The Cut List – Who to Drop for Week 16?

I can't recall a week – much less a playoff one – with as much craziness and randomness that Week 15 brought us and I for one am glad that it's over. For anyone who was able to advance in their playoff game despite all that's happened, a big kudos to you. To all of […]

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?

Week 15 was a very frustrating week to start your fantasy football playoffs, especially at the quarterback position. Of the top-12 QB's on the week, six of them are owened in 33%-or-less of Yahoo leagues, including Tyler Huntley (4%), Cam Newton (22%), Jared Goff (7%), Mac Jones (33%), Justin Fields (26%) and Davis Mills (3%). […]

Is Darrell Henderson Jr. Playing Tonight? Should I Start Sony Michel?

Week 15 has arrived, and with that comes all sorts of injuries to deal with on top of plenty of COVID chaos, all of which has made setting fantasy football lineups really tricky. This is the first week of the playoffs for most fantasy football leagues, so it's crunch time, and making the correct start/sit […]

Dolphins To Continue With RB Competition

Miami Dolphins co-offensive coordinator Eric Studesville said the team wants to continue with competition in the running back room. "All those guys are going to play and participate in the game plan," Studesville said. Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed returned from the COVID list for Week 15 against the New York Jets, but Duke Johnson […]

Will Fuller Has Another Setback

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (finger) suffered another setback, according to head coach Brian Flores. Fuller has been out since Week 5 with a fractured finger, and he's now likely to miss the final three games of the season. The 27-year-old started off the year on the wrong foot while finishing up a suspension, […]

Jaylen Waddle, Phillip Lindsay Activated From COVID-19 List

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and running back Phillip Lindsay were activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Waddle and Lindsay were sidelined for the Week 15 win over the New York Jets, but they'll be back in the fold for a Monday night meeting with the New Orleans Saints to close out Week […]

Duke Johnson Signed To Active Roster

Miami Dolphins running back Duke Johnson signed a contract to join the team's active roster on Monday, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. Johnson rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns in Miami's win over the New York Jets in Week 15 after spending most of the season on Miami's practice squad. The decision to […]

Mike Gesicki Disappointing Versus Jets

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki was expected to have a big game with wide receiver Jaylen Waddle sidelined due to protocols. However, the big tight end wasn't able to make much of an impact in Week 15. He hauled in five of his eight targets for 43 yards in the win over the New […]

Isaiah Ford Surprises In Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Isaiah Ford has barely been involved this season, but he made an impact in Week 15. Coming into this game, Ford had eight receptions on 12 targets, but he added to that total on Sunday. He hauled in all three of his targets for 51 yards in the win over the […]

DeVante Parker Grabs Touchdown In Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker was expected to have a bigger role with Jaylen Waddle sidelined in Week 15 due to protocols. Parker has been solid when he plays this season and that trend continued on Sunday. He hauled in four of his eight targets for 68 yards and one touchdown in the win […]

Myles Gaskin Has Lackluster Outing

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin was uncertain for this Week 15 matchup due to the fact he was in the league's COVID-19 protocols earlier in the week. Gaskin ended up suiting up, but he was disappointing on Sunday. He rushed 10 times for 54 yards in the win over the New York Jets. He […]

Duke Johnson Has An Outstanding Performance

Miami Dolphins running back Duke Johnson came out of nowhere and posted a fantastic outing in Week 15. This might've been one of the oddest breakout performances of the season. Johnson rushed 22 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the New York Jets. Lead back Myles Gaskin did return in […]

Tua Tagovailoa Shaky In Win Over Jets

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa looked shaky all day long versus the New York Jets in Week 15. He completed 16-of-27 passing attempts for 196 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in the win. The Dolphins were without Jaylen Waddle due to protocols and it hurt them badly. Tagovailoa looked lost out there for […]

Adam Shaheen Inactive For Week 15

Miami Dolphins tight end Adam Shaheen (knee) is officially inactive for Week 15 against the New York Jets after coming into the game listed as questionable. With Mike Gesicki ahead of him on the tight end depth chart in Miami, Shaheen hasn't been relevant at all in fantasy. He's caught just 12 passes all year […]

Jaylen Waddle Out Against The Jets

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and isn't active on Sunday against the Jets. The 23-year-old has played well all year, even more so over the last two games by pulling in 18 of his 21 targets for 227 yards and a touchdown. Unquestionably, this isn't promising news for […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 15

The wide receiver matchups article from Week 14 did not play out very well other than Ja'Marr Chase (WR4) who exploded for two touchdowns. Many of the high-end receivers underwhelmed in great spots. CeeDee Lamb (WR35) was targeted 10 times, but Dak Prescott narrowly missed him on a few balls which would have changed Lamb's […]
