Ollie Gordon II Stuck in a Miminal Role

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II only had one carry in the Dolphins' Week 2 loss, and his snap share dropped from 25% in Week 1 to 12% in Week 2. To further complicate Gordon's future opportunities, Jaylen Wright (knee) is back to limited participation in practices, which could give him a chance to […]

After Big Bounce-back Performance, is Tyreek Hill Back?

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill turned the page after a disappointing Week 1 with a big Week 2. He only had four catches for 40 yards in the season-opening loss to the Colts, but against the Patriots, he posted 109 receiving yards by catching six of his seven targets. Tua Tagovailoa was more aggressive […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Is a Solid Start Monday Night

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn made all three of his field goal attempts in Week 1, including a pair of long chances from over 50 yards. He accounted for all the Texans' scoring in their 14-9 loss to the Rams as the offense sputtered. If the offense continues to struggle to score touchdowns, Fairbairn could […]

Texans D/ST a Borderline Start Against the Buccaneers Dismissing suggestion

The Houston Texans defense actually played fairly well in their Week 1 loss to the Rams, but the offense couldn't get a single touchdown as the team fell, 14-9. The defense forced two turnovers and had three sacks against Matthew Stafford, with Henry To'oTo'o, Will Anderson Jr., and Folorunso Fatukasi each recording a single sack. […]

Harrison Bryant Ready to Step into Expanded Role?

Houston Texans tight end Harrison Bryant didn't play a snap in Week 1 against the Rams since he was on the practice squad, but he's expected to be involved on Monday Night Football against the Buccaneers since Cade Stover (foot) was placed on Injured Reserve and is out indefinitely. Bryant will serve as the primary […]

Dalton Schultz Could Be Busy in Week 2

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has the potential for a big workload in Week 2, when his team hosts the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. Schultz tied for the team lead with five targets in Week 1, and his backup tight end, Cade Stover, had four more targets. C.J. Stroud's lack of reliable protection […]

Jayden Higgins Searching for Bigger Week 2 Role

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins did lead his team in receiving yards in Week 1, but the offense struggled so badly against the Rams that he still only had 32 yards on two catches. He'll look for better totals in Week 2 against the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in the early game of […]

Xavier Hutchinson Is an Intriguing Deep Sleeper

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson is once again lined up for an expanded role in Week 2, since Christian Kirk (hamstring) will miss a second straight game when the Texans host the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. Among the team's wide receivers, Hutchinson ranked second in snaps played and in receiving yards in Week […]

Nico Collins Set for a Big Bounceback?

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was limited to just three catches for 25 yards in his team's Week 1 loss to the Rams, but he will look to bounce back this week at home against the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. Collins only had five targets in Week 1, but he did still tie […]

Woody Marks Still Waiting for a Chance to Break Out

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks was part of the rotation in the team's backfield in Week 1, but the rookie played a very minimal role. He played just seven snaps (11%) against the Rams and took his three carries for three yards. The fourth-round pick showed some upside this training camp and preseason, but […]

Dameon Pierce Could Be Locked in a Limited Role

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce did get a little bit of playing time in Week 1, but he does not look to be a large part of the Texans' backfield rotation coming into their Week 2 matchup against the Buccaneers on Monday. Pierce played only seven snaps (11%) in Week 1 against the Rams, […]

Dare Ogunbowale Could Be Involved on Monday Night Football

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale played a larger role than expected in Week 1, and the 31-year-old veteran could be in the rotation again on Monday night, when the Texans host his former team, the Buccaneers. In Week 1, Ogunbowale played 27% of the team's offensive snaps, more than any other running back except. […]

Nick Chubb Lined Up for a Second Straight Start

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb will again lead the way for his team's backfield rotation in a tough matchup on Monday night against the Buccaneers' strong run defense. Chubb played 51% of the snaps in Week 1 and had 13 carries, while no other running back had more than three. He wasn't very effective […]

C.J. Stroud Looks to Help the Texans Bounce Back vs. the Buccaneers

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is hoping for a bounce-back season after a down year in 2024, but the new season didn't start well in the Texans' 14-9 loss to the Rams in Week 1. Stroud was limited to just 188 passing yards while completing 19-of-27 passes. He was under pressure from the Rams' strong […]

Jaylen Wright Injury Report: Will Wright Play in Week 2 for Fantasy Football?

The Miami Dolphins' offense was a major disappointment in Week 1, and they managed to score just eight points in their road loss to the Colts.

Malik Washington Remains the Dolphins' Third Receiver

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington flashed some intriguing upside throughout training camp and the preseason, but he and the rest of the team's offense stumbled in Indianapolis in Week 1 and will need to rebound in Week 2 against New England. Washington played 58% of the team's offensive snaps, behind only Tyreek Hill and […]

Tyreek Hill Looks to Get on Track vs. the Patriots in Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill and the whole team's offense will try to erase an ugly Week 1 defeat in Indianapolis in Week 2 when they host the Patriots. Hill led the team in targets and receiving yards while tying with Jaylen Waddle for the team lead in receptions. He finished with four catches […]

Riley Patterson Likely to be Elevated Again in Week 2

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson reverted to the practice squad after his Week 1 promotion, but he's expected to kick for the team again in Week 2 since Jason Sanders (hip) is still sidelined and on IR. Patterson was signed to the practice squad and promoted in Week 1, but the offense struggled badly in […]

Dolphins D/ST a Tough Play vs. the Patriots

The Miami Dolphins defense was torn up by quarterback Daniel Jones in Week 1, allowing 33 points to the Colts on the road. They'll come home in Week 2 to take on the Patriots and Drake Maye in a divisional matchup. In Week 1, the Patriots only managed 13 points against the Raiders, but Maye […]

Tanner Conner Set for Expanded Role in Week 2

Miami Dolphins tight end Tanner Conner will be in line for more playing time in Week 2 against the Patriots since Darren Waller (hip) will miss a second straight week. In Week 1, Conner split time evenly with Julian Hill, each playing 58% of snaps. Conner was much more involved as a receiver, though, drawing […]

Julian Hill Lined Up for a Big Role?

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill will be atop the depth chart for a second straight week with Darren Waller (hip) ruled out against the Patriots. In Week 1, the third-year tight end split snaps right down the middle with Tanner Conner, each playing 28 snaps in Waller's absence. While he did not get a […]

De'Von Achane Enters Week 2 As a Fringe RB1

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane was one of the few players on his team who made any fantasy contributions in a disastrous Week 1 loss to the Colts. Achane racked up 55 yards on just seven carries and added three catches for 20 yards and his team's only touchdown of the day. Achane was […]

Ollie Gordon II Remains a Deep Sleeper

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II apparently hit the snooze button in Week 1, since the sleeper dozed right through his NFL debut. Gordon is RotoBaller's RB54 for the Dolphins' Week 2 matchup against the Patriots after he only managed four yards on two carries and one catch for negative one yard in Week […]

Tua Tagovailoa Is a Shaky QB2 Against the Patriots

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be looking to bounce back after a brutal Week 1 when the Dolphins host the Patriots in Week 2. Coach Mike McDaniel and General Manager Chris Grier have come under fire after the team's brutal 33-8 loss in Indianapolis during Week 1, and change could be on the horizon […]

Dane Myers Will Begin Rehab Assignment Thursday

Miami Marlins outfielder Dane Myers (oblique) has been sidelined since August 30 with an oblique strain, but the 29-year-old righty is starting a rehab assignment in Triple-A this Thursday, so he should be on track to get back in the lineup before the end of the season.
