DeVante Parker – Miami Dolphins Let’s be honest: The Miami Dolphins were an unmitigated disaster during the 2015 season. Many fantasy experts expected DeVante Parker to dominate in his rookie campaign, but he instead devastated fantasy owners by tallying just 26 receptions, 494 yards, and a lackluster three TDs. Perhaps most discouraging where fantasy was concerned was the fact that DeVante was targeted just 50 times.
But as Ryan Ward of
numberFire noted, Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill excelled during the final six games of the season when he finally made a sincere effort to
get Parker heavily involved. During the stretch, DeVante racked up 22 catches, 445 yards, and four TDs, which is far more indicative of what he’s capable of as a fantasy option.
With RB Lamar Miller now in Houston, fantasy owners can expect the Dolphins to rely a tad heavier on their pass attack in 2016, which is a trend that projects to reward those who roll the dice on Parker.
