A.J. Derby Ruled Out Against Bengals

Miami Dolphins tight end A.J. Derby (foot) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Bengals. That means that rookie Mike Gesicki will be the main pass-catching tight end this Sunday. Gesicki has yet to make an impact, though, catching only five passes on seven targets for 51 yards. […]

DeVante Parker, Reshad Jones Questionable

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps), safety Reshad Jones (shoulder) and defensive end Andre Branch (knee) are listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Bengals. Parker and Branch were limited in practice, while Jones practiced in full. Parker and Branch legitimately could miss Sunday's game, while Jones should be able to return and […]

Cameron Wake Doubtful For Week 5

Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) is doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Bengals after missing practice all week. With Andre Branch questionable, Miami's defensive line could be in bad shape this Sunday against Cincinnati. That'd be good news for quarterback Andy Dalton. Wake has 12 tackles and one sack through four […]

Dolphins Not Looking To Get Kenyan Drake Involved More

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said the team will continue "splitting" snaps between running backs Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore. In the blowout loss to the Patriots in Week 4, Drake carried the ball just three times for three yards while Gore had 11 attempts. For the season, Gore has 35 carries to Drake's […]

Kenyan Drake A Tough Play In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake has been a huge letdown to fantasy owners so far this season. Drake is a talented huge player who could certainly provide a boost to the Dolphins offense but has only touched the ball 10 times over the past two weeks. However, coach Adam Gase has mentioned multiple times […]

Dolphins Not Optimistic About DeVante Parker

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase didn't sound optimistic about wide receiver Devante Parker's (quadriceps) status for Week 5 against the Bengals. Parker has put in limited practices each of the last two days, but it still might not be enough to get the green light after he sat out in Week 4. The 25-year-old […]

Ryan Tannehill Is Primed To Improve

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is in a solid position to improve on his terrible Week 4 performance against the New England Patriots. Week 5 features a matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals who have been involved in numerous high-scoring affairs already this season. The Bengals defense ranks among the worst in the NFL in yards […]

DeVante Parker Dressed For Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) is dressed for practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It looks like Parker will be able to return in Week 5 against the Bengals after he was inactive in the blowout loss to the Patriots. Parker had only two catches on three targets for 40 yards […]

What To Do With Your San Francisco 49ers in Fantasy?

The season-ending injury to Jimmy Garoppolo triggered a somber mood for the San Francisco 49ers season, especially from a fantasy perspective. C.J. Beathard is by no means a top-32 starting quarterback in the NFL, but he does have some familiarity with this offense in his second year. Still, the questions remain. Who can you realistically trust on […]

Selling False RB2s - Why It's OK To Bail Out Now

We seem to end up doing this same song and dance every year with running backs. Whether it's someone like a Bilal Powell or Tarik Cohen popping early only to fizzle out, or general disappointments like Jay Ajayi and Adrian Peterson circa 2017, it usually takes a bit of digging to figure out. Here we'll […]

Fantasy Football Q&A Mailbag - Week 5

Week 4 of the 2018 NFL Season is in the books, and here is a quick fantasy recap to keep you up to date. Mitchell Trubisky! Six touchdown passes, 43.5 fantasy points, who saw that coming? Meanwhile, Drew Brees, Matthew Stafford, Philip Rivers, Tom Brady, Carson Wentz, Aaron Rodgers, and Ben Roethlisberger all finished outside […]

A.J. Derby Missing Practice

Miami Dolphins tight end A.J. Derby (foot) is out of practice on Wednesday. Derby sat out last week's loss against the Patriots and doesn't appear to be close to a return yet. He has only two catches on three targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in three games and isn't a viable fantasy commodity. […]

DeVante Parker, Reshad Jones Practicing Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (thigh) was at practice and went through drills on Wednesday after sitting out in Week 4. However, he did have a wrap on his right thigh. Safety Reshad Jones (shoulder), who missed back-to-back games the last two weeks despite practicing, was at practice on Wednesday. Parker has played in […]

Smashmouth: Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football (Week 5)

Over a quarter of the way through the fantasy season and teams are starting to come into shape. You will know if your team is ready to contend or if you need some other pieces to get back into the win column. It’s time for fantasy owners to make moves to acquire players they believe […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 5

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Deeper Sleepers Heading Into Week 5

