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.

Texans WR Tank Dell was carted off the field Saturday after a bad knee injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Dell had just scored a touchdown but the way he landed caused the injury. NBC isn’t even showing certain angles because of how bad the injury looks to be. Dell’s leg was immobilized. Dell’s rookie season was ended prematurely due to a broken leg. Very unfortunate news for the young wide receiver.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill officially Questionable for Week 16

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) was limited in practice today and is now questionable for Sunday vs. San Francisco.

WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) didn't practice all week and is doubtful.

Related Players: Jonnu Smith, Malik Washington, River Cracraft

Fantasy Impact:

We're assuming Hill will be fine by kickoff, but it's definitely a situation worth keeping an eye on. He's currently projected as a WR2, with Jonnu Smith possibly absorbing even more work with Waddle unlikely to see the field.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee set to make his season debut in Week 16

Rams TE Tyler Higbee (knee/illness) is off the injury report and set to make his season debut Sunday vs. the Jets.

Related Players: Colby Parkinson, Hunter Long, Davis Allen

Fantasy Impact:

This is awesome news for Higbee, who had a brutal injury last January but should see the field here in Week 16. This is a complete stay-away in typical fantasy leagues, but he's an interesting target in playoff-only formats, depending on whether or not you believe the Rams will be contenders.
