Preston Williams Could Quietly Become Relevant

Considering he's seen his targets go up in every game - including a team-high 12 in last week's 31-6 loss to the Cowboys - Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams may soon belong on your fantasy radar. The bad news is that Williams only reeled in four of those 12 targets for 68 yards and […]

Kenyan Drake Still A Poor Option in Miami Muck

With only 147 total yards and no touchdowns on the season, Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake has been a fantasy dud so far in 2019. There are a few things that his owners can take heart in though, such as his snap rate and touches increasing in each game. Unfortunately, those snaps and touches […]

Dolphins Defense a Desperate Play in Week 4

Simply put, there are zero good reasons to consider rostering the Miami Dolphins Defense in a Week 4 matchup against the San Diego Chargers. The obviously tanking Dolphins have allowed 133 points through their first three games and will face a Chargers team that may see the return of running back Melvin Gordon to an […]

Josh Rosen Looks to Improve in Second Start

Making his first start of the year, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen did little to impress in a 31-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3.

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 4

Week 3 was an exciting one, with big injuries, big comebacks, and big debuts. Also, another blowout loss by the Miami Dolphins as they continue the unprecedented Great Tanking of 2019.

Jack Flaherty Loses No-Hitter in Seventh

Absolutely dominant all game, St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty lost his no-hit bid against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday on a hard-luck infield single by Eduardo Escobar to lead off the seventh inning.

Dylan Bundy Impressive in Win

Baltimore Orioles starter Dylan Bundy was solid again on Tuesday night, picking up the win over the Baltimore Orioles after allowing two runs in seven innings.

Jake Odorizzi Fantastic in Win, Removed as Precaution

Minnesota Twins starter Jake Odorizzi did his part on Tuesday night, allowing just one run on two hits over six innings as the Twins would beat the Tigers 4-2 and reduce their magic number to two.

Jose Ramirez Returns to Lineup With Career-High Seven RBI

Owners of Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez got an early surprise on Tuesday, with Ramirez returning to the lineup a week ahead of schedule in his recovery from a broken right hamate bone.

Ronald Acuna Leaves Game With Hip Tightness

Kenyan Drake Does Little in Loss

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake saw his highest usage of the year in a 31-6 loss to the Cowboys but it meant little for his fantasy line, as he ended with just 38 yards on 12 carries. Drake also added three catches for 34 yards for a total of 15 touches in comparison to […]

Josh Rosen Fails to Spark Dolphins Offense

Getting his first start for his new team, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen moved the offense only slightly better than his predecessor Ryan Fitzpatrick in a 31-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Rosen completed 18-of-39 passes for 200 yards with no touchdowns, although he did have a touchdown dropped by Preston Williams. There are zero […]

Devante Parker Makes Sensational Catch

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker did little to help any desperate owners forced to start him in Week 3, catching 3-of-6 targets for 56 yards in a 31-6 Dolphins loss to the Cowboys. But Parker did make the highlight reel with a brilliant one-handed catch for 40 yards on Miami's opening drive, even as […]

Greg Olsen Grabs Two Touchdowns

Carolina Panther tight end Greg Olsen lit up the scoreboard with two touchdowns in a 38-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3.

Preston Williams Leads Dolphins Receivers

For the second week in a row, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams led the team in both targets and yards in another blowout loss to the Cowboys in Week 3. Williams only caught four passes for 68 yards but his 12 targets doubled those of fellow receiver Devante Parker, as the rookie continues to […]

John Brown Quiet in Win

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown put up a ho-hum fantasy line on Sunday, catching 4-of-5 targets for 59 yards in a 21-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Saquon Barkley Returns to Sideline in Walking Boot

After leaving the game shortly before halftime with an ankle injury suffered against Tampa Bay, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley returned to the sidelines with a protective boot on his right foot.

Head-to-Head Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 26

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Mitch Moreland Homers Twice in Loss

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland tried his best to keep his team from being eliminated from the playoff race on Friday night, providing all of the Red Sox offense in a 6-4 loss in Tampa Bay. Moreland hit a pair of two-run home runs but the Red Sox fell nevertheless and will now […]

Zack Greinke Uninspiring in Win

Houston Astros starter Zack Greinke did just enough to get the win on Friday night, allowing four earned runs in five innings of a 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Greinke gave up seven hits and struck out four, nearly squandering a 5-0 Astros lead before giving way to the Houston bullpen. The right-hander […]

Mike Fiers Bounces Back Against Rangers

Oakland Athletics starter Mike Fiers has destroyed the ratios - and fantasy championship dreams - of many an owner in the past two weeks, allowing 16 earned runs in the 7 2/3 innings that his last three starts have been comprised of. But nevertheless, Fiers tried to kiss and make up with his jilted owners […]
