DeVante Parker Listed As Doubtful

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) is officially listed as doubtful for Week 1 against the Titans. Parker will not play in this game and might also miss Week 2. In his absence, Kenny Stills will be the No. 1 receiver. Albert Wilson, Danny Amendola and Jakeem Grant will also see their roles increase. […]

Week 1 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

After months of painstaking preparations toward determining how to draft your collection of running backs, you may have initially believed that you had successfully navigated the unpredictable flow of the live draft process. But when you reviewed your roster, that optimism faded, as you realized that this critical position had not been completely addressed. Maybe […]

Week 1 Tight Ends - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

So your fantasy draft left you with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, a terrific tandem at running back, and two tight ends that will not be able to catch a cold even if they were in a frozen pond in the dead of winter with nothing on but tube socks. Well, it is time to fix […]

Albert Wilson Has High Hopes For Offense

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is very optimistic about the offense in 2018. “I think we’re gonna be amazing,” Wilson said. “We’re gonna shock a lot of people. We’re gonna stretch the field and get the ball in a lot of different people’s hands and watch them make plays.” Miami finished 28th in scoring […]

Jakeem Grant Clears Concussion Protocol

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant (head) has cleared the concussion protocol ahead of Week 1 against the Titans. With Devante Parker (finger) already ruled out for the season opener, Grant should have an expanded role alongside Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson. However, he's still probably not a candidate for any starting lineups, and Danny […]

MarQueis Gray Put On IR, Gavin Escobar Signs

The Miami Dolphins placed tight end MarQueis Gray (Achilles) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and re-signed tight end Gavin Escobar in a corresponding move. Gray was set to be the team's starting tight end, but he reportedly suffered a serious injury in practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if he'll be able to make it back […]

Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Craig Rondinone

Fantasy football pundits and prognosticators love making predictions as much as Rachael Ray loves making dinner. I love making both, but this column is about my predictions, not my pasta. I have no crystal ball or portal to the future to help make these predictions, nor can I speak to the dead like Tyler Henry […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 1

The wait is over ladies and gentlemen! Week 1 of the regular season is finally here and fantasy owners alike are anxious to see how their teams will develop. With all of the nerves and excitement, it's easy to forget how big of a role matchups play in deciding each players' fantasy fortunes. Thankfully, Rotoballer […]

Frank Gore Facing Tough Matchup, Playing-Time Concerns Week 1

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore will likely work behind Kenyan Drake in Sunday's matchup against the Titans. The Titans have a formidable rush defense. Last season they allowed the fourth fewest rushing yards and fourth fewest rushing yards per carry. They were also the seventh ranked rush defense by DVOA. Gore may not see […]

Danny Amendola May See Additional Targets in Week 1

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola will be the slot receiver in Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Titans. With Devante Parker (finger) inactive, Amendola may see additional targets in this game. Amendola has excelled in a slot role, and quarterback Ryan Tannehill fostered one of the most prolific PPR reception machines in Jarvis Landry […]

Kenny Stills Could See Additional Targets In Week 1

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills will be the Dolphins No. 1 receiver Sunday against the Titans. Wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) will be inactive, leaving Stills as the primarily downfield threat for Miami. Stills does draw a tough matchup; he is likely going to line up against Malcolm Butler. Butler was once considered among […]

Kenyan Drake Facing Tough Matchup In Week 1

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake will carry most of the load for Miami in Week 1 against the Titans. The Titans have a formidable rush defense. Last season they allowed the fourth fewest rushing yards and fourth fewest rushing yards per carry. They were also the seventh ranked rush defense by DVOA. Since Drake […]

Ryan Tannehill an Underwhelming Option in Week 1

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is healthy and ready to go for a Week 1 tilt at home against the Titans. The Titans were a sub par pass defense last season, allowing the eighth most passing yards and passing touchdowns last season and also ranked 24th in DVOA. The Titans rectified their woes through the […]

MarQueis Gray Limited Wednesday

Miami Dolphins tight end MarQueis Gray (foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Gray is listed as the team's starting tight end, but rookie Mike Gesicki has the most pass-catching upside of the group and could become a red-zone option immediately for quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Gray should be ignored in fantasy leagues.

