Danny Amendola A Poor Fantasy Option In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is a low-end fantasy option in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have allowed the ninth most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, however Amendola has been so un-involved in the offense that he offers little fantasy appeal. He has just 16 targets and 13 catches on […]

Frank Gore A Flex Option In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is a flex option in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Gore out-touched and out-gained fellow running back Kenyan Drake in Week 5, as well as playing on 51% of snaps compared to Drake's 45%. This is a neutral matchup, as the Bengals have allowed the 14th most fantasy […]

Albert Wilson A WR4 In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is a low-end fantasy option in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have allowed the ninth most fantasy points per game to wide receivers and the seventh most passing yards.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is a high-upside WR3 in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have allowed the ninth most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season and the seventh most passing yards. Stills will draw veteran cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, who has really struggled against top wide receivers this […]

Week 5 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Week after week it seems we're getting huge quarterback performances out of nowhere. It was Ryan Fitzpatrick and Patrick Mahomes stealing the show through the first few weeks, but this week a few different unlikely quarterbacks stepped up to the plate. Tampa Bay and Chicago are on bye for Week 5. Neither team has a […]

Alex Smith (QB, WAS) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith was dropped in some leagues heading into the bye week, meaning he’ll be out there in nearly half of Yahoo leagues for a Week 5 date with the Saints in New Orleans. New Orleans has generally been a favorable […]

Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Perhaps we collectively gave up on Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr too early. Going into this week he had the sixth most passing yards in the NFL. He did that against a tough schedule too, facing the Rams, Broncos, and Dolphins with a […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is healthy once again and came up big for Tennessee in their 26-23 win over Philadelphia in Week 4.

Blake Bortles (QB, JAC) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It’s been up-and-down for Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles during the first four weeks of the season. He had 14.3 points in Week 1, 33.5 in Week 2, 8.9 in Week 3, and 25.3 in Week 4. It looks like Bortles can handle […]

Mitch Trubisky (QB, CHI) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If we learned anything this week it’s that you can start everybody against Tampa Bay. Their secondary is constructed full of no-names, and the names most people might recognize are not for good reasons. Brent Grimes looks every bit his age at 35, […]

C.J. Beathard (QB, SF) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While ultimately outdueled by Philip Rivers, San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard played admirably in his season debut last week against the Chargers. He was 23-for-37 passing with 298 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions. It wasn’t a masterful performance by any means, […]

Brock Osweiler Tosses A Touchdown In Relief Appearance

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler entered the game in relief of Ryan Tannehill in Miami's 38-7 loss to New England in Week 4. Miami was losing by so much that Tannehill was pulled for Osweiler to avoid injury to Tannehill. Osweiler was 4-for-5 passing for 35 yards and a touchdown. There is not a quarterback […]

Albert Wilson Totals 21 Yards In Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson had 21 total yards in their Week 4 loss to New England. Miami was destroyed 38-7 and had nothing going on offense, totaling just 172 yards as a team. Wilson caught four passes for 19 yards and rushed once for two yards. He wasn't able to replicate his trickery […]

Danny Amendola Catches Two Passes In Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola caught two passes for 21 yards Sunday in their Week 4 loss to New England. Miami was blown out 38-7 in this one, and with atrocious quarterback play from Ryan Tannehill no receiver had great production for the Dolphins. Amendola seems like a safe bet to catch between 2-5 […]

Kenny Stills Hauls In Three Catches In Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills led the team in receiving in their 38-7 loss to New England in Week 4. Stills caught three passes on six targets for 40 yards. Not much went right for Miami in this one, and Stills was dragged down by awful quarterback play from Ryan Tannehill. Stills is a […]

Frank Gore Rushes For 41 Yards In Week 4

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was Miami's leading rusher in their 38-7 loss in Week 4 to New England. Gore ran for 41 yards on 11 carries and also caught two passes for 16 yards and a touchdown. Gore out-touched Kenyan Drake 13-4 and out-gained Drake 57-16. Game situation may have dictated Gore's usage, […]

Kenyan Drake Totals Only 16 Yards In Week 4

He was eventually pulled for Brock Osweiler after the game was out of hand. There isn't a quarterback controversy in Miami, but Tannehill really did […]

DeVante Parker A Poor Option In Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker is tumbling down the Dolphins depth chart.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is facing a soft matchup in Week 4 against the New England Patriots.

He took […]

Kenny Stills In WR2/3 Territory For Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is on the WR2/3 border in Week 4 against the Patriots. New England has allowed the tenth most fantasy points to wide receivers thus far and the Patriots at -6.5 point favorites, meaning Miami should be throwing often in this game. Stills is a boom-or-bust type of player, who […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex Option In Week 4

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is nothing more than a desperation flex in Week 4 against the Patriots. New England has allowed the second most rushing yards in the league, but Gore has been atrocious on the ground the last two weeks. Between Week 2 and Week 3 Gore had 15 carries for 37 […]

Ryan Tannehill A QB2 Option In Week 4

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is a middling option in Week 4 against the Patriots. New England has allowed the twelfth most passing yards in the NFL thus far, an average of 263 yards per game. New England's secondary was absolutely decimated in Week 2 by Blake Bortles of all quarterbacks, but otherwise look improved […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is coming off his worst week, he has performed much better than most expected this season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has a higher ownership  than one would expect since he wasn’t even the starter when the game began, however some leagues must have weird rules where you can add anyone at any time regardless of when they played.
