Danny Amendola Could Have Expanded Role In Week 8

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola could get more looks than normal in Week 8 against Houston. Miami will be without receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson for this week and possibly longer, meaning Amendola is the number one receiver by default. Amendola is dealing with a minor shoulder ailment but is expected to play. […]

Brock Osweiler A Low-End QB2 Against Texans

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler will draw his third straight start in Week 8 against the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football. Osweiler has performed surprisingly well in his first two outings, averaging 21.88 fantasy points in his first two starts. Based on past experience we know this performance isn't going to last, and Osweiler […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 8

The Arizona Cardinals continue to be the laughing stock of the National Football League. The Red Sea had been outscored 101-82 heading into last Thursday night and the gap continued to grow. The Denver Broncos managed to find the end zone six times in the contest, including scores from Phillip Lindsay, Royce Freeman, and Emmanuel […]

Danny Amendola (WR, MIA) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Dolphins are coming off a loss against the Lions, missing their starting quarterback and have injuries to Albert Wilson and Devante Parker at wide receiver. The one constant on that team could end up being Danny Amendola. He doesn’t have a 100-yard receiving game and […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round

Week 7 was a particularly chaotic one, with several big names going down with injuries and smaller names stepping up before most of us woke up (thanks, London) all the way through the night. We here at RotoBaller are always looking to get you actionable intel as fast (and as accurately) as possible, so consider […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 8)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Albert Wilson Likely To Land On Injured Reserve

While Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (hip) won't need surgery, he's still likely to be placed on Injured Reserve to give him time to recover, according to a source. He won't be eligible to return for eight weeks, so fantasy owners that added him last week off waivers will need to dump him already. […]

Frank Gore A Flex Option In Week 8

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore continues to out-touch running back Kenyan Drake but also continues to see limited touches. He has averaged about 12 touches over the past three weeks, which doesn't allow for much upside. The Houston Texans defense has allowed nearly 100 rushing yards per game this season but with Gore splitting […]

Brock Osweiler To Start Again In Week 8

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler has already been confirmed as the starter for the Dolphins Week 8 matchup against the Houston Texans. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) has been ruled out for the third-consecutive game. Osweiler has played well as a starter having thrown for over 600 yards and five touchdowns in the past two weeks. […]

Danny Amendola, Mike Gesicki Limited Monday

In an estimation of the injury report, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (shoulder) and rookie tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) would've both been limited in practice on Monday. Both should be fine to play this Thursday against the Texans. With Albert Wilson (hip) and Kenny Stills (groin) both out, Amendola and Gesicki could see […]

Kenny Stills Ruled Out For Week 8

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills (groin) has been ruled out for Week 8 on Thursday against the Texans and could possibly be out longer. It's been downhill ever since Stills caught four passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the season opener. He hasn't had more than three catches or 61 yards in […]

Ryan Tannehill Will Be Inactive For Week 8

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) will miss his third consecutive game in Week 8. Considering Tannehill wasn't able to play last week and Miami had a short turnaround into Thursday Night Football this news is hardly surprising. Brock Osweiler will continue to fill-in for Tannehill against Houston. Given the somewhat mysterious nature of Tannehill's […]

Albert Wilson To Visit With Specialist

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (hip) will visit with a hip specialist to get a timeline on his injured labrum that was deemed significant, according to a source. Wilson will miss the Week 8 game on Thursday against the Texans and is out indefinitely. He could wind up missing the rest of the season, […]

Kenny Stills Suffers Groin Strain

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills (groin) suffered a groin strain in the fourth quarter of the Week 7 loss to the Lions and will undergo an MRI exam on Monday. There's no word on his availability for Thursday against the Texans, but it seems unlikely that he'd be able to play with such a […]

Albert Wilson Could Be Done For Season

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (hip) suffered a hip injury in Week 7 that could keep him out for the rest of the season, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. “The best case scenario is that he would miss a few weeks," Rosenhaus said. Wilson will undergo more tests on Monday. It's a blow […]

