DeVante Parker Practices Wednesday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) practiced with the team Wednesday. He caught passes and ran routes for the first time since Parker originally suffered the broken finger. Reporters were only allowed to see half of the practice, so it is unclear how much Parker actually did. He was using his right hand without […]
Kenny Stills Becoming Consistent Receiving Option
The Miami Dolphins have faith that wide receiver Kenny Stills can become a complete No. 1 option for the offense in the passing game. “We know he’s a vertical threat. He showed that again, that he’s still able to do that,” head coach Adam Gase said. “There’s [going to be] more underneath and there’s [going […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 2)
This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]
Gavin Escobar Released By Dolphins
Miami Dolphins tight end Gavin Escobar has been released to make room for the signing of center Travis Swanson. Escobar had no receptions in the Dolphins Week 1 matchup. The Dolphins now only have three healthy TEs on their roster, with tight end Mike Gesicki being the top pass-catcher. However, Gesicki remains a low-end option […]
Danny Amendola (WR, MIA) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeVante Parker was absent in Week 1, so someone needed to be the WR2 behind Kenny Stills who went for 106 yards on four receptions and two touchdowns. Even though Stills had the big day, Danny Amendola had the second most targets and receptions on […]
Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill had an up-and-down game between weather delays in week one, tossing for 230 yards and two touchdowns but throwing two interceptions against the Titans. He has been a matchup play for the majority of his career, and Tannehill […]
Danny Amendola Catches Four Passes Sunday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola caught four passes for 26 yards in the Dolphins 27-20 win over the Titans in Week 1. Amendola wasn't a big factor in this one, though he did have the second most targets for the Dolphins with six. The veteran slot receiver may only be useful in PPR leagues […]
Albert Wilson Catches Three Passes Sunday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson caught three passes for 31 yards in the Dolphins 27-20 win over the Titans in Week 1. Wilson wasn't very involved in this one, see just four targets on 28 passes thrown by Ryan Tannehill. He was outperformed by Jakeem Grant, who caught five passes on the day. Wilson […]
Jakeem Grant Catches Five Passes, Returns Kick for Touchdown
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant caught five passes for 38 yards and returned a kick for a 102-yard touchdown in the Dolphins 27-20 win over the Titans. Grant was more involved in the game plan than what was originally anticipated. He led Miami in catches and targets in this game. Grant's role in the […]
Kenny Stills Catches Two Touchdowns Sunday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills caught four passes on five targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins 27-20 win over the Titans in Week 1. It was the Kenny Stills show for Miami on offense today, and Stills' biggest play was a 75-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. He burned […]
Frank Gore Rushes for 61 Yards Sunday
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore rushed nine times for 61 yards in the Dolphins 27-20 win over the Titans in Week 1. He broke off a 21-yard scamper for a big chunk of his yardage, but Gore still averaged five yards-per-carry without that big run. He played better than Kenyan Drake, who gained 48 […]
Kenyan Drake Rushes for 48 Yards Sunday
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake rushed 14 times for 48 yards and caught three passes for 18 yards in the Dolphins 27-20 win over the Titans. Drake picked up 1/3rd of his yards on one 16 yard carry. He was out performed by Frank Gore, who ran for 61 yards on nine carries himself. […]
Ryan Tannehill Tosses Two Touchdowns Sunday
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill went 20-for-28 passing for 230 yards along with two touchdowns and two interceptions. This game had a lengthy interruption due to weather, but despite poor conditions Tannehill had a decent return to game action. He relied heavily on Kenny Stills in this one, as Stills caught both his touchdowns and […]
DeVante Parker, Kalen Ballage Inactive
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) and rookie Kalen Ballage are inactive for Week 1 against the Titans. Parker is no surprise on this list, and he might even be questionable for Week 2. Kenny Stills should be the top receiver against the Titans, with Danny Amendola, Albert Wilson and Jakeem Grant also seeing […]
DeVante Parker Not Expected To Play
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) is not expected to play in Week 1 against the Titans, according to a source. This doesn't come as a surprise, as Parker was listed as doubtful to play. He won't necessarily be a lock to return in Week 2 either. With Parker out on Sunday, Kenny Stills […]

Frank Gore Sits Out Thursday's Practice, Active For Sunday
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore sat out of practice on Thursday, likely for rest. At 35 years old, it makes sense for the Dolphins to keep Gore's workload down to ensure he can play the entire season. Gore remains a low-end fantasy option and should only be used for his potential goal-line scores. There is […]
