NFL Betting Picks For Week 8 (11/1/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Week 7 was again off to a 2-0 start thanks to Green Bay winning by two-plus scores. Meanwhile, Kansas City nearly doubled the point total Vegas had them listed at. Then Seattle had to come in and ruin the week during Sunday Night Football in an overtime thriller, losing outright to the Cardinals. This is […]

Adam Shaheen Listed As Questionable Against Rams

Miami Dolphins tight end Adam Shaheen (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Rams. Shaheen was a limited participant in practice all week, so he has a good shot at playing this Sunday. Just signed to a two-year extension worth up to $7.85 million this week, the 26-year-old has scored in each […]

Mike Gesicki Is A Headache To Own Right Now

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has put together two reliable performances through the first six games of the season. Honestly, fantasy owners have absolutely no clue when Gesicki is about to go off. He finished with five receptions for 91 yards in Week 5 matchup versus the San Francisco 49ers. A respectable secondary that […]

Adam Shaheen Might See Higher Usage

Miami Dolphins tight end Adam Shaheen (shoulder) has pretty much gone unnoticed in fantasy leagues until Week 6. He hauled in all three of his targets for 51 yards and one touchdown in the victory over the New York Jets. The team recently signed Shaheen to a new two-year $7.6 million deal. Clearly, the Dolphins […]

Preston Williams A Possible Deep League Option

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams has 12 total receptions through the first six games of the regular season. Luckily, he has held some fantasy value because he has been able to haul in three touchdowns. Although, Williams won't have a favorable matchup ahead of him against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. The […]

DeVante Parker Holds Low-End WR3 Value

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (groin) remained limited during Thursday's practice, which isn't a great sign. However, Parker has already been playing at less than 100 percent, so he'll likely fight through the pain. Sadly, Parker could be in for a rough week in fantasy leagues. He's already banged up and will have to […]

Matt Breida A Shaky Option In Week 8

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida was expected to have a significant role in the backfield this season, but that hasn't been the case. Breida has not seen more than nine carries in a single game this season. That is unlikely going to change with Myles Gaskin playing well for Miami. Maybe the change at […]

Myles Gaskin Remains PPR Flex Option

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has become the clear-cut lead back for this offense. He rushed the ball 18 times for 91 yards in the Week 6 victory over the New York Jets. Gaskin is used both in the passing attack and the running game, which makes him a favorable option in PPR leagues. […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Tough Challenge Ahead

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was surprisingly named the starter for the Week 8 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. This is quite odd timing since the team is 3-3 and was playing well with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. Regardless, Tagovailoa was always the future of the team. It's tough to predict what kind of […]

DeVante Parker Limited Again Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (groin) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Parker should be available this weekend against the Dolphins, but he will likely be facing off against Rams shutdown cornerback Jalen Ramsey on Sunday and will have a rookie quarterback throwing him passes. There's a lot of […]

Week 7 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

As the bye weeks necessitate constant waiver wire action, injuries at the running back position have yet to cease.

Shaheen's deal was set to expire after the 2020 season. The 26-year-old has done very little since the Bears took him in […]

DeVante Parker Faces Rocky Path To Production Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has multiple factors working against his possible success Sunday against the Rams. The first obvious hurdle is that Tua Tagovailoa is making his first NFL start, with the two needing to establish a rapport. Additionally, Los Angeles has allowed just three touchdowns to opposing receivers this season, with All-Pro […]
