Week 2 Deeper League Waiver Pickups

The aftermath of Week 1 is generally one of the most important weeks to utilize the waiver wire. Even in deeper leagues, where there aren't as many obvious players to scoop up. Each week, we will advise you which players to snatch up from waivers in your deeper leagues. These players are owned in approximately […]

Mike Gesicki Has Expanded Role in Blowout Loss

While Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki's final line wasn't impressive, his usage in a 59-10 blowout against the Ravens on Sunday was. Gesicki caught two of his six targets for 35 yards, including a 26-yard reception in the first quarter. More notably, though, Gesicki was also the only tight end targeted in the game […]

Devante Parker (WR, MIA) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker has been the definition of inconsistency throughout the first four years of his NFL career. There've been flashes of brilliance followed by weeks of complete irrelevance. But is there reason to believe this year could be different? […]

Devante Parker Provides Much of Dolphins Offense

There was optimism that Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker would become more of a focal point in the offense with the trade of Kenny Stills but that wasn't the case at the beginning of a 59-10 blowout loss to the Ravens in Week 1. Parker wasn't targeted for the first time until the beginning […]

Kalen Ballage Gets Surprise Start Over Kenyan Drake

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage was thought to be the backup to Kenyan Drake but got the starting nod in Week 1, carrying the ball five times for negative-one yard in a 52-10 blowout loss to the Ravens. Ballage also caught his lone target for a 13-yard reception, while Drake had four carries and […]

Kenyan Drake A Non-Factor in Loss

Much like the rest of the offense, Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake didn't do much to help his fantasy owners in a Week 1 loss to the Ravens 59-10. Thought to be the starter in Miami, Drake came off the bench instead and only carried the ball four times compared to the five carries […]

Brian Flores Says Ryan Fitzpatrick Will Remain Starter

Even after getting pulled in the second half of a 59-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will keep his job for at least one more week, according to Miami head coach Brian Flores. Fitzpatrick was uninspiring in his debut for Miami, going 14-for-29 for 185 yards, a touchdown and an […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Benched Against Ravens

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was pulled in the second half of the Week 1 game against the Ravens after going 14-for-29 for 185 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Josh Rosen will take over the rest of the way in the blowout, with the Ravens up 52-10 in the fourth quarter. Fitz entered the […]

Albert Wilson Injured In Week 1

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf) injured his calf in Week 1 against the Ravens and was forced to leave the game. Miami's offense has been non-existent in the first half against Baltimore, and Wilson had two catches on four targets for only 13 yards before his injury. With quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick under center […]

Albert Wilson Active Against Ravens

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) is active for Week 1 against the Ravens. Wilson was always expected to suit up, so this isn't much of a surprise. He should be more of a focal point in the offense out of the slot now that Kenny Stills isn't around, and he could be […]

Quarterbacks typically struggle against pressure. You're going to have some that find ways to excel, but the majority prefer a clean pocket to throw from.

Reality Check: Why Your RB Sleepers Won't Wake Up

"Embrace reality, even if it burns you." - Pierre Berge This quote is ironic for a couple of reasons. First of all, this is a column about fantasy sports. Fantasy - the very definition reads, "the power or process of creating especially unrealistic or improbable mental images in response to psychological need." An escape from […]

Albert Wilson Questionable Against Ravens

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday against the Ravens. Wilson was limited in practice all week, so we'd think he's on the right track to suit up in the regular season opener. The good news is that Wilson's fantasy owners will know early Sunday morning if he's […]
