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),... Read More

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... Read More
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.

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... Read More

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... Read More
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... Read More

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... Read More

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.... Read More
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... Read More
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... Read More
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... Read More
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... Read More

Fitzpatrick was the king of garbage-time on Sunday, throwing for two touchdowns... Read More

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.

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.

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.

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... Read More
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... Read More
