Week 12 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 12, several high-end quarterbacks had terrible games due to rainy and/or windy conditions. It was both windy and rainy in the Boston area on Sunday which contributed to both Tom Brady and Dak Prescott finishing with less than 12 fantasy points. There were stiff winds in Philadelphia and as a result, Russell Wilson came […]

Mike Gesicki Scores For First Time This Year

At a position where just a heartbeat can sometimes qualify you as viable, Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has occasionally popped up as a streaming candidate in 2019, only to mostly disappoint his owners. In Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns, Gesicki got off the snide, scoring his first touchdown of the year […]

Kalen Ballage Plods Through Another Loss

Looking back, it's hard to believe that Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage was being drafted ahead of former Dolphin starter Kenyan Drake coming into this season. Completely ineffective all year, things haven't improved since getting the backfield all to himself following the trade of Drake and the suspension of Mark Walton, who had supplanted […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Salvages Fantasy Day

Down 28-3 at halftime and with the game virtually out of reach, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick surprisingly ended his day with 21 fantasy points in the eventual 41-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns, making him the sixth-highest scoring quarterback in Week 12. Fitzpatrick was the king of garbage-time on Sunday, throwing for two touchdowns […]

Devante Parker Has Another Solid Performance

Playing on one of the league's worst teams, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker continues to be a steady source of production, scoring nine fantasy points in a 41-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Parker had six catches for 91 yards and was quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's favorite receiver, with his 11 targets once […]

In Week 11, several of the wide receivers recommended in last week's column came through with solid performances. On the high-end, Michael Thomas came through as the No. 5 receiver on the week, while Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both came up rather small against a Saints Defense that was without Marshon Lattimore. John Brown […]

Devante Parker Looks to Stay Steady

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker continued his breakout season in last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills, even while being covered by standout cornerback Tre'Davious White and a fierce Buffalo secondary. Parker finished the day with 15 points in standard leagues, catching seven of his 10 targets for 135 yards, including a 50-yard catch-and-run. […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch - Devin Singletary, Benny Snell, N'Keal Harry

Two more weeks left in the regular season, Rotoballers. Two more weeks to fight for a spot in the playoffs.

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 12

Talk about a shocking move by Myles Garrett. The Cleveland Browns performed well against a beaten up Pittsburgh Steelers team last week, but the win was ultimately overshadowed by a fight between Garrett and Mason Rudolph on a meaningless play. After reviewing the incident, the NFL delivered multiple punishments in the form of suspensions and […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Limited In Practice

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (forearm, shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Fitzpatrick should be fine, but his injury is worth watching as we approach Week 12's games. Fitz has proven to be the better option under center than Josh Rosen for the rebuilding Dolphins, but he continues to have limited upside as a […]
