Devante Parker Has Important Audition in Week 6
5 years agoThe subject of trade rumors all season, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker will have his best chance to succeed before the October 29 trade deadline, as he's facing a great matchup against the Washington Redskins in Week 6. Usually a touchdown-dependent boom-or-bust option, Parker scored for the first time in Miami's last game and ended with 70 yards on four catches in a blowout loss to the Chargers. While teammate Preston Williams has been receiving more targets than him, there should be plenty of balls for Parker as well, with the Redskins sporting the third-worst defense against wide receivers. With the trade deadline fast approaching, don't be surprised to see Parker receive more than the six targets he's been averaging through his first four games. Williams may be the preferred option in PPR, but Parker should be given some consideration at flex given his matchup and the upside that comes with his big-play ability.
