We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 7 Outliers

Week 7 seemed extremely fluky for fantasy football purposes. Devonta Freeman was ejected, and players like Will Fuller, Adam Thielen and Kerryon Johnson were both forced from their games very early on which hurt a lot of fantasy owners. The Rams wide receivers were supposed to light the world on fire against a Falcons secondary that […]

We're past the halfway point of the regular fantasy football season, which means you'd better start making some serious moves if you have any weaknesses in your roster. Unfortunately, this is also the time of the year when the waiver wire is at its most desolate. But that's why I'm here. To navigate you through […]

Week 8 Tight End Waiver Wire Picks and Streamers

A two-team bye week is a lot easier for fantasy football players to navigate than a four-team bye week. Fantasy owners are going to have to live without Dallas’ Jason Witten and Baltimore’s Mark Andrews in Week 8. If you have one of the those players as your starting tight end, the problem is that […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round

The better part of seven weeks is in the fantasy football books, making those early trends very real -- for better or worse. One must still consider the matchups played thus far and those to come, but usage and volume are becoming reliable. Week 8 sees the Ravens and Cowboys hit their bye week. To […]

Kalen Ballage Vultures a Touchdown in Loss

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage only had three carries for seven yards in a 31-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but two of them came inside Buffalo's five-yard line, with Ballage cashing in the second of the two for a three-yard touchdown. Ballage was far out-touched by Mark Walton and Kenyan Drake […]

Preston Williams Helps Fumble Away Another Miami Loss

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams had six receptions in a 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Mark Walton Gets His First Start in Loss

Getting the surprise start on Sunday in an eventual 31-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton finished with 66 yards on 14 carries, adding one reception that lost eight yards. Walton’s 14 carries easily topped Drake’s six, as it seems that the latter is on his way to being traded […]

Kenyan Drake Logs Only Six Carries in Loss

Likely in a move to limit his usage in anticipation of a trade, Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was mostly absent in a 31-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. With Mark Walton getting the surprise start, Drake didn’t get his first carry until near the end of the first quarter and ended […]

Devante Parker Scores in Third Straight Game

Rarely consistent in his pro career, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker has now scored in three straight games, catching a 12-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick in the second quarter of a 31-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Parker caught five of his team-high 10 targets and ended with 55 yards and the aforementioned touchdown. […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Doesn't Get Chance to Complete Comeback

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had his best game of the season on Sunday, completing 23-of-35 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Fitzpatrick's second touchdown of the day was an 11-yard run that brought the Dolphins to within a field goal with less than two minutes […]

Miami Dolphins Defense Finds New Way to Lose

It was the special teams of the Miami Dolphins Defense that sealed another defeat for the winless team in Week 7, a week after the Dolphins were just a two-point conversion away from beating the Washington Redskins. After quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick closed Buffalo's lead to 24-21 with an 11-yard touchdown run with less than two […]

Xavien Howard Inactive For Dolphins Defense

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) and safety Reshad Jones (chest) are both inactive for Week 7 against the Bills.

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 7

In Week 6, Julio Jones didn't score, but he came through with a decent fantasy day, going over 100-yards receiving.

Jakeem Grant, Xavien Howard Questionable

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant (hamstring) and cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) were limited in practice this week and are questionable for Week 7 against the Bills.

Josh Rosen's Season Goes From Bad to Worse

Benched to start the fourth quarter after throwing two interceptions and completing 15 of 25 passes for just 85 yards in a 17-16 Week 6 loss to the Washington Redskins, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen will ride the pine again in Week 7. Claiming on Monday that he believed Rosen would still remain the starting […]

Following his first career start in a 17-16 loss to the Washington Redskins in Week 6, Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton (thumb) has been limited in practice this week, but he should be good to go for Week 7.
