Danny Amendola Should Be Avoided In Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is in a rough spot in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have allowed the third-fewest points to opposing wide receivers, and Amendola has had exactly one catch on one target in each of his last two games. Amendola had a little PPR appeal earlier in the […]

Kenny Stills Facing Tough Defense In Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is facing tough competition in Miami's Week 15 tilt with the Minnesota Vikings. Led by shutdown corner Xavier Rhodes, the Vikings have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Stills is coming off his best game, an eight-catch, 135-yard performance in Week 14 against New […]

Frank Gore A Low-End Flex In Week 15

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore must take on a tough defense in Week 15, as the Dolphins face the Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota. The Vikings have allowed the eighth-fewest points per game to opposing running backs along with the seventh-fewest yards per carry. Gore has done well with his carries this year; his 4.7 […]

Kenyan Drake A Boom-Or-Bust Flex Week 15

Miami Dolphins running back will look to build off his heroics from last week in a Week 15 tilt with the Minnesota Vikings. Drake made his day last week on a 55-yard walk-off double-lateral. Obviously, that isn't something that can be relied on from week to week, which makes a Drake a high-risk flex against […]

Ryan Tannehill A Poor Option In Week 15

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is not a great option at quarterback in Week 15 against Minnesota. Tannehill has been dealing with an ankle injury all week, and while he's expected to play, he's facing a Minnesota defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Tannehill is already a low-end QB2 […]

Week 15 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

A weird week this week with two Saturday games. If you are reading this on Saturday then make sure you have those lineups set. Thursday Night Football was incredible but for DFS purposes it has taken away a lot of talent. For season long leagues you may already have a good shot of making your […]

Crucial Pivots for Fantasy Football Week 15

Us fantasy folks have a mantra that gets repeated ad nauseam throughout the season. "Start your studs" is the standard cliché you hear when it comes to making obvious lineup decisions. No one should be starting the likes of Derek Carr over Aaron Rodgers just because Carr has an easy matchup...or should they? That's what […]

Congratulations to those of you whose diligence through the draft process and the regular season has been rewarded with an opportunity to participate in the fantasy playoffs.

Trusting Derrick Henry (or Not) in Fantasy Playoffs

Few things give me true pleasure in watching the game of football like watching a running back rip off a long run. Derrick Henry did just that in Week 14, running for 99 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He didn't stop there, posting a memorable 238 yards and four touchdowns on the day. That's the stuff of […]

Ryan Tannehill Expected To Face Vikings

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is expected to start in Week 15 against the Vikings "unless something crazy happens." He left the game briefly in the miracle Week 14 win over the Patriots and will be limited in practice this week. Head coach Adam Gase said that Tannehill looked "good" in practice and moved […]

Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

If at least one of your fantasy teams is still in contention for a championship, congratulations.

[…]

Week 15 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Hopefully you survived Week 14 of the football season, a week that was littered with the unexpected. Owners were still battling injuries, including unexpected ones like Odell Beckham Jr and when we ran to look for help, a majority of the players we leaned on where underwhelming at best. So, if your fantasy season is […]

Week 15 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

It's the semi-finals in most fantasy leagues, so most owners should have their quarterback locked in permanently. If that's not the case don't fear, there are still good streaming options available in plenty of leagues. There are a few tough matchups for highly-owned quarterbacks this week. Aaron Rodgers @ Chicago, Matt Ryan vs. ARI, Matt […]

Frank Gore (RB, MIA) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The majority of owners have not been enamored with the idea of adding Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore throughout the season, and the importance of this week’s fantasy postseason matchups might increase any apprehension. However, if you can avoid an extreme focus on […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team  Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Miami Miracle overshadowed everything else that happened in the stunning victory over the Patriots in Week 14. Before that last-second upset, quarterback Ryan Tannehill had himself a fine day, throwing for 265 yards and three TD. That ranks him better than Aaron Rodgers or Jameis Winston for […]

Ryan Tannehill Sore After Week 14 Ankle Injury

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said that quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is "sore" but "he's walking around" after leaving the Week 14 game against the Patriots with an ankle injury. Tannehill may miss some practice time this week, but ultimately we'd expect him to play in Week 15 against the Vikings on the road. […]

Danny Amendola Catches Only Target In Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola made an underwhelming return to the field in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Amendola caught one pass on one target for ten yards. He sat out Week 13 with a knee injury, and perhaps that injury affected his target share. However, the team only threw […]

DeVante Parker Catches One Pass In Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker was scarcely involved in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Parker caught one pass on four targets for 18 yards. His biggest impact came on the final play, where Parker received a lateral from Kenny Stills and then lateraled to Kenyan Drake, who scored the game […]

Brandon Bolden Scores Two Touchdowns In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Brandon Bolden got revenge on his former team in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14.

Kenny Stills Has Monster Game In Week 14 Win

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills had his best game since Week 1 in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Stills caught eight passes for 137 yards and a touchdown, setting a season high in catches and yardage. Stills was also Miami's only player with more than one reception in this game. […]

Frank Gore Posts 116 Total Yards In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore had his second-highest yardage total of the season in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Gore rushed 12 times for 92 yards and caught one pass for 24 yards on the day. While he was out-shined by Kenyan Drake's miracle touchdown at the end of the […]

Ryan Tannehill Tosses Three Touchdowns In Week 14

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill had his second straight three-touchdown game in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Tannehill went 14-for-19 passing for 265 yards along with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Tannehill's third touchdown came on a wild 55-yard double-lateral as time expired, which isn't something to be relied on every […]

Kenyan Drake Scores Game-Winning Touchdown On Wild Play

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake played the hero in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. On the final play of the game Drake caught a lateral from Devante Parker and took it 52 yards to the end zone for the game-winning touchdown. Drake is officially credited with one reception for 55 […]

Xavien Howard Has Surgery

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (knee), who is out for Week 14 against the Patriots, recently had arthroscopic surgery to trim his meniscus injury, according to sources. It's a minor procedure, so he hasn't been ruled out yet for Week 15 against the Vikings. His absence against the Patriots is notable, though, and it's good […]

Danny Amendola Active For Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is active for Miami's Week 14 matchup with New England. Amendola missed last week with a knee injury, but during the week all signs pointed to him suiting up for this game. He is nothing more than a WR4/Flex in PPR leagues, however. Amendola has not been consistently productive […]
