Bailey Zappe shines, but Mac Jones deserves chance to take job back: AFC East takeaways
Jason Sanders - Another long miss Sanders converted one of two field-goal tries and his sole extra-point attempt during Sunday's 4-16 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Sanders has now missed from 50-plus yards out in three straight weeks, all of which have been contests that saw Miami's offense struggle due to in-game quarterback injuries. The team should have Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) back under center versus the Steelers in Week 7, so there's optimism that the offense gets right, giving Sanders more stable opportunities.

Cedrick Wilson Jr. - Held without a catch Wilson was not targeted during the Dolphins' 24-16 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Impact Wilson was silent while Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle drew 15 and 10 targets, respectively, in a game that saw Teddy Bridgewater pass for over 300 yards after replacing Skylar Thompson (thumb) in the second quarter. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) could return to the starting lineup in Week 7 versus Pittsburgh, but even if Miami's offense gets its rhythm back, Wilson can safely be left out of fantasy lineups until he shows some flashes of the big-game upside he demonstrated in Dallas last season.
OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Chase Edmonds - Just four touches in loss Edmonds had two carries for three yards and secured both of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Vikings.
Impact He was again overshadowed by Raheem Mostert, who had 14 carries for 49 yards and also saw two targets. Edmonds has now handled less than 50 percent of the offensive snaps in every contest since Week 1 and saw just a 39 percent load versus Minnesota. Until fantasy managers see proof that he has reclaimed a sizeable role in Miami's offense, he should be left on the bench or waiver wire in most formats.
