Scouting report

TEN WR Rishard Matthews - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Detroit
Matthews saw just four targets last week and only caught three passes for 26 yards. That's not real appealing. He could be better this week against Detroit, but it can't be counted on at this point. Keep Matthews on the bench.

TEN WR Rishard Matthews - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Minnesota
Matthews will start opposite rookie Tajae Sharpe. And with Kendall Wright out with a hamstring injury, the duo should get plenty of work. But Minnesota's pass defense allowed just 17 WR TDs in 2015, so it could be tough sledding for the Titans. Matthews shouldn't be used as anything more than a flex play.

TEN WR Rishard Matthews - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

2016 Fantasy Outlook
Matthews has been a pretty sure-handed guy in his first four seasons, catching 107 of the 165 targets that he's had in that period. He comes over from the Dolphins off his best season, when he had 43 receptions for 662 yards and four TDs on 61 targets. With the trade of Dorial Green-Beckham, Matthews should click pretty quickly with Marcus Mariota. Right now, his ADP places him at 77th among receivers, which means he's a super steal as a No. 3-4 receiver. We expect 50-plus catches and around 800 yards. Don't sleep on this one.

MIA WR Rishard Matthews - Week 12, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at New York Jets
Rishard Matthews had just one catch for 15 yards last week as the Dolphins offense struggled. Ryan Tannehill finished with less than 200 passing yards, so it's understandable why Matthews didn't have big numbers, either. This week, Matthews draws a tough matchup against the Jets. He won't be going against Revis, but we still don't like the game. He should be viewed as a WR4 this week.

MIA WR Rishard Matthews - Week 11, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Dallas

Rishard Matthews had a solid 5-93 outing in Week 10. He's really only had one bad game all season and that was in Week 4, when he only caught one pass against a tough Jets secondary. Outside of that performance, Matthews has been a nice contributor every week. He hasn't had a huge game since early in the season, but he's still a factor in Miami's offense.

This week he'll face a tough Cowboys defense that has only allowed one receiving touchdown to wideouts in their last four games. Matthews could struggle some this week, making him a WR3 play at best.

MIA WR Rishard Matthews - Week 10, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Philadelphia

Rishard Matthews doesn't lead the Dolphins in targets or receptions, but he does lead the team in yards (554) and touchdowns (4). He didn't have a huge game last week, racking up just 54 yards on four receptions on a day where Ryan Tannehill threw for 300 yards.

His fortune has a chance of turning around this week, however, as he gets a favorable matchup against Philadelphia. The Eagles have been one of the poorer defenses at stopping receivers this season. In a strong matchup, we view Matthews as a strong WR3 play.

MIA WR Rishard Matthews - Week 9, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Buffalo
In the three games since Miami's coach was fired, Rishard Matthews has at least 60 yards in each outing. He continues to have a big role in this offense and will likely keep putting up big numbers. He'll get a decent matchup this week against Buffalo. In his last game against the Bills in Week 3, Matthews had a big 6-113-2 performance. It's unlikely he does that again, but he should have solid numbers. He'll be a low-end WR2 or strong WR3 play.