Frank Gore, Jakeem Grant On Injury Report

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore (Achilles) and wide receiver Jakeem Grant (concussion) were both on the injury report on Wednesday, but both players practiced in full. It's not a good sign that the veteran Gore is already on the injury report, but it looks like he'll be fine to play in Week 1 against […]

Williams Hayes Practices on Wednesday, Dolphins Defense at 100%

Miami Dolphins defensive end Williams Hayes returned to practice on Wednesday, which puts the Dolphins defense at 100 percent for the first time since early in training camp. Despite the early-season health, the Dolphins defense is not in any position to have an improved 2018 campaign; they will likely repeat their below-average 2017 season. They […]

DeVante Parker Won't Play Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) will not play in the season opener this Sunday, according to a league source. He's been out since Aug. 12 when he suffered a broken finger during practice. Both Albert Wilson and Jakeem Grant will likely see more snaps in the offense as a result against the Titans. […]

To Draft or Not to Draft - Running Backs

Similar to the previous article on wide receivers, we will be focusing on running backs that have extremely low ADPs in most drafts. I’m looking to discuss players that are on the “Island of Misfit Toys” or players that are “Dumpster Dives.” Players that will be drafted to sit on your bench or end up […]

The Running Back Handcuff Hedge - Who To Handcuff

This article was updated on 9/4 to account for the Jerick McKinnon and D'Onta Foreman injury updates. We have learned over time that the running back position is without question the most volatile in fantasy football. This understanding is based upon the percentage of injuries versus the other skilled positions, NFL teams increasingly using split back committees creating […]

DeVante Parker Uncertain For Start Of Season

While Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) has been feeling substantially better, there remains uncertainty as to whether he will be ready for the first or second week of the season, according to a source. Parker has been out the last three weeks with a broken middle finger. He was seen in the locker […]

Kenyan Drake Maturing, Work Ethic Improving

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake has matured significantly over the offseason and is ready to work harder than ever. As reported by the Palm Beach Post, Drake "seems friendlier, but also more serious. He comes across confidently, but it’s the tone of someone who knows what they’re doing rather than the arrogance of someone […]

Dolphins Name Both Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore Starters

The Miami Dolphins named either Kenyan Drake or Frank Gore as their starting running backs. Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald was specific in that either one of them could be the starter. It's hard to read the situation based on what the coaches and reporters are saying, but based on preseason usage and production […]

MarQueis Gray Wins Tight End Job

The Miami Dolphins have named MarQueis Gray as the starting tight end. Gray edged out rookie Mike Gesicki for the starting role. Gray is currently dealing with concussion-like symptoms and is questionable for week one. He is entering his sixth NFL season, but this will be Gray's first opportunity as a starter. He's never had […]

Dolphins Name Starting Wide Receivers

The Miami Dolphins have released their depth chart, naming Danny Amendola, Kenny Stills, and Devante Parker as their three starting wide receivers. This was largely expected, with Albert Wilson the only notable omission. Wilson and Amendola were battling for the slot receiver position, but Amendola ultimately won the job. Stills is the most exciting of […]

Dolphins Sign Brandon Bolden

The Miami Dolphins signed free-agent running back Brandon Bolden on Tuesday and cut center Travis Swanson in a corresponding move. Bolden was cut by the Patriots over the weekend after just 13 carries for 67 yards in 2017. He's mostly a special teams ace and should not be considered by fantasy owners at this time.

Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - NFC North

In an effort to write these columns before the start of the season, I thought I'd get some help on this issue. So I asked my wife, who is a big Green Bay Packers fan, what her thoughts were on the 2018 fantasy football season. As a note, my wife is a highly regarded researcher […]

Five Re-Draft Studs Who'll Be Dynasty Duds

As players get older, their value in re-draft leagues can remain high, but their value in dynasty formats starts to drop. It happens for everyone -- one day we'll be looking back on how Odell Beckham Jr. and DeAndre Hopkins aren't worth drafting in dynasty -- and it's vital that dynasty owners know when the […]

Last-Round Running Back Lottery Tickets

As draft season comes to an end, it is important to remember that there is good value available late in the drafts. Lottery ticket picks that work out often end up being difference-makers for the fantasy owners that select the aforementioned players.