Josh Bellamy. Logan Paulsen. John Ross. Those are just three of the random players who scored early touchdowns during Sunday afternoon's Week 4 slate. You won't find those names on the list of deeper sleepers below, but I just want you read them over a few times before we proceed. No one in their right mind […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Life is easy if you have Todd Gurley or Alvin Kamara. Sadly, statistics say that only 8.3% of all fantasy owners in a typical 12-team league will own one of these players. That number drops further the more teams in your league. Lucky for you, we're here to help. The running back scene can be […]

Week 5 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

As we enter Week 5, some of you are contending with massive disappointment regarding the production of running backs that you selected early in your draft process. This includes anyone who owns Leonard Fournette, Dalvin Cook, Devonta Freeman, Joe Mixon, Kenyan Drake, Jay Ajayi, Derrick Henry, Dion Lewis, and LeSean McCoy, as this cluster of backs […]

Bobby McCain Out 2-3 Weeks

Miami Dolphins cornerback Bobby McCain (knee) will be out two to three weeks with a knee injury, according to a source. Miami's secondary wasn't all that great to begin with, so this is a notable loss in the immediate future. McCain had 17 tackles and an interception through four weeks of the season.

Daniel Kilgore's Season Could Be Over

The Miami Dolphins fear that center Daniel Kilgore (triceps) suffered a torn triceps in Week 4, according to a source. That is a significant injury that would likely require him to miss the rest of the season. With Kilgore out for the foreseeable future, Travis Swanson is expected to fill in for a declining offensive […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 5 Lightning Round

We have officially passed the quarter pole of the 2018 season, and if you blinked then you missed it! Week 4 has seen the electric passing trend continue with quarterbacks shredding defenses at a never-before-seen rate, with pass-catching RBs and deeper WR plays seeing considerable action. In the interest of getting you the most timely […]

Mike Gesicki Quiet In Week 4

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki was limited to one catch for nine yards in Week 4 against the New England Patriots. The Patriots held the Dolphins offense to under 200 total yards which clearly wasn't a favorable situation for Gesicki. The Dolphins will continue to try to get Gesicki involved in their offense but […]

Brock Osweiler Tosses A Touchdown In Relief Appearance

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler entered the game in relief of Ryan Tannehill in Miami's 38-7 loss to New England in Week 4. Miami was losing by so much that Tannehill was pulled for Osweiler to avoid injury to Tannehill. Osweiler was 4-for-5 passing for 35 yards and a touchdown. There is not a quarterback […]

Albert Wilson Totals 21 Yards In Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson had 21 total yards in their Week 4 loss to New England. Miami was destroyed 38-7 and had nothing going on offense, totaling just 172 yards as a team. Wilson caught four passes for 19 yards and rushed once for two yards. He wasn't able to replicate his trickery […]

Danny Amendola Catches Two Passes In Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola caught two passes for 21 yards Sunday in their Week 4 loss to New England. Miami was blown out 38-7 in this one, and with atrocious quarterback play from Ryan Tannehill no receiver had great production for the Dolphins. Amendola seems like a safe bet to catch between 2-5 […]

Kenny Stills Hauls In Three Catches In Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills led the team in receiving in their 38-7 loss to New England in Week 4. Stills caught three passes on six targets for 40 yards. Not much went right for Miami in this one, and Stills was dragged down by awful quarterback play from Ryan Tannehill. Stills is a […]

Frank Gore Rushes For 41 Yards In Week 4

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was Miami's leading rusher in their 38-7 loss in Week 4 to New England. Gore ran for 41 yards on 11 carries and also caught two passes for 16 yards and a touchdown. Gore out-touched Kenyan Drake 13-4 and out-gained Drake 57-16. Game situation may have dictated Gore's usage, […]

Kenyan Drake Totals Only 16 Yards In Week 4

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was disappointing once again in Miami's 38-7 loss to New England in Week 4. Drake had just three carries for three yards and one catch for 13 yards. He was out-touched by Frank Gore 13-4 and out-gained by Gore 57-16. Drake has gained just six yards rushing over the […]

Ryan Tannehill Turns In A Dud In Week 4 Blowout Loss

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill was atrocious in Miami's 38-7 loss to New England in Week 4. Tannehill was 11-for-20 through the air for 100 yards passing and an interception. He was eventually pulled for Brock Osweiler after the game was out of hand. There isn't a quarterback controversy in Miami, but Tannehill really did […]

Kalen Ballage Active For First Time

The Miami Dolphins have made rookie running back Kalen Ballage active for the first time this season ahead of Sunday's meeting with the New England Patriots. While it's not clear what this means, with Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore failing to make a huge impression thus far, there could be room for Ballage as the […]
