Kenyan Drake Totals 54 Yards In Loss Week 16
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was the team's most involved running back in Miami's 17-7 loss to Jacksonville in Week 16. 'Unfortunately, being the team's most involved back didn't amount to much today. Drake rushed six times for 23 yards and caught four passes for 31 yards. The Dolphins offense was downright anemic in […]

Kalen Ballage Disappoints In Week 16
Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage had an underwhelming day in Miami's 17-7 loss to Jacksonville. Coming off a 123, one touchdown performance big things were expected of Ballage in this game. Instead he rushed just four times for 10 yards and caught two passes for 39 yards. The Dolphins offense was pitiful in this […]

Ryan Tannehill Has Another Poor Day Week 16
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill was lackluster yet again in Miami's 17-7 loss to Jacksonville. Tannehill went 15-for-22 passing for 146 yards along with one touchdown and one interception. Tannehill's future with Miami has been in question given his poor performance all season, and games like this certainly don't help his case. He should be […]

Kalen Ballage Looking At Increased Role Week 16
Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage should be in line for a larger role in Miami's Week 16 matchup against Jacksonville. Ballage took over for an injured Frank Gore last week and took advantage of the opportunity by rushing for 123 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. Ballage doesn't draw the easiest matchup; the […]

Danny Amendola A Low-Ceiling WR4 In Week 16
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is a poor option in Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars have allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, and Amendola has had a total of five catches for 53 yards over his last three games. He did garner eight targets last week, […]

Kenny Stills A Poor Option In Week 16
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is a high-risk, low-reward option in Week 16 against Jacksonville. Stills has hauled in more than four passes just once all season, and has gained more than 40 receiving yards only once in his last nine games. Both of those occurred in Week 14 against New England. Miami takes […]

Kenyan Drake A Dicey Flex Play Week 16
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is a risky flex option in Week 16 against the Jaguars. In theory, Frank Gore's injury should create more opportunities for Drake, but Kalen Ballage's 123 yard performance last week probably gives Ballage the edge in playing time. Drake only received one carry last week against Minnesota, as the […]

Ryan Tannehill A Low-End Quarterback In Week 16
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is not a good fantasy option in a Week 16 matchup against the Jaguars. Tannehill is banged up with minor injuries to both his shoulder and ankle, and while he's expect to play, Tannehill faces a tough defense. Despite Jacksonville's struggles, the Jaguars pass defense has held steady this season. […]

Frank Gore Won't Need Surgery, Eyes 2019 Return
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore (foot), who was placed on injured reserve after suffering a foot sprain in Miami's 41-17 loss to Minnesota in Week 15, will not require surgery. Gore told reporters he hopes to return to Miami in 2019. Gore will be 36 by Week 1 of next season, but he's proven […]

Week 16 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups
It's Championship week in most fantasy football leagues, and a rough week to be streaming quarterbacks at that. Most of the truly terrible defenses are taking on universally owned quarterbacks, which means slim pickings on waivers. Philip Rivers against the Ravens and Jared Goff against the Cardinals are the two highly-owned quarterbacks facing tough matchups […]

DeVante Parker Puts Up Zeros In Week 15
Miami Dolphins Devante Parker may as well not have shown up for work on Sunday. He caught zero passes on one target in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. Ryan Tannehill was sacked nine times in this game and only threw for 108 yards, so naturally Miami receivers struggled to produce. Parker hasn't been good […]

Kenny Stills Catches One Pass In Week 15
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills was practically invisible in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. He caught one pass on three targets for 17 yards. Ryan Tannehill was under pressure all game and didn't have time to wait for things to develop downfield, which hurts Stills' specifically based on his skill set. Stills is […]

Danny Amendola Hauls In Three Passes Week 15
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola led the team in receiving in Week 15 in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. That isn't saying much, however, as Amendola caught just three passes for 30 yards in this one. Ryan Tannehill was under pressure all day and had just 108 yards passing total. Amendola hasn't been […]

