The Cut List – Who to Drop for Week 17?

In years past, who to cut before your Championship Game really only came with one rule – don't drop someone your opponent can pick up and use against you. That was it, simple and easy. Thanks to Covid-19, the rules have changed and changed drastically. Fantasy managers were able to make it 14 weeks with […]

Jaylen Waddle On The Verge Of NFL History

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is up to 96 receptions on the season, which puts him just six catches away from breaking Anquan Boldin's NFL record for receptions by a rookie. The former Alabama star has caught at least eight passes in four consecutive games, which makes him the third rookie ever to do […]

Mike Gesicki Finishes With 22 Yards

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has been an inconsistent fantasy option lately. That trend continued versus the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Gesicki hauled in three of his four targets for 22 yards in the win. He finished second on the team in targets, but that doesn't mean too much considering the Dolphins […]

Jaylen Waddle Snags 10 Receptions

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle put together an epic performance against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. He hauled in 10 of his 12 targets for 92 yards and one touchdown in the Week 16 victory. Waddle saw nearly 50 percent of the target share considering quarterback Tua Tagovailoa only had 26 passing […]

Myles Gaskin Posts Dud Against Saints

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin has posted three straight disappointing outings, including the Week 16 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Gaskin rushed three times for 10 times, while hauling in one of his three targets for six yards in the victory. Both Duke Johnson and Phillip Lindsay each carried the ball 13 times […]

Phillip Lindsay Gets Back In Action

Miami Dolphins running back Phillip Lindsay made his first appearance on the field since Week 12. Sadly, he wasn't able to return with a bang during the Monday night matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Lindsay rushed 13 times for 36 yards in this Week 16 victory. The Dolphins used a three-back committee, which limited […]

Duke Johnson Remains Involved In Week 16

Miami Dolphins running back Duke Johnson was coming off a career game last week and failed to carry that momentum into this week. He rushed 13 times for 39 yards in the Week 16 victory over the New Orleans Saints. The Dolphins decided to use a three-back committee, so there wasn't a ton of value […]

Tua Tagovailoa Does Enough To Beat Saints

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wasn't exactly sharp during the Monday night matchup against the New Orleans Saints. However, he was able to get the job done against a team with 16 players on the COVID list and another 10 on injured reserve. Tagovailoa completed 19-of-26 passing attempts for 198 passing yards with one touchdown […]

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?

Salvon Ahmed A Healthy Scratch Monday Night

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed is a healthy scratch on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints to wrap up Week 16 action. Ahmed was activated from the COVID-19 list last week but didn't play any snaps. The Dolphins will be running with Myles Gaskin, Duke Johnson, Phillip Lindsay and Jordan Scarlett in their […]

Is Myles Gaskin The Dolphins Starting RB? Should Duke Johnson Be Started?

Week 16 is nearly over, but if your fantasy playoff matchup hinges on a performance in Monday night's game between the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints, you've come to the right place.

The wide receiver matchup article from Week 15 turned out to be pretty good. CeeDee Lamb (WR32) was the biggest disappointment, dropping a few passes while gaining just 50 yards on six catches, while Diontae Johnson (WR36) also came up small. Jaylen Waddle was ruled out, so the pivot was to DeVante Parker (WR13) who […]
