Frank Gore (RB, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though potential owners have consistently demonstrated a thorough lack of enthusiasm for including Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore on their rosters, his outstanding Week 6 performance should eviscerate any lingering concerns. The 35-year old continued to defy pre-season expectations in Week 6 […]
Nick O'Leary Catches Touchdown In Week 6
Miami Dolphins tight end Nick O'Leary was involved in his second career game as a Dolphin. He caught four passes on four targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Miami's 31-28 overtime win over Chicago. O'Leary was recently promoted from the practice squad, mainly to be a blocker. His offensive contributions are surprising and […]
Kenny Stills Catches One Pass In Week 6
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills was relatively uninvolved in Miami's 31-28 overtime win over Chicago in Week 6. He caught one pass for 35 yards on two targets. Stills also caught a two-point conversion. He took a backseat to Albert Wilson in this one, and since fill-in quarterback Brock Osweiler rarely throws downfield Stills […]
Danny Amendola Hauls In Eight Catches In Week 6
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola had his best game of the season in Miami's 31-28 overtime win over Chicago. Amendola caught eight passes for 59 yards on eleven targets. Those were all season highs for Amendola, who hadn't caught more than four passes or gained more than 42 yards in any previous game. Fill-in […]
Albert Wilson Explodes For 155 Yards And Two Touchdowns
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson had a huge day in Miami's 31-28 overtime win over Chicago in Week 6. He caught six passes on nine targets for 155 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed once for -5 yards. Wilson was deadly with the ball in his hands, breaking tackles and juking defenders for […]
Kenyan Drake Coughs Up Huge Fumble In Week 6
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake had a rough day in Week 6, though his team came away with a 31-28 overtime victory over Chicago. Drake rushed 13 times for 57 yards and caught four passes for 21 yards. He also fumbled on third-and-goal from the one yard line in overtime. Lucky for him his […]
Frank Gore Rushes for 101 Yards In Week 6
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore came up big for his team on the ground in their 31-28 overtime victory over Chicago in Week 6. Gore rushed for 101 yards on 15 carries and also caught one pass for 18 yards. Gore broke off a huge 32-yard run in overtime to get his team in […]
Brock Osweiler Throws For Three Touchdowns In Week 6 Victory
Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler made a spot start for the Dolphins in Week 6 and led them to a 31-28 overtime victory over Chicago. He went 28-for-44 passing with 380 yards along with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Osweiler got some help from Albert Wilson, who had 155 yards receiving, much of which came […]

Cameron Wake Undergoes Surgery On Knee
Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) had arthroscopic surgery on his knee, according to a league source. While this type of surgery usually keeps players out for around four weeks, Wake is a quick healer and could be in line to return in Week 7 against the Lions. The All-Pro has just one sack […]
DeVante Parker, Jakeem Grant Will Play Sunday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) and Jakeem Grant (shoulder) are both active in Week 6 against the Bears. Parker has played in just one game so far this year and didn't do much. He continues to be a bust for the Dolphins and fantasy owners and can't seriously be considered in any starting […]
A.J. Derby, Kalen Ballage, Cameron Wake Inactive
Miami Dolphins tight end A.J. Derby (foot), running back Kalen Ballage and defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) are inactive for Week 6 against the Bears. With Derby still sidelined, rookie tight end Mike Gesicki should continue to have a near every-down role on Sunday, but he remains a touchdown-dependent TE2. Ballage has fallen behind Senorise […]
Ryan Tannehill Ruled Out Against Bears
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Bears. Backup Brock Osweiler will start in his place against a fierce Chicago defense that is well-rested coming off their bye week. Osweiler is at best a low-end QB2, and all of Miami's offensive weapons around him should be downgraded […]

Howdy, y'all, and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings under the microscope and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR).

Week 6 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football
It's Week 6 in the NFL and the Cleveland Browns have now won two games! Everything we once knew has been radically changed...except that the Browns won partially because Joe Flacco couldn't beat them, and Joe Flacco failing to beat a team isn't a new development. The more things change, the more nothing changes! Anyway, […]

Week 6 Consistency Reports - All Positions
We now have over a quarter of a seasons worth of data at our fingertips and the cream has well and truly risen to the top. There are still some interesting names high in the rankings at quarterback and tight end. However, these are generally more variable positions. That is why both positions are often […]
Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks
Just like there is no such thing as an announcer jinx, the same goes for writers or analysts. To call Jay Ajayi a fantasy bust and "Zero" last week, only to see him suffer another devastating injury by tearing his ACL, isn't my fault. It doesn't feel good to see it either, especially since I […]
Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - Week 6 Lineup
In an effort to expand my horizons, I've gotten involved with a bit of a... strange club at work. It came up organically, one co-worker to another, over a quick in-office chat. How familiar was I with card games? Oh yeah, I knew where this was going. "Pretty good," I said, "and even when I'm […]
RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 6 Preview
It’s frustrating. I don’t claim to be smarter than NFL executives or general managers. While that would be a dream job, I’m content right here at my computer giving my opinion. With that being said, I would love to be in the coach’s room while they try to justify leaving running backs on the bench […]

Albert Wilson A Low-End Flex
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is a low-end flex play in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Wilson has averaged just over three catches per game so far this season but has seen an increase in targets over the last two weeks. If wide receiver Devante Parker is unavailable for Sundays matchup, there is […]
Kenyan Drake Has Tough Week 6 Matchup
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake has a tough Week 6 matchup against the potent Chicago Bears defense. Despite Drake's solid Week 5 performance, there are many reasons to believe that he will regress in Week 6. Drake has averaged only eight touches over the past three weeks and the Dolphins offense, in general, have […]
DeVante Parker, Jakeem Grant, A.J. Derby Questionable
Miami Dolphins wide receivers Devante Parker (quadriceps) and Jakeem Grant (shoulder) and tight end A.J. Derby (foot) are all questionable for Week 6 against the Bears. Parker said earlier this week that he had no idea if he'd play. He's only suited up for one game this year and isn't a realistic starting option even […]
Cameron Wake Listed As Doubtful
Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) is listed as doubtful to face the Bears in Week 6. Wake's absence will be bad news for a declining Miami defensive line. They'll try to get pressure in other ways on quarterback Mitch Trubisky on Sunday. Wake has recorded 12 tackles and one sack in four games […]
Ryan Tannehill Questionable With Shoulder Issue
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) is questionable for Week 6 against the Bears. He practiced on Wednesday and Thursday but was limited on Friday. We fully expect Tannehill to suit up, although he'll be facing off against a very tough Bears defense and shouldn't be started in single-QB leagues.
