Preston Williams - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams was a healthy scratch from the Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Although, he could be back on the field for this game with DeVante Parker (hamstring, […]

Mike Gesicki - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki is coming off a fairly disappointing performance in Week 8. However, he should rebound nicely against the Houston Texans this week. A defense that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. The absence of DeVante Parker (shoulder, hamstring) has opened up more targets for Gesicki […]

Jaylen Waddle - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has been a frustrating player to roster this season. His target share has been inconsistent, but has picked up over the last few games. The absence of DaVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder) has increased Waddle's volume lately. It sounds like Parker is in danger of sitting out the Week 9 […]

Salvon Ahmed - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed has seen an increased workload on the ground over the last few games. In fact, Ahmed has seven carries on the ground in each of the last three contests.

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has seen double-digit carries in each of the last two weeks. The Dolphins young back has seen an increased workload on the ground due to Malcolm Brown (quadriceps) being on Injured Reserve.

Finding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 9) - Targets and Avoids

Football. The game doesn't add up. Sometimes all stats point to one team dominating but just the opposite happens. That transpired with  the Bengals Sunday, but the game that really made no sense was the Titans-Colts. Indy jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead before the Titans crawled back and then it was back-and-forth. Now […]
