Kenny Stills A Low-End Option In Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is a low-end WR4 option in Week 14 against the Patriots.

It was Stills' first time catching more than two passes in a game since Week 4 and his […]

Frank Gore A Low-Ceiling Flex In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is a low-end flex option in Week 14 against New England. Gore is coming off a disappointing game last week against Buffalo, totaling just 31 yards. Gore also has not scored a rushing touchdown all season, which makes him unexciting in a matchup against New England. The Patriots have […]

Kenyan Drake A High-Risk RB3 In Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is a high-risk RB3 or flex in Week 14 against New England. Drake has scored in back-to-back games and is getting in the area of 10 touches per game. He can be dangerous in space, which makes every touch Drake gets of high value. The Patriots have performed well […]

Ryan Tannehill A Low-End Option In Week 14

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is a poor option this week against the New England Patriots. Tannehill is coming off a three-touchdown game, however he only threw for 137 yards. He and the Dolphins took advantage of great field position thanks to the anemic Buffalo Bills offense, but Miami won't have that luxury against the […]

Danny Amendola Questionable For Week 14

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against his old team, the Patriots. Amendola missed last week but should be able to return this Sunday after practicing on a limited basis all week. Amendola had seven catches for 72 yards on Nov. 11 against the Packers, but he's […]

Xavien Howard Ruled Out Against Patriots

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Patriots. Howard is week-to-week and could also sit out next week. His absence this weekend severely limits Miami's secondary and is good news for the outlook of Patriots receiver Josh Gordon.

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 14 Preview

Last week was all about those running backs who have done the most to boost their average draft position heading into 2019. What about those who have done the most to hurt themselves?

Xavien Howard Could Be Out Beyond Week 14

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) is not on crutches but remains week-to-week and is expected to be out in Week 14 against the Patriots and possibly longer. Head coach Adam Gase wouldn't discuss if Howard had surgery but said the cornerback watched practice on Thursday. Howard will almost certainly miss this Sunday against the […]

Danny Amendola Returns To Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Amendola sat out in Week 13 but appears to be on track to face his old team in Week 14 in the Patriots. The 33-year-old caught seven of 10 targets for 72 yards on Nov. 11 but will be hard-pressed […]

Xavien Howard Week-To-Week

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said that Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard (knee) is week-to-week with a knee injury. Howard is the team's top cornerback and has 35 tackles, seven interceptions and 12 passes defensed on the season. Losing him for Week 14 against the Patriots would be a big loss for Miami's secondary. […]