Mike Gesicki Catches Three Passes In Loss

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki set a career high in yardage in Miami's 32-21 loss to Detroit in Week 7. Gesicki caught three passes on three targets for 44 yards. New Miami quarterback Brock Osweiler seems to favor the tight end a little more than Ryan Tannehill, so perhaps Gesicki will see an uptick […]

Danny Amendola Catches First Touchdown In Loss

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola turned in his best performance of the year in Miami's Week 7 loss to Detroit. Amendola caught six passes for 84 yards and a touchdown. Amendola saw his workload increase after Albert Wilson left the game with an injury. This was Amendola's first touchdown of 2018 as well as […]

Kenny Stills Catches One Pass For Touchdown In Week 7

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills was mostly a non-factor in Miami's 32-21 loss to Detroit in Week 7. He caught one pass for five yards and a touchdown. Stills briefly left this game after colliding with a security guard, but returned after a check in the medical tent. He was targeted just three times […]

Albert Wilson Suffers Hip Injury In Loss

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson suffered a hip injury in Miami's 32-21 loss to Detroit in Week 7. Wilson left during the second quarter and never returned. The extent of the injury hasn't been revealed at this time, but considering Miami plays on Thursday Night Football in Week 8 Wilson's status should be in […]

Frank Gore Disappoints In Week 7 Loss

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was disappointing and unproductive in Miami's 32-21 loss to Detroit in Week 7. He rushed 10 times for 29 yards and caught one pass for four yards. Gore looked poised to take the lead in a committee with Kenyan Drake after Gore's Week 6 101-yard performance, but he was […]

Kenyan Drake Busts Off Huge Run In Week 7

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake had a productive game in Miami's 32-21 loss to Detroit in Week 7. He rushed six times for 72 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 15 yards. Drake made his day on an impressive 54-yard touchdown run, a run that showcased Drake's dynamic speed and playmaking […]

Brock Osweiler Tosses Pair of Touchdowns in Week 7

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler played well again in the Dolphins 32-21 loss in Week 7 to Detroit. He was 22-for-31 passing for 239 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Osweiler's 114.9 passer rating was the second highest of his career in games which he started. With Ryan Tannehill's status unclear and Osweiler's good […]

Albert Wilson Questionable To Return With Leg Injury

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (leg) is questionable to return after exiting Miami's Week 7 game against the Lions. Descriptions of the injury have been rather vague, with reporters hinting it might be a knee injury. Wilson had three catches for 32 yards before leaving. If he is forced to miss time Danny Amendola […]

Cowboys Monitoring Kelvin Benjamin, DeVante Parker

The Dallas Cowboys are monitoring Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin and Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker, according to a source. The Cowboys are one of the most receiver-needy teams in the NFL but are still unsure if they'll make a move to acquire a wideout before the Oct. 30 deadline. Benjamin and Parker […]

Eagles Considering DeVante Parker

The Philadelphia Eagles are one team considering trading for Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker, according to a source. Parker has been a massive first-round bust for the Dolphins due to injuries and inconsistency, and he's played in just two games this year, catching two of his four targets for 40 yards. A change of […]

DeVante Parker, A.J. Derby Inactive For Week 7

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) and tight end A.J. Derby (foot) are both inactive for Week 7 against the Lions. Parker and Derby both practiced this week, so they are more of healthy scratches. Parker has played in just two games this year and has just two catches for 40 yards. He's quickly […]

Dolphins Not Actively Shopping DeVante Parker

The Miami Dolphins are not actively shopping wide receiver Devante Parker, but they have spoken to several teams about him. He is available for the right price, but the Dolphins are comfortable with hanging onto him, too. Parker continues to deal with injuries and ineffectiveness and has been a first-round bust for the team, so […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 7 Fantasy Football Picks

I like to draw inspiration from classic hip-hop lyrics when doing pretty much anything and writing is no different. When it came to summing up this week's Hero picks, I dug a little deeper than usual down my rankings list. How deep? Deep as the abyss, deeper than Atlantis, deeper than a prostitu... never mind, […]
