Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake rushed 14 times for 48 yards and caught three passes for 18 yards in the Dolphins 27-20 win over the Titans. Drake picked up 1/3rd of his yards on one 16 yard carry. He was out performed by Frank Gore, who ran for 61 yards on nine carries himself. […]
Ryan Tannehill Tosses Two Touchdowns Sunday
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill went 20-for-28 passing for 230 yards along with two touchdowns and two interceptions. This game had a lengthy interruption due to weather, but despite poor conditions Tannehill had a decent return to game action. He relied heavily on Kenny Stills in this one, as Stills caught both his touchdowns and […]
DeVante Parker, Kalen Ballage Inactive
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) and rookie Kalen Ballage are inactive for Week 1 against the Titans. Parker is no surprise on this list, and he might even be questionable for Week 2. Kenny Stills should be the top receiver against the Titans, with Danny Amendola, Albert Wilson and Jakeem Grant also seeing […]
DeVante Parker Not Expected To Play
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) is not expected to play in Week 1 against the Titans, according to a source. This doesn't come as a surprise, as Parker was listed as doubtful to play. He won't necessarily be a lock to return in Week 2 either. With Parker out on Sunday, Kenny Stills […]

Frank Gore Sits Out Thursday's Practice, Active For Sunday
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore sat out of practice on Thursday, likely for rest. At 35 years old, it makes sense for the Dolphins to keep Gore's workload down to ensure he can play the entire season. Gore remains a low-end fantasy option and should only be used for his potential goal-line scores. There is […]

DeVante Parker Listed As Doubtful
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) is officially listed as doubtful for Week 1 against the Titans. Parker will not play in this game and might also miss Week 2. In his absence, Kenny Stills will be the No. 1 receiver. Albert Wilson, Danny Amendola and Jakeem Grant will also see their roles increase. […]
Week 1 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
After months of painstaking preparations toward determining how to draft your collection of running backs, you may have initially believed that you had successfully navigated the unpredictable flow of the live draft process. But when you reviewed your roster, that optimism faded, as you realized that this critical position had not been completely addressed. Maybe […]
Week 1 Tight Ends - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
So your fantasy draft left you with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, a terrific tandem at running back, and two tight ends that will not be able to catch a cold even if they were in a frozen pond in the dead of winter with nothing on but tube socks. Well, it is time to fix […]
Albert Wilson Has High Hopes For Offense
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is very optimistic about the offense in 2018. “I think we’re gonna be amazing,” Wilson said. “We’re gonna shock a lot of people. We’re gonna stretch the field and get the ball in a lot of different people’s hands and watch them make plays.” Miami finished 28th in scoring […]
Jakeem Grant Clears Concussion Protocol
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant (head) has cleared the concussion protocol ahead of Week 1 against the Titans. With Devante Parker (finger) already ruled out for the season opener, Grant should have an expanded role alongside Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson. However, he's still probably not a candidate for any starting lineups, and Danny […]
MarQueis Gray Put On IR, Gavin Escobar Signs
The Miami Dolphins placed tight end MarQueis Gray (Achilles) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and re-signed tight end Gavin Escobar in a corresponding move. Gray was set to be the team's starting tight end, but he reportedly suffered a serious injury in practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if he'll be able to make it back […]
Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Craig Rondinone
Fantasy football pundits and prognosticators love making predictions as much as Rachael Ray loves making dinner. I love making both, but this column is about my predictions, not my pasta.

Frank Gore Facing Tough Matchup, Playing-Time Concerns Week 1
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore will likely work behind Kenyan Drake in Sunday's matchup against the Titans. The Titans have a formidable rush defense. Last season they allowed the fourth fewest rushing yards and fourth fewest rushing yards per carry. They were also the seventh ranked rush defense by DVOA. Gore may not see […]
Danny Amendola May See Additional Targets in Week 1
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola will be the slot receiver in Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Titans. With Devante Parker (finger) inactive, Amendola may see additional targets in this game. Amendola has excelled in a slot role, and quarterback Ryan Tannehill fostered one of the most prolific PPR reception machines in Jarvis Landry […]
Kenny Stills Could See Additional Targets In Week 1
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills will be the Dolphins No. 1 receiver Sunday against the Titans. Wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) will be inactive, leaving Stills as the primarily downfield threat for Miami. Stills does draw a tough matchup; he is likely going to line up against Malcolm Butler. Butler was once considered among […]
Kenyan Drake Facing Tough Matchup In Week 1
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake will carry most of the load for Miami in Week 1 against the Titans. The Titans have a formidable rush defense. Last season they allowed the fourth fewest rushing yards and fourth fewest rushing yards per carry. They were also the seventh ranked rush defense by DVOA. Since Drake […]
Ryan Tannehill an Underwhelming Option in Week 1
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is healthy and ready to go for a Week 1 tilt at home against the Titans. The Titans were a sub par pass defense last season, allowing the eighth most passing yards and passing touchdowns last season and also ranked 24th in DVOA. The Titans rectified their woes through the […]
MarQueis Gray Limited Wednesday
Miami Dolphins tight end MarQueis Gray (foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Gray is listed as the team's starting tight end, but rookie Mike Gesicki has the most pass-catching upside of the group and could become a red-zone option immediately for quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Gray should be ignored in fantasy leagues.
Frank Gore, Jakeem Grant On Injury Report
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore (Achilles) and wide receiver Jakeem Grant (concussion) were both on the injury report on Wednesday, but both players practiced in full. It's not a good sign that the veteran Gore is already on the injury report, but it looks like he'll be fine to play in Week 1 against […]
Williams Hayes Practices on Wednesday, Dolphins Defense at 100%
Miami Dolphins defensive end Williams Hayes returned to practice on Wednesday, which puts the Dolphins defense at 100 percent for the first time since early in training camp. Despite the early-season health, the Dolphins defense is not in any position to have an improved 2018 campaign; they will likely repeat their below-average 2017 season. They […]
DeVante Parker Won't Play Sunday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) will not play in the season opener this Sunday, according to a league source. He's been out since Aug. 12 when he suffered a broken finger during practice. Both Albert Wilson and Jakeem Grant will likely see more snaps in the offense as a result against the Titans. […]
