ($5,800 Flex)
Spears contributed 54 yards through the air on 4 receptions, while his ground game was limited to just 7 yards on 2 carries in last week’s loss. Despite battling an ankle injury, Spears managed to spark a key drive in the third quarter, but his opportunities remain limited behind Tony Pollard.
Tyler Boyd ($5,400 Flex)
Boyd has quietly maintained a consistent role in Tennessee’s offense, catching 3 passes for 33 yards on 4 targets last week. Though he’s seeing regular playing time, Boyd’s production has been underwhelming, making him a lower-ceiling flex option.
Chig Okonkwo ($3,600 Flex)
Okonkwo caught both of his targets for 15 yards against the Packers, but he has yet to top 16 receiving yards in any game this season. With Josh Whyle starting to emerge as a more productive option in the passing game, Okonkwo’s fantasy ceiling looks limited moving forward.
Dart Throw Plays (Various)
Here are a few dart plays to round out your lineup. These are high-risk, high-reward picks best suited for GPPs—not for cash games:
- Jonnu Smith (TE, MIA) $3,200 Flex – Smith caught 2 of 3 targets for 18 yards in the loss to the Seahawks, but he struggled to build chemistry with Miami’s backup quarterbacks. With Tyler Huntley now under center, Smith’s role in the passing game remains limited, making him a risky flex option.
- Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, MIA) $3,000 Flex – He had 3 carries for 14 yards in Week 3, but his involvement was minimal as the Dolphins shifted to a pass-heavy game script. He’s a risky option unless Miami can establish the run early against Tennessee.
- Josh Whyle (TE, TEN) $2,400 Flex – Whyle was a bright spot for the Titans last week, catching 4 passes for 43 yards while playing 47% of the snaps. He finished second on the team in targets, positioning him as a sneaky value play in the passing game.
- Nick Vannett (TE, TEN) $2,000 Flex – He played on 25% of Tennessee’s snaps and secured 2 targets for 9 yards, including a touchdown. Primarily used as a blocker, his fantasy value is touchdown-dependent, making him a boom-or-bust play.
- Treylon Burks (WR, TEN) $1,600 Flex has struggled with injuries and only caught 1 of his 3 targets last week. While Tennessee’s WR room is crowded, Burks has the potential for a solid performance if he can stay healthy.
- Braxton Berrios (WR, MIA) $1,200 Flex – Berrios hasn’t caught a pass this season, but he made an impact in the return game with a 31-yard kickoff return and a 44-yard punt return last week. His offensive upside is limited, but he could be paired with the Dolphins DST for added value from special teams.
DraftKings MNF Showdown 2024 – Tennessee @Miami Kickers and DSTs
Nick Folk ($5,000) has been a steady presence for the Titans, but last week he didn’t have much opportunity to showcase his leg, failing to attempt a single field goal in Tennessee’s loss to the Packers. Despite the lack of chances, Folk remains perfect on the season, converting all of his kicks, including two extra points last week. With the Titans’ offense struggling to find the end zone, Folk could see more field goal opportunities in this matchup, making him a reliable option if Tennessee stalls in the red zone. Jason Sanders ($4,800) struggled last week, making only 1 of 2 field goal attempts in Miami’s loss to the Seahawks. However, with the Dolphins dealing with injuries at quarterback, Sanders was responsible for the team’s only points, highlighting how critical he is to Miami’s scoring potential. As the Dolphins lean on their kicker in what could be a low-scoring game, Sanders is a strong flex play, especially if Miami’s offense continues to sputter in the absence of their top QBs.
Dolphins DST ($4,200) has been solid for most of the season, despite allowing 17 points in the first quarter against the Seahawks last week. This unit tends to lock down in the second half, giving up only 14 total points after halftime across the last three games. Facing a Titans offense that ranks near the bottom in points per game, total yards, passing yards, and rushing yards, the Dolphins DST should have a favorable matchup. If you believe Miami can shut down the struggling Titans offense, this defense is worth considering for your lineup. Titans DST ($4,000) started the season hot, being ranked the number one defense after the first two weeks. However, Week 3 brought them back to reality when they were torched by the Packers. Still, they remain a top-five defense, and with pressure on them to bounce back, they’ll need to tighten up and secure tackles. Currently allowing 26 points per game (tied for 24th most in the league), the Titans are a risky option, but if they can recapture their early-season form, they could pay off against a Miami offense that’s been hampered by quarterback injuries.
