Dolphins Defense A Low-End Play This Weekend

The Miami Dolphins defense has been well below average when it comes to passing yards allowed over the first two games of the season. In Week 3, they will be facing the Oakland Raiders offense that has been well above average in passing. Derek Carr has proven to be a solid quarterback, and coach Jon […]

Albert Wilson A Low-End WR3 In Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is facing a decent matchup in Week 3 against the Raiders. In Week 2 Wilson led the Dolphins in receiving yards (37) and targets (5) last week, though they only threw the ball 23 times. Wilson outperformed Danny Amendola, his main competitor for targets from the slot position, though […]

Danny Amendola A WR4 In Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is a low-end flex option in Week 3. Amendola hauled in four catches for only 32 yards in Week 2, and like always is best used in PPR leagues. Amendola has had four catches through the first two weeks but for only 58 yards and no touchdowns. The ceiling […]

Kenny Stills A WR2 In Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills will be the Dolphins No. 1 receiver in Week 3 against the Raiders. Stills was disappointing in Week 2 with only two catches for 17 yards, but that is the nature of a deep threat receiver like Stills. He is known to be boom-or-bust in any given week. The Raiders […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex Option In Week 3

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore will split carries with Kenyan Drake in Week 3. He got nine carries last week, but only produced 25 yards on the ground. Gore has gotten exactly nine carries in the first two weeks of the season, so his market share on offense should be somewhere in the 7-10 […]

Week 3 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Through two weeks of the NFL season, my hit rate on projecting non-quarterback busts has been pretty strong, but when it comes to predicting which quarterbacks would struggles...man, it's been tough. Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 2 and Patrick Mahomes in Week 1... Still, it's Week 3, and we're starting to get some better data to […]

Week 3 Consistency Reports - All Positions

Assessing consistency after two weeks of the season is always tough but in a 16-game season we have already seen an eighth of it. Therefore, looking at how players have started the season is still useful. It may not be a predictor of long-term fantasy consistency but it does give us an impression of who […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target in DFS (Week 3)

As the season rolls on, it becomes easier and easier to decide which corners are the ones I'm most likely to find success picking on. One of those CBs was discovered in last weeks article, and I will be featuring him again in the first matchup I break down this week. Nothing is more important […]

Reshad Jones Expected To Play

Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder), who is questionable for Week 3 against the Raiders, is expected to play on Sunday. Jones is one of the more attractive IDP safeties in the league and has six tackles and two interceptions through two weeks. If he's on the field, it'll be a downgrade for Raiders quarterback […]

Kenyan Drake, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill Off Injury Report

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake (abdomen), wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) and quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle, knee) all practiced in full on Friday and have been removed from the Week 3 injury report against the Raiders. Drake will be the starting running back and is a strong RB2 against a weak Raiders front. Tannehill […]

Kenyan Drake Facing A Soft Rush Defense In Week 3

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is in a great spot in Week 3 against the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders have been shredded for the third most yards rushing and highest yards per carry allowed in the NFL. Oakland has felt the loss of Khalil Mack on defense, as well as the loss of Denico […]

Ryan Tannehill Has Good Matchup In Week 3

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is facing a favorable matchup in Week 3 against the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders allowed the seventh most passing yards in the NFL last season and will be without cornerback Daryl Worley (suspension) and possibly cornerback Nick Nelson (hamstring) as well. Oakland has performed better thus far in 2018, but […]

Reshad Jones Questionable For Week 3

Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder) is questionable to play in Week 3 against the Raiders. Jones is one of the better IDP safeties to employ on a weekly basis, but you might need to look for other options. If he sits out, it'll be an upgrade for Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and deep-threat receiver […]

Wide Receiver Depth Chart Analysis - Week 3

It was another interesting week of games and news in the NFL, which has resulted in the shakeup of several wide receiver depth charts around the league.

Week 3 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! After another high-scoring slate of games in Week 2, you are probably looking forward to getting some lineups set for Week 3. NFL offenses have been on fire through the first two weeks of the season, especially passing offenses. This makes stacking a quarterback with his top passing game target a must […]

Danny Amendola Should Be Avoided

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola has been struggling to be the PPR monster he was in the past. Amendola has only eight catches for 58 yards this year. The yardage isn't all that concerning, but for Amendola to be a productive fantasy player, he needs more receptions. The Dolphins do have a favorable matchup […]

Frank Gore An Option For Week 3

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore has continued to show that he is a viable fantasy option even though he has running back Kenyan Drake taking the majority of touches. Gore had nine carries in both of the first two weeks and it is reasonable to believe that he will continue to receive that many, […]

Dolphins Non-Committal On DeVante Parker

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase remains non-committal on whether wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) will make his season debut against the Raiders in Week 3. Parker has been practicing in full this week and looks more comfortable catching passes, but Miami may play it cautious and hold him out another week. Even if he […]

DeVante Parker More Comfortable In Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) looks much more comfortable catching passes in practice this week. Parker was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and looks to be ready to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Raiders. It's not a lock yet, though, and Parker will be much too risky […]

Reshad Jones Misses Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder) didn't practice on Wednesday, but head coach Adam Gase said Jones is day-to-day. Jones has six tackles and two interceptions on the season and is a top IDP safety when he's healthy. His absence would be an upgrade to Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and the deep passing game, including […]

Kenyan Drake, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill Practice In Full

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake (abdomen), wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) and quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle, knee) all practiced in full on Wednesday.
