Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 2

One week down, 16 more weeks of under-the-radar booms and busts to go! My opening week of boom/bust predictions was as uneven as Eminem’s new album. While James White and Ted Ginn made me look like I may know a thing or two, DeSean Jackson ruined everything by posting a 5-146-2 line that made me […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target in DFS (Week 2)

Were you a bad enough dude to roster Phillip Dorsett against the Houston Texans last week? His smash game (at least for his price point) was a matchup-based play that was highlighted in the Week 1 version of this piece. It panned out extremely well. While Donte Moncrief didn't produce has planned, he did account […]

Dolphins Tight End An Interesting Option

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki is in a position to make a fantasy impact during his Week 2 matchup against the below-average New York Jets defense. Gesicki was only targeted twice during his 25 snaps in Week 1, but head coach Adam Gase says that he wants Gesicki more involved in the offense. If […]

Albert Wilson An Unexciting Option In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is a low-end option in Week 2 against the Jets. He has an unclear role in the offense and caught just three passes for 31 yards on four targets in Week 1 against the Titans. The Jets do have a weak pass defense. The Jets were number 22 in […]

Danny Amendola A Poor Flex Option Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola has a suspect role in the team's offense based on his tepid Week 1 performance. Amendola caught four passes for 26 yards against the Titans in Week 1. On the bright side for Amendola the Jets are a weak pass defense. The Jets were number 22 in pass defense […]

Kenny Stills Has Favorable Matchup In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is facing a favorable matchup Sunday against the New York Jets. The Jets were number 22 in pass defense DVOA last season and gave up the ninth most points to wide receivers in 2017. Stills is coming off a 106-yard, two touchdown week in Week 1 and is the […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex Option In Week 2

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore will work in a split with Kenyan Drake in Week 2 against the Jets. The Jets are a tough run defense and they ranked number 11 in rush defense DVOA last season. They also allowed just 39 yards on the ground in Week 1. Gore rushed for 61 yards […]

Kenyan Drake A Borderline RB2 in Week 2

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is facing uncertainty in the amount of touches he will receive in Week 2. He got 17 touches last week (14 carries, three catches) but only tallied 66 total yards and was outperformed on the ground by Frank Gore. Drake is the younger and more versatile back, but the […]

Ryan Tannehill Facing Good Matchup In Week 2

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill has a favorable matchup in Week 2 against the New York Jets. The Jets ranked number 22 in pass defense DVOA last season and allowed the fourth most points to quarterbacks in 2017. They did shut down Matt Stafford last week, but that game looked more about Stafford and the […]

DeVante Parker Listed As Questionable

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) is officially listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Jets despite being a full practice participant over the last two days. Miami is being cautious with their top wideout after he missed most of training camp and Week 1 with his injury. The expectation is that he'll […]

Josh Sitton Out For Season

Miami Dolphins left guard Josh Sitton (shoulder) will be out for the remainder of the season with a torn rotator cuff. Sitton was a key component of the Dolphins offensive line that the Dolphins claimed was the best unit they have had in many years. Sitton's left guard position will likely be filled by second-year […]

Kenyan Drake In Complicated Situation For Week 2

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is in a tough fantasy situation heading into his Week 2 matchup against the New York Jets. Drake has shown that he has the raw talent to be an elite running back, but the Dolphins seem to be rolling out more of a mixed backfield. During Week 1, Drake […]

DeVante Parker, Danny Amendola Practice In Full

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Devante Parker (finger) and Danny Amendola both practiced in full on Thursday. Parker was limited on Wednesday, while Amendola was rested. Parker sat out Week 1 and missed a lot of training camp and the preseason, so it's fair to have hesitation about starting him this weekend against the Jets. Amendola […]

DeVante Parker Itching To Play This Week

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) seems fine and is "itching to play" in Week 2 against the Jets, according to head coach Adam Gase. Parker sat out the opener but looks primed to make his season debut this Sunday. His return is bad news for Kenny Stills, who had over 100 yards and […]

DeVante Parker Practices Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) practiced with the team Wednesday. He caught passes and ran routes for the first time since Parker originally suffered the broken finger. Reporters were only allowed to see half of the practice, so it is unclear how much Parker actually did. He was using his right hand without […]

Kenny Stills Becoming Consistent Receiving Option

The Miami Dolphins have faith that wide receiver Kenny Stills can become a complete No. 1 option for the offense in the passing game. “We know he’s a vertical threat. He showed that again, that he’s still able to do that,” head coach Adam Gase said. “There’s [going to be] more underneath and there’s [going […]

Gavin Escobar Released By Dolphins

Miami Dolphins tight end Gavin Escobar has been released to make room for the signing of center Travis Swanson. Escobar had no receptions in the Dolphins Week 1 matchup. The Dolphins now only have three healthy TEs on their roster, with tight end Mike Gesicki being the top pass-catcher. However, Gesicki remains a low-end option […]
