Preston Williams Does Little in Loss

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams was a popular sleeper heading into a favorable Week 6 matchup, as the Washington Redskins were bringing in one of the league's worst defenses. However, those bold owners who took a chance on Williams were rewarded with a dud, as he caught just two passes for 31 yards and […]

Late Touchdown by Devante Parker Isn't Enough

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker made the last of his three receptions count on Sunday, with an 11-yard touchdown catch with just six seconds remaining in Miami's 17-16 loss to the Washington Redskins. Parker has now caught a touchdown in his last two games but was only targeted a total of eight times in […]

Kenyan Drake Continues to Disappoint

Coming off a bye week, Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake seemed finally set up for success in Week 6, with the Dolphins facing a Washington Redskins Defense that was allowing over 400 yards of offense per game. However, Drake only set his owners up for another dud, rushing 10 times for forty yards in […]

Josh Rosen Benched in Loss

Coming off of a bye and facing one of the league's most generous defenses, the stars seemed to be aligned for Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen to show his true talent in Week 6. Rosen was instead benched to start the fourth quarter after throwing for just 85 yards on 15-of-25 passing, leading Miami to […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick's Magic Can't Make Win Appear

Called upon in the fourth quarter to take over an offense that had thus far been stagnant, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick almost pulled out Miami's first win of the season in Week 6 before ultimately losing to the Washington Redskins 17-16. Fitzpatrick entered the game and led the Dolphins on two touchdown drives, including […]

Preston Williams Could Surge in Value

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams is on a team that seems to be actively trying to lose, but he could still be in for a big week with the winless Washington Redskins coming into town. While Williams has only scored one touchdown in 2019 and has yet to reach 70 yards in any game, […]

Devante Parker Has Important Audition in Week 6

The subject of trade rumors all season, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker will have his best chance to succeed before the October 29 trade deadline, as he's facing a great matchup against the Washington Redskins in Week 6. Usually a touchdown-dependent boom-or-bust option, Parker scored for the first time in Miami's last game and […]

Kenyan Drake Enters the Conversation

Like the rest of his winless team, Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake has been a fantasy dud in 2019 thus far, totaling just 220 yards and zero touchdowns in four games. The good news is that after getting only six touches in Week 1, Drake's usage has been steadily increasing, with him receiving 11, […]

Josh Rosen Could Finally Find Success

Recently confirmed by head coach Brian Flores as the starter for the remainder of the season, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen has his best chance to shine in Week 6 with the winless Washington Redskins coming to town. While the Dolphins are certainly horrible, Rosen's performances haven't been helped by an early schedule filled with […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 6

This is Christian McCaffrey's fantasy world and we're all just living in it. At this point, it's just that simple, as it doesn't seem to matter who he's playing with or against. Run CMC is running and catching whatever and whenever he wants. If you played against him in Week 5 (*cough-cough*), you probably got […]

Wayne Gallman Won't Return After Concussion

Starting again in place of an injured Saquon Barkley, New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman won't return to Sunday's contest against the Minnesota Vikings after sustaining a concussion in the first half. Gallman had just 14 yards on two rushes before departing and will be replaced by rookie Jon Hilliman and fullback Eli Penny […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 5

Before we get into the waiver wire analysis, I want to state that the Patriots have put together a football dynasty like none we've ever seen. However, I think we should all agree that a 16-game season is a whole lot less taxing when six of them every year are against the Dolphins, Bills, and […]

Jakeem Grant Continues Trending Down

After being removed in the fourth quarter of a Week 4 loss to the Chargers with a strained hamstring, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant was held out of practice on Wednesday. While Grant is not expected to miss significant time with Miami in their bye week, he still only finished with one catch for […]

Drops Continue to Plague Kalen Ballage

The usage of Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage continued to drop in a 31-10 Week 4 loss to the Chargers, with Ballage only rushing the ball twice and finishing with seven yards. Ballage dropped his only target of the game on a likely 12-yard touchdown pass and was seemingly supplanted by Mark Walton as […]

Kenyan Drake Remains Mostly Irrelevant

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake did little in a 31-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, rushing nine times for 44 yards and no scores. He also caught 3-of-5 targets for 29 yards as the Miami offense actually moved the ball well in the first half, with Drake busting a 19-yard screen […]

