This guy knows nothing about basketball and clearly doesn't know anything about fantasy football.I'm not a troll for calling someone out who is completely clueless.

Nah, you are a troll for your excessive use of the ROFL emoji and 1 sentence straw man replies
He said the Dolphins won 10 games last year and are more talented this season. One of those is objectively true, the other is subjective, but has merit considering who they got back from injury.

Strength of schedule falls somewhere between awesomeness of the team logo and the number of Capricorns in the defensive backfield.
Apologies for the sarcasm.
Lines are set, and moved, based on the psychology and betting patterns of the betting public every bit as much, if not more, than a detailed analysis of what is happening on the field.

Shops I've spoken to this week more than comfortable having massive liability going to Floyd tonight; minimal interest in a balanced book

What do people see for Parker this week? hard to tell what to make of Rams defense and admittedly didn't watch to much pre-season for these guys. Trying to figure my flex spot between him, Hurns and Carson.
Right city, wrong team and that's an easy call you have but you this is a not a WDIS forum.

fine. is this better?
I'm just interested in some info on him. That's all. Its to help in making a decision on my team...like all discussion on this board. I'm not asking who you would start over him, I'm asking for feedback on what your expectations are for him. Don't see the problem, but whatever.
Good luck this week!
What a dooshbag response. Ignore the post if it upsets you so much.
As for the question, I'd go with Parker. Cutler and Parker seem to have a nice repoir and the way he can throw the ball, should make him their number one over Landry.

Sweet matchup. I'm starting him over Corey Davis and Corey Coleman.
I corrected him on the team, told him it was an easy decision but this was the wrong forum. Between the two of us one of provided dooshbag post and it's not the guy looking at me in the mirror.

Thanks! my understanding is that Parker fits the mold of the WR's that Cutler has had success with in the past. Seems like a good start.

Love him for the season, not this week.
Chargers CB's and defense in general is vastly underrated. They should be able to put a lot of pressure on Cutler and the Chargers CB's cover very well but what they don't do is tackle well. This to me shapes up as a better Landry game, shorter passes due to lack of time and he is strong after the catch.
Again love Parker this year, more than Landry for sure, just not as much this week.

Starting Fitz over him in one league but I'm rolling Parker in another. I'm a little worried about the match up but Parker can still break one off.

Agree - I'm rolling with M.Bryant at my WR3 over Parker for their respective matchups.
Might bite me in the A, but seems sensible.

I considered that. He should face weaker coverage, and Steelers always seem to find him deep at home.
Parker is tempting, as Cutler has
for him. I'll probably waffle 3-4 more times before Sunday.

So ready to throw him in to my flex ... but hate the matchup.
The one thing that keeps me on the fence this week is Cutler - he's doesn't care about matchups lol. He's gonna chuuck it up anyways.
... still think I'm benching.

Would any of you start him over Cooper?

Think I am starting him over Cobb ... for now
Cooper at home against the Jets could be Top 3.

Cooper is an easy start over Parker ..
im currently benching him for Pryor and Alshon.
the Chargers have a great pass rush, and top CB's.

Until Parker demonstrates a consistency in production, Cooper is must-start... always.

He was graded out as PFF's #6 CB out of 119 qualifiers last year. PFF thinks he'll shadow Parker and that it's the least advantageous match-up for a WR this week.
DT didn't fair too poorly versus him last week but I don't think it can be construed as good, no.

Starting him over Hogan. Hogan has a great opportunity for a high ceiling but a lot of mouths to feed even without Amendola.
Parker up against a tough D but may have a higher floor given chemistry with Cutler.
Mostly excited to see him in action when the games count.

Don't do this, Marshall is washed.
This is the exact scenario I face and I'm leaning Parker but I'm very much undecided. After watching what Theilen did vs. NO out of the slot I really want to start Hogan. They profile super similarly.
Also per PFF's shadow coverage matrix, Hayward lined up opposite DT 73.5% of the time. DT was targeted 6 times and caught 4/61/0 against him.
Landry was a late add to the injury report, so there are even more targets for Parker now.
Jarvis Landry (knee) is questionable for Week 2 against the Chargers.

Yeah, this is a rough one. I think this is the kind of game Parker may have a tough time against two bona fide shutdown corners in Hayward and Verrett. With Bosa providing heat up the middle, if MIA's O-line falters could make it hard on Cutler who isn't exactly grace under pressure. But I can totally see Parker blowing over the top and taking that one pass for 50 yards and a score.
On the other side of the ball, Saints are a veritable sieve on defending the pass, with offenses regularly posting 300 yard receiving games against them through last year. And they are playing without the one asset they do have in the secondary, Delvin Breaux. NO is a little bit stouter against the run (not great but not terrible, though they did totally break down against the Vikes last week) -- this may shift the game plan to attack them through the air a little more. Still - a lot of mouths to feed.
I think I may be convincing myself to give Parker a rest until next week, where he's likely to go hog wild against the Jets.
ETA: Looks like Amendola missed practice again today, which makes Hogan that much more intriguing.
