Scouting report

MIA WR DeVante Parker - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Buffalo
Parker's usage has declined in recent weeks after two strong weeks to begin 2016. His last three games have produced lines of just 2-20, 2-70, 5-28, and no touchdowns. You simply cannot start him with confidence against Buffalo with this level of inconsistency.

MIA WR DeVante Parker - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Pittsburgh
Parker has six targets in the past two weeks, compared to 19 targets in Weeks 2 and 3. Because of that, you cannot trust Parker in your lineup this week in 10-team leagues, and he's tough to trust in leagues bigger than that too. It's a boom-or-bust situation against the Steelers.

MIA WR DeVante Parker - Week 5, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Tennessee
Parker's targets have been inconsistent: 13, 6, 3 the last three weeks. Consider him a boom-or-bust flex option in Week 5 against the Titans, as Kenny Stills was actually on the field for more snaps than Parker last week against the Bengals.

MIA WR DeVante Parker - Week 4, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Cincinnati
In DeVante Parker's two games this season, he has posted 8-106 and 3-51-1 on 19 targets. It's clear Kenny Stills is no longer a concern to Parker's fantasy value. Game flow should also help Parker Week 4 at Cincinnati, where Miami is expected to be behind. The Bengals are in the bottom half of the league against fantasy receivers, so Parker should be no worse than a flex play this week.

MIA WR DeVante Parker - Week 3, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Cleveland
It didn't take long for DeVante Parker to pass Kenny Stills on the Dolphins depth chart, catching eight passes for 106 yards last week. His 13 targets also matched Jarvis Landry's. Start him with confidence as a high-upside flex against the Browns.

MIA WR DeVante Parker - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Seattle
Parker may not be active this week with hamstring issues, and even if he is, he should not be in your lineups with a trip to Seattle on tap, and having lost the #2 WR job to start the season to Kenny Stills.

MIA WR DeVante Parker - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Scouts had their tongues hanging out watching Parker as he came out of college last season. That’s why the Dolphins spent a first round pick on him. Injuries kept him off the field for much of his rookie season, but from Week 12 to Week 17, Parker averaged 3.7-74.2-0.5. Those 14.1 FP/G in PPR would have matched Allen Hurns for WR18 last season. And get this: those 10.4 FP/G in standard scoring would have been good enough to finish ahead of Eric Decker for WR9. How’s that for fantasy upside?

Fantasy Downside
Jarvis Landry is still a part of this offense gobbling up targets, the 6th most in the NFL in 2016. Plus, Adam Gase is an offensive minded coach but has been more run heavy than most realize. Gase has been in the bottom half of the NFL in pass play percentage the past two seasons, even with Peyton Manning in Denver in 2014. The Bears went from #2 in pass play percentage in 2014 to #25 under Gase in 2016. Does that leave enough targets for Parker to be successful, and will they be quality targets with Ryan Tannehill at quarterback?

Bottom Line
There’s no denying Parker’s big play ability. He is a large and athletic talent. However, it appears he may be more valuable in standard leagues than PPR with Landry’s presence and Gase’s tendencies of late. Parker is only a low WR3 to us in PPR leagues, and somebody most should probably pass on with his 6th round ADP in 12-team leagues. Donte Moncrief and Michael Crabtree are better PPR targets at WR to us at that point in the draft. However in standard leagues, Parker bumps up a handful of spots from his PPR ranking.
