which means the first week of fantasy football for 2018 is also over.

Dolphins fantasy football pick-ups Christian Wilkins Jersey Mens , drops for Week 2 The first week of the football season is over, Did you win in your opening game of the year? Or were you the lucky player who watched Matthew Stafford throw pick after pick on Monday night and your lead evaporate with every time the Jets caught another Stafford pass? Not that I know anything about that or anything.Stupid two quarterback league.Anyway, Week 2 of the NFL season means it is now time to start wheeling and dealing in fantasy football. Where do you need to look to pick up an injury replacement or grab that stud no one expected to breakout in Week 1? For the Miami Dolphins, there are definitely a couple of players you should consider adding. Percentage owned numbers are based on Yahoo! leagues.Dolphins Waiver Pickups:Frank Gore, running back% Owned: 9Week 1 Stats: 9 carries, 61 yardsGore did not get into the endzone, but it is clear he is going to see plenty of carries in the Dolphins split-starter running back system. While Kenyan Drake is owned in 99 percent of leagues, Gore is out there available for anyone to grab as a RB2 or RB3/Flex option if needed.Kenny Stills, wide receiver% Owned: 72Week 1 Stats: 4 recs, 106 yards, 2TDsAll summer, I have said Stills will be the Dolphins’ top receiver this year, and in Week 1, that was a correct projection. DeVante Parker will come back from his broken finger at some point, but the connection that Ryan Tannehill and Stills has is going to lead to some big numbers. He could be a great WR2 option for you if you need someone right away, or he could be a bye week option if you can stash him until then.Ryan Tannehill, quarterback% Owned: 7Week 1 Stats: 20/28, 230 yards Miami Dolphins Jersey 2019 , 2 TDs, 2 INTsThe Dolphins definitely looked to Tannehill to win them the game this past week and, while the two interceptions hurt his fantasy points, he was still slinging the ball everywhere. Assuming some of those picks were rust and some of it was from the rain, Tannehill is not going to be a bad bye week option for you to grab now and stash away for when you need him. For comparison, Jameis Winston is owned in 13 percent of leagues, and he is not even playing for two more weeks.Dolphins Drop or BenchDeVante Parker, wide receiver% Owned: 40Week 1 Stats: Injured, DNPDropping Parker may be a bit premature, but you are probably going to have to be patient with him over the next couple of weeks. He has never been a receiver who plays well when he is banged up, so it may take a minute for him to get back to full potential as he comes back from a broken finger. The Dolphins expect big things from Parker - as they have ever year since he entered the league - but they are downplaying it this year to try to keep him from feeling the pressure. Once he is back and ready to fully play, he could be a good option for you in matchups or as a bye week replacement, but he is probably someone you need to keep on the bench for a while - and if you HAVE to make a roster cut somewhere, he could be the right guy to choose.Sleeper to buy cheapMike Gesicki, tight end % Owned: 12Week 1 Stats: 1 rec, 11 yardsThe Dolphins have big plans for Gesicki this year, though Week 1 did not cause the rookie to break out. The Titans did a solid job of bumping him off routes or getting him caught up at the line of scrimmage. That said, the Dolphins want him to be a pass-catcher and red-zone target Walt Aikens Jersey , so if you have roster space and want to stash someone who, as soon as he breaks out will be a high demand tight end, pick him up now and just wait. Ryan Tannehill fielded questions on Twitter this week, with followers asking about his fresh-water fishing preference (open face reel), whether he could play receiver in the NFL (no way), and what kept him going when he missed all of last season (faith, family, friends and teammates).The social media audience was too polite to ask the question on the mind of every Miami Dolphins fan: When will Tannehill win a postseason game, or at least play in one?He doesn't know the answer anyway. But with his first game in 21 months looming Sunday, the 30-year-old quarterback begins a season more optimistic than ever."I feel more ready for this year than I've ever felt before," Tannehill said Wednesday. "I feel more confident, I would say, in the guys that we have and the path that we're on. Are we there yet? No. But the standards that we have established in training camp and throughout the offseason, how guys come to work each day pushing to get better, that's what excites me more than I've ever been."Tannehill said he has never been so confident in his offensive line. He likes his team's depth at the skill positions, including veteran newcomers Frank Gore, Danny Amendola and Albert Wilson, and rookie tight end Mike Gesicki. And he's increasingly comfortable with the offensive system under third-year coach Adam Gase."I feel more confident in fully playing the position than I ever have Kiko Alonso Jersey , and everything it entails," Tannehill said. "It might not be every play you see it, but I know when certain situations come up, I'm going to be quicker to react and make the right decision and not have to think about it."Teammates praise Tannehill's mastery of the offense."Seeing how prepared and comfortable he is, it's contagious for the other guys," Gesicki said.But can Tannehill win? His career record is 37-40. He became the Dolphins' starter as a rookie in 2012, and their only playoff berth since then was in 2016, when he suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 14.Tannehill re-injured his left knee in training camp last year, wiping out his 2017 season. He says he's now 100 percent, and looked it during the exhibition season."He has taken hold of this offense, and he has made it his own," Gase said.The Dolphins went 6-10 without Tannehill last year, and prognosticators say they'll have a losing season with him. But doubters may forget how well Tannehill was playing when he first hurt his knee.In his final eight games of 2016 — his most recent games — he had a passer rating of 100.1, and the Dolphins went 7-1. While he says he's a better quarterback now, Gase agrees."I love working with him," Gase said. "I love how he does everything from the time he gets in the building until the time he leaves. He really has shown me a lot, especially on the practice field, with how intense he is and how he treats every day like a game."As the biggest star on a team under the radar Davon Godchaux Jersey , Tannehill has embraced a leadership role more than ever, and raised his profile off the field, such as with the Twitter Q&A."I'm just trying to engage a little bit more with fans and give them a little window into my life," he said.That includes his wife, Lauren, and their 2-year-old son, Steel. One Twitter video Tannehill posted this week features Steel showing off his throwing arm by lobbing a rock a few feet in the backyard."Obviously we have a little work to do," dad says on the video."It was actually a good throw," he confessed with a laugh Wednesday. "Lauren is like, 'He actually made a good throw. Why did you have to trash him like that?' I'm like, 'I guess for the price of comedy, right?'"Tannehill laughed again. When it comes to grading the throwing arms in his family, things don't get serious until Sunday.
