Xavien Howard Projected To Be Targeted in Week 1

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard projects to face heavy volume in his Week 1 road matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers threw the ball 711 times last season, second-most in the league. With Kellen Moore taking over as offensive coordinator, the Chargers could throw the ball even more, especially deep and toward the […]

Dolphins Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 1

The Miami Dolphins' defense should be avoided in all fantasy leagues as they take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1. Not only did Miami's already-mediocre unit lose some of its firepower following a meniscus injury to Jalen Ramsey, but the Chargers' offense is quite dominant with the likes of Justin Herbert, Austin Ekeler, […]

Jason Sanders A Fringe Fantasy Option In Week 1

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is a borderline top-12 fantasy kicker heading into Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Sanders was solid at times last season, but never enough to solidify himself as a stable fantasy option week in and week out. Heading into the 2023 campaign, Sanders' upside gets a boost thanks to […]

Durham Smythe Not On Fantasy Radar

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe is not a viable fantasy option heading into Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. While Smythe is listed first on the depth chart following Mike Gesicki's offseason departure, the 28-year-old needs to show a steady flow of production in the passing game before he can even be considered […]

Jaylen Waddle Opens 2023 With Impressive Upside

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (oblique) is a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite being second on the depth chart behind Tyreek Hill, Waddle has shown time and time again that he can carve out his own role in the offense. Even while catching […]

Tyreek Hill Opens Season As High-End WR1

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is a must-start option heading into Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 29-year-old is coming off a huge season in which he tallied 1,710 yards and finished as the overall WR2 despite Tua Tagovailoa missing significant time due to head injuries. Likely lining up against Asante Samuel […]

De'Von Achane Should Be Avoided In Week 1

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) should be left on the bench in most fantasy leagues as he gears up for his NFL debut versus the Los Angeles Chargers. While Achane has earned significant hype and is a glaring dynasty "buy," there's less optimism about his immediate value and production. Miami is expected to […]

Raheem Mostert Can Be Started In A Pinch

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert is listed atop the depth chart heading into Week 1 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. However, given Miami's focus on passing the ball as well as the presence of up-and-coming rookie De'Von Achane, Mostert is certainly not a must-start in fantasy football. Rather, fantasy managers should only start him […]

Tua Tagovailoa Has Top-12 Upside Thanks To Receivers, Matchup

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa should be a top-12 fantasy option in Week 1. He's taking on a Los Angeles Chargers secondary that produced a 74.6 PFF grade last season and ranks 14th in the NFL (per PFF) heading into 2023. The unit isn't bad, but it's certainly not strong enough to consider sitting Tagovailoa […]

Jaylen Waddle Practices In Full Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (oblique) practiced in full on Thursday. The wideout logged a limited session on Wednesday, so fantasy managers are certainly more than pleased with the update. Assuming things continue to trend in a favorable direction, Waddle should be good to go on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. If that's […]

2023 NFL RB Power Rankings: All 32 Starting Running Backs

Is Breece Hall Playing In Week 1? Should I Start Hall In Fantasy Football?

New York Jets running back Breece Hall appears to be ready to go for Week 1 and, according to coach Robert Saleh, will not be on a predetermined snap count. It sounds like everything that Hall fantasy managers ever wanted, coming off of an ACL tear in October. But it's not as rosy as it […]

Is De'Von Achane Playing In Week 1? Should I Start Achane For Fantasy Football?

What a rollercoaster offseason it has been for Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane and fantasy football enthusiasts. He was drafted by Miami, a good offense that did not already have an established star running back on the roster, and impressed in OTAs. Then, the third-round pick suffered an undisclosed injury that cost him a […]
