Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 9

As usual, the wide receiver matchup article from last week had some solid recommendations along with a few letdowns. D.J. Moore (WR-45) could not take advantage of a great matchup as Sam Darnold continued to struggle and while Marvin Jones (WR-57) had a great matchup, he let us down once again with just five catches […]

Week 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Well, Week 8 was a doozy! I got only five of the top-10 defenses correct (based on FantasyPros scoring) with the Rams and Bengals both finishing one point below the cut-off. However, that seems to be par for the course with Week 8 results. The top-three point scorers at quarterback were Jimmy Garoppolo, Justin Fields, […]

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. In fact, Williams has only played in three games this season heading into the Week 9 contest versus the Houston Texans. 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.

Myles Gaskin - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

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. Gaskin should continue getting plenty of carries against the Houston Texans in Week 9 against a defense […]

Dolphins Optimistic Tua Tagovailoa Will Play In Week 9

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (finger) banged the finger on his left throwing hand during last week's game against the Buffalo Bills. Tagovailoa has experienced swelling and soreness in his finger, but Flores is optimistic that he will play in a great Week 9 matchup against the one-win Houston […]

DeVante Parker Suffers Setback, To Be Listed As Doubtful

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (shoulder, hamstring) suffered a setback and is now doubtful for Sunday's game against the Texans.

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 […]
