The 29-year-old is a bruising presence in the backfield and one of the team\u2019s captains. When he has a good game, the Cardinals usually win.<\/p>\n<h2>Dolphins Player to Watch<\/h2>\n<p>Tua Tagovailoa is expected to start for the first time since Week 2, when he was concussed in the third quarter and later placed on injured reserve. Tagovailoa, who led the NFL in yards in 2023, leads Miami\u2019s quarterbacks with 483 yards this season despite missing four games. He completed 64.5% of his passes with two touchdowns and three interceptions. The Dolphins are hoping his return will help spark their offense, which is averaging a league-worst 11.7 points per game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SovrnAd Advertisement sovrn-story-feed proper-dynamic-insertion\" data-module=\"\" data-class=\"sovrn-story-feed\" data-delayadinsertion=\"\" data-ad-position=\"6\">\n<div class=\"proper-ad-unit\">\n<div id=\"proper-ad-apnews_story_feed_4\" data-google-query-id=\"COnD6tSWqYkDFUl0DwIdeeAdyg\">\n<h2>Key matchup<\/h2>\n<p>RB James Conner vs. Dolphins run defense. Kyler Murray called Conner a \u201csafety valve\u201d after Sunday\u2019s performance. Conner is sixth in the NFL with 504 rushing yards and has helped Arizona rush for more than 150 yards as a team in three of its past five games. The weakest part of the Dolphins\u2019 defense is the inability to stop the run \u2014 allowing 130.7 rushing yards per game. The Dolphins are winless (0-5) vs top-10 rushing offenses since the start of last season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"HTMLModuleEnhancement\" data-align-center=\"\">\n<div class=\"HTMLModuleEnhancement-item\">\n<div class=\"HTMLModuleEnhancement-embed\">\n<div class=\"HtmlModule\" data-module-tracksubscribe=\"\" data-gtm-topic=\"No Value\" data-module-number=\"2\" data-main-module-number=\"2\"><a id=\"html-embed-module-e30000\" class=\"AnchorLink\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"taboola_readmore\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"embed-caption\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Key injuries<\/h2>\n<p>Dolphins: Backup QB Tyler Huntley is not expected to be available Sunday after injuring his right throwing shoulder last week. Starting safety Jevon Holland is dealing with a hand injury that sidelined him in Week 7. Starting CB Kader Kohou missed Wednesday\u2019s practice because of a neck injury. &#8230; CB Cam Smith (hamstring) could make his season debut after being activated off IR on Monday. Cardinals: LB Dennis Gardeck (knee) is out for the season after tearing his ACL against the Cardinals. That\u2019s the fourth prominent Arizona defensive player who is out for the season, including LB BJ Ojulari (knee), DL Justin Jones (triceps) and DL Bilal Nichols (stinger). &#8230; CB Sean Murphy-Bunting (neck), DL Roy Lopez (ankle) are battling injuries and missed Wednesday\u2019s practice. &#8230; Rookie DL Darius Robinson (calf) has missed the first seven games of the season but could make his debut on Sunday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SovrnAd Advertisement sovrn-story-feed proper-dynamic-insertion\" data-module=\"\" data-class=\"sovrn-story-feed\" data-delayadinsertion=\"\" data-ad-position=\"7\">\n<div class=\"proper-ad-unit\">\n<div id=\"proper-ad-apnews_story_feed_5\" data-google-query-id=\"CMnW6teWqYkDFRHnTAIdV4cowA\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/15786418\/APNews\/site\/apnews_story_feed\/dynamic_5_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Infobox\" data-module=\"\" data-gtm-region=\"The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season!

Each of those games was decided by four points or fewer. &#8230; Tagovailoa completed 20 of 28 passes for 248 yards and 2 touchdowns in Miami\u2019s win over Arizona in 2020. &#8230; Miami\u2019s .769 winning percentage against Arizona is the team\u2019s second best against any opponent.<\/p>\n<h2>Stats and stuff<\/h2>\n<p>The Cardinals are trying to win back-to-back games for the first time since 2021. &#8230; Arizona\u2019s offensive line has allowed just 11 sacks, which is the fifth fewest in the NFL. &#8230; QB Kyler Murray has led 12 game-winning drives over his six-year career, including in Monday\u2019s 17-15 win over the Chargers. &#8230; K Chad Ryland, filling in for the injured Matt Prater, has made two game-winning field goals over the past three games. &#8230; Miami DT Calais Campbell played the first nine seasons of his career with the Cardinals after being drafted in the second round in 2008. &#8230; Murray has run for touchdowns of 50 and 44 yards this season. He\u2019s just the fourth QB since 1966 to run for two TDs of 40-plus yards in one season. &#8230; Arizona is averaging 150.3 yards rushing per game this season, which ranks sixth in the league. &#8230; Rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr. has caught four TD passes this season. &#8230; With a win, the Dolphins would get their seventh victory against an NFC opponent under coach Mike McDaniel. &#8230; The Dolphins will induct former DT Tim Bowens as the 28th member of the team\u2019s Ring of Honor at halftime. Bowens played his entire 11-year NFL career with Miami from 1994-2004. He had 407 tackles, 22 sacks, nine forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries. The Dolphins team rushed for 188 yards with 4.7 yards per carry on 40 attempts last Sunday against the Colts. Miami\u2019s 115 rushing yards in the first half was the team\u2019s second time this season with 100-plus rushing yards in a half. &#8230; Miami\u2019s 41 rushing attempts at New England and its 40 carries at Indianapolis were the second and third games with 40-plus rushing attempts under Mike McDaniel. &#8230; The Dolphins have the best passing defense in the NFL despite only three interceptions on the season.<\/p>\n<h2>Fantasy tip<\/h2>\n<div id=\"optimizelyHubpeekId\" class=\"optimizelyHubpeekClass\"><\/div>\n<p>Tyreek Hill had a message for fantasy owners who may be disgruntled with his lack of production in recent weeks: \u201cWe\u2019re back, baby. Start me this week, baby, let\u2019s go.\u201d Coach Mike McDaniel said this week that he has to find ways to get Hill more involved in the offense after the receiver was targeted just once against the Colts. That should be easier on Sunday with Tagovailoa\u2019s expected return, as Hill has been his top target since joining the Dolphins in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Against the spread: Dolphins 1-5; Cardinals 4-3.
