Mike Gesicki Pleased With Early-Season Role

Miami Dolphins rookie tight end Mike Gesicki says that he is pleased with his role over the first two games of the season. The rookie has only one catch for 11 yards so far in the 2018 campaign but has proven himself as an excellent blocker. Ironically, Gesicki was a terrible blocker at Penn State […]

Week 3 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

It’s time to start prepping for Week 3 waiver wire additions and I have you covered for wide receivers. As I was looking up players to add for this article, I was shocked to see some of the names that are still not at least 50% owned in fantasy leagues. A couple of them will […]

Week 3 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We had another wild and woolly week of action in the NFL, and some big quarterback performances from unlikely sources once again in Week 2. Many owners prefer to set and forget at quarterback, but for those of us that like to play the streaming game we've got to be on top of matchups every […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

There's always some degree of insanity at the outset of a new football season, but 2018 feels like quite the beast in this regard. We've got players being thrust into the spotlight due to injuries and sheer force of will -- some are new names, some very familiar -- but how can you keep up […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 3)

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 […]

Blake Bortles (QB, JAC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was impressive in Jacksonville’s 31-20 win over the Patriots on Sunday, throwing for 377 yards and four touchdowns. It's one of the best games Bortles has ever played in the NFL. This was also a coming out game […]

DeVante Parker Was Ready To Go For Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (finger) said that he was ready to go for the Dolphins Week 2 matchup against the New York Jets and was unsure why he was inactive. Earlier this week, head coach Adam Gase also mentioned that Parker was not having any issues catching balls at practice on Thursday or […]

A.J. Derby Catches Touchdown In Week 2

Miami Dolphins tight end A.J. Derby caught one pass for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins 20-12 win over the Jets in Week 2. Derby had only two targets in this one, but made his only catch count. With MarQueis Gray (achilles) out for the season Derby could emerge as the Dolphins number […]

Kenny Stills Only Catches Two Passes In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills caught two passes for 17 yards in the Dolphins' 20-12 win over the Jets in Week 2. This production is quite a letdown given his 106-yard, two touchdown performance in Week 1. That is the nature of a player like Stills, who epitomizes the term boom-or-bust. The Dolphins jumped […]

Danny Amendola Catches Four Passes In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola caught four passes for 32 yards in the Dolphins 20-12 win over the Jets in Week 2. Amendola left the game briefly to be evaluated for a concussion but returned after being cleared from concussion protocol. Amendola only had four targets in this one as the Dolphins only threw […]

Albert Wilson Catches Touchdown In Week 2 Victory

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson caught three passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 20-12 win over the Jets in Week 2. Wilson led the Dolphins in targets with five this week. Danny Amendola missed a portion of the game after being evaluated for a concussion which may have contributed to […]

Frank Gore Tallies 44 Total Yards In Week 2

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore rushed nine times for 25 yards and caught one pass for 19 yards in the Dolphins' 20-12 win over the Jets in Week 2. Gore was largely ineffective outside of catching that 19-yard pass. He did pass Curtis Martin to become fourth all-time in rushing yards, but that tells […]

Kenyan Drake Tallies 70 Total Yards In Week 2

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake rushed 11 times for 53 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 17 yards in the Dolphins 20-12 win over the Jets on Sunday. Drake out-touched Frank Gore 15 to 11 and out-gained him for 70 yards compared to Gore's 44. Drake is on the strong side […]

Ryan Tannehill Tosses Two Touchdowns In Week 2

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill was 17-for-23 passing with two touchdowns and 168 yards in the Dolphins 20-12 win over the Jets in Week 2. Tannehill wasn't asked to throw much as the Dolphins ran it 31 times to try and kill clock after jumping out to a 20-0 lead in the first half. Tannehill […]

Danny Amendola Returns To Game

Updating a previous report, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (head) returned to the Week 2 game against the Jets after leaving briefly to be evaluated for a concussion. Amendola had three catches for 27 yards before he left. Albert Wilson would've been in line for more snaps had Amendola missed the rest of the […]

Danny Amendola Removed From Game

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (head) was taken out of the Week 2 game against the Jets and is being evaluated for a concussion. Amendola caught three passes for 27 yards before leaving. If he's out for the rest of the day, receiver Albert Wilson should benefit from more looks.

Kalen Ballage A Healthy Scratch

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Kalen Ballage remains inactive in Week 2 against the Jets. Quarterback David Fales is also a healthy scratch. Ballage has nice upside in this backfield, but he's well behind starters Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore, making him not worth owning in single-year leagues.

DeVante Parker Inactive For Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) is inactive for their Week 2 game against the Jets. Parker had practiced all week but still apparently isn't well enough to play in an actual game. This boosts Kenny Stills' value as the Dolphins number one receiver, and gives a slight bump in value to Danny Amendola […]

Week 2 Rankings Analysis - Nick Mariano vs. ECR

Welcome, one and all, to the weekly piece that puts my rankings under the microscope and gives me a chance to explain myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) found on FantasyPros. I did decently in Week 1, scoring 29th out of ~130 experts, but if I'm going to beat my 9th place finish from […]

Running Back Touch Breakdown - Week 1 Recap

Anytime I start a new project, I’m filled with so much excitement it’s hard not to start just dumping data on Twitter and sharing it with the world. That is how I have felt with this project for several weeks now. One thing I have always loved is collecting data on running backs. I truly […]

Wide Receiver Targets and Snaps - Week 1 Report

After spending months, weeks, and days subtracting the amount of time that remained until the regular season, we have now shifted focus toward adding numbers instead. This applies to the weekly variances in how many opportunities your wide receivers are being allotted, both in terms of their snap count and in how many targets they […]

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 […]

NFL DFS for Week 2: DraftKings Power Pivots

For those of us that play NFL DFS tournaments every week, ownership percentage is always a critical piece of the puzzle. Having a lineup full of very popular or chalk plays can limit upside in GPP tournaments. We can sometimes gain leverage in a tournament situation by differentiating our lineups, even if it’s only in […]

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 […]

Week 2 Consistency Report

Finding consistency in fantasy sports is hugely important if you want to have a shot at winning your leagues. Players with high variability week-to-week have their purpose, but if you rely too much on them you are going to find yourself frustrated some weeks. If fantasy football had roto style leagues like baseball, or you […]
