Mike Gesicki - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has found new life with backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett under center. Over his last two games, Gesicki has 15 receptions and he caught his first touchdown of the season last week. This type of success should continue against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. A defense that has […]

Albert Wilson - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson could see a boost in targets with Will Fuller (finger) sidelined for the Week 5 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Through four games, Wilson has five receptions for 31 yards. To be fair, he has been the fourth option and not usually involved in the gameplan. The Dolphins […]

Jaylen Waddle - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has seen an inconsistent volume of targets this season. In Week 3, Waddle was targeted 13 times, but that number dropped to four a week later. However, he is expected to see plenty of targets during the Week 5 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A defense that has […]

Myles Gaskin - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin won't have an easy assignment against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. Gaskin is expected to have trouble moving the ball against this defense that ranks fourth in rush DVOA this season. Last week, Gaskin saw two carries on the ground, so hopefully he gets more involved in […]

Jacoby Brissett - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett has yet to surpass 215 passing yards in a single game this season. Although, his best chance of doing that comes against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. A defense that is currently allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. Sadly, Brissett has struggled to move the ball down […]

Raekwon Davis Returns For Sunday’s Contest

Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Raekwon Davis (knee) has been activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers and is set to return to the field. Davis logged just five snaps in the season opener before sustaining a knee injury that has sidelined him since. The team's second-round choice in the 2020 NFL […]

Week 5 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Fantasy managers saw seven kickers who failed to even score five points and another seven kickers who managed to score in the double-digits.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 5) - Targets and Avoids

You can't get a third down stop or fourth down stop without seeing some yellow laundry. It's an epidemic. I wrote about this last week and usually don't like to have the same lead two weeks in a row, but it's out of control. The referees don't stop calling holding and pass interference penalties. When […]
