Week 2 Red Zone Alert - Risers and Fallers

We finally have a week of data.  So was Week 1 a trend or an aberration? We can look at last year's red-zone stats and see if players are continuing on a path or trailblazing a new one, be it good or bad. Let's begin with a look back at the top red-zone passers and […]

Preston Williams Questionable For Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (foot, knee) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for the Week 2 game against the Buffalo Bills. Williams missed the season-opening win over the New England Patriots with his foot injury and was able to practice in full on Thursday, but he's now dealing with a […]

Mike Gesicki A Bounce-Back Candidate For Week 2

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki was held without a catch during the season opener versus the New England Patriots. Gesicki was targeted three times, but failed to haul in a single reception. Now, he'll get a matchup against the Buffalo Bills defense that allowed the most receptions to tight ends last season. The Dolphins […]

Jaylen Waddle A Risky Option In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle made a solid NFL debut against the New England Patriots in Week 1. He hauled in four of his five targets for 61 yards and one touchdown in the win. Fantasy managers who trusted Waddle are feeling good, but it won't get easier for him in Week 2. He'll […]

DeVante Parker Unlikely To Succeed Versus Bills

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker saw an increased usage with Will Fuller (personal) absent in Week 1. It's likely going to be more of the same with Fuller sidelined again versus the Buffalo Bills. Parker saw seven targets and hauled in four of them for 81 yards in the win over the New England […]

Myles Gaskin A Trustworthy Flex Option

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin saw plenty of action during the season opener. He rushed nine times for 49 yards and hauled in five receptions for 27 yards through the air. He'll get a matchup against the Buffalo Bills defense that had trouble keeping running backs out of the end zone last season. It […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Tough Matchup In Week 2

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa gave an underwhelming performance during the season opener. He completed 16-of-27 passing attempts for 202 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the win over the New England Patriots. The tough matchups continue for Tagovailoa as he gets the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. A defense that allowed the […]

Will Fuller Won't Play In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (personal) won't suit up for the Week 2 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. He missed Week 1 while serving the final game of his suspension from last season. It doesn't sound like Fuller is ready to play yet, so he'll miss at least one more week. That means, DeVante […]

Week 2 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint

After Week 1 of the NFL season, fantasy managers might be panicking on some top players like Ezekiel Elliott, but it is important to realize that it is a long season. It would be nice to start the fantasy season on a tear, but it isn't the end of the world if players come out of […]

Preston Williams Is A Full Participant On Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Williams was limited on Wednesday, but appears to be headed in the right direction for his Week 2 matchup versus the Buffalo Bills. Dealing with a foot injury, Williams was inactive in Week 1.

Will Fuller Not Spotted At Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller was not spotted during the media viewing portion of practice on Thursday. Fuller was present at practice on Wednesday, so it's unclear why he wasn't on the field on Thursday after finishing up his six-game suspension in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. DeVante Parker (seven) […]

Will Fuller Practices Wednesday After Suspension Last Week

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller practiced on Wednesday after serving the final game of his six-game suspension in Week 1. Fuller's role for Week 2's matchup against the Buffalo Bills is still up in the air as head coach Brian Flores stated, "We'll practice today and see how it goes and make a determination […]

Preston Williams Limited Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (foot) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Williams was limited in practice last week as well, but he was inactive in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. The 24-year-old really shouldn't be rostered in standard-sized fantasy leagues. Whenever he returns to the fold […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It felt good to enjoy a full Sunday of NFL action and follow every player on multiple fantasy teams. But now the work begins.

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that tight end Adam Shaheen will be back at practice on Wednesday after coming off the COVID-19 list.

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It wasn’t the best performance from Tua Tagovailoa in his first game of 2021, but he moved the ball effectively and was able to get a win in New England. The second-year quarterback completed 16 of 27 passes for 202 yards and a […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: To find DeVante Parker available in more than 60% of Yahoo leagues makes no sense to me. I could expect some sort of low rostership because Miami isn't an otherworldly team, and the offense of the Dolphins is quite crowded after this […]

Raekwon Davis Placed On Injured Reserve

Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Raekwon Davis (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, putting him out at least three weeks. Davis was only able to play five defensive snaps in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots before getting injured. The 24-year-old is one of the team's best run-stoppers, so he will […]

The Cut List - Time To Let Go? Week 2

Week 1 just wrapped up and it's always hard not to overreact to what we saw opening weekend, but nonetheless, decisions must be made.

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

It only took one week of NFL action to have fantasy football managers antsy about their tight ends. Not every tight end caught two touchdown tosses like Rob Gronkowski. While many superstars at the position started the season well --- T.J. Hockenson and Travis Kelce to name two --- some others remained injured (Evan Engram, […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

Football is back and all is right in the world.
