Ryan Tannehill OK After Incidental Contact in Practice

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shin) was accidentally kicked in the shin during practice on Wednesday. He fell to the ground and writhed in pain, but thankfully did not re-aggravate the knee injury which cost him the entire 2017 season. There were reports out of training camp that Tannehill looked healthy and ready to play, […]

A.J. Derby Considered Day-To-Day

Miami Dolphins tight end A.J. Derby (foot) is day-to-day with a minor foot injury. This doesn't appear to be serious and probably won't hold him out of practice for longer than a few days. Derby was practicing with the first team and appears to be the frontrunner for the starting tight end job in Miami. […]

Frank Gore Not Looking His Age

Miami Dolphins veteran running back Frank Gore, 35, has not looked his age so far in training camp. “He doesn’t look different than he did 10 years ago,” said head coach Adam Gase, who coached Gore as an offensive assistant with the 49ers in 2008. “He does a phenomenal job. He’s been preparing all spring. […]

Road to #1 Running Back - AFC East

Each year, elite running backs are a necessity for fantasy football rosters. With guaranteed touches each game, these consensus top-tier running backs are some of the first names off of draft boards and consistently perform well throughout the season. However, there is also a good amount of unpredictability at the position, with breakout players appearing […]

Late-Round Running Backs To Target For ZeroRB Drafters

In part one, I identified mid-round values at the RB position. Now it's time to dig even deeper. With running backs flying off the board at an insane clip this year, typically 8-10 are taken in the first round alone, elite wide receivers are being drafted at a big discount. This is the exact type […]

Running Back Committees to Avoid in 2018

The three-down back is starting to disappear in the NFL, and fantasy owners who don’t have a top first-round pick are missing out on the elite options. The shift to more committees in the NFL has also altered the way fantasy football owners draft. There are some team backfields you may want to avoid for […]

Mid-Round Running Backs To Target For ZeroRB Drafters

With running backs flying off the board at an insane clip this year, typically 8-10 are taken in the first round alone, elite wide receivers are being drafted at a big discount. This is the exact type of “economy” a ZeroRB drafter thrives in. Grab elite WR1 and WR2 types in the early rounds while […]

Draft Strategy - How to Approach Two-QB Leagues

For nearly the past decade it has been en vogue to draft quarterbacks late in your typical fantasy football drafts. There are plenty of studies that have determined that there isn’t a huge weekly difference between the perceived top quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers and lower-end streaming options. That advice has worked well […]

Ben Watson (TE, NO) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Once your draft has moved into the double-digit rounds, your efforts to pinpoint sleepers among the collection of players that remain available should become increasingly galvanized. While your ongoing attempt to stockpile running backs and wide receivers will continue as you advance through this portion of the draft, locating a second tight end to supplement […]

Kalen Ballage (RB, MIA) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~200 CURRENT ADP: ~210 ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage joins a Miami backfield that should be led by Kenyan Drake with Frank Gore also mixing in. Ballage will likely offer little in the run game, but where he can really make his mark is in the passing game and return game. Ballage has the size to […]

Ryan Tannehill Looking Healthy in Training Camp

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee) was showing no ill effects coming off of ACL surgery in training camp, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. His mobility reportedly look as good as it was prior to surgery. Though the Dolphins brought in Brock Osweiler and Bryce Petty this offseason it seems like Tannehill will be […]

Mike Gesicki (TE, MIA) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~170 CURRENT ADP: ~185 ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki may be just the rookie tight end to hype, something that is very rare in fantasy football. Even Rob Gronkowski was not a TE1 during his rookie season and it took a perfect storm of injuries in 2017 for Evan Engram to reach that level. Luckily, since […]

Chris Ivory (RB, BUF) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~165 CURRENT ADP: ~180 ANALYSIS: It’s always tough to deal with legal situations in fantasy football, especially since the NFL has proven to be inconsistent with its punitive measures regarding domestic violence situations in the past. Regardless, the fantasy fallout of a potential LeSean McCoy suspension would shift the entire outlook of the Bills offense […]

Julian Edelman (WR, NE) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~60 CURRENT ADP: ~70 ANALYSIS: In terms of raw targets, only one team managed to throw towards the slot more times than Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. While Julian Edelman lost his season before it began to a torn ACL, both Chris Hogan and the since-departed Danny Amendola filled the role with grace. Amendola ran over […]

Nick Mariano's 2018 Late-Round Fliers (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. We’re intentionally sidestepping the term “sleeper" because I don’t want to get wrapped up in debates over these guys not being “under the radar” enough. I may still throw it into the SEO field, though...no regrets. Instead, let’s discuss some late-round fliers that are […]

Danny Amendola Working With First Unit

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola worked with the first unit alongside Devante Parker and Kenny Stills in the first training camp practice, which left Albert Wilson to mostly work with the second unit. It's a bid odd for Wilson after the team signed him to a three-year, $24 million deal in the offseason. However, […]

Is Patrick Mahomes Really Going to Air It Out?

The Kansas City Chiefs will turn to a new quarterback in 2018, with former Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes taking the reins in Arrowhead Stadium. Known during college for his strong arm and gunslinger mentality, he takes over a Chiefs offense that has one of the league's faster wide receivers, Tyreek Hill, and a newly-acquired […]

Kenyan Drake Opens With Starters Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake opened with the starters on Thursday, but both he and Frank Gore looked good. Drake and Gore will be 1 and 1A this year, with the order to be determined. Drake showed at the end of last year that he could be a featured back in the NFL, so […]

Lotto Time - Late Draft Picks that Could Pay Off

During the draft season, we love to get hyped up on young, up-and-coming players. Spinning yarns about future stardom and inflating their draft price to the point where many of these sleepers are no longer values.

Dolphins Not Worried About Frank Gore's Age

The Miami Dolphins still like veteran running back Frank Gore despite his age -- he turned 35 earlier this year. Gore is a tough guy and managed to play in 112 consecutive games. He has managed 12 straight seasons with at least 1,200 yards from scrimmage and has been an effective inside runner given his […]

As millions prepare for their respective fantasy football draft, know this - the key to your salvation may be the same thing you have been programmed to distrust, loathe and sometimes ignore its existence altogether.
