Ryan Tannehill: If you are starting Tannehill then you have to admit it, you’re a homer. If he is your only option then you didn’t draft well. The most frustrating thing with Tannehill is he can’t hit the deep ball. Three touchdown opportunities were missed on Sunday and if Tannehill hit those three we are talking a four touchdown outing which would have elevated his fantasy status.
Knowshon Moreno: He is on your bench and you want to use him but you are not quite sure if Sunday was a look at things to come or simply a great game against a bad defensive front. The Buffalo Bills have one of the best defensive line so you might be looking at this again next week. Still if you did start him last weekend, he rewarded you with around 19 fantasy points in standard leagues.
Brian Hartline: Hartline is a great receiver to have in PPR leagues but if your league is a scoring league then Hartline is likely still available in your free agent list. Unless you are in a bind, he won’t add much to your roster right now.
Mike Wallace: Seven points in PPR leagues, another eight in yardage and a touchdown? Great week for fans who had the foresight to start him against Darrelle Revis. He may not repeat this week but he should see the same amount of targets.
Lamar Miller: His stat line wasn’t bad but it’s now evident that Knowshon Moreno is the featured back in Miami.
Dolphins defense: Two fumble recoveries and four sacks were good enough to elevate their weekly score to 10 but will they continue that production? A couple weeks may be needed to see. It may not be a bad idea to pick them up and keep them on the bench for now, if they continue you have a top starting defense that no one else had the gumption to pick-up.
Cameron Wake: If your league plays individual defensive players then chances are you either A: already have Wake or B: have no shot at him. Wake looks to be playing inspired already this early in the season.
