Frank Gore A Tolerable Week 6 Option
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is in a tough spot in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Gore has been out-touching running back Kenyan Drake but has yet to have a meaningful fantasy game. Gore has a decent floor as he will likely be able to run for at least 50 yards on his […]
Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 6
The byes are here, but so are the booms and busts! Drew Brees will not be breaking any more records this week as he and his New Orleans Saints are on bye, along with Matthew Stafford and his Detroit Lions. So do not look for Tre’Quam Smith or Kerryon Johnson to make the columns as […]
Kenny Stills Avoidable In Week 6
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills does not have a favorable Week 6 matchup against the Chicago Bears defense.

Besides his massive Week 1 […]

DeVante Parker Unsure Of Week 6 Availability
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) is unsure if he will be active in Week 6 against the Bears.

Cameron Wake Still Sidelined
Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) remained out of practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Wake sat out last weekend and appears to be on track to missing his second straight game. That would be bad news for the team's pass rush as they look to slow down Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky.

Defenses to Stream Against with Confidence
A football player is only as good as his matchup. For players on the fringes of fantasy rosters, that proves to be true more often than not.

Warning Signals for RB/WR/TE - Week 6
Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season.

DeVante Parker Limited In Practice Wednesday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Parker, the subject of trade rumors of late, was limited in practice last week but did not play.

Ryan Tannehill Should Be Avoided In Week 6
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill should be avoided in leagues that start just one quarterback in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Simply put, the Dolphins offensive is 30th in the league in yards per game and the Bears defense is 2nd in the league in yards allowed per game. That's a clear-cut recipe for […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jameis Winston and the Buccaneers were on bye this week, but with him being declared the starter in Tampa Bay Winston can be a viable fantasy quarterback again.

Week 6 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups
Week 5 was a week of duds for many at the quarterback position, with ten starting quarterbacks scoring fewer than 15 fantasy points based on standard scoring. Some of those quarterbacks being universally owned and started as well. Disappointing performances aside, there were still plenty of encouraging games from low-owned quarterbacks. Detroit and New Orleans […]

Dolphins Shopping DeVante Parker
The Miami Dolphins have talked to several teams about trading injury-plagued wide receiver Devante Parker. Parker hasn't just been injured in his time with Miami, but he's been a bust and a disappointment with his play. Parker got off to a late start to this season due to a finger injury and hasn't played the […]
Mike Gesicki Has Quiet Week 5
Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki had another quiet week with three catches for 26 yards on five targets. The absence of tight end A.J. Derby has allow Gesicki to see the majority of tight end snaps but he hasn't found a way to make a decent fantasy impact. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill was held to […]
Frank Gore (RB, MIA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is unusual to advocate adding a 35-year old back who has already accumulated 3,273 carries during his 14-year career. Particularly when his 24-year old teammate appears fully capable of thriving as a feature back if he is presented with the opportunity. […]
Danny Amendola Catches Three Passes In Week 5
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola turned in another low-output week in the Dolphins 27-17 loss to the Bengals in Week 5. Amendola caught three passes for 30 yards on four targets. This offense can hardly sustain even one valuable fantasy receiver and with Amendola clearly third on the depth chart behind Kenny Stills and […]
Albert Wilson Hauls In Five Catches In Week 5
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson caught five passes in the Dolphins 27-17 loss to the Bengals in Week 5. He gained 43 yards on those five receptions and was target six times.

Kenny Stills Turns In A Dud In Week 5
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills was practically absent in the Dolphins' 27-17 loss to the Bengals in Week 5. He caught just two passes for 17 yards on five targets. Stills was certainly on the "bust" end of his boom-or-bust outcomes. His volatility is exacerbated by the poor play of quarterback Ryan Tannehill, because […]

Kenyan Drake Totals 115 Yards And A Touchdown In Week 5
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was a threat both on the ground and through the air in their Week 5 27-17 loss to the Bengals. Drake rushed six times for 46 yards and caught seven passes for 69 yards and a touchdown. Drake was Miami's best offensive weapon in a tough game, with 115 […]
Ryan Tannehill Throws Two Interceptions In Week 5 Loss
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill struggled in Miami's Week 5 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He went 20-for-35 passing for 185 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. This was seemingly an opportunity for a bounce back from Tannehill, as Cincinnati had been shredded the week before by Matt Ryan and the Falcons. Tannehill […]
DeVante Parker, Andre Branch Inactive In Week 5
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (quadriceps) and defensive end Andre Branch (knee) are both inactive for Week 5 against the Bengals.
