Jakeem Grant Sr. A Risky Option Versus Bills

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (ankle) was able to return to practice on Thursday. That is a good sign that Grant will be able to suit up for the Week 17 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Grant hauled in five receptions for 43 yards in the victory over the Las Vegas Raiders last […]

DeVante Parker A Possible WR3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the Week 17 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. He has missed two straight games, but has a chance to return for this important regular season finale. The Bills have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Parker won't have great […]

Salvon Ahmed Has Minimal Value Against Bills

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed saw his role in the offense heavily decline with Myles Gaskin returning last week. Ahmed saw six carries for two yards in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Gaskin has proven to be a reliable option as the lead back, so Ahmed won't see much work going forward. […]

Myles Gaskin Lands Into High-End RB2 Territory

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has proven to be a solid option as the lead back for this offense. His fantasy value continues to rise especially with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa under center. Last week, Gaskin had 14 carries for 87 yards and five receptions in the passing game. He should continue to have a […]

Tua Tagovailoa Holds Low-End QB2 Value

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was benched last week in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite that, the rookie quarterback will draw the start for the Week 17 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. A secondary that has held their last two opponents to less than 200 passing yards. Tagovailoa has struggled to find […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 17 (1/3/2021) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

I missed out on getting any Week 16 plays out. No pity parties on my end, just too many other real-life issues getting in the way over the past few weeks that took priority. Things have slowed down on that front, so I figured I might as well try and close off the regular season […]

Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Most fantasy leagues have been decided after 16 grueling weeks of gridiron action but there are always exceptions. Many will berate the idea of playing through Week 17 when many teams rest their starters but I applaud it. A real fantasy championship should be earned even in the toughest situations.

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 17

Well, folks, this is it. It has been a wild ride this season thanks to a litany of injuries and quarantines throughout the NFL season.

Week 16 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Quarterback was a crazy position to navigate in Week 16. Tom Brady saw just 30 minutes of action against the Lions and still managed to finish as QB-2 and Andy Dalton, who is only rostered in 13% of Yahoo leagues shredded the Eagles Defense to finish as QB-3. Mitch Trubisky accounted for three touchdowns, finishing as QB-7, […]

Jakeem Grant Sr. Won't Play In Week 17

Miami Dolphins wide receiver/kick returner Jakeem Grant Sr. (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 16 win over the Raiders on Saturday night, according to a source. Grant will not play in Week 17 against the division-rival Bills, and Injured Reserve is a possibility, meaning that he could miss some playoff games if the […]

Jakeem Grant Sr. Finishes With Five Receptions

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (ankle) was unable to finish out the Week 16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. However, before he exited Grant hauled in five of his six targets for 43 yards. It wasn't a great outing, but PPR managers will take it. This was a rough game for the […]

Mike Gesicki Posts 54 Yards In Win

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki was basically invisible on the field until quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick took over in Week 16. He had two receptions for six yards before Tua Tagovailoa was pulled from the game versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Gesicki finished with four receptions on seven targets for 54 yards in the win. […]

Salvon Ahmed A Dud In Week 16

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed saw 23 carries for 122 yards last week, but failed to do much of anything in Week 16. Myles Gaskin returned for this matchup versus the Las Vegas Raiders and looked like the clear cut lead back. Ahmed finished with two rushing attempts for six yards with one reception […]

Myles Gaskin Has Monster Game Versus Raiders

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin returned with a bang during the Week 16 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. He rushed 14 times for 87 yards and hauled in five receptions for 82 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Gaskin was seemingly the only player on this offense that did anything this game. […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Works His Magic In Week 16

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick took over for rookie Tua Tagovailoa late in the fourth quarter. The rookie quarterback was unable to get this offense anywhere, so the Dolphins felt it was time for a change. As usual, Fitzpatrick came in and look like a Hall of Fame quarterback. He completed nine of 13 passing […]

Tua Tagovailoa Benched In Win

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was benched during the final minutes of the Week 16 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. He completed 17 of 22 passing attempts for 94 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions before getting pulled. Tagovailoa was completing passes, but wasn't able to create any momentum on offense. Veteran quarterback […]

Tua Tagovailoa Named Starter For Week 17

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was named the team's starting quarterback for Week 17 following his benching in the comeback win over the Raiders.
