ANALYSIS: Coming into the year, what fantasy owners worried most about Cameron was that he had suffered a couple concussions and might be one more away from missing an entire season or even retiring.  But that hasn’t been his problem at all because he not had many chances to be tackled.

Cameron has been virtually ignored this season as quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been more interested in connecting with slot receiver extraordinaire Jarvis Landry and his 50 other wideouts than getting the ball to Cameron.  Cameron’s 30 receptions for 346 yards and two touchdowns are extremely underwhelming considering just two years ago he had 80 catches for 917 yards and seven touchdowns with the Cleveland Browns.

The reason I'm endorsing Cameron is because he has an advantageous matchup against a hopeless Indianapolis Colts defense that is ranked 30^th in the league against the pass and has given up 112 points over its last three games.  Tannehill should be able to throw for 250-300 against this subpar secondary, and Cameron could be on the receiving end of 40-60 of those yards.

Cameron has frustrated fantasy owners as much as the IRS frustrates taxpayers.  Fantasy owners have waited and waited for Cameron to have that breakout game, and it has not come.  I do not think it will come until 2017, but I do think Cameron could help a TE-challenged fantasy owner in a playoff game and give 40 yards and possibly a TD.
