5 Running Back Sleepers - ADP Values for Fantasy Football Drafts

In order to dominate your fantasy football leagues, you must capitalize on major ADP Values and sleepers being taken too late in drafts. In this article, I’ll walk through five of my favorite ADP Values at the running back position (looking at NFFC ADP over the last two weeks). Since I’ve already covered each of […]

Jason Sanders Makes Eight Kicks Saturday

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders was busy during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles, going 2-for-2 on field goals and a whopping 6-for-6 on extra points. His three-point tries came from 55 and 27 yards out. Sanders faces no competition in training camp and will be the Dolphins' kicker this season, barring an injury […]

Elijah Campbell Notches Pick-Six In Preseason Finale

Miami Dolphins cornerback Elijah Campbell intercepted Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Reid Sinnett on Saturday, then returned the football for a 28-yard touchdown. He also logged a tackle during the game. The 27-year-old's pick-six represented his second interception of the preseason. Undrafted out of Northern Iowa in 2018, Campbell bounced around between the NFL, AAF, and XFL […]

Cethan Carter Catches Touchdown Saturday

Miami Dolphins tight end Cethan Carter hauled in his lone target for a four-yard touchdown during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 26-year-old has been quiet this offseason and faces an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster. A solid blocker, Carter played in 16 games last season, catching just two passes for […]

Mike Gesicki Hauls In Lone Target Saturday

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki turned his lone target into an 18-yard reception during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. Although his name has come up in trade rumors lately, Gesicki remains a Dolphin for the time being and projects as a low-end TE1 in fantasy football. If you're willing to wait on […]

Hunter Long Finds End Zone In Preseason Finale

Miami Dolphins tight end Hunter Long hauled in two of three targets for 24 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. Long caught just one pass as a rookie last season and should open 2022 as the Dolphins' No. 3 tight end behind Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe. For the […]

Erik Ezukanma Logs Two More Receptions

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Erik Ezukanma hauled in two of four targets for 24 yards during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. Just one week removed from a 114-yard performance, Ezukanma came back down to earth on Saturday but still made an impact offensively. He has made his case to earn a roster spot […]

Lynn Bowden Jr. Catches 39-Yard Touchdown Pass

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. turned his lone target into a 39-yard touchdown reception during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. Presumably on the roster bubble, Bowden's performance could be the difference between a cut or trade. Regardless of what happens over the next few days, the young receiver doesn't have a […]

River Cracraft Catches Touchdown Pass

Miami Dolphins wide receiver River Cracraft hauled in four of seven targets for 54 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. Cracraft has a connection to head coach Mike McDaniel from their time together in San Francisco, and he has looked impressive this preseason. With those two factors in mind […]

Tyreek Hill Totals 64 Yards Saturday

Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill hauled in both of his targets for 64 yards during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. His best catch was a 51-yarder on the first play of the game, though he added a solid 13-yard reception just seconds later. Hill and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) will form a […]

Teddy Bridgewater Completes Just Four Passes

Miami Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater went 4-for-10 with 74 passing yards during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. Although Miami brought Bridgewater in to be a strong veteran option behind Tua Tagovailoa, he has been simply outperformed by preseason star Skylar Thompson. With Thompson a near lock to make the roster, Bridgewater's job could […]

Tua Tagovailoa Leads Three Scoring Drives

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed six of seven passes for 121 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. He led three scoring drives, two of which ended in a touchdown and one that concluded with a field goal. Tagovailoa enters a pivotal third season in Miami with […]

Skylar Thompson Remains Brilliant In Preseason Finale

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson completed seven of 10 passes for 103 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. Of his five drives in the second half, three ended in a score, one ended in a punt, and the last series concluded with the game's final whistle. Thompson's […]

Sony Michel Closes Out Disappointing Preseason With Touchdown

Miami Dolphins running back Sony Michel rushed five times for 15 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. He went untargeted in the passing game. His three yards per carry was the lowest mark among Miami's six running backs. Michel finishes the preseason with nine carries, one reception, and 17 […]

Raheem Mostert Rushes For 29 Yards Saturday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) logged two carries for 29 yards during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. The game was Mostert's first of the preseason, as well as his first since joining the Dolphins. Both of his touches came in the first quarter. He picked up three yards on a rush […]

Salvon Ahmed Breaks Off 28-Yard Reception Saturday

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed rushed four times for 30 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles during Saturday's preseason finale. He also hauled in one of two targets for an additional 28 through the air. When all was said and done, he had totaled five touches and 58 scrimmage yards, capping off a solid performance […]

Myles Gaskin Rushes Six Times Saturday

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin rushed six times for 39 yards during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. Gaskin saw the field in the first and second quarters, taking reps with both Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater. Although he started 10 games just last season, Gaskin finds himself on the roster bubble due […]

Gerrid Doaks Rushes For 67 Yards Saturday

Miami Dolphins running back Gerrid Doaks rushed 11 times for 67 yards during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles. He saw his first touch midway through the third quarter and ultimately played Miami's final four offensive drives. Although he showed promise in camp last year and earned another opportunity this year, he likely won't […]

All-Sleeper Team for Fantasy Football - Rachaad White, Nico Collins, Kyle Philips, and more

This isn't the All-Madden team. A sleeper isn't always going to hit but when they do, it can give you a huge advantage. What I have done for the third straight season is compile a team of sleepers consisting of players being drafted in the mid-to-late rounds, or not at all. All preseason long, the […]

Fantasy Football Breakouts, Busts, and Locks - Chicago Bears 2022 Outlook

“The Monsters of the Midway” moniker has not fit the Chicago Bears in recent years, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
