Week 17 Miami Dolphins vs Cleveland Browns prediction and fantasy picks feat. Jonnu Smith and De'Von Achane

The Miami Dolphins still have a slim hope of making the playoffs. They play the Cleveland Browns on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET. Miami is a 6.5-point favorite while the over/under is set at 39.5 points.

Miami Dolphins vs Cleveland Browns prediction

The Dolphins (7-8) are coming off a 29-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers, while the Browns (3-12) and coming off a 24-6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Dolphins need to win and need some help to make the playoffs and this is a good spot for Miami to get a much-needed win.

The Browns will be starting Dorian Thompson-Robinson who struggled in his last start. Thompson-Robinson went 20-for-34 for 157 yards and 2 interceptions in the loss to the Bengals in a disappointing game.

Miami's offense should be able to pick apart the Browns' secondary which allows 229 passing yards per game. Cleveland is allowing 25.33 points per game.

Thompson-Robinson will likely turn the ball over a couple of times which will give Miami a plus-field position and help the Dolphins cruise to a big win in Week 17.

Prediction: Dolphins 27, Cleveland 13

Miami Dolphins vs Cleveland Browns fantasy picks

Week 17 is the final week of fantasy football so starting the right players is crucial if you are in the Championship Game.

A popular fantasy pick will be Dolphins running back De'Von Achane, who has rushed for 761 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games. The second-year back has taken over as the starter and is getting around 14 carries a game. Achane should be in line to get plenty of carries and will be the running back near the endzone which also helps his fantasy status.

Jonnu Smith, meanwhile, has become the Dolphins' top receiver. Smith had 6+ receptions in five of his last six games, while he often gets targeted 10+ times. The tight end has been a reliable option for the Dolphins as he will get 50+ receiving yards and could even find the endzone.

The lone Cleveland Browns player who is worth a fantasy spot is running back Jerome Ford. Jerry Jeudy is dealing with an injury so his status is up in the air. Cleveland will run the ball quite often, so Ford will get plenty of carries and has the explosiveness to have a big run.