Kalen Ballage Explodes In Week 15
Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage had the best game of his young career in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. Ballage took on a larger role after Frank Gore left with a foot sprain, and Ballage rushed for 123 yards on 12 carries, including a 75-yard touchdown run. Prior to this game Ballage had […]

Kenyan Drake Has Just Four Touches In Loss
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake took a backseat in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. Drake rushed once for six yards and caught three passes for 28 yards. Frank Gore suffered a foot sprain earlier in this game, but the Dolphins elected to use Kalen Ballage as their primary ball-carrier in Gore's absence. Ballage […]

Ryan Tannehill Has Lackluster Day In Blowout Loss
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill had a poor day in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. Tannehill was 11-for-24 passing for 108 yards and with no touchdowns or interceptions. Tannehill was abused by Minnesota's pass rush; he was sacked nine times. Miami's banged up offensive line was no match for Minnesota's defense. Even at his […]

DeVante Parker A Desperation Play Week 15
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker is nothing more than a desperation play in a Week 15 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Parker caught just one pass on four targets last week, and has been maddeningly inconsistent all season. The Vikings have a tough secondary, having allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers […]

Danny Amendola Should Be Avoided In Week 15
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is in a rough spot in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have allowed the third-fewest points to opposing wide receivers, and Amendola has had exactly one catch on one target in each of his last two games. Amendola had a little PPR appeal earlier in the […]

Kenny Stills Facing Tough Defense In Week 15
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is facing tough competition in Miami's Week 15 tilt with the Minnesota Vikings. Led by shutdown corner Xavier Rhodes, the Vikings have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Stills is coming off his best game, an eight-catch, 135-yard performance in Week 14 against New […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex In Week 15
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore must take on a tough defense in Week 15, as the Dolphins face the Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota. The Vikings have allowed the eighth-fewest points per game to opposing running backs along with the seventh-fewest yards per carry. Gore has done well with his carries this year; his 4.7 […]

Kenyan Drake A Boom-Or-Bust Flex Week 15
Miami Dolphins running back will look to build off his heroics from last week in a Week 15 tilt with the Minnesota Vikings. Drake made his day last week on a 55-yard walk-off double-lateral. Obviously, that isn't something that can be relied on from week to week, which makes a Drake a high-risk flex against […]

Ryan Tannehill A Poor Option In Week 15
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is not a great option at quarterback in Week 15 against Minnesota. Tannehill has been dealing with an ankle injury all week, and while he's expected to play, he's facing a Minnesota defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Tannehill is already a low-end QB2 […]

Week 15 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

If that's not the case don't fear, there are still good streaming options available in plenty of leagues. There are a few tough matchups for highly-owned quarterbacks this week.

Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is, in this writer’s opinion, better than his numbers have shown over the course of the season. He unfortunately suffers from a dearth of talent surrounding him on the Oakland offense, particularly on the offensive line. While his supporting cast […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is obviously contingent on Lamar Jackson’s status for next week, but if Jackson’s injury is more serious than initially believed than Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will fall into a dream matchup against Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers have allowed the third-most fantasy points […]

Jeff Driskel (QB, CIN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This one is purely matchup-based, as Cincinnati Bengals tight end Jeff Driskel hasn’t done much to prove himself since taking over for Andy Dalton in Week 12. He hasn’t been bad, but he’s been a low-ceiling game-manager type. His already low-ceiling is hurt with A.J. Green on the […]

Josh Allen (QB, BUF) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen meets the ownership threshold to be a deep-league option, he can be considered in leagues of all depth. Allen has been everything we’ve wanted Lamar Jackson to be since Allen returned from injury. In his three games […]

Danny Amendola Catches Only Target In Week 14
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola made an underwhelming return to the field in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Amendola caught one pass on one target for ten yards. He sat out Week 13 with a knee injury, and perhaps that injury affected his target share. However, the team only threw […]

DeVante Parker Catches One Pass In Week 14
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker was scarcely involved in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Parker caught one pass on four targets for 18 yards.
