Thursday Night Football Starts & Sits: Chargers vs Raiders
Week 15 starts with an absolute fantasy barn burner. It’s hard to imagine a better matchup to start (or continue) the fantasy playoffs. I hope you all had successful weeks last week and hopefully avoided facing off against the monster games of Derrick Henry and Miles Sanders. Last week I was able to go two-for-two […]

Mike Gesicki Back At Practice Thursday
Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Gesicki now has at least a chance to suit up in Week 15 against the Patriots. New England isn't the best matchup for tight ends -- they've allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the […]
Lynn Bowden Has Arrived
Lynn Bowden Jr. is quite possibly the most exciting NFL player to come out of the University of Kentucky, with apologies to Benny Snell Jr. This is not just due to his speed, but his ability to play multiple positions. Despite his electric NCAA highlights and desirable scouting profile, Bowden's 2020 has been a year […]
Redrafting the 2020 Fantasy Football Season
2020. Man, what a year. We had protests, fires, a global pandemic that shut down everything, and freaking murder hornets. By the way, what happened to them? We do still have a few weeks left in the year, so are they to be the grand finale? Not all was doom and gloom, though, and there […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 14
This series continues into its fourteenth week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 14, we saw performances such as the Los Angeles Rams wide receivers combining for 71 receiving yards, Patrick Mahomes throwing for 393 passing yards, or the […]
DeVante Parker, Jakeem Grant Sr. Limited In Practice
Miami Dolphins wide receivers DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Jakeem Grant Sr. (hamstring), linebacker Kyle Van Noy (hip) and guard Ereck Flowers (ankle) were limited in practice Wednesday. Parker and Grant were at least able to practice some, but their statuses for Week 15 against the Patriots are very much up in the air. In a […]
Mike Gesicki Doesn't Practice Wednesday
Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and safety Bobby McCain (ankle) didn't practice on Wednesday. Gesicki has scored four touchdowns in his last three games and has 14 catches on 17 targets for 153 yards and three touchdowns in the last two contests. He'll be a high-end TE2 if he can somehow get in […]
Matt Breida Activated From COVID-19 List
The Miami Dolphins activated running back Matt Breida from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Breida hasn't played since Week 12 and has just 47 carries for 168 yards (career-low 3.6 yards per carry) and no touchdowns in his nine games played in his first year in Miami. Even if Myles Gaskin and rookie Salvon Ahmed […]
DeVante Parker Has Slight Hamstring Strain
Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) suffered a slight hamstring strain in the Week 14 loss to the Chiefs, and his status for Week 15 against the division-rival Patriots is to be determined. It'll all depend on whether Parker can practice and to what extent before this weekend's clash with New England. Even if […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 15
The fantasy playoffs are in full swing, so you know what that means: there's no need at this point to pick anyone up off waivers who can't tangibly help you in the short term. We're past the speculative additions part of the season. This means that this week's waiver column would be a little shorter […]
Week 14 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!
Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield finished as the top two quarterbacks in fantasy football this week after getting into a 89-point shootout. Aaron Rodgers had another big week, tossing three touchdown passes and running for another. Tua Tagovailoa and Derek Carr landed inside the top-five as the Raiders and Dolphins both needed to play catch […]
Jakeem Grant Sr. Considered Week-To-Week
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (hamstring), who left the Week 14 loss to the Chiefs early, is considered week-to-week, according to a source. Grant's status for Week 15 against the Patriots is very questionable, at best. It sounds like he's more doubtful than anything for this weekend's game, so fantasy managers should be […]

Adam Shaheen Hauls In Two Receptions
Miami Dolphins tight end Adam Shaheen was sadly not heavily involved in the gameplan during the Week 14 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. He hauled in two of his three targets for 26 yards in the loss. Normally, his outings aren't noteworthy, but Mike Gesicki (arm) went down in this game. Shaheen might be […]
Jakeem Grant Sr. Quiet Versus Chiefs
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (leg) was banged up during the Week 14 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was on his way to having a productive game before suffering an injury. He hauled in three of his five targets for 32 yards in the loss. Grant has struggled to have value […]
Mike Gesicki Snags Two Touchdowns In Loss
Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki put together a solid outing versus the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14. He hauled in five of his six targets for 65 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Gesicki has become a big red zone target with three touchdowns over his last two games. The Dolphins had […]
Mack Hollins Finally Makes An Impact
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mack Hollins had his best game of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14. He hauled in five of his nine targets for 66 yards in the loss. The Dolphins were limited in terms of weapons for this game. Hollins and Lynn Bowden Jr. finished with the most […]
Lynn Bowden Jr. Goes Off In Week 14
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. pleasantly surprised this offense with his performance in Week 14. He hauled in seven receptions for 82 yards through the air in the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Those 82 yards were a team-high in a game where the Dolphins had limited weapons on offense. This was […]
DeAndre Washington Held In Check By Chiefs
Miami Dolphins running back DeAndre Washington was the last man standing in the backfield for this team. Myles Gaskin was placed on the COVID-19 list prior to game time, which meant Washington was forced into a starting role. The rest of the Dolphins backfield is injured, so Washington saw significant touches in Week 14. He […]
Tua Tagovailoa Throws Over 300 Yards
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was firing the ball through the air all game long against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14. He completed 28 of 48 passing attempts for 316 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the loss. He also added six rushing attempts for 24 yards and one touchdown on […]
