Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 9: Justin Fields, Andy Dalton, Jared Goff, P.J. Walker

It may have taken us eight weeks, but fantasy managers got some explosive production out of the quarterback position. Six quarterbacks (Tua Tagovailoa, Zach Wilson, Kyler Murray, Tom Brady, Jared Goff, and P.J. Walker) finished with over 300-passing yards. Four quarterbacks had three or more passing touchdowns (led by Jalen Hurts' four). Week 9 will […]

Mike Gesicki (TE, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 60% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Tyreek Hill taking safeties 50 yards down the field and Jaylen Waddle keeping corners occupied on the other side of the field, the middle is opening more for Gesicki in front of and behind the linebackers. After a sluggish start that […]

Top 10 Running Back Studs - Best Fantasy Football RB Performances from Week 8

Week 8 delivered by far some of the best running back performances of the year. Five RBs went over 30.0 fantasy points in half-PPR formats and Alvin Kamara found the end zone three times, but it was actually the first time he had done so all season. The Chiefs and Chargers were on a Bye […]

Dolphins Defense Underwhelms In Shootout

The Miami Dolphins' defense underwhelmed during Sunday's shootout win versus the Detroit Lions. Although Jared Goff turned the football over four times last week, he looked better this Sunday, tossing one touchdown and zero interceptions. This Miami unit, which logged just one sack courtesy of Zach Sieler, is no longer fantasy relevant heading into Week […]

Jason Sanders Successful In Win Over Lions

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders went 4-for-4 on extra points during Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions. He also converted his lone field-goal attempt, connecting from 45 yards out. Although Sanders struggled earlier this season, he finds himself back on the fantasy radar after kicking quite reliably and accurately. His role in the Dolphins' high-scoring […]

Trent Sherfield Gets Involved During Sunday's Win

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Trent Sherfield hauled in two of three targets for 25 yards against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. His role in Miami's offense has progressively increased, and it's safe to say that he has surpassed Cedrick Wilson Jr. as the team's No. 3 receiver. He has some DFS and betting appeal […]

Mike Gesicki Catches Another Touchdown Pass

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki hauled in three of four targets for 38 yards and one touchdown against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. He has 18 catches, 144 yards, and three touchdowns over the course of his last three games, vaulting him into the mid-range TE2 tier ahead of next week's clash versus […]

Jaylen Waddle Racks Up 106 Yards, Two Touchdowns

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle hauled in eight of nine targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's big win over the Detroit Lions. The second-year wideout has looked quite flashy in a surging offense that also features star receiver Tyreek Hill. Together, Hill and Waddle form an otherworldly one-two punch that gives […]

Tyreek Hill Explodes For 12 Catches And 188 Yards

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill hauled in 12 of 14 targets for 188 yards against the Detroit Lions during Sunday's back-and-forth blowout. The star wideout continues to look like one of the flashiest players in football and should be started in every league on a weekly basis. Fantasy managers should continue to view Hill […]

Chase Edmonds Logs Just Four Touches Sunday

Miami Dolphins running back Chase Edmonds rushed four times for 14 yards against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. He was not involved in the passing game. Edmonds' role has steadily declined throughout the season, and he should now be dropped in most fantasy leagues. If Miami trades for a running back in the next […]

Raheem Mostert Held In Check Versus Lions

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert rushed 14 times for just 64 yards against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. He also turned his lone target into a three-yard reception. Mostert has taken over as Miami's clear lead back, but his volume is still somewhat inconsistent due to the team's pass-heavy nature. He should remain […]

Tua Tagovailoa Drops 382 Yards In Big Win Over Lions

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 29 of 36 passes for 382 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions against the Detroit Lions in Week 8. He added 19 rushing yards along the way. Tagovailoa looked fantastic, completing passes to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle while leading numerous scoring drives. Fantasy managers should continue to view […]

Myles Gaskin A Healthy Scratch Once Again

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. The 25-year-old has logged offensive snaps in just one game this season (back in Week 5) and has absolutely no fantasy relevance. He should be left on waivers in all leagues, including dynasty formats.

Xavien Howard Suiting Up Sunday

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (groin) is active for Week 8 against the Detroit Lions. He had been listed as questionable after closing out the week with limited participation in practice. The 29-year-old has registered 20 tackles through six games and figures to be the centerpiece of Miami's secondary once again Sunday.
