Injuries have decimated the ranks of the NFL through two weeks, taking down some of the best at each position. Big-name quarterbacks are dropping like flies while notable skill position players are taking turns riding the injury carousel. In deeper leagues, it's kill or be killed on the waiver wire this week. The following players […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 3)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 2% owned ANALYSIS:Most people will scoff or just outright bust a gut laughing at the simple mention of picking up any Miami Dolphin right now.

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

Week 2 solidified some waiver-wire adds as more than flashes in the pan, while other Week 1 studs followed that up with a flop. Whether you're coasting towards an easy 2-0 start, in the thick of it at 1-1 or up against it with an 0-2 team, you never stop improving. Stay tuned as injury updates […]

Minkah Fitzpatrick Likely To Be Traded Tuesday

The Miami Dolphins are likely to trade defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick by Tuesday, and the team is expected to receive a first-round pick in exchange for him. The Redskins, Cowboys, Chiefs, Steelers, Eagles and Seahawks are the teams in the mix to acquire Fitzpatrick and offers are being made. In full-on rebuilding mode, the Dolphins […]

Devante Parker Adds Nothing in Loss to Patriots

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker tied for the team lead with his seven targets in a 43-0 loss to the Patriots on Sunday, but the perennial breakout candidate was unable to haul in even a single catch. Some concessions can be made given that Parker drew primary coverage from shutdown corner Stephon Gilmore, but […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Remains Dolphins Starter

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick remains the team's starter heading into Week 3 against the Cowboys, according to head coach Brian Flores. There has been zero Fitzmagic in Miami in two games to begin the 2019 season, and the 36-year-old veteran was 11-for-21 for 89 yards and three interceptions, including two pick-sixes, in the 43-0 […]

Kenyan Drake, Kalen Ballage Officially In Timeshare

Miami Dolphins running backs Kenyan Drake and Kalen Ballage shared the tiny load equally on Sunday, in a 43-0 loss at home to the New England Patriots. Ballage started the game and played in the second series as well before giving way to Drake for Miami's final three drives of the half. The two backs […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Throws Two Touchdowns To Patriots

The mercy rule was finally invoked for Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick after he threw his second pick-six to put Miami down 37-0 to the visiting New England Patriots. The Dolphins offense was again completely impotent with Fitzpatrick under center, totaling only 28 yards in their first eight drives. And while their next two drives […]

Kenyan Drake On The Trade Block?

While there are reports spreading that the Miami Dolphins have had trade talks with other teams surrounding running back Kenyan Drake this week, the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero is reporting that the team has had zero conversations with other teams about trading him, according to a club source. It wouldn't be a surprise if the […]

Minkah Fitzpatrick Trade Could Come Soon

The Miami Dolphins could wind up trading defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick as early as next week, and the Dolphins are reportedly looking for a first-round pick in return. Miami isn't actively shopping him, but they are certainly open to discussing a trade for the former first-round selection. The interest around the league for Fitzpatrick is […]

Don't Expect Magic From Ryan Fitzpatrick

Coming off an uninspiring performance in Week 1, the future doesn't look much brighter for Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in a Week 2 home matchup with the New England Patriots. Fitzpatrick completed 14-for-29 passes for 185 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in his first start for the Dolphins but most of the damage […]

Kalen Ballage Is a Shaky Play In Week 2

Seeing he had a 113 average draft position in NFBC, more than a few people thought Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage would not only be a viable fantasy play in 2019, but that he might also be a threat to steal the starter's job from incumbent Kenyan Drake. But it was a committee approach […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for 9/15/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

Pass Rush vs QB Matchups to Watch - Week 2

Week 1 saw a lot of offenses struggle to start the season due to a lack of work together in the preseason. Defenses took advantage, and they were teeing off on quarterbacks. In Week 2, there are some matchups where quarterbacks are definitely going to get knocked around at least 10 times in the game. […]

Albert Wilson, Reshad Jones Ruled Out

The Miami Dolphins ruled out wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) and safety Reshad Jones (ankle) for Week 2 against the Patriots. Miami will go with Devante Parker, Allen Hurns, Jakeem Grant and rookie Preston Williams as their receivers at home against New England. It's really hard to make a case for starting any of […]

Dolphins Place Julie'n Davenport On Injured Reserve

The Miami Dolphins placed offensive tackle Julie'n Davenport (knee, leg) on Injured Reserve on Friday, but he's a candidate to return later this season. Davenport came over to Miami in the trade that sent Laremy Tunsil to the Texans, and he started at right tackle in the Week 1 blowout loss to the Ravens. It's […]

Albert Wilson, Reshad Jones Not Looking Good For Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) and safety Reshad Jones (ankle) are not practicing on Friday. Neither player has practiced all week, so it looks as though the Dolphins are preparing to be without them in Week 2 against the Patriots. With Wilson unlikely to suit up, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will be throwing […]

Minkah Fitzpatrick Given Permission To Seek Trade

The Miami Dolphins have given 2018 first-round pick Minkah Fitzpatrick permission to seek a trade, but they aren't actively shopping him. The Dolphins want a significant return if they are to deal him. Fitzpatrick has been unhappy with his role on defense for a while now and blames his worst game in the NFL in […]

Julie'n Davenport Could Go On IR

The Miami Dolphins are considering placing offensive tackle Julie'n Davenport (knee) on the Injured Reserve. However, there's still a chance that Davenport could come back this year if he goes on IR. It would just be more bad news for an offensive line that already traded their best talent, Laremy Tunsil, to the Texans. Miami's […]
