Xavien Howard Week-To-Week

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said that Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) is week-to-week with a knee injury. Howard is the team's top cornerback and has 35 tackles, seven interceptions and 12 passes defensed on the season. Losing him for Week 14 against the Patriots would be a big loss for Miami's secondary. […]

A.J. Derby Placed On Injured Reserve

The Miami Dolphins placed tight end A.J. Derby (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and claimed cornerback Dee Delaney in a corresponding move. Derby had just three catches on five targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in three games for Miami in 2018 as the backup tight end. Rookie Mike Gesicki will continue to […]

Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

The picture is pretty clear for fantasy owners seeking help on the waiver wire. All the good quarterbacks are gone, the tight end outlook is bleak at best, there are a ton of wide receivers who could pop in a given week, and one RB (in Pittsburgh) stands clearly above the rest in a group […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore had his worst game of the 2018 season, but still has been getting a good amount of work in the Dolphins offense. While Kenyan Drake outsnapped Gore 30-20 on Sunday, Gore's performance on Sunday (where he tallied 31 total […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Still grabbed a touchdown in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Bills on Sunday and has been targeted more in each of the last four weeks. After registering just one target against the Jets on November 4, Stills […]

Brice Butler Hauls In Four Passes In Week 13

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brice Butler had his most involved game as a Dolphin in Miami's 21-17 win over Buffalo in Week 13. Butler caught four passes on four targets for 25 yards. Butler was signed to provide depth for Miami, as the Dolphins have seen their receiving corps get decimated by injury this season. […]

Kenny Stills Catches Touchdown In Week 13

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills had his best game since Week 3 in Miami's 21-17 win over Buffalo in Week 13. Stills caught four passes on six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown. Stills had been floundering in Miami, having gone six straight games catching two or fewer passes before this week. He […]

DeVante Parker Leads Team In Receiving In Week 13

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker led the team in receiving in Miami's 21-17 win over Buffalo in Week 13. Parker caught four passes on seven targets for 43 yards and a touchdown. He was questionable with a shoulder injury coming into this game, but Parker is apparently healthy enough to be Ryan Tannehill's most […]

Kenyan Drake Catches Touchdown In Week 13

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake caught one of Ryan Tannehill's three touchdown passes in Miami's 21-17 win over Buffalo in Week 13. Drake rushed seven times for 31 yards and caught two passes for 13 yards and a touchdown. Drake and Frank Gore each touched the ball nine times and appear to be an […]

Frank Gore Gains Just 31 Total Yards In Week 13

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore took a back seat in Miami's 21-17 win over Buffalo in Week 13. Gore rushed eight times for 21 yards and caught one pass for 10 yards. He and Kenyan Drake both had nine touches, but Drake accumulated 44 total yards and scored a touchdown. Gore is both low-ceiling […]

Ryan Tannehill Tosses Three Touchdowns In Week 13

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill had a big day in Miami's 21-17 win over Buffalo in Week 13. Tannehill went 16-for-124 passing for 137 yards and three touchdowns along with one interception. His yardage total is rather underwhelming, but the three touchdowns certainly help offset the low yardage and pass volume. Tannehill has been inconsistent […]

A.J. Derby Inactive For Week 13

Miami Dolphins tight end A.J. Derby (foot) is inactive for Miami's Week 13 matchup with the Bills. Derby has three catches in four games played all season, so he isn't much of a fantasy option anyway. This could mean more snaps for Mike Gesicki, but Gesicki is a desperation play at tight end at best.

DeVante Parker Will Play In Week 13

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (shoulder) will play in Week 13 against Buffalo. Parker has been dealing with a sprained AC joint since Week 10, but hasn't missed a game yet because of it. He might see an uptick in targets with Danny Amendola (knee) out for this game, but even then Parker isn't […]

Danny Amendola Inactive For Week 13

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (knee) will not play in Week 13 against Buffalo. This news is no surprise, as Amendola missed practice all week and carried a doubtful tag into this game. Kenny Stills, Devante Parker, and Leonte Carroo could all see an uptick in targets, though there isn't much fantasy value in […]

Bye weeks are over. The fantasy playoffs are just around the corner. This crunch time for you, readers, and one goal of crunch time is to avoid making any egregious mistakes.

Week 13 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Week 13 is here with a bang! We are past all the byes and we are back to just having the one game on a Thursday. Unfortunately the Saints high flying offense was somewhat lost to the week against a very good Dallas defense. The good news is that other high flying offenses in the […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 13 Fantasy Football Picks

If you're like me, and I pray for your soul that you are not, then you tend to occasionally stray from the logical way of thinking and revert to subjective decision-making processes. For example, I just picked up Carlos Hyde in the RotoBaller Experts League because I have Melvin Gordon and now need to fill […]

Leonte Carroo Could Have Expanded Role In Week 13

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Leonte Carroo could see an increase in target share in Week 13 against Buffalo. Veterans Danny Amendola (knee) and Devante Parker (shoulder) could both miss this game, with the former all but ruled out already. Carroo only had one catch last week, but it was a 74-yard touchdown grab. Carroo made […]

Kenny Stills A WR5 In Week 13

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is a weak option in Week 13 against Buffalo. Stills hasn't had more than two receptions in a game since Week 4, and hasn't scored double-digit points since Week 3. He caught media attention this week after openly criticizing Miami's quarterback play, which is the only notable catch he's […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex In Week 13

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is a low-end flex option in Week 13 against Buffalo. Gore is normally good for about 15 touches per game, but he isn't involved in the passing game and hasn't scored a rushing touchdown all season. He is a reliable between-the-tackles runner for Miami, but not a high-ceiling option […]
