J.T. Barrett Back On Saints Practice Squad
New Orleans Saints quarterback J.T. Barrett has been re-signed onto the practice squad following the promotion of linebacker Vince Biegal to the active roster. Barrett has been cut and re-signed twice already in the early season. If the Saints hold onto Barrett until quarterback Drew Brees retires, it'll be interesting to see if he has... Read More
Dolphins Defense A Low-End Play This Weekend
The Miami Dolphins defense has been well below average when it comes to passing yards allowed over the first two games of the season.

Rookies Worth Your Attention in Week 3
In this column, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Ideally,... Read More
Danny Amendola Should Be Avoided
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola has been struggling to be the PPR monster he was in the past. Amendola has only eight catches for 58 yards this year. The yardage isn't all that concerning, but for Amendola to be a productive fantasy player, he needs more receptions. The Dolphins do have a favorable matchup... Read More
Frank Gore An Option For Week 3
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore has continued to show that he is a viable fantasy option even though he has running back Kenyan Drake taking the majority of touches. Gore had nine carries in both of the first two weeks and it is reasonable to believe that he will continue to receive that many,... Read More
Tre'Quan Smith Should See Increased Targets
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith should see an increase in targets as the season progresses. Smith was a standout rookie receiver throughout the Saints training camp and preseason, but the regular season has been taken over by wide receiver Michael Thomas. However, head coach Sean Payton has said that he wants Smith... Read More
Mike Gesicki Pleased With Early-Season Role
Miami Dolphins rookie tight end Mike Gesicki says that he is pleased with his role over the first two games of the season. The rookie has only one catch for 11 yards so far in the 2018 campaign but has proven himself as an excellent blocker. Ironically, Gesicki was a terrible blocker at Penn State... Read More
Mike Gillislee Sees Small Increase In Touches
New Orleans Saints running back Mike Gillislee had eight carries for 18 yards in Sunday's win against the Cleveland Browns, an increase of five touches and nine yards from Week 1. Gillislee remains nearly irrelevant in all fantasy formats as running back Alvin Kamara continues to lock down the backfield. Gillislee will be even less... Read More
DeVante Parker Was Ready To Go For Week 2
Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (finger) said that he was ready to go for the Dolphins Week 2 matchup against the New York Jets and was unsure why he was inactive. Earlier this week, head coach Adam Gase also mentioned that Parker was not having any issues catching balls at practice on Thursday or... Read More
Dolphins Tight End An Interesting Option
Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki is in a position to make a fantasy impact during his Week 2 matchup against the below-average New York Jets defense. Gesicki was only targeted twice during his 25 snaps in Week 1, but head coach Adam Gase says that he wants Gesicki more involved in the offense. If... Read More

Josh Sitton Out For Season
Miami Dolphins left guard Josh Sitton (shoulder) will be out for the remainder of the season with a torn rotator cuff. Sitton was a key component of the Dolphins offensive line that the Dolphins claimed was the best unit they have had in many years. Sitton's left guard position will likely be filled by second-year...

Kenyan Drake In Complicated Situation For Week 2
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is in a tough fantasy situation heading into his Week 2 matchup against the New York Jets. Drake has shown that he has the raw talent to be an elite running back, but the Dolphins seem to be rolling out more of a mixed backfield. During Week 1, Drake... Read More
Alvin Kamara Could See Reduced Touches Moving Forward
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara could see a slight reduction in touches moving forward. Kamara was on the field for 52 snaps during Week 1 and head coach Sean Payton says it was largely due to the fact that the Saints were playing from behind. Payton also mentioned that despite Kamara looking excellent... Read More
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... Read More
Mike Gillislee Struggles In Week 1
New Orleans Saints running back Mike Gillislee struggled in Week 1. In a negative game script where the Saints were playing from behind, Gillislee only totaled three carries for nine yards and a fumble. It is possible for Gillislee to get more touches in the future, but he remains nearly irrelevant in all fantasy formats.... Read More
Saints Defense Torched In Season Opener

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... Read More
Andrus Peat Sits Out Practice Wednesday, Limited Thursday
New Orleans Saints left guard Andrus Peat (quadriceps) was out of practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday. Peat's injury doesn't seem too concerning, but his status for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is still unknown. Full participation in Friday's practice would likely indicate he's a go for Sunday. If Peat does... Read More
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... Read More
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.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater says that he is excited to work with and learn from Drew Brees. After being traded from the New York Jets less than a week ago, Bridgewater is on a one-year contract with the Saints. At nearly 40 years old, Brees will certainly be leaving the NFL in the...

Miami Dolphins quarterbacks Brock Osweiler and David Fales have both found a spot on the 53- man roster, but head coach Adam Gase hasn't said which player is the true backup to Ryan Tannehill.
