Aaron Rodgers @ Chicago, Matt Ryan vs. ARI, Matt […]

Frank Gore (RB, MIA) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The majority of owners have not been enamored with the idea of adding Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore throughout the season, and the importance of this week’s fantasy postseason matchups might increase any apprehension. However, if you can avoid an extreme focus on […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Miami Miracle overshadowed everything else that happened in the stunning victory over the Patriots in Week 14. Before that last-second upset, quarterback Ryan Tannehill had himself a fine day, throwing for 265 yards and three TD. That ranks him better than Aaron Rodgers or Jameis Winston for […]

Ryan Tannehill Sore After Week 14 Ankle Injury

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is "sore" but "he's walking around" after leaving the Week 14 game against the Patriots with an ankle injury. Tannehill may miss some practice time this week, but ultimately we'd expect him to play in Week 15 against the Vikings on the road. […]

Danny Amendola Catches Only Target In Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola made an underwhelming return to the field in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Amendola caught one pass on one target for ten yards. He sat out Week 13 with a knee injury, and perhaps that injury affected his target share. However, the team only threw […]

DeVante Parker Catches One Pass In Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker was scarcely involved in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Parker caught one pass on four targets for 18 yards. His biggest impact came on the final play, where Parker received a lateral from Kenny Stills and then lateraled to Kenyan Drake, who scored the game […]

Brandon Bolden Scores Two Touchdowns In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Brandon Bolden got revenge on his former team in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Bolden rushed for 60 yards and scored two rushing touchdowns on his only two carries. He also caught one pass for zero yards. Bolden ripped off a 54-yarder and then took one in […]

Kenny Stills Has Monster Game In Week 14 Win

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills had his best game since Week 1 in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Stills caught eight passes for 137 yards and a touchdown, setting a season high in catches and yardage. Stills was also Miami's only player with more than one reception in this game. […]

Frank Gore Posts 116 Total Yards In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore had his second-highest yardage total of the season in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Gore rushed 12 times for 92 yards and caught one pass for 24 yards on the day. While he was out-shined by Kenyan Drake's miracle touchdown at the end of the […]

Ryan Tannehill Tosses Three Touchdowns In Week 14

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill had his second straight three-touchdown game in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Tannehill went 14-for-19 passing for 265 yards along with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Tannehill's third touchdown came on a wild 55-yard double-lateral as time expired, which isn't something to be relied on every […]

Kenyan Drake Scores Game-Winning Touchdown On Wild Play

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake played the hero in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. On the final play of the game Drake caught a lateral from Devante Parker and took it 52 yards to the end zone for the game-winning touchdown. Drake is officially credited with one reception for 55 […]

Xavien Howard Has Surgery

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (knee), who is out for Week 14 against the Patriots, recently had arthroscopic surgery to trim his meniscus injury, according to sources. It's a minor procedure, so he hasn't been ruled out yet for Week 15 against the Vikings. His absence against the Patriots is notable, though, and it's good […]

Danny Amendola Active For Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is active for Miami's Week 14 matchup with New England. Amendola missed last week with a knee injury, but during the week all signs pointed to him suiting up for this game. He is nothing more than a WR4/Flex in PPR leagues, however. Amendola has not been consistently productive […]

Week 14 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Kenny Stills A Low-End Option In Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is a low-end WR4 option in Week 14 against the Patriots. Stills had his first meaningful game in a while last week, catching four passes for 37 yards and a touchdown. It was Stills' first time catching more than two passes in a game since Week 4 and his […]

Frank Gore A Low-Ceiling Flex In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is a low-end flex option in Week 14 against New England. Gore is coming off a disappointing game last week against Buffalo, totaling just 31 yards. Gore also has not scored a rushing touchdown all season, which makes him unexciting in a matchup against New England. The Patriots have […]

Kenyan Drake A High-Risk RB3 In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is a high-risk RB3 or flex in Week 14 against New England. Drake has scored in back-to-back games and is getting in the area of 10 touches per game. He can be dangerous in space, which makes every touch Drake gets of high value. The Patriots have performed well […]

Ryan Tannehill A Low-End Option In Week 14

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is a poor option this week against the New England Patriots. Tannehill is coming off a three-touchdown game, however he only threw for 137 yards. He and the Dolphins took advantage of great field position thanks to the anemic Buffalo Bills offense, but Miami won't have that luxury against the […]

Danny Amendola Questionable For Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against his old team, the Patriots. Amendola missed last week but should be able to return this Sunday after practicing on a limited basis all week. Amendola had seven catches for 72 yards on Nov. 11 against the Packers, but he's […]

Xavien Howard Ruled Out Against Patriots

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Patriots. Howard is week-to-week and could also sit out next week. His absence this weekend severely limits Miami's secondary and is good news for the outlook of Patriots receiver Josh Gordon.

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 14 Preview

Last week was all about those running backs who have done the most to boost their average draft position heading into 2019. What about those who have done the most to hurt themselves? Even though these running backs haven’t had a great 2018, we should consider buying low on them prior to next season for […]

Xavien Howard Could Be Out Beyond Week 14

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) is not on crutches but remains week-to-week and is expected to be out in Week 14 against the Patriots and possibly longer. Head coach Adam Gase wouldn't discuss if Howard had surgery but said the cornerback watched practice on Thursday. Howard will almost certainly miss this Sunday against the […]

Danny Amendola Returns To Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Amendola sat out in Week 13 but appears to be on track to face his old team in Week 14 in the Patriots. The 33-year-old caught seven of 10 targets for 72 yards on Nov. 11 but will be hard-pressed […]
