Dolphins WR DeVante Parker still dealing with hamstring injury

Sep 06, 2016

Dolphins coach Adam Gase said last week that he hopes wide receiver DeVante Parker will eventually “know how to push through certain kinds of pain” so that he can make good on the potential that made him a first-round pick in 2015.

It doesn’t look like this will be the week that Parker makes that breakthrough. Parker hurt his hamstring last Monday, an injury that Gase said is different than the hamstring injury that cost him time in August, and remains out of practice on Tuesday with the start of the regular season fast approaching.

Fantasy Impact:

Jarvis Landry and Kenny Stills will be the top two Dolphins receivers this weekend whether Parker plays or not. The third wideout will likely be rookie Leonte Carroo as offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen said, via Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, that newly acquired Justin Hunter doesn’t know enough about the offense yet to fill Parker’s role.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
