Stop that Hype Train! DeVante Parker

Again with this guy? Really? You should all be reading this in the same exasperated tone I am writing in. Devante Parker is a superb athletic specimen. No one can take that away from him.

Tight End Standard Rankings - Tiers and Analysis

Tight end is always a difficult position to draft. The elite players go early but you have to be willing to sacrifice other positions to lock them down.

Plunging into the world of football analytics is without question the best way to find fantasy sleepers for the coming season.

Offenses To Trust and Which Will Bust for 2018 Fantasy Football

It perhaps goes without saying that fantasy owners should look to draft players on high-powered offenses, as they usually offer a bevy of startable assets and have a higher chance for scoring opportunities than most teams.

Kenyan Drake Gets Three Carries in First Preseason Game

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake got three carries and picked up 16 yards in the Dolphins' 26-24 preseason loss to the Buccaneers. Drake only played the opening series before being lifted.

Ryan Tannehill Plays One Series in First Preseason Game

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee) was 4-for-6 for 32 yards passing in the Dolphins' 26-24 preseason loss to the Buccaneers. This was Tannehill's first game action since 2016 after he suffered a torn ACL in his knee that season. Most starters won't play more than a series or two in early preseason games, so […]

Stop that Hype Train! Marlon Mack

Often, fantasy football sleepers stop being sleepers because so many people have collectively decided that they are sleepers and they start to jump up draft boards. When the players end up being drafted above their worth, you end up with a spot on your roster that isn't giving you maximum value. Don't do that. Don't […]

Frank Gore Impressed By Kenyan Drake

Miami Dolphins veteran running back Frank Gore is impressed by fellow teammate Kenyan Drake. “I was like, ‘Man, I kinda see why they traded Jay Ajayi,’” Gore said. “He’s very talented. Jay Ajayi was a great back, too, but Kenyan is a very talented guy. He’s smart. He can do everything on the field. I […]

Why You Should Wait on Tight End This Year

The tight end position is always one of the most frustrating ones to fill. There's a major gap between the top talent at the position and everyone else in a way that there isn't for running backs, wide receivers, and quarterbacks, so it can be tempting to grab someone in the Rob Gronkowski/ Travis Kelce/ […]

Dolphins Sign Jeremy Langford

The Miami Dolphins signed free-agent running back Jeremy Langford on Monday, according to a source. Langford hasn't played since 2016 with the Bears. Langford was once expected to open the season as Chicago's starting running back, but that never panned out. In his rookie season in 2015, Langford had 148 carries for 537 yards (3.6 […]

Kenyan Drake, Frank Gore Listed Atop Depth Chart

The Miami Dolphins list running back Kenyan Drake or Frank Gore as their starting running backs on their first unofficial depth chart, but head coach Adam Gase said it doesn't mean anything. “I wouldn’t look too much into this depth chart," Gase said. Drake is fully expected to see the lion's share of the touches […]

Boom or Bust that ADP

Last year I wrote about the seismic shift that took place amidst the RB renaissance and coined the concept #AllBenchRB. This year, I'm starting off with a new concept called #BBADP, which stands for Boom/Bust ADP. You see, I think rankings and ADPs are limited. The range of outcomes for two players juxtaposed in ADP […]

Mike Gesicki Emerging As Red-Zone Target

Miami Dolphins rookie tight end Mike Gesicki, a second-round pick, is showing promise and has emerged as a go-to red-zone target for quarterback Ryan Tannehill in training camp. Gesicki's 6-foot-5 frame is a great target in the scoring area. He's blocking needs improvement, but it looks like he'll be the team's main pass-catching tight end […]

Blocking A Concern For Mike Gesicki

Miami Dolphins rookie tight end Mike Gesicki missed a blitz in practice on Thursday, and his blocking continues to be a concern, as he wasn't asked to do much blitz pickup in college. However, he made up for it by catching a nice touchdown from quarterback Brock Osweiler in one-on-one drills. Gesicki has been one […]
