2020 Shortstop Rankings - H2H Points Leagues

Points leagues may seem like a slight variation from traditional 5x5 category scoring leagues but you must approach draft day with a different strategy if you wish to truly compete. Rankings themselves are a different beast altogether, as category specialists like Mallex Smith and Dee Gordon (stolen bases), Kyle Schwarber and Franmil Reyes (home runs), […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 16

Every once in a while, the schedule gods look down and gift us exactly what we need, exactly when we need it. After a grueling 15 weeks and a rollercoaster filled with ups and downs, and even more downs, it's time for all of the league's biggest losers to put up or shut up in […]

Albert Wilson Fails to Impress

Cleared from concussion protocol, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson didn't do much for those owners who took a chance on the speedy wide receiver ahead of a prime matchup with a bad Giants Defense. Wilson's eight targets led all Dolphins wide receivers and he managed to convert five of them for a total of […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Serviceable in Loss

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick turned in another solid performance in a losing effort on Sunday, throwing for 279 yards and two touchdowns in a 36-20 loss to the New York Giants. Fitzpatrick didn’t throw an interception for the first time in more than a month but still managed to contribute a brutal turnover, fumbling […]

Patrick Laird Lays an Egg

The last man standing in the backfield, Miami Dolphins running back Patrick Laird was a non-factor in fantasy on Sunday, rushing for 46 yards and scoring just four points in standard leagues. Laird was even more ineffective in the passing game, catching two of his five targets for eight yards. In theory, Laird will have […]

Devante Parker Scores Two More Touchdowns

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker had another big game in a 36-20 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, scoring 19 standard league points on four receptions and two touchdowns. Parker finished with 72 yards on the day, putting Miami on the board for the first time with a 20-yard touchdown in the […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 15

Week 14 was a boring one on Tank Street, with all of the crowd favorites managing to take care of business and keep on losing. We did have another early contender fizzle out after Atlanta won their third game out of five, after starting the season a near-perfect 1-7. With two of their three remaining […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Pulls Little Out of His Hat

Coming off of his best game of the year and facing a subpar New York Jets Defense, many fantasy owners likely put their playoff hopes in the hands of Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, hoping the journeyman had a little more magic left. Unfortunately for those wayward fantasy players, Fitzpatrick's tricks on the field fizzled […]

Devante Parker Leaves With Concussion

In the middle of a breakout season and coming off of the best game of his career, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker was forced out of the Dolphins 22-21 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday after suffering a concussion. Parker was removed from the game after hauling in a 21-yard catch at […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 14

Week 13 just served to remind us all that anything can happen in the National Football League and that you can't ever look past the New York Jets when you're trying to lose. The Cincinnati Bengals learned that lesson on Sunday, beating the Jets handily in a game that wasn't even as close as the […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Turns Back the Clock

Picked off on the first play of the game, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick rebounded to lead Miami to a 37-31 victory over Philadelphia in Week 13, throwing for a season-high 365 yards and three touchdowns. Down 10-0 within the first four minutes of the game, Fitzpatrick proceeded to lead the Dolphins on five straight […]

Devante Parker Blows Up in Dolphins Victory

Already in the midst of a breakout campaign, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker put up career high fantasy points in a 37-31 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13, scoring 31 points in standard leagues. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was picked off trying to find Parker on the first play of the game but […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 13

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what a champion loser looks like! The Cincinnati Bengals had every reason to accidentally win in Week 12, as the Steelers were without James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster, and were being led by Mason Rudolph, who proved so ineffective that he was eventually replaced by someone named Devlin Hodges. […]

Devante Parker Remains Consistent Option

Even on one of the league's worst offenses, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker continues to keep a high floor, most recently converting six of his 11 targets for 91 yards in the 41-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Parker has been Miami's unquestioned No. 1 receiver since Preston Williams was lost for the season […]

Is Mike Trout Still the #1 Pick in 2020?

Is it time to talk ADP already? Affectionately known as Mike Trout Doubting-Season, this is the time of year when some touts stick out sorely in declaring that the best player of this - and possibly any - generation should not be chosen first overall in fantasy. Instead, they have declared that it should be […]

Mike Gesicki Scores For First Time This Year

At a position where just a heartbeat can sometimes qualify you as viable, Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has occasionally popped up as a streaming candidate in 2019, only to mostly disappoint his owners. In Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns, Gesicki got off the snide, scoring his first touchdown of the year […]

Kalen Ballage Plods Through Another Loss

Looking back, it's hard to believe that Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage was being drafted ahead of former Dolphin starter Kenyan Drake coming into this season. Completely ineffective all year, things haven't improved since getting the backfield all to himself following the trade of Drake and the suspension of Mark Walton, who had supplanted […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Salvages Fantasy Day

Down 28-3 at halftime and with the game virtually out of reach, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick surprisingly ended his day with 21 fantasy points in the eventual 41-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns, making him the sixth-highest scoring quarterback in Week 12. Fitzpatrick was the king of garbage-time on Sunday, throwing for two touchdowns […]

Devante Parker Has Another Solid Performance

Playing on one of the league's worst teams, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker continues to be a steady source of production, scoring nine fantasy points in a 41-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Parker had six catches for 91 yards and was quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's favorite receiver, with his 11 targets once […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 12

With only six games remaining in the 2019 regular season and with every team now through their bye-week, we can finally look over a level playing field and truly judge the good from the bad, and the winners from the losers. Well, maybe just the losers. Now with two-thirds of the season passed, it's the […]

Devante Parker Looks to Stay Steady

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker continued his breakout season in last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills, even while being covered by standout cornerback Tre'Davious White and a fierce Buffalo secondary. Parker finished the day with 15 points in standard leagues, catching seven of his 10 targets for 135 yards, including a 50-yard catch-and-run. […]

Devante Parker Breaks Free in Loss

Forever labeled as boom-or-bust, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker has now turned into a model of consistency, scoring double-digit points for the fourth time in seven games in Miami’s 37-20 loss to Buffalo on Sunday. The speedy receiver had the best highlight of the day, hauling in a 50-yard catch-and-run to set up Miami […]

Kalen Ballage Vultures His Only Value

With a three-down role all to himself again, Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage continued to be irrelevant in both fantasy and real-life on Sunday, putting up just six fantasy points in Miami’s 37-20 loss to Buffalo. The fact that he got even six points was miraculous, as they only came due to a three-yard […]

Mike Gesicki Can't Get Going in Loss to Buffalo

Seeing a bump in ownership after breaking out for 95 yards in Week 9, Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki disappointed for the second-straight week, scoring just one fantasy point in Miami’s 37-20 loss to Buffalo on Sunday. Gesicki’s six targets tied him with four other teammates for second-most on the team behind clear number-one […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 11

When you can't even get tanking right, you know your football team is bad. Such is the case for Miami Dolphins fans, who not only saw their gutted team somehow win their second-straight game, they also had to watch an entire game of Ryan Fitzpatrick battling Brian Hoyer in an epic 16-12 snoozefest. With the […]
