BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~110 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~141
ANALYSIS: DeVante Parker gets a bad rap. His career has been quite tumultuous with injuries and underperformances but he finally showed life in 2019 with a high-end WR2 season, averaging 15.4 PPG and finishing as the WR11 overall! Parker displayed his upside in this season and then faceplanted as WR39 last season while the QB switcharoo came game-to-game and Miami's offense failed to hit any semblance of rhythm.
Now, heading into the 2021 season, the Dolphins have added competition to the WR room that has created even more Parker skeptics. They signed former first-round pick Will Fuller via free agency and drafted Alabama dynamo Jaylen Waddle sixth-overall.
While both WRs are undoubtedly talented, Will Fuller is not only suspended for Week 1, but he has sustained a foot injury in the preseason and has hardly practiced. Meanwhile, Jaylen Waddle fractured his ankle in October 2020 and may not be fully comfortable or explosive in 2021.
Parker is in his prime at age 28 with 231 targets in 30 games over the past two seasons. He has the build of a WR1 and a fantasy finish as one. While contested catches are his calling card, the presence of the speedsters Waddle and Fuller should open up the field like he's never seen.
