Week 4 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

Week 4 didn't kick off with a bang, it was a shootout, and there's a good chance the week will go down guns ablazin' when the (3-0) Kansas City Chiefs take on the (2-1) Denver Broncos Monday night. If you haven't heard by now, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs boast one of the most prolific […]

DeVante Parker A Poor Option In Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker is tumbling down the Dolphins depth chart. He gets a soft matchup in Week 4 against the Patriots, however he doesn't seem to have much of a role in Miami's offense. After missing Week 1 and Week 2 he only had two catches on three targets in his season […]

Albert Wilson Will Look To Recreate Trickery In Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is facing a soft matchup in Week 4 against the New England Patriots. The Patriots have allowed the tenth most fantasy points to wide receivers through the first three weeks. Wilson had 19.48 standard fantasy points last week, all of which came by way of trick plays. He took […]

Week 4 Lineup Questions - Fantasy Football Pop Quiz

We are officially in the BYE week zone. Yes, three weeks in, we're reminded that the NFL tends to structure it's BYE weeks somewhat unevenly, and just as harshly, we've probably built our teams unevenly as well. Almost every fantasy platform you use to draft shows you what the BYE week is for every player, […]

Mike Gesicki A Solid Option In Week 4

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki should see a large increase in snaps this weekend now that tight end A.J. Derby has been officially ruled out. Gesicki saw an increase in targets and catches last week and that trend should continue this week as he and rookie Durham Smythe are the only two tight ends […]

A.J. Derby Ruled Out For Week 4

Miami Dolphins tight end A.J. Derby (foot) has been ruled out of Sunday's matchup against the New England Patriots. Derby hurt his foot during Week 3 against the Oakland Raiders and hasn't been able to practice all week. The Dolphins have not released any long-term news about the injury. Derby's absence means that tight end […]

Kenny Stills In WR2/3 Territory For Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is on the WR2/3 border in Week 4 against the Patriots. New England has allowed the tenth most fantasy points to wide receivers thus far and the Patriots at -6.5 point favorites, meaning Miami should be throwing often in this game. Stills is a boom-or-bust type of player, who […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex Option In Week 4

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is nothing more than a desperation flex in Week 4 against the Patriots. New England has allowed the second most rushing yards in the league, but Gore has been atrocious on the ground the last two weeks. Between Week 2 and Week 3 Gore had 15 carries for 37 […]

Ryan Tannehill A QB2 Option In Week 4

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is a middling option in Week 4 against the Patriots. New England has allowed the twelfth most passing yards in the NFL thus far, an average of 263 yards per game. New England's secondary was absolutely decimated in Week 2 by Blake Bortles of all quarterbacks, but otherwise look improved […]

Wide Receiver Depth Chart Analysis: Week 4

We're back for the Week 4 wide receiver depth chart analysis. While this isn't the sexiest article out there, it's important. For example, Tyler Boyd was a great play last week, and his snap counts in comparison to John Ross indicated that could be the case. This week, some of the more interesting options based […]

Stop The Slander and Buy Patriots

After another slow start in New England--specifically Tom Brady--people are saying the end is near. Stop The Slander! Buy up all the Patriots shares you can get, because the fantasy point train may be a bit delayed, but it is on its way. How many years of consistent productivity do you need? What assurances do […]

Death of the Workhorse RB

In a time, not too long ago, defense was king of the NFL. Pulverizing hits weren't just legal, they were glamorized. The rules of the game itself were slightly slanted in favor of those on the defensive side of the ball, and in order to find success, teams were forced to wear down the opposition […]

Kenyan Drake A Solid RB Option

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is a solid option in Week 4 against the weak New England Patriots defense. The Patriots defense has allowed an average of 406 yard per game this season and coach Adam Gase will certainly want to exploit that with the talented Drake. Drake is coming off of a very […]

Danny Amendola A Low-End Play Again

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola returns back to Foxboro this weekend to play against the New England Patriots, the team he has won two Super Bowls with. Amendola's numbers over the first three games have been almost identical- three to four catches for 20 to 40 yards. It is very reasonable to believe that […]

Ryan Tannehill On Week 4 Injury Report

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) practiced in full on Wednesday. Tannehill's injury shouldn't prevent him from playing in Week 4 against the Patriots. He has yet to go over 300 yards passing in three weeks, but Tannehill has been efficient (73 completion percentage) and has seven touchdowns and only two picks in 74 attempts. […]

Reshad Jones Limited Wednesday

Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Jones was inactive in Week 3 against the Raiders, but he has a chance to return against the division-rival Patriots this Sunday. Miami will need Jones back in action in order to slow down quarterback Tom Brady and the passing game with receiver […]

Cameron Wake, Andre Branch Miss Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins defensive ends Cameron Wake (knee) and Andre Branch (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. It's not a good sign after the team lost pass-rusher William Hayes for the season last weekend. The Dolphins will need to get as much pressure as possible on Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in order to have a shot […]

A.J. Derby Not Practicing Wednesday

Miami Dolphins tight end A.J. Derby (foot) is not practicing on Wednesday after injuring his foot in Week 3 against the Raiders. It's not a good sign for his availability this weekend against the Patriots. Derby has just two catches on three targets for 35 yards and a touchdown through two weeks, so he hasn't […]
