Week 16 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

It's Championship week in most fantasy football leagues, and a rough week to be streaming quarterbacks at that. Most of the truly terrible defenses are taking on universally owned quarterbacks, which means slim pickings on waivers. Philip Rivers against the Ravens and Jared Goff against the Cardinals are the two highly-owned quarterbacks facing tough matchups […]

DeVante Parker Puts Up Zeros In Week 15

Miami Dolphins Devante Parker may as well not have shown up for work on Sunday. He caught zero passes on one target in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. Ryan Tannehill was sacked nine times in this game and only threw for 108 yards, so naturally Miami receivers struggled to produce. Parker hasn't been good […]

Kenny Stills Catches One Pass In Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills was practically invisible in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. He caught one pass on three targets for 17 yards. Ryan Tannehill was under pressure all game and didn't have time to wait for things to develop downfield, which hurts Stills' specifically based on his skill set. Stills is […]

Danny Amendola Hauls In Three Passes Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola led the team in receiving in Week 15 in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. That isn't saying much, however, as Amendola caught just three passes for 30 yards in this one. Ryan Tannehill was under pressure all day and had just 108 yards passing total. Amendola hasn't been […]

Kalen Ballage Explodes In Week 15

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage had the best game of his young career in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. Ballage took on a larger role after Frank Gore left with a foot sprain, and Ballage rushed for 123 yards on 12 carries, including a 75-yard touchdown run. Prior to this game Ballage had […]

Kenyan Drake Has Just Four Touches In Loss

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake took a backseat in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. Drake rushed once for six yards and caught three passes for 28 yards. Frank Gore suffered a foot sprain earlier in this game, but the Dolphins elected to use Kalen Ballage as their primary ball-carrier in Gore's absence. Ballage […]

Ryan Tannehill Has Lackluster Day In Blowout Loss

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill had a poor day in the Dolphins' 41-17 loss to Minnesota. Tannehill was 11-for-24 passing for 108 yards and with no touchdowns or interceptions. Tannehill was abused by Minnesota's pass rush; he was sacked nine times. Miami's banged up offensive line was no match for Minnesota's defense. Even at his […]

DeVante Parker A Desperation Play Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker is nothing more than a desperation play in a Week 15 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Parker caught just one pass on four targets last week, and has been maddeningly inconsistent all season. The Vikings have a tough secondary, having allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers […]

Danny Amendola Should Be Avoided In Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is in a rough spot in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have allowed the third-fewest points to opposing wide receivers, and Amendola has had exactly one catch on one target in each of his last two games. Amendola had a little PPR appeal earlier in the […]

Kenny Stills Facing Tough Defense In Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is facing tough competition in Miami's Week 15 tilt with the Minnesota Vikings. Led by shutdown corner Xavier Rhodes, the Vikings have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Stills is coming off his best game, an eight-catch, 135-yard performance in Week 14 against New […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex In Week 15

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore must take on a tough defense in Week 15, as the Dolphins face the Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota. The Vikings have allowed the eighth-fewest points per game to opposing running backs along with the seventh-fewest yards per carry. Gore has done well with his carries this year; his 4.7 […]

Kenyan Drake A Boom-Or-Bust Flex Week 15

Miami Dolphins running back will look to build off his heroics from last week in a Week 15 tilt with the Minnesota Vikings. Drake made his day last week on a 55-yard walk-off double-lateral. Obviously, that isn't something that can be relied on from week to week, which makes a Drake a high-risk flex against […]

Ryan Tannehill A Poor Option In Week 15

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is not a great option at quarterback in Week 15 against Minnesota. Tannehill has been dealing with an ankle injury all week, and while he's expected to play, he's facing a Minnesota defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Tannehill is already a low-end QB2 […]

Week 15 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

It's the semi-finals in most fantasy leagues, so most owners should have their quarterback locked in permanently. If that's not the case don't fear, there are still good streaming options available in plenty of leagues. There are a few tough matchups for highly-owned quarterbacks this week. Aaron Rodgers @ Chicago, Matt Ryan vs. ARI, Matt […]

Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is, in this writer’s opinion, better than his numbers have shown over the course of the season. He unfortunately suffers from a dearth of talent surrounding him on the Oakland offense, particularly on the offensive line. While his supporting cast […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is obviously contingent on Lamar Jackson’s status for next week, but if Jackson’s injury is more serious than initially believed than Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will fall into a dream matchup against Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers have allowed the third-most fantasy points […]

Jeff Driskel (QB, CIN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This one is purely matchup-based, as Cincinnati Bengals tight end Jeff Driskel hasn’t done much to prove himself since taking over for Andy Dalton in Week 12. He hasn’t been bad, but he’s been a low-ceiling game-manager type. His already low-ceiling is hurt with A.J. Green on the […]

Josh Allen (QB, BUF) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen meets the ownership threshold to be a deep-league option, he can be considered in leagues of all depth. Allen has been everything we’ve wanted Lamar Jackson to be since Allen returned from injury. In his three games […]

Danny Amendola Catches Only Target In Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola made an underwhelming return to the field in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Amendola caught one pass on one target for ten yards. He sat out Week 13 with a knee injury, and perhaps that injury affected his target share. However, the team only threw […]

DeVante Parker Catches One Pass In Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker was scarcely involved in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Parker caught one pass on four targets for 18 yards. His biggest impact came on the final play, where Parker received a lateral from Kenny Stills and then lateraled to Kenyan Drake, who scored the game […]

Brandon Bolden Scores Two Touchdowns In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Brandon Bolden got revenge on his former team in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Bolden rushed for 60 yards and scored two rushing touchdowns on his only two carries. He also caught one pass for zero yards. Bolden ripped off a 54-yarder and then took one in […]

Kenny Stills Has Monster Game In Week 14 Win

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills had his best game since Week 1 in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Stills caught eight passes for 137 yards and a touchdown, setting a season high in catches and yardage. Stills was also Miami's only player with more than one reception in this game. […]

Frank Gore Posts 116 Total Yards In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore had his second-highest yardage total of the season in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Gore rushed 12 times for 92 yards and caught one pass for 24 yards on the day. While he was out-shined by Kenyan Drake's miracle touchdown at the end of the […]

Ryan Tannehill Tosses Three Touchdowns In Week 14

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill had his second straight three-touchdown game in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Tannehill went 14-for-19 passing for 265 yards along with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Tannehill's third touchdown came on a wild 55-yard double-lateral as time expired, which isn't something to be relied on every […]

Kenyan Drake Scores Game-Winning Touchdown On Wild Play

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake played the hero in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. On the final play of the game Drake caught a lateral from Devante Parker and took it 52 yards to the end zone for the game-winning touchdown. Drake is officially credited with one reception for 55 […]

Danny Amendola Active For Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is active for Miami's Week 14 matchup with New England. Amendola missed last week with a knee injury, but during the week all signs pointed to him suiting up for this game. He is nothing more than a WR4/Flex in PPR leagues, however. Amendola has not been consistently productive […]

Kenny Stills A Low-End Option In Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is a low-end WR4 option in Week 14 against the Patriots. Stills had his first meaningful game in a while last week, catching four passes for 37 yards and a touchdown. It was Stills' first time catching more than two passes in a game since Week 4 and his […]

Frank Gore A Low-Ceiling Flex In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is a low-end flex option in Week 14 against New England. Gore is coming off a disappointing game last week against Buffalo, totaling just 31 yards. Gore also has not scored a rushing touchdown all season, which makes him unexciting in a matchup against New England. The Patriots have […]

Kenyan Drake A High-Risk RB3 In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is a high-risk RB3 or flex in Week 14 against New England. Drake has scored in back-to-back games and is getting in the area of 10 touches per game. He can be dangerous in space, which makes every touch Drake gets of high value. The Patriots have performed well […]

Ryan Tannehill A Low-End Option In Week 14

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is a poor option this week against the New England Patriots. Tannehill is coming off a three-touchdown game, however he only threw for 137 yards. He and the Dolphins took advantage of great field position thanks to the anemic Buffalo Bills offense, but Miami won't have that luxury against the […]