Josh Rosen Uninspiring in Dolphins Loss

Starting for the second game in a row, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen completed 17 of 24 passes for 180 yards in a 31-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Rosen had a solid first half, including a 34-yard touchdown pass to Devante Parker, but the entire offense collapsed in the second half […]

Preston Williams Continues to Drop Opportunities

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams caught four of seven targets for 46 yards in a 31-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. While he again led the team in targets, Williams also had a key drop that would've given the Dolphins a first down deep in Chargers territory with the score tied […]

Devante Parker Hauls in Long Touchdown

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker scored the lone touchdown for the Fins on Sunday, with Miami moving to an imperfect 0-4 following a 30-10 loss to the visiting Los Angeles Chargers. Parker put Miami on the board on their first drive of the game, giving Miami a 7-3 lead after hauling in a 34-yard […]

Preston Williams Could Quietly Become Relevant

Considering he's seen his targets go up in every game - including a team-high 12 in last week's 31-6 loss to the Cowboys - Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams may soon belong on your fantasy radar. The bad news is that Williams only reeled in four of those 12 targets for 68 yards and […]

Kenyan Drake Still A Poor Option in Miami Muck

With only 147 total yards and no touchdowns on the season, Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake has been a fantasy dud so far in 2019. There are a few things that his owners can take heart in though, such as his snap rate and touches increasing in each game. Unfortunately, those snaps and touches […]

Dolphins Defense a Desperate Play in Week 4

Simply put, there are zero good reasons to consider rostering the Miami Dolphins Defense in a Week 4 matchup against the San Diego Chargers. The obviously tanking Dolphins have allowed 133 points through their first three games and will face a Chargers team that may see the return of running back Melvin Gordon to an […]

Josh Rosen Looks to Improve in Second Start

Making his first start of the year, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen did little to impress in a 31-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. Rosen completed 18-of-39 passes for 200 yards but was also hurt by numerous drops, including what should have been a 15-yard touchdown reception by Preston Williams. While Rosen […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 4

Week 3 was an exciting one, with big injuries, big comebacks, and big debuts. Also, another blowout loss by the Miami Dolphins as they continue the unprecedented Great Tanking of 2019. Luckily, there are still 30 1/2 (sorry, Jets) professional football teams to cover, one of which just lost their bell-cow back with the always […]

Jack Flaherty Loses No-Hitter in Seventh

Absolutely dominant all game, St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty lost his no-hit bid against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday on a hard-luck infield single by Eduardo Escobar to lead off the seventh inning. Flaherty quickly ended the only threat of the game by getting Jake Lamb to line out, followed by consecutive strikeouts to […]

Dylan Bundy Impressive in Win

Baltimore Orioles starter Dylan Bundy was solid again on Tuesday night, picking up the win over the Baltimore Orioles after allowing two runs in seven innings. Bundy scattered three hits and two walks while striking out six and moving his record to 7-14 on the season. The 26-year-old right-hander has been better since the beginning […]

Jake Odorizzi Fantastic in Win, Removed as Precaution

Minnesota Twins starter Jake Odorizzi did his part on Tuesday night, allowing just one run on two hits over six innings as the Twins would beat the Tigers 4-2 and reduce their magic number to two. Odorizzi struck out seven and only walked one, finally getting some run support from a pair of two-run hits […]

Jose Ramirez Returns to Lineup With Career-High Seven RBI

Owners of Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez got an early surprise on Tuesday, with Ramirez returning to the lineup a week ahead of schedule in his recovery from a broken right hamate bone. Ramirez quickly put concerns of rust to bed, hitting a grand slam in the first inning against the White Sox and […]

Trea Turner Slams Nationals to Playoffs

Down 4-2 in the sixth inning of a split doubleheader, Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner hit a grand slam to put the Nationals up for good in a game they would eventually win 6-5. The win clinched the wild card for Washington who will make their first postseason appearance since 2017. Turner now has 18 […]

Giovanny Urshela Leaves After Being Hit on Hand

New York Yankees third baseman Giovanny Urshela left Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay after being hit on the hand by a 95 mph fastball by Rays pitcher Diego Castillo in the sixth inning. After being hit and running the bases, Urshela played another half inning of defense before being substituted out. Urshela has been in […]

Ronald Acuna Leaves Game With Hip Tightness

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna left in the third inning of Tuesday's game with the Royals after experiencing hip tightness in the field during the previous inning. Acuna came up limping in the second inning while running after a fly ball that was ultimately caught by Nick Markakis and was then replaced by Billy Hamilton […]
