Mike Gesicki - Five catches in Week 15 win Gesicki caught five of eight targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.
Impact Gesicki tied DeVante Parker for the team lead in targets but trailed both Parker (68) and Isaiah Ford (51) in receiving yards. The tight end has been reliable but far from spectacular, as he's topped 40 yards while coming up short of 60 in eight of 14 games this season. All told, Gesicki has 64 catches for 685 yards and two touchdowns heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Saints.

Myles Gaskin - Cedes lead role to Johnson in win Gaskin rushed 10 times for 54 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.
Impact Gaskin was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, so he had limited practice reps heading into this game and thus ceded the majority of the workload to Duke Johnson, who rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns on 22 attempts. The strong performance from Johnson could prompt the Colts to keep him in a timeshare with Gaskin, if not the lead role, in Week 16 against the Saints.

Tua Tagovailoa - Overcomes miscues to top Jets Tagovailoa completed 16 of 27 passes for 196 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets. He added 19 yards on seven rushing attempts.
Impact Tagovailoa got off to an awful start while adjusting to the absence of favorite target Jaylen Waddle (illness). He recovered his own fumble on the game's third play but was immediately tackled to create a 3-and-out on Miami's opening drive, then threw an interception on his first pass of the game to lead off the following drive. New York took advantage of Tua's early struggles and raced out to a 10-0 lead, but the Dolphins responded with a pair of Duke Johnson rushing touchdowns and a one-yard Tagovailoa touchdown pass to defensive lineman Christian Wilkins to take a 24-17 lead. Tua then tied it for the Jets with a pick-six but bounced back by throwing the game-winning touchdown to DeVante Parker from 11 yards out with 3:37 remaining. He led the Dolphins to a sixth consecutive win but will need to clean up the errors in order to extend that streak in Week 16 against the Saints.

DeVante Parker - Sets up two TDs then scores one Parker caught four of eight targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.
Impact Working as Miami's top wide receiver with Jaylen Waddle on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Parker led the team in receiving yards and tied tight end Mike Gesicki for the lead in targets. He set up Miami's first touchdown by getting the ball down to the two-yard line with a 37-yard catch, then set up the go-ahead score early in the fourth quarter by drawing a pass interference penalty in the end zone. After the Jets tied it up, Parker finally got into the end zone himself from 11 yards out to round out the scoring with 3:37 remaining. Regardless of Waddle's status in Week 16 against the Saints, Parker should continue to occupy a starting role on the outside.

Duke Johnson - Excels in lead role Johnson rushed 22 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets. He also caught his only target for 20 yards.
Impact Johnson worked as Miami's lead back over Myles Gaskin, who recently returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list. The former Browns and Texans running back scored his first rushing touchdown since Week 9 of last season from one yard out in the second quarter, then found paydirt again on a six-yard run in the third. Miami's running game faced one of the league's most generous run defenses in this one but will draw one of the toughest assignments in that regard in Week 16 against the Saints.
