Jordan James
RB
San Francisco 49ers
- Teammate Christian McCaffrey (a top target) is questionable.
- Teammate Mike Evans (a top target) is questionable.
- Backfield mate Christian McCaffrey is questionable, so James could see more carries.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how RBs have played against the Dolphins in the 2026 season.
RB2 = the second-highest-scoring RB against Dolphins in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Jordan James should do vs the DolphinsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Dolphins, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Jordan James has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Dolphins opponents to line them up with: the best RB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Jordan James will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Dolphins avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Jordan James's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Jordan James usually produces.
Projected is Jordan James's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Dolphins were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | MIA | 4 | 15 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1.5 |
| 7 | ATL | 1 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 11 | 0 | 2.7 |
| James avg | 2.5 | 10.5 | 0.0 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 5.5 | 0.0 | 2.1 | |
| Dolphins RB2 avg | 7.0 | 41.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 4.1 | |
| Difference | +4.5 | +30.5 | +0.0 | -0.5 | -0.5 | -5.5 | +0.0 | +2.0 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what James averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
