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.

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.

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.

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 […]

Mike Gesicki Suffers Shoulder Injury In Fourth Quarter

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) has suffered a shoulder injury midway through the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Gesicki came down hard after a catch and run and was down for several moments while trainers attended to him. He was then taken by trainers into the locker room. […]

DeVante Parker Questionable To Return In Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (leg) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Held without a catch in the first half, Parker's probably needed in the second half if the Dolphins offense wants to find a way to defeat this strong Chiefs team. We'll keep monitoring the situation. If […]
