Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 7 Worksheet breaks down the Dolphins‑Jets clash, highlighting a 4.5-point spread favoring Miami and an implied total of 22.0. The Jets rank 4th in rushing EPA (‑26.8) but 22nd in passing EPA (‑18.5) and have the league’s lowest red‑zone TD conversion (37.5%). Miami, still winless to any lead, allows a league‑high 76.6% completion rate and 2.75 points per drive. Geno Smith (68.9% completion, 0 INT) is a high‑success‑rate QB2 option against a defense that struggles on short passes, while Malik Willis remains a QB2 with limited passing upside but growing rushing value. The data helps fantasy managers gauge quarterback and skill‑position upside for this low‑scoring matchup.
