Albert Wilson A Low-End WR3 In Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is facing a decent matchup in Week 3 against the Raiders. In Week 2 Wilson led the Dolphins in receiving yards (37) and targets (5) last week, though they only threw the ball 23 times. Wilson outperformed Danny Amendola, his main competitor for targets from the slot position, though […]

Danny Amendola A WR4 In Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is a low-end flex option in Week 3. Amendola hauled in four catches for only 32 yards in Week 2, and like always is best used in PPR leagues. Amendola has had four catches through the first two weeks but for only 58 yards and no touchdowns. The ceiling […]

Kenny Stills A WR2 In Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills will be the Dolphins No. 1 receiver in Week 3 against the Raiders. Stills was disappointing in Week 2 with only two catches for 17 yards, but that is the nature of a deep threat receiver like Stills. He is known to be boom-or-bust in any given week. The Raiders […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex Option In Week 3

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore will split carries with Kenyan Drake in Week 3. He got nine carries last week, but only produced 25 yards on the ground. Gore has gotten exactly nine carries in the first two weeks of the season, so his market share on offense should be somewhere in the 7-10 […]

Kenyan Drake Facing A Soft Rush Defense In Week 3

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is in a great spot in Week 3 against the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders have been shredded for the third most yards rushing and highest yards per carry allowed in the NFL. Oakland has felt the loss of Khalil Mack on defense, as well as the loss of Denico […]

Ryan Tannehill Has Good Matchup In Week 3

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is facing a favorable matchup in Week 3 against the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders allowed the seventh most passing yards in the NFL last season and will be without cornerback Daryl Worley (suspension) and possibly cornerback Nick Nelson (hamstring) as well. Oakland has performed better thus far in 2018, but […]

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 […]

Are You For Real? Surprising SP Starts (Week 25)

Welcome to our surprising starts series. Every week we’ll be going over a few surprising starting pitcher performances around the majors to determine whether these starts were smoke and mirrors or something more. We are beginning to see good production from somewhat unknown and unheralded pitchers due to September callups. The pitchers that were covered […]

Jameis Winston (QB, TB) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is of course still suspended next week and as previously stated his job may be in jeopardy, but in two-QB leagues or deep leagues where waivers are thin for quarterbacks Winston isn’t a bad stash. For his […]

Sam Darnold (QB, NYJ) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold didn’t have a great fantasy performance and made his share of mistakes in this game, but he has shown promise in the first two weeks of the season. His 334 yards were a product of volume since […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, TB) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has entered full-on Fitz-Magic mode, shredding the defending Super Bowl champions in Week 2 for 402 yards and four touchdowns. Miraculous hot streaks are practically an annual occurrence for Fitzpatrick, and while it’s foolish to expect this […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/16/18): MLB DFS Lineups

It's Week 2 in the NFL, but who needs football with a juicy 11-game featured slate on DraftKings today? Two games, CWS @ BAL and TOR @ NYY are tied for the highest expected total with a 9.5 O/U each. Those two games are prime for stacking, but keep an eye on DET @ CLE, […]

Albert Wilson An Unexciting Option In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is a low-end option in Week 2 against the Jets. He has an unclear role in the offense and caught just three passes for 31 yards on four targets in Week 1 against the Titans. The Jets do have a weak pass defense. The Jets were number 22 in […]

Danny Amendola A Poor Flex Option Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola has a suspect role in the team's offense based on his tepid Week 1 performance. Amendola caught four passes for 26 yards against the Titans in Week 1. On the bright side for Amendola the Jets are a weak pass defense. The Jets were number 22 in pass defense […]

Kenny Stills Has Favorable Matchup In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is facing a favorable matchup Sunday against the New York Jets. The Jets were number 22 in pass defense DVOA last season and gave up the ninth most points to wide receivers in 2017. Stills is coming off a 106-yard, two touchdown week in Week 1 and is the […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex Option In Week 2

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore will work in a split with Kenyan Drake in Week 2 against the Jets. The Jets are a tough run defense and they ranked number 11 in rush defense DVOA last season. They also allowed just 39 yards on the ground in Week 1. Gore rushed for 61 yards […]

Kenyan Drake A Borderline RB2 in Week 2

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is facing uncertainty in the amount of touches he will receive in Week 2. He got 17 touches last week (14 carries, three catches) but only tallied 66 total yards and was outperformed on the ground by Frank Gore. Drake is the younger and more versatile back, but the […]

Ryan Tannehill Facing Good Matchup In Week 2

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill has a favorable matchup in Week 2 against the New York Jets. The Jets ranked number 22 in pass defense DVOA last season and allowed the fourth most points to quarterbacks in 2017. They did shut down Matt Stafford last week, but that game looked more about Stafford and the […]

DeVante Parker Practices Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) practiced with the team Wednesday. He caught passes and ran routes for the first time since Parker originally suffered the broken finger. Reporters were only allowed to see half of the practice, so it is unclear how much Parker actually did. He was using his right hand without […]
