The 2025 NFL season is heading into the final stretch, which means the same holds true for fantasy football.
If you’re like me, you’re in a ton of leagues, and many of those involve you jockeying for a better pick in next year’s draft. In other leagues, I started off red hot but faltered over the last few weeks, and I need to hold firm if I want to make the postseason.
Regardless of which side of the line you fall on, if you play fantasy football, your goal should always be to better your roster. And what better time to do it than with the most critical part of the season yet to come?
If you’re a Dolphins fan, you probably already have a few shares or have been sniped by a friend — because you can’t stop talking about them. Either way, with the team coming back from the BYE, and your weekly waivers in the rear-view mirror, NOW might be your last chance — AND THE PERFECT TIME — to get one of these guys on the low.
Here are three players I think can help you win your fantasy football league as the season comes to a close.

I have a few shares of Ollie Gordon II (read: OG2) from my rookie drafts, and the biggest thing I noticed this season was his ability to snipe Achane at the goal line or in short-yardage situations (as expected), and I fully expect that to continue in the coming weeks.
In fact, with Miami getting healthy, one might argue that the team should fully embrace its run-first mentality and continue using the new-look thunder and lightning they’ve shown in recent weeks. Before the BYE, OG2 played a career-high 39% of Miami’s offensive snaps, carrying the ball 9 times for 45 yards and a touchdown.
If the team truly wants to keep this win streak going, they may have to scale back Achane’s workload, to which I say, “What better way than Ollie Gordon II”? #FeedOllieGordonMore
SLEEPER: 21% ROSTERED | 4% START |
Miami struck gold when they landed Malik Washington in the sixth round (184th overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft. One year prior, Washington broke Virginia’s single-season record for receptions (110) and receiving yards (1,426 yards), and since his arrival, he has only improved in Mike McDaniel’s offense.
As a rookie, Washington caught 26 of 36 targets for 223 yards in 14 games with the Dolphins. Already in 2025, he has seen a career high in targets (47) and already has a career high in receptions (33), yards (234), and touchdowns (2). He also continues to make an impact in the run game, carrying the ball 13 times for 78 yards and three first downs.
