Week 5 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Isaiah Ford Quiet During Week 5

Mike Gesicki Bounces Back Against 49ers

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki came into this Week 5 matchup with two total receptions over the last two weeks. However, Gesicki was able to rebound against the San Francisco 49ers. He hauled in five of his six targets for 91 yards in the win. To be fair, most of his yardage was from […]

Preston Williams Goes Over 100 Yards

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams had his biggest game of the season against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5.

DeVante Parker Finds The End Zone In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker was fairly quiet during the Week 5 win over the San Francisco 49ers. He hauled in two of his three targets for 50 yards and one touchdown in the victory.

Matt Breida Gets Nine Carries Against 49ers

Ryan Fitzpatrick Torches 49ers Defense

The Dolphins continue to bring […]

Jordan Howard Is Surprise Inactive

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard is a surprise inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Howard's role this year has mostly been down near the end zone, so maybe the Dolphins just want to make some more space on the active roster for versatile players? If Howard is indeed healthy, this doesn't bode well […]
