The Miami Dolphins hope Parker plays to help Tua continue to progress.

2. WR Devante Parker 

Week 15: Out 

This past week Parker was out with a hamstring injury that he suffered in the first half against the Kansas City Chiefs in week 14. This same injury may keep him out of this week against the Raiders, but it seems as though he will be a game time decision.

Parker is by far and away the most important wideout on the Dolphins roster and needs to play if he is healthy enough. It will be interesting to see if the Dolphins do deploy the wideout this week, when there is a much tougher matchup the following week.

With Tagovailoa becoming better adjusted to the pro game, he has become a more capable passer and seems to trust his receivers more, this bodes well for Parker as he was the teams top target in the games he has played in.

With that being said, Parker gives the team a big bodied wideout who gives corner matchup problems and is a clear go to for the team in the red zone and on third downs.

If Parker is cleared to play this week, he should have a big game against a struggling Raiders defense that was torn apart by Jaylen Guyton and Tyron Johnson. If not, then they should hope he is cleared by week 17 against the Bills.
