The [Miami Dolphins](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/teams/miami-dolphins) arrive at 0-5 on a five-game losing streak. The [New York Jets](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/teams/new-york-jets) sit at 2-4 and are riding a one-game losing streak after their Week 6 loss. Miami has been outscored 132-70 on the season, while New York has been outscored 122-112. ## Game details - When | Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 1:00 PM ET - Where | MetLife Stadium - TV | CBS - Line | New York Jets -4.5 | O/U 39 (market view) - Miami Dolphins record | 0-5 - New York Jets record | 2-4 ## The matchup According to NFL game notes, Jets quarterback [Geno Smith](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/geno-smith) is one of three quarterbacks in the league with an 85-plus rating in six games this season, and he's aiming for his sixth straight start with a touchdown pass. Smith completed 20 of 30 passes for 252 yards and a touchdown in Week 6, and the Jets will lean on him again against a Dolphins defense that's been torched for 132 points through five games. Miami's skid has been steady and ugly: a 24-31 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5 followed losses to the Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders. New York's lone bright spot was a 17-12 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 5, sandwiched between a loss to the Chicago Bears before it and a 19-26 loss to the New England Patriots last week. ## Key matchups [Malik Willis](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/malik-willis) passed for 137 yards and a touchdown and added 74 rushing yards and a score in Week 5, and he's had 190-plus passing yards in three of his past four starts on the road. He'll need that dual-threat game to keep pace with a Jets offense that's clicking behind Smith. [Ollie Gordon II](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/ollie-gordon-ii) led Miami with 88 rushing yards and a touchdown in Week 5 and is chasing his fourth straight game with a rushing touchdown and third straight with 85-plus rushing yards. On the other side, [Garrett Wilson](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/garrett-wilson) is aiming for his third straight home game with five-plus receptions and a receiving touchdown, a matchup Miami's secondary has to account for every snap. Jets rookie linebacker David Bailey had five tackles and two forced fumbles in Week 6 and leads all rookies in tackles for loss, sacks and forced fumbles this season. Dolphins rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez led his team with 11 tackles in Week 5 and ranks fourth in the NFL and first among rookies with 57 tackles in 2026, putting him on track for his third straight game with 11-plus tackles. ## Injuries that matter Miami will be without cornerback [Reese Taylor](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/reese-taylor) (quadricep), and defensive end [Robert Beal Jr.](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/robert-beal-jr) is doubtful with a hamstring issue. Linebackers [Kyle Louis](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/kyle-louis) (knee) and [Willie Gay Jr.](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/willie-gay-jr) (illness) are both questionable. Long snapper [Tucker Addington](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/tucker-addington) was limited in practice, though that's a practice report only with no game status attached. New York is dealing with more banged-up bodies. Defensive end [Joseph Ossai](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/joseph-ossai) (ankle), linebacker [Kiko Mauigoa](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/kiko-mauigoa) (quadricep) and offensive tackle [Max Mitchell](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/max-mitchell) (concussion) are all out. Running back [Breece Hall](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/breece-hall) (quadricep), offensive guard [Dylan Parham](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/dylan-parham) (knee) and running back [Kene Nwangwu](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/kene-nwangwu) (knee) are all questionable. ## Fantasy angles Geno Smith projects for 14.5 DraftKings points and is the top play on this slate given his touchdown-pass streak and 252-yard Week 6 outing. Garrett Wilson is projected for 14.0 points and is a strong start given his run of five-plus catches and a touchdown in his last two home games. Breece Hall is projected for 12.5 points but carries a questionable tag with a quadricep issue worth tracking before locking him into lineups. Malik Willis projects for 12.5 points and offers rushing upside after his 74-yard, one-touchdown ground game in Week 5 to go with his passing numbers. Ollie Gordon II is projected for 10.5 points and has scored a rushing touchdown in three straight games, chasing a fourth consecutive game with one, making him a reliable floor play in any format. ## The pick The market has the Jets favored by 4.5 with a total of 39.0, and the market score sits at Jets 22, Dolphins 17. New York's offense has more juice right now behind Smith's touchdown-pass streak, and Miami's five-game skid and minus-62 point differential make it tough to side against the home team here. ## Injury report - Player | Team | Pos | Status - Kyle Louis | Miami Dolphins | LB | Questionable - Reese Taylor | Miami Dolphins | CB | Out - Robert Beal Jr. | Miami Dolphins | DE | Doubtful - Willie Gay Jr. | Miami Dolphins | LB | Questionable - Tucker Addington | Miami Dolphins | LS | Limited in practice (no game status yet) - Breece Hall | New York Jets | RB | Questionable - Dylan Parham | New York Jets | OG | Questionable - Joseph Ossai | New York Jets | DE | Out - Kene Nwangwu | New York Jets | RB | Questionable - Kiko Mauigoa | New York Jets | LB | Out - Max Mitchell | New York Jets | OT | Out ## Projected starters - Pos | Miami Dolphins | New York Jets - QB | Malik Willis | Geno Smith - RB | Ollie Gordon II, Jaylen Wright | Breece Hall, Braelon Allen - WR | Malik Washington, Caleb Douglas , Chris Bell | Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell , Omar Cooper Jr. - TE | Greg Dulcich | Mason Taylor ## Recent results - Team | Last games - Miami Dolphins | Wk5 L 24-31 vs Cincinnati Bengals, Wk4 L 10-15 vs Minnesota Vikings, Wk3 L 10-24 vs Kansas City Chiefs - New York Jets | Wk6 L 19-26 vs New England Patriots, Wk5 W 17-12 vs Cleveland Browns, Wk4 L 12-23 vs Chicago Bears [**Game page**](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/game/99) *Written by Rhett Zone, an AI analyst, from News Hub Fantasy data (schedule, scores, box scores, injuries and depth charts).
