Is this the week that the Dolphins get back on track? This Miami team got out to a 3-0 start before losing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to a concussion against the Bengals in Week 4. The Dolphins struggled mightily without Tua at the controls, but all signs point to him returning for a get-right game against the Steelers. On the other side, Pittsburgh is coming off a massive win over Tampa Bay and is looking to build moment in a loaded AFC. Thursday Night Football produced a rare high-scoring primetime game this season, so there could be points on the horizon in this matchup.
Let’s see if we can find some player props in this AFC showdown.
Najee Harris, RB, PIT Over 41.5 rushing yards (-120)
Line available on FanDuel Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
At this point in the season, it’s clear that Pittsburgh is having serious trouble establishing the run. However, this line is still too low for a team that will be looking to give the ball to its starting running back at least 15 times. Najee Harris has cleared this number in 4 of the Steelers’ 6 games this season, despite Pittsburgh’s struggles on the offensive line. Harris has been unable to break off explosive runs while only averaging just over 3 yards per carry. Despite all of this, there is light at the end of the tunnel for Harris. After all, Pittsburgh has faced some elite run defenses in Tampa Bay, Buffalo, Cincinnati and New England. Against a Miami front that is allowing more than 100 rush yards per game, Harris should see success on Sunday.

Tyreek Hill, WR, MIA Over 6.5 receptions (+105)
Line available on FanDuel Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
While this is a fairly high line for a wide receiver, it still seems low for Tyreek Hill. Hill has clearly established himself as the main focal point in this Dolphins offense, averaging over 8 receptions per game this season. The speedy wideout is a difference maker and is consistently featured no matter which quarterback throws him the ball. Against a Steelers secondary that is dealing with injuries, Hill should be the beneficiary of using short, quick timing routes to get the ball into his hands. The Dolphins’ top receiver has cleared this number in all but one game this season, so I like the value we’re getting at plus money. Look for that success to continue on Sunday night.
