It is hard to “put on a happy face” when looking at the fantasy players involved in Sunday’s Battle of Beatens between the Miami Dolphins and Washington Redskins. So why would we look at it?

Well, because bad teams often have bad defenses. And bad defenses yield good fantasy results. Sure, you might label this a descent into madness equivalent to the new “Joker” movie, but we are the Madman, so we welcome such fantasy madness.

So let’s take six hard-earned dollars and flaunt our “crazy” in a FanDuel tournament. We want to stack both sides of this game. If the defenses prove remarkably more incompetent than the offenses, we stand to be in good shape, considering few are likely to take such an approach.

Both are among the five worst defending opposing fantasy quarterbacks, in the bottom seven against running backs and in the bottom nine against wide receivers. Case Keenum hasn’t been a reliable fantasy contributor since two years ago in Minnesota. That brief stint is more than Josh Rosen gives us to work with, so we insert Keenum ($6,500) into our lineup.

We want at least one of his receivers, so we select Terry McLaurin ($6,400). If it is a shootout, the other side is going to be scoring as well, so we grab a Dolphins receiver. We land on Preston Williams ($5,600) because he has been the best they have so far this year. We’re tempted by Albert Wilson, but he has been dealing with a calf injury.

The passing game isn’t the only weakness of these defenses. So we also take a look at running backs. Adrian Peterson might not rack up yards like he did in the old days, but if the Redskins get near the goal line, he is going to get the ball, and we like his chances to score. Let’s plug him in ($5,300). The Redskins’ run defense has been at the bottom of the league as well, so Kenyan Drake ($5,600) is an intriguing option.

That’s five guys from this Hall of Shame game. That should be plenty to separate this roster from the pack. Now we can look elsewhere, with plenty of salary-cap space for some impact players. We’ll start with the Cowboys defense ($5,000) against a rusty Sam Darnold. It is always wise to play whatever tight end is facing the Cardinals, so in goes Austin Hooper ($6,400).

We want to have a least some exposure to the Texans-Chiefs game, so we gamble that DeAndre Hopkins ($8,400) snaps out of his fantasy funk. Then for Flex, we insert Ezekiel Elliott ($8,500) to pair with our defense.

And now we have a roster. But we also have $2,300 left over in cap room. We don’t have to spend it all, but that is too much left. So we replace Drake with Mark Ingram ($7,500), who plays a generous Bengals run defense.

If this Dolphins-Redskins game produces a point total in the 50s or 60s, that will put a smile on our face. If it is an offensive clown show, well, then the joke is on us.
