Frank Gore Facing Tough Matchup, Playing-Time Concerns Week 1
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore will likely work behind Kenyan Drake in Sunday's matchup against the Titans. The Titans have a formidable rush defense. Last season they allowed the fourth fewest rushing yards and fourth fewest rushing yards per carry. They were also the seventh ranked rush defense by DVOA. Gore may not see […]

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola will be the slot receiver in Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Titans. With Devante Parker (finger) inactive, Amendola may see additional targets in this game. Amendola has excelled in a slot role, and quarterback Ryan Tannehill fostered one of the most prolific PPR reception machines in Jarvis Landry […]

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills will be the Dolphins No. 1 receiver Sunday against the Titans. Wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) will be inactive, leaving Stills as the primarily downfield threat for Miami. Stills does draw a tough matchup; he is likely going to line up against Malcolm Butler. Butler was once considered among […]

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake will carry most of the load for Miami in Week 1 against the Titans. The Titans have a formidable rush defense.

Elliott Baas 6 years agoRyan Tannehill an Underwhelming Option in Week 1
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is healthy and ready to go for a Week 1 tilt at home against the Titans. The Titans were a sub par pass defense last season, allowing the eighth most passing yards and passing touchdowns last season and also ranked 24th in DVOA. The Titans rectified their woes through the […]

Elliott Baas 6 years agoDolphins Name Both Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore Starters
The Miami Dolphins named either Kenyan Drake or Frank Gore as their starting running backs. Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald was specific in that either one of them could be the starter. It's hard to read the situation based on what the coaches and reporters are saying, but based on preseason usage and production […]
Elliott Baas 6 years agoMarQueis Gray Wins Tight End Job
The Miami Dolphins have named MarQueis Gray as the starting tight end. Gray edged out rookie Mike Gesicki for the starting role. Gray is currently dealing with concussion-like symptoms and is questionable for week one. He is entering his sixth NFL season, but this will be Gray's first opportunity as a starter. He's never had […]
Elliott Baas 6 years agoDolphins Name Starting Wide Receivers
The Miami Dolphins have released their depth chart, naming Danny Amendola, Kenny Stills, and Devante Parker as their three starting wide receivers. This was largely expected, with Albert Wilson the only notable omission. Wilson and Amendola were battling for the slot receiver position, but Amendola ultimately won the job. Stills is the most exciting of […]

The Miami Dolphins have claimed wide receiver Tanner McEvoy off waivers. McEvoy was released by the Seahawks last week Wednesday and was first signed by the Saints three days later, but the Saints then cut him on Saturday. He latched onto the Dolphins and will probably begin the season on the practice squad. At 6'6" […]

Due to some later start times we've got a smaller, eight game slate this Sunday on DraftKings. There were also a few pitchers to have their starts moved, including Max Scherzer, Kyle Gibson, and Pablo Lopez. Because of this many games don't have totals in as of writing this.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler went 16-for-25 passing with 147 yards and two touchdowns to no interceptions in the Dolphins' 34-7 preseason win over the Falcons. Osweiler clearly outperformed David Fales, the other candidate for Miami's backup QB job. Osweiler has fallen a long way from the four year, $72 million dollar contract he signed […]

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage rushed four times for 25 yards in the Dolphins' 34-7 preseason win over the Falcons.

Elliott Baas 6 years agoAlbert Wilson Catches Two Passes Saturday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson caught two passes for ten yards in the Dolphins 27-10 preseason loss to the Ravens. Wilson was out-gained and out-targeted by fellow slot receiver and new addition Danny Amendola in this one. While Amendola looked better Saturday, that isn't necessary a death sentence for Wilson. Wilson played the part […]

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola caught two passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-10 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday.

Elliott Baas 6 years agoKenny Stills Hauls in Three Catches Saturday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills caught three passes for 28 yards in the Dolphins 27-10 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday. Dolphins passers really spread the ball around in this one, as 14 different players caught a pass. Stills was the only one of those 14 to catch more than two passes. With […]
Elliott Baas 6 years agoFrank Gore Rushes for -2 Yards Saturday
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore rushed one time for -2 yards in the Dolphins 27-10 preseason loss to the Ravens on Saturday. He also caught one pass for one yard. Gore had to lobby head coach Adam Gase to even play in this game, so it's unsurprising that he got such little work. At […]

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill was 11-for-16 passing with 115 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-10 preseason loss to the Ravens. Tannehill was one of the few bright spots in a miserable preseason showing from the fins. Coming off a catastrophic knee injury in 2016 Tannehill looks healthy and like vintage Ryan Tannehill. […]

Miami Dolphins rookie tight end Mike Gesicki is be considered the favorite to start at tight end heading into week one.

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore will suit up in game for the first time as a Dolphin Saturday against the Ravens. He has not played in either of the first two preseason games as a coach's decision. At 35-years-old Gore is the oldest running back in the NFL and certainly doesn't need to add […]
