Biggest Tight End Surprises of 2021 - Fantasy Football Year In Review
The tight end position is only enjoyed by true degenerates of fantasy football. It’s a wasteland of epic portions. A position filled with landmines where the biggest winner is just the player who managed to lose the least. Outside of our big five, which unfortunately seems to be dwindling, you could make a solid case […]

Stephen Ross Could Lose Dolphins
Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is being investigated by the NFL after former head coach Brian Flores alleged in a lawsuit that Ross offered him money to lose games.

Biggest Wide Receiver Breakouts of 2021 - Fantasy Football Year In Review
What is a breakout? In fantasy football, we tend to use so many different adjectives to define players and it's hard to keep track of what they all mean.

All signs are pointing towards quarterback Tua Tagovailoa being under center for the Miami Dolphins yet again in 2022. In a recent, semi-cringey video shared on the Dolphins Twitter account, new Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel speaks to his new quarterback through a video on his phone.

San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel has agreed to be the new head coach of the Dolphins.

Dolphins Shopping DeVante Parker?
Charlie Campbell of Walter Camp Football reported this week that the Miami Dolphins "have shopped" wide receiver DeVante Parker, but it's news to Parker. Parker was limited to just 11 games in 2021 due to hamstring injuries, but general manager Chris Grier has been a big supporter of Parker after he caught 40 passes for […]
Dolphins Unlikely To Tender Preston Williams
The Miami Dolphins are unlikely to tender impending restricted free-agent wide receiver Preston Williams, which would make him an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Wild Card Round - Amari Cooper, Tee Higgins, Christian Kirk, Deebo Samuel
The wide receiver matchup article from Week 18 did pretty well, but to be fair, I didn't really recommend taking many risks. Rather, I recommend that you stick to higher-end receivers because Week 18 was very difficult to navigate due to the number of unclear situations heading into the weekend. Deebo Samuel (WR2) ran for […]
