DeVante Parker Trending In The Wrong Direction

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Parker was unable to play in the Week 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and looks headed for another absence this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. 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 […]

Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) is expected to practice on Wednesday after being designated to return from Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Tagovailoa looked good throwing the football on Monday, and the Dolphins are hopeful that he can start in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Unfortunately, the injury bug has come back to bite some big-name running backs.

IDP Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

Like clockwork, every NFL season brings a new set of players who disappoint for weeks on end, only to explode on your bench.

Dolphins Sign Travis Fulgham Tuesday

The Miami Dolphins signed former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Travis Fulgham to their practice squad on Tuesday.

Tua Tagovailoa Designated To Return From IR

The Miami Dolphins have designated quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) to return from Injured Reserve. Tagovailoa is eligible to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6 this Sunday. The first-round signal-caller resumed throwing last week and did so again on Monday, so he's trending towards a return this weekend. The 23-year-old went 16-for-27 for 202 […]

Tua Tagovailoa Could Practice This Week

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) hopes to return to practice this week in preparation for a Week 6 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to head coach Brian Flores. His eventual return to the lineup would help a struggling Miami offensive unit, who have not been able to get anything going with Jacoby Brissett […]

Jaylen Waddle Posts Second Straight Dud

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has been quite inconsistent during his rookie season. He had a 12-reception game a few weeks ago, but hasn't done much on the field since then. In Week 5, Waddle hauled in two of his six targets for 31 yards in the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The […]

Mike Gesicki Targeted Seven Targets In Week 5

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has been a strong fantasy option since backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett took over under center. He continued his success against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. Gesicki hauled in four of his seven targets for 43 yards in the blowout loss. Those seven targets were the second-most on […]

Preston Williams Makes Some Noise In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams made the most of his chances during the Week 5 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was asked to step up with Will Fuller (hand) and DeVante Parker (hamstring) inactive for this game. Williams started alongside Jaylen Waddle in this one. He hauled in three of his five […]

Myles Gaskin Posts 10 Receptions In Loss

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin saw only two carries in Week 4, but was the focal point of the offense a week later. In Week 5, Gaskin carried the ball five times for 25 yards on the ground in the loss. However, he also hauled in all 10 of his targets against a shaky […]

Jacoby Brissett Throws For Nearly 300 Yards

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett continues to be under center with Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) sidelined. He put together a fairly strong performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. Brissett completed 27-of-39 passing attempts for 275 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the loss. Those 275 passing yards were the most for […]

Jacoby Brissett Returns To Game

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) has returned to Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Brissett winds up not missing any series after initially being announced as questionable to return. Backup quarterback Reid Sennett was set to make his NFL debut and could still see some snaps if Brissett's hamstring issue flares up later in the […]

Jacoby Brissett Questionable To Return

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Brissett started 8-for-10 for 119 yards and a touchdown and had the Dolphins leading when he exited, so if he's unable to return, it would be a big loss for this Miami team. With Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) not active, […]
