Kenyan Drake's Injury Not A Factor In Limited Touches

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said running back Kenyan Drake's lack of touches in Week 15 had nothing to do with his shoulder injury. Drake had just one carry in the game despite Frank Gore going down with a foot sprain that is expected to end his season. Rookie Kalen Ballage stepped in after […]

Frank Gore Expected To Miss Rest Of Season

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore (foot) is expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing more tests on his sprained foot, according to a source. The ageless 35-year-old surprisingly saw more touches than Kenyan Drake this year and finishes with 156 carries for 722 yards (4.6 yards per carry), but he found […]

DeVante Parker Doesn't Have A Future With Miami

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker played just 19 of 53 offensive snaps in the Week 15 loss to the Vikings and is likely in his final weeks with the team. The 25-year-old continues to be a disappointment for fantasy owners and the Dolphins, and he's gone over 100 yards just once this year while […]

DeVante Parker Puts Up Zeros In Week 15

Miami Dolphins Devante Parker may as well not have shown up for work on Sunday. He caught zero passes on one target in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. Ryan Tannehill was sacked nine times in this game and only threw for 108 yards, so naturally Miami receivers struggled to produce. Parker hasn't been good […]

Kenny Stills Catches One Pass In Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills was practically invisible in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. He caught one pass on three targets for 17 yards. Ryan Tannehill was under pressure all game and didn't have time to wait for things to develop downfield, which hurts Stills' specifically based on his skill set. Stills is […]

Danny Amendola Hauls In Three Passes Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola led the team in receiving in Week 15 in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. That isn't saying much, however, as Amendola caught just three passes for 30 yards in this one. Ryan Tannehill was under pressure all day and had just 108 yards passing total. Amendola hasn't been […]

Kalen Ballage Explodes In Week 15

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage had the best game of his young career in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. Ballage took on a larger role after Frank Gore left with a foot sprain, and Ballage rushed for 123 yards on 12 carries, including a 75-yard touchdown run. Prior to this game Ballage had […]

Kenyan Drake Has Just Four Touches In Loss

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake took a backseat in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. Drake rushed once for six yards and caught three passes for 28 yards. Frank Gore suffered a foot sprain earlier in this game, but the Dolphins elected to use Kalen Ballage as their primary ball-carrier in Gore's absence. Ballage […]

Ryan Tannehill Has Lackluster Day In Blowout Loss

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill had a poor day in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. Tannehill was 11-for-24 passing for 108 yards and with no touchdowns or interceptions. Tannehill was abused by Minnesota's pass rush; he was sacked nine times. Miami's banged up offensive line was no match for Minnesota's defense. Even at his […]

Frank Gore Suffers Foot Sprain In Week 15

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore (foot) suffered a foot sprain in Week 15 against the Vikings and was ruled out for the rest of the game, according to a source. X-rays on his foot came back negative, but his availability for the final two games of the season will be up in the air. […]

Week 15 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

How did your first week of playoff action go? Did you lose in multiple leagues because Adam Thielen piled up some garbage time yardage? Or was that just me? Let's talk about some guys you should avoid this week. As I did last week, each section will feature two or three players per position and […]

Greetings to those of you still in the playoff hunt and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings up on a projector and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). I’m currently sixth in FantasyPros accuracy competition, fighting with the industry sharks, after finishing ninth (out of 130) in 2017. I hope this […]

Updated Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams. RB is one of the most volatile positions in fantasy football, and one of the highest turnover positions in the NFL. Each year, running backs drop like flies and many NFL teams make in-season changes due to injuries or poor performance. Stay […]

DeVante Parker A Desperation Play Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker is nothing more than a desperation play in a Week 15 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Parker caught just one pass on four targets last week, and has been maddeningly inconsistent all season. The Vikings have a tough secondary, having allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers […]

Danny Amendola Should Be Avoided In Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is in a rough spot in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have allowed the third-fewest points to opposing wide receivers, and Amendola has had exactly one catch on one target in each of his last two games. Amendola had a little PPR appeal earlier in the […]

Kenny Stills Facing Tough Defense In Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is facing tough competition in Miami's Week 15 tilt with the Minnesota Vikings. Led by shutdown corner Xavier Rhodes, the Vikings have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Stills is coming off his best game, an eight-catch, 135-yard performance in Week 14 against New […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex In Week 15

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore must take on a tough defense in Week 15, as the Dolphins face the Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota. The Vikings have allowed the eighth-fewest points per game to opposing running backs along with the seventh-fewest yards per carry. Gore has done well with his carries this year; his 4.7 […]

Kenyan Drake A Boom-Or-Bust Flex Week 15

Miami Dolphins running back will look to build off his heroics from last week in a Week 15 tilt with the Minnesota Vikings. Drake made his day last week on a 55-yard walk-off double-lateral. Obviously, that isn't something that can be relied on from week to week, which makes a Drake a high-risk flex against […]

Ryan Tannehill A Poor Option In Week 15

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is not a great option at quarterback in Week 15 against Minnesota. Tannehill has been dealing with an ankle injury all week, and while he's expected to play, he's facing a Minnesota defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Tannehill is already a low-end QB2 […]

Week 15 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

A weird week this week with two Saturday games. If you are reading this on Saturday then make sure you have those lineups set. Thursday Night Football was incredible but for DFS purposes it has taken away a lot of talent. For season long leagues you may already have a good shot of making your […]

Crucial Pivots for Fantasy Football Week 15

Us fantasy folks have a mantra that gets repeated ad nauseam throughout the season. "Start your studs" is the standard cliché you hear when it comes to making obvious lineup decisions. No one should be starting the likes of Derek Carr over Aaron Rodgers just because Carr has an easy matchup...or should they? That's what […]

Trusting Derrick Henry (or Not) in Fantasy Playoffs

Few things give me true pleasure in watching the game of football like watching a running back rip off a long run. Derrick Henry did just that in Week 14, running for 99 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He didn't stop there, posting a memorable 238 yards and four touchdowns on the day. That's the stuff of […]

Ryan Tannehill Expected To Face Vikings

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is expected to start in Week 15 against the Vikings "unless something crazy happens." He left the game briefly in the miracle Week 14 win over the Patriots and will be limited in practice this week. Head coach Adam Gase said that Tannehill looked "good" in practice and moved […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

If at least one of your fantasy teams is still in contention for a championship, congratulations.

Week 15 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

So, if your fantasy season is […]
