Running Back Committees Worth Investing In

Running back committees are the worst. We can all agree on that, right? You go into the season drafting a guy that you’re expecting to get 300+ touches in a year, and it becomes evident early on that he will in fact be splitting touches with that fourth-round rookie. Rather than getting 25 touches in […]

Waiver Wire Prognostication - Who'll Be Hot Adds After Week 1?

Fantasy football has always been a game about predictions and reactions. We need to be able to predict what might happen and react when it happens (or doesn't).

Mike Gesicki Has Intriguing Matchup

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki (glute) could have intriguing value for Week 1 against the New England Patriots. He was limited during Wednesday's practice, but is expected to be out there on Sunday. Gesicki is expected to see a heavy workload in the slot this season. He's a prime breakout candidate, but has a […]

Preston Williams Likely To Struggle Versus Patriots

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (knee) was limited during Wednesday's practice. Williams, DeVante Parker (hamstring), and Mike Gesicki (glute) are all banged up, but expected to play on Sunday. However, the New England Patriots allowed the second fewest amount of fantasy points to receivers last season. Williams admitted earlier this week that he still […]

DeVante Parker Has Tough Matchup

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) was limited during Wednesday's practice. Head coach Brian Flores suggested that players dealing with injuries could have their playing time reduced. Preston Williams (knee) was limited as well, but both players are expected to play on Sunday versus the New England Patriots. Sadly for Parker, he'll be matched […]

Matt Breida A Low-End RB2 For Week 1

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida has a new organization, but didn't gain much fantasy value. He's listed as the backup to Jordan Howard, but Breida figures to split the carries with him. Sadly, he'll get an unfavorable matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 1. The Pats allowed the least amount of fantasy […]

Jordan Howard Makes For Interesting Option

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard could be an interesting fantasy option with his new organization. He'll likely split up the carries with Matt Breida, but that shouldn't kill his value. Howard had success during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles last season. The Dolphins have Howard listed as their starter, but the New England […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Has Unfavorable Week 1 Matchup

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was named the starter, but his fantasy value will be dependent on their opponent. Sadly, Miami kicks off Week 1 versus the New England Patriots. A team that allowed the fewest amount of fantasy points to quarterbacks last season. The good news is, Fitzpatrick will likely be forced into plenty […]

Devante Parker Returns To Practice Tuesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (undisclosed) returned to practice on Tuesday, which bodes well for his chances of playing against the New England Patriots on Sunday.
