Week 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 8 was the toughest of the year so far with only four correct top-10 predictions after Tampa Bay notched seven points against the Giants on Monday night. That puts me at 40%, which is the worst finish of the season. Weather played a factor, with winds whipping over 20 MPH in a few games […]

We have made it to Week 9 of the NFL season, and for now, all 11 games on the main slate are still on track to play this week. We have many COVID cases to monitor around the league, but for now, it appears all games will be good to go; it just depends on […]

NFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 9 GPP Contests (DFS Tournaments)

We've all been staring at both "red states" and "blue states" all week, so I promise that my Week 9 GPP DFS stacks will not only be politics-free, but I won't even consider any "red" or "blue" teams either! I'm avoiding the chalky "red" of the Cardinals, Chiefs, and Falcons as well as the obvious […]

Mike Gesicki Unlikely To Rebound Versus Arizona

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has one total reception for eight yards over his last two games. In fact, Gesicki has one reception or less in four games this season, which is surprising coming from a starting tight end. The change at quarterback didn't make much of a difference for Gesicki. His fantasy value […]

Preston Williams A Risky Option In Week 9

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams has been disappointing throughout most of the first half of the season. He put together one 106-yard performance, but has been unable to do much damage besides that. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa struggled to move the ball through the air last week during his NFL debut. It's unlikely that things […]

DeVante Parker A WR3 Against Cardinals

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has been unable to do much damage over the last two weeks. The quarterback change did not help Parker last week, as rookie signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa threw for a total of 93 passing yards in Week 8. Parker was targeted just two times, although he did find the end zone. […]

Patrick Laird Should Have A Role Versus Cardinals

Miami Dolphins running back Patrick Laird is expected to have a role against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. This season, Laird has three receptions on three targets and zero attempts on the ground. However, his workload is likely going to increase with Myles Gaskin (knee) and Matt Breida (hamstring) sidelined versus the Cardinals. Jordan […]

Jordan Howard Expected To Take Over Lead-Back Duties

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard has not played a snap since the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. However, Howard is likely going to be the lead back for the team going forward. Both Myles Gaskin (knee) and Matt Breida (hamstring) will be sidelined for the Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. […]

Tua Tagovailoa Unlikely To Improve Versus Cardinals

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be making his second career start versus the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. It was an underwhelming NFL debut for Tagovailoa in the victory over the Los Angeles Rams last week. He completed 12 of 22 passing attempts for 93 yards and one touchdown. It's unlikely that things get […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 9 (11/8/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Well last week couldn't have been much worse. Weather played a major factor in what I thought was the easiest pick of the week (LV/Cle over). The Rams totally dropped the ball against Miami, getting throttled on the road. Even aside from my bets in the article, it was the worst NFL week I have […]

Matt Breida Ruled Out Against Cardinals

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Cardinals. Myles Gaskin (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve earlier this week, which means the Dolphins will have to lean on Jordan Howard to step up after he's been a healthy scratch each of the last three games. Second-year […]

Lynn Bowden Jr. Placed On COVID-19 List

The Miami Dolphins placed rookie wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Selected in the third round by the Raiders, Bowden was dealt to the Dolphins before ever playing a game with Las Vegas. It's unclear if Bowden actually tested positive for coronavirus or if he was just a high-risk close […]

Lies, Damned Lies, and Fantasy Statistics - Red Zone Targets (TE)

When you need a high-upside streamer at tight end, the decision doesn't always come down to target share or projected yardage.

Matt Breida Not A Lock For Week 9

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores isn't ruling out running back Matt Breida (hamstring) for Week 9 against the Cardinals, but he noted that "hamstrings are tough." The Dolphins could be planning to be without Breida after just losing Myles Gaskin (knee) for at least the next three weeks. Those that picked up Breida off […]

Dolphins Not Auditioning Tua Tagovailoa

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said the team isn't giving rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa an audition for the rest of the season in order to figure out whether they want to take another quarterback in next year's draft. Miami owns the Houston Texans' first- and second-round picks in the 2021 draft. Houston's first-round pick […]

Myles Gaskin Going On Injured Reserve

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin (knee) is headed to Injured Reserve on Thursday, which means that he will miss at least the next three games, according to head coach Brian Flores. The good news is that Gaskin's injury is somewhat minor and he will not need surgery. The Dolphins have Matt Breida, Jordan Howard […]
