Salvon Ahmed - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed has been barely involved in the rushing game lately. However, he has seen an uptick in the receiving game, which gives him a little fantasy value. The Dolphins are banged up with Will Fuller (hand) out and DeVante Parker (hamstring) uncertain to play. That means, Ahmed could see a […]

Preston Williams - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams had one reception on the season heading into the Week 5 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, the injuries to Will Fuller (hand) and DeVante Parker (hamstring) opened a door for Williams to make an impact. He hauled in three of his five targets for 60 yards and […]

Jaylen Waddle - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has posted two straight duds, but has a chance to rebound in Week 6. He'll get a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that ranks last in pass DVOA this season. The targets have decreased lately for Waddle, but he should see an uptick with Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) likely back under center. […]

Malcolm Brown - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown saw five carries or more through the first four games of the season. However, he didn't touch the ball during the Week 5 matchup with Tampa Bay. It was all Myles Gaskin, who shined in the receiving game with 10 catches for over 100 yards. Brown was hardly a […]

Myles Gaskin - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin put together his best performance of the season in Week 5. He rushed five times for 25 yards, but a majority of his damage came through the air. Gaskin hauled in 10 receptions for 74 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He remains […]

Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Start Sunday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs), recently designated to return from injured reserve, is expected to start Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

He'll need to at least practice on a limited […]

Coaches on the Hot Seat - Fantasy Implications

The first NFL head coach who didn't make it through the 2021 season was Jon Gruden, although not at all for reasons anyone would have anticipated (except Keyshawn Johnson). The Gruden story alludes to a larger problem within the league and society as a whole but this piece isn't meant to serve as a platform […]

Jacoby Brissett Limited Ahead Of Week 6

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday after getting injured in the Week 5 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brissett could be fine for this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, but the Dolphins are hoping that Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) will be able to return from […]

Devante Parker Misses Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker missed practice on Wednesday with both shoulder and hamstring injuries. The veteran also missed last Sunday's game, so he's not trending in the right direction for Sunday's contest with the Jaguars. With Will Fuller also out with a broken finger, Parker's absence could open up more targets for Jaylen […]

DeVante Parker To Miss Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (shoulder) will not practice on Wednesday after he missed the Week 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Parker is not off to a great start this week if he wants to return this Sunday to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. We should have a better idea about […]
