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 […]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Devante Parker Provides Much of Dolphins Offense

There was optimism that Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker would become more of a focal point in the offense with the trade of Kenny Stills but that wasn't the case at the beginning of a 59-10 blowout loss to the Ravens in Week 1. Parker wasn't targeted for the first time until the beginning […]
