Devante Parker Fantasy

There was optimism that Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker would become more of a focal point in the offense with the trade of Kenny Stills but that wasn't the case at the beginning of a 59-10 blowout loss to the Ravens in Week 1. Parker wasn't targeted for the first time until the beginning of the second quarter but made the most of his opportunity, making an impressive catch over and between two Baltimore defenders for a 49-yard catch. The fourth-year receiver added two more receptions, finishing with 75 yards. Parker's seven targets were the highest on the team but the consistently inconsistent receiver will be difficult to trust in fantasy, particularly given the current impotent state of Miami's offense.

Enigmatic Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker saw one of his biggest competitors for targets disappear on Saturday, when Miami traded wide receiver Kenny Stills to Houston, along with offensive tackle Larry Tunsil. While Parker has been the first Dolphin wide receiver being taken in fantasy drafts this year, with his 165 ADP slightly ahead of Stills and Albert Wilson, Parker shouldn't see that much of a fantasy bump, even though he'll likely see a few more targets. With a weakened offensive line, a battle of mediocre quarterbacks, and management firmly in rebuild-mode, investing anything more than a late-round pick on any Dolphin is bound to be a risky proposition.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker heads into the 2019 season looking to stay healthy. He is confident in his abilities, but knows the biggest thing holding him back has been being able to stay on the field. "Staying healthy. That's it. I can play," Parker said. He had 24 receptions in 11 games in 2018, a far cry from the 56 and 57 receptions he posted in the previous two seasons. We've seen this movie before, as Parker has looked sharp in the offseason, garnered a bunch of preseason hype and then fallen well short of expectations due to injuries. If he can stay healthy in 2019, he has plenty of speed to burn. However, that's a big if.
