Under-The-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 5

One month of the NFL regular season is in the books! I hope for your sake you have been using more booms than busts in your fantasy football lineups. The best news for fantasy players this week is that the lowly Miami Dolphins are on bye. If you have been using Josh Rosen, Kenyan Drake, […]

Air Arians' Offense Is Taking Off

Coming into the season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were expected to have one of the top offenses in the NFL. Through the first two weeks, they averaged just 15.5 points. Over the last two weeks though, they've turned things around to average 43 points following an explosive performance in L.A. Behind the Kansas City Chiefs […]

Drops Continue to Plague Kalen Ballage

The usage of Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage continued to drop in a 31-10 Week 4 loss to the Chargers, with Ballage only rushing the ball twice and finishing with seven yards. Ballage dropped his only target of the game on a likely 12-yard touchdown pass and was seemingly supplanted by Mark Walton as […]

Digging Deeper Into Quarterback Data - NFL NextGen Stats

I can't believe it. Months of waiting, painful empty weekends, and now a quarter of the NFL season is suddenly gone! But I'm not going to lie, I love the moment when the whistle blows to end the week on Monday nights. It is just the confirmation that we have another full round of data […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Some of you have been receiving outstanding results from the running backs that you selected during your draft process. Unfortunately, many of you have endured injuries, disappointing output, and inconsistent patterns of usage with your runners. If that applies to you, then those unwanted outcomes have diminished your enthusiasm for some of the backs that […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Let's talk about wide receivers! This week's waiver wire list has some strong names on it. This has been a really deep year for wide receivers, and Week 4 was no exception when it came to lightly-owned players putting up strong numbers. There was A.J. Brown getting two touchdowns. There was another strong Mohamed Sanu […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 5

There will not be a stampede of fantasy players searching for tight ends this week. The Week 5 bye teams will not really kill any fantasy owners at the tight end position, as Detroit’s injured / inconsistent rookie T.J. Hockenson and Miami’s underwhelming Mike Gesicki are the two starting tight ends off. That does not […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 5)

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 […]

Kenyan Drake Remains Mostly Irrelevant

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake did little in a 31-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, rushing nine times for 44 yards and no scores. He also caught 3-of-5 targets for 29 yards as the Miami offense actually moved the ball well in the first half, with Drake busting a 19-yard screen […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nobody wants to roster players from the Dolphins. Understandable to an extent, even in Devante Parker's case. Miami is on pace to complete a historically bad season. The Dolphins have scored two touchdowns in four games, accrued a league-worst 900 yards on […]

Dolphins Optimistic Albert Wilson Will Return After Bye

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is "optimistic" that wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf) will return in Week 6 against the Redskins after the team's bye week in Week 5. Wilson aggravated his calf in the season opener and hasn't played since. When he returns, he'll be in the slot with Devante Parker and rookie […]

Josh Rosen Uninspiring in Dolphins Loss

Starting for the second game in a row, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen completed 17 of 24 passes for 180 yards in a 31-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Rosen had a solid first half, including a 34-yard touchdown pass to Devante Parker, but the entire offense collapsed in the second half […]

Preston Williams Continues to Drop Opportunities

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams caught four of seven targets for 46 yards in a 31-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. While he again led the team in targets, Williams also had a key drop that would've given the Dolphins a first down deep in Chargers territory with the score tied […]

Devante Parker Hauls in Long Touchdown

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker scored the lone touchdown for the Fins on Sunday, with Miami moving to an imperfect 0-4 following a 30-10 loss to the visiting Los Angeles Chargers. Parker put Miami on the board on their first drive of the game, giving Miami a 7-3 lead after hauling in a 34-yard […]

Albert Wilson Inactive Against Chargers

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf) is inactive for the third straight game in Week 4 against the Chargers. Wilson aggravated his calf in the season opener and hasn't played since. Devante Parker, Preston Williams and Jakeem Grant should remain in three-receiver sets at home against the Bolts. Miami should be forced to throw […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target In Week 4

In Week 3, several of the wide receivers that were recommended in this column went off which helped to make up for a lesser showing in Week 2. The highlight of Week 2 was the three-touchdown performance from Mike Evans where he absolutely scorched the Giants secondary for 190 yards. Tyler Boyd had a modest performance […]

Preston Williams Could Quietly Become Relevant

Considering he's seen his targets go up in every game - including a team-high 12 in last week's 31-6 loss to the Cowboys - Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams may soon belong on your fantasy radar. The bad news is that Williams only reeled in four of those 12 targets for 68 yards and […]

Kenyan Drake Still A Poor Option in Miami Muck

With only 147 total yards and no touchdowns on the season, Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake has been a fantasy dud so far in 2019. There are a few things that his owners can take heart in though, such as his snap rate and touches increasing in each game. Unfortunately, those snaps and touches […]

Dolphins Defense a Desperate Play in Week 4

Simply put, there are zero good reasons to consider rostering the Miami Dolphins Defense in a Week 4 matchup against the San Diego Chargers. The obviously tanking Dolphins have allowed 133 points through their first three games and will face a Chargers team that may see the return of running back Melvin Gordon to an […]

Josh Rosen Looks to Improve in Second Start

Making his first start of the year, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen did little to impress in a 31-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. Rosen completed 18-of-39 passes for 200 yards but was also hurt by numerous drops, including what should have been a 15-yard touchdown reception by Preston Williams. While Rosen […]

Albert Wilson Questionable, Allen Hurns Out

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) is listed as questionable for Week 4 against the Chargers, while receiver Allen Hurns (concussion) has been ruled out. Wilson was limited in practice all week and has a good shot to return since going down with an injury in the season opener. If he's active, he'll […]
