DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Deeper Waiver Wire Adds & FAAB Bids

Here's a name you've had shoved down your throats by fantasy pundits (myself included) only to see marginals returns to this point. He only has four catches on eight targets for 49 yards, so it's understandable why most owners have jumped ship. But it's time to consider giving the rookie a second shot.

Parker is an athletic freak with the raw talents to become a top tier wide receiver in the NFL. In four years at Louisville he caught 33 touchdowns including averaging 20 yards per catch his senior year. The main drawback has been playing time as he's recovered from a foot injury in the preseason but I see new Head Coach Dan Campbell as one who wants to revamp the Dolphins gameplan. Expect to see much more Lamar Miller and hopefully our man Parker. The Dolphins play the Tennessee Titans, a team ranked 2nd overall in passing defense according to Football Outsiders. But dig deeper and you'll see the Titans have a DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) of 74.6% to #2 wide receivers, 2nd worst in all of football. With Jarvis Landry expected to be the main point of concern on Sunday, Parker has a chance to finally emerge in Week 6.
