Wish I could have done the same. I had to drop him after injuries to Dez, Keenan Allen and Watkins. Once Dez and Sammy got healthy, I got beat to him by a team with a worse record. Oh well........Got him back. Hope the positive trend continues.
That's worth 26 points in Hearts. I hope it's worth the same in fantasy football.Shooting for the moon on MNF.
There really has been no explosive, championship winning receiver in the late season in the mode of Gordon 2013 or Bekham 2014, I really hope Parker has his breakout.Shooting for the moon on MNF.
You really have to see the deep TD pass, a thing of beauty. That is a QB's and OC's best friend and we will only see more of it (or attempts at it).
Landry's poor day last Sunday is weirdly encouraging, at least to me.wow, he accounted for 73% of the passing yards (Tanny only had 86 yds :X )... should be lookin at 200+ if Tannehill can go for 300.
Landry has some knee issue but should be amped up playing against his buddy ODB on MNF.Landry's poor day last Sunday is weirdly encouraging, at least to me.wow, he accounted for 73% of the passing yards (Tanny only had 86 yds :X )... should be lookin at 200+ if Tannehill can go for 300.
Yes it was the most impressive rookie WR catch I have seen this year. He has the goods people.You really have to see the deep TD pass, a thing of beauty. That is a QB's and OC's best friend and we will only see more of it (or attempts at it).
Do you have anything other than an unrelated player in an unrelated season burning you to suggest he's going to bust this week?I really, really hope I'm wong, but Parker has week 14 bust written all over him. It always happens. Last year, I desperately picked up Donte Moncrief for the first week of the fantasy playoffs -- who was getting sudden hype just like Parker is now -- and he was awful that week.
Just because you lost on a boom/bust play before doesn't mean that is the wrong play forever afterward. There is a legit scenario when a boom/bust play is the correct move, though you should not EXPECT that to work every time.I really, really hope I'm wong, but Parker has week 14 bust written all over him.

He had some foot injuries in college as well I think. Landry is able to play at a high level and not be on the injury report each work. Parker seems like he will always have nagging injuries. Some guys go thru their careers and seem to stay off the always nicked up report.smoke monster said:I didn't see him get hardly any targets early in the game. In fact it didn't even seem like Tannehill even looked his way.
I was reading the Michael Floyd thread and thought these 2 guys are pretty similar, no? Floyd seems like a good comp. Which I think bodes well for DeVante long term. DeVante might even be better at catching the ball.
Starting off your rookie season with a foot injury has to be a huge set back for a WR. I think he's a strong hold in dynasty, or a buy if his owner is down on him. Thoughts?
Nice work.In the most recent game against the Chargers. DeVante Parker led all skill players in snaps again with 52 91% he had 6 targets 4 receptions 87 yards 21.8ypc
Last 4 weeks for Parker
59 snaps 81.9% 10 targets 4 receptions 80 yards 1TD

There were many different offensive linemen rotated in the most recent game. Starting LT Albert for example only played 12 snaps (21%) while center Pouncey played 36 (63%)

Thanks. I would assume Albert is hurt as well. 3 linemen played all 57 of Miami's offensive snaps Douglas and John were used a lot as well, I assume in part replacing Pouncey and Albert.Pouncey got hurt.In the most recent game against the Chargers.

Didn't watch the fish much this year, but does he have anything close to a full route tree yet? Or mostly just deep patterns that rely on his speed?Mixed day yesterday. The intention to get him involved is real. The catch % isnt there yet.
The early pick in the end zone was intended for DP and he didnt put in outward effort. That may have been a cosmetic thing more than actual lack of effort.
Landry is quick, smart, has good hands, a ton of heart and is a terrific football player...but he is far from having a full compliment of tools. Very slow (4.7 combine speed) and small. He is a great compliment to what they hope Parker will become - a true WR1. Love Landry as a football player, but he is not nearly as physically gifted as your typical stud WR.Didn't watch the fish much this year, but does he have anything close to a full route tree yet?

I read on Yahoo last night "I'll be ranking Parker a above Landry next year." Oh, please do so. One guy has a full compliment of tools, the other has speed.
LMK if I'm reading that wrong.
My take (a non Dolphins fan but an invested Parker owner):Mixed day yesterday. The intention to get him involved is real. The catch % isnt there yet.

Can his 2016 value crack the top 30 even if everything falls right around him in terms of coach/QB/WRs?
Just curious, you think he is better than one of Cooper or White?Biabreakable said:I think Parker was/is the second best WR to come out of the 2015 draft and as good as Landry is I would expect Parker to overtake him as the primary WR for Miami with Landry complementing him as a possession receiver.
White. Cooper was the best WR from 2015 in my opinion. White had one very good season but his high draft position is more based on upside than proven performance.Just curious, you think he is better than one of Cooper or White?Biabreakable said:I think Parker was/is the second best WR to come out of the 2015 draft and as good as Landry is I would expect Parker to overtake him as the primary WR for Miami with Landry complementing him as a possession receiver.
4-49-0 until the last six games of the season, with 0 receptions in seven of the first nine games (one DNP)bud29 said:5-106-1. Nice
love me some parker, but not sure how I feel about this statement.
Parker finishes trying rookie season on the upswing,,, Parker, the 14th pick of last year’s draft, endured lingering issues from offseason surgeries on his left foot. That problem, along with typical rookie struggles, hindered him from establishing a major role in the offense.
He turned a corner in late November with a breakout game of four catches for 80 yards and a score against the Jets and kept progressing. He had multiple catches in each of the final six games, totaling 445 yards and three touchdowns on 23 receptions during that run.
“I’m super excited about the future he’s going to have,” quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. “He’s going to be one of the best players in the league, and I believe that whole-heartedly. He’s just scratching the surface.
“He’s just playing bigger and bigger, and that’s what we drafted him for and that’s what we want to see out of him. He’s doing it and he’s only going to get better.”
... His most frequent target, as has been the case all year, was Jarvis Landry. He grabbed six catches for 72 yards and has more receptions through his first two seasons (194) than any player in NFL history.
With Landry proven as a go-to option and Parker potentially on the rise, the Dolphins could have a stellar receiving corps next season.“Can’t wait,” Landry said. “It’s exciting, and it’s something definitely to build on for me, him, Ryan and numerous other guys. We’re gonna have an opportunity to compete and be an elite offense in this league. With everything happening in the offseason and not knowing what’s going on, we’ve gotta come in and get together as a group and make it happen for ourselves.”
Adam Gase was the OC for the Broncos under Fox that guided by Peyton Manning was one of the most prolific passing offenses in NFL history in 2013. This offense supported Thomas, Decker, Welker and Juliuss Thomas who all had excellent seasons.How does Gase affect this offense in terms of down the field passing and WR favoritism? I truly don't know too much about him as I didn't watch the Bears all that much.
I don't think it is really fair to say Evan's regressed.Bracie.. Evans went for 1051 yds / 12 TD's as a Rookie.. He finished this yr w/ 1200 yds / 3 TD's... Can you clarify his strides?
I personally believe he was closer to regressing (not based on TD production) But the fact that the actual yardage goal should be much higher, and achievable considering 1,000 in his 1st yr
Jamies Winston was a rookie working with a second year WR. The club went with a conservative approach on offense running the ball more. No Vincent Jackson for much of the year.Bracie..
