I like Jennings for the first half of the season also. If you look at his numbers last season from week 7 on (when Bridgewater started) he was a mid WR 3. That put him right next to DeSean Jackson & Jarvis Landry (when he got on his roll). This was done with a rookie QB making his first starts. He should do well with Tannehill.

Last season Greg Jennings ran 70% of his snaps from the slot IIRC. He was used extensively from the slot in GB as well.
That is a role occupied by Jarvis Landry. So I don't see Jennings getting as much opportunity for snaps or targets with Miami as he did with Minnesota.

At this time, it appears that rookie wide receiver DeVante Parker remains on track to recover from his foot surgery in time for Week 1. Miami Dolphins president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum said, “He should be ready to go by opening day."

I'm hoping so. In one of my redraft keeper leagues, we have a rookie draft. I have the 11th and would love if he fell to me.

Well, I think Evans and Beckham or more valuable right now.
I'm not arrogant enough to think I can predict the future. But yeah, I think if they stay healthy, Cooper, White, Watkins, and Parker all have a shot at 95-100 catches, and 1300-1400 yard seasons. Maybe not right out of the gate, but it wouldn't surpise me one bit to see some or even all of them go 65-1000, which is what Green did as a 23 year old.

It is funny how quick AJ Green has gone from the hotness to boring.
Sabertooth
Footballguy
I think AJ is much more likely than any of those player to reach AJ Green numbes. But Parker just looks and plays a lot like Green and I think he's got a good chance to dominate the way Green does. Love the kid. Bummed about the injury but hopefully he shrugs it off and has a nice long career. Just seems like a natural football player. More player than athlete but still a great athlete.

not sure why people are so down on him, I've seen him go at around the 9th pick in some dynasty drafts. They guy is talented, pass on him and you might regret it

Fantasy football has a "what have you done for me lately" mentality and Parker had surgery so has not had any other good news than the couple of media days at Dolphin OTAs.
It is very similar to Odell Beckham Jr last year. He had an injury and as a result slid in rookie drafts a few spots and basically went under the radar as a result of "no news".

I could shuffle Mathews/Landry/Perriman, they're hard to sort out for me. I'm much higher on Bryant. I was really impressed with him last season and his upside seems sky high. I'm pretty sure I would be rejected if I offered a guy like Perriman, Agholor, or Funchess for him straight up in my dynasty leagues.
I get this perspective and do not take points away from his long term potential (and ultimately dynasty ranking) because of the surgery. However, Parker certainly needs to refine his route running to be successful at the next level. Lack of training camp and other preseason workouts to help that does not make me expect a big year one impact.fridayfrenzy said:

I think he has all the tools to be top 3 of the class.
Amari Cooper is a super stud.
He needs to get healthy and get on the field. He will be way behind this season though.

Maybe. If he can get (and stay) healthy though I think he's got a much better situation than Cooper.

This is good information and its something I found last year when I was researching for stats on rookie WRs. Bust rates, what to expect etc.
Last year I was desperate for WR help in a dynasty league and had two top rookie picks and wound up taking WR Mike Evans and WR Brandin Cooks.
I had done extensive research and found that 1st round WRs hit a lil-over 50% to have solid fantasy production over their careers so I knew I wanted to use both top picks on wideouts to make sure I had at least one guy who would pan out over time. I didn't expect such a high return so quickly and its looking even better in year two.
My league tends to lose track of top rookie WRs who get injured and don't play in the preseason that happened last year when ODB fell and it happened again this year. From my research I think DeVante Parker has a 'good shot' to turn into a solid fantasy WR. Here's just a few things I filed away specifically on Parker:
=====
... Before Davante Parker underwent foot surgeryhttp://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...iami-dolphins-devante-parker-has-foot-surgery earlier this month, Dolphins linebacker Jelani Jenkins lauded the rookie wide receiver as "an animal" who "goes and gets the ball wherever it is."
... Based on snap data of the current 90-man rosters, below are five rookies who can make a significant fantasy impact in 2015 because they were drafted into favorable situations. It is unlikely that any of these rookies will be top-10 fantasy players, but they could provide value in deeper leagues and potentially emerge as late-round steals. It should be noted that the snap percentages may change as teams take shape in the preseason.
DeVante Parkerhttp://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/2576623/devante-parker, WR, Miami Dolphins: The Miami Dolphins lost an NFL-high 69 percent of their 2014 wide receiver snaps in the offseason after Mike Wallace, Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson were traded or released. Tight end Charles Clay, the team's third-leading receiver, signed with Buffalo. That leaves Jarvis Landry and new additions Kenny Stills and Greg Jennings as the Dolphins' top receiving options. Are any of those players No. 1 receivers? When you consider that Miami lined up with three of more wide receivers at the second-highest rate in the NFL in 2014, Parker should have plenty of opportunities to thrive in Bill Lazor's offense.
... Armando Salguero@ArmandoSalguero http://www.scout.com/ArmandoSalgueroDeVante Parker is a mismatch nightmare out here.

Well at least they are facing reality now. I expect him to debut some time in October.
Bracie Smathers

Oh sure, that is a reasonable time frame for a healthy return. Not expecting much from his rookie season.
I wouldn't mind if they hold him out till he's 100% allowing him to hopefully step-up with his best rookie games right around fantasy playoff time.
I mostly like his long-term dynasty value and don't expect too much his rookie season.
Larry Buckles
Footballguy
Do you think he will be this years OBJ? Start slow due to injury and blow it up later in the season
Ilov80s
Footballguy
Yeah, I don't know what to compare him to Beckham because that was a once in a decade type rookie year. It might take a few weeks for him to transition and get starter reps, but he is the best outside WR on the team. He has a good young QB capable of taking the next step, but also in real need of a playmaking WR. He has good enough complimentary targets to hold the attention of defenses. He is big RZ target. MIami is a high paced offense looking to replace a lot of targets. I would say over weeks 6-16, I think he can be a WR that performs similarly to what a DeAndre Hopkins did last year on a per game basis.

He's practicing.
From MiamiDolphins.com:
From MiamiDolphins.com:
LinkFirst-round pick DeVante Parkeris getting closer and closer to his first action in a Dolphins uniform.
Even though the wide receiver from Louisville sat out his third consecutive preseason game Saturday night, he was in uniform for the first time and caught some passes during pregame warmups.
On Monday, Parker took part in practice for the first time since being activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Head Coach Joe Philbin said after practice the issue for Parker now is getting his timing down.
“I watched some of the route timing,” Philbin said. “I didn’t really get a great glimpse of him during the team period, but I watched him in route timing and it looks like it’s a while since he’s run routes. He looks good, he’s moving well. Just working on the timing and the rhythm of the play and the splits and the depth and those things is extremely valuable for him at this point.”
Philbin was asked what it would take for Parker to see action in a game.
“We’ve got to get him some reps, get him used to getting in and out of the huddle, get the right split, get the right alignment, do the right adjustment versus press or cloud or off and understand where he fits in in the progressions, all those things that reps will provide,” Philbin answered. “We’ll try to amp that up as soon as we can.”

His redraft ADP is down in the "flyer" range right now, at round 12 or later. He seems to be the forgotten man lately, most likely due to the injury. It should go up a little next week with the news of him practicing.
I got him in round 13 last night in a redraft league full of guys who usually take chances on rookies early and often. Dorsett, Perriman, and DGB all went before him.
