MIA WR DeVante Parker - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Los Angeles Rams

DeVante Parker struggled last week, finishing 3-35 on eight targets. It was a season-low in receiving yards for Parker, and just the second time he's dipped below 50 receiving yards in a game this season. Things will get interesting this week as Parker gets a new quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa. It's tough to predict whether this will boost Parker, hurt him, or mostly remain the same. The bigger issue is the matchup, a tough Rams secondary featuring Jalen Ramsey. The Rams have allowed the fourth-fewest total receiving yards to wideouts this season, and just three receiving touchdowns to wideouts. With a bad matchup and a QB change, don't be surprised if Parker has an off-week. We like him as a low-end WR2 or solid WR3 play in Week 8.

MIA WR DeVante Parker - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. New York Jets

DeVante parker only finished with two receptions last week, but he turned it into a productive outing with 50 yards and a touchdown. Parker has hit 50 yards in every game but one, and he hit 47 in that game (and left early due to injury). Parker has been the Dolphins' best receiver in an offense that's topped 300 passing yards three times this season. In other words, he's productive and should have more opportunities for good games. He gets a favorable matchup this week against the Jets (23rd in aFPA), and should be viewed as a lower-end WR2. We're projecting around 70 yards for Parker.

MIA WR DeVante Parker - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at San Francisco 49ers

DeVante Parker benefited the most from Ryan Fitzpatrick's 300-yard day, finishing 10-110-0 on 12 targets. It's his first 100-yard game of the season, and it came despite him being questionable with an ankle injury. Parker is still listed on the injury report, but he should be good to go in Week 5. Parker has been solid in 2020, averaging 17.4 PPR points in the three games he's played fully (he left Week 1 early due to injury). He gets a decent matchup this week against the 49ers, who are 16th in aFPA to wide receivers. We like Parker as a solid WR2 play in Week 5.

MIA WR DeVante Parker - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Seattle Seahawks

DeVante Parker finished with a season-high in receiving yards last week with a nice 69-yard performance off five receptions (and five targets). Parker finished with 43% of the Dolphins' passing/receiving yards, so he had about as good as a game as he could under the circumstances. He draws a favorable matchup this week against a Seahawks defense that's allowed an average of 400+ passing yards through the first three weeks of the season. We like Parker as a strong WR2 in Week 4 vs. Seattle.

MIA WR DeVante Parker - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Jaguars

DeVante Parker had a strong Week 2 performance, finishing 5-53-1 on eight targets. He's still dealing with a hamstring injury, which has left him limited in practice this week, but he should active against the Jaguars in Week 3. We like Parker as a WR3 option against Jacksonville. The Jaguars have allowed the 10th-fewest receptions to receivers so far in 2020, but two games is a small sample size. We're projecting around 4-5 receptions for about 60 yards.

MIA WR DeVante Parker - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at New England Patriots

DeVante Parker seemingly came out of nowhere last season to have a breakout year, finishing with a career-best 72-1202-9 season. It's worth noting, however, that the bulk of his production came after Preston Williams was sidelined with an injury. With Williams back, it'll be interesting to see if Parker can maintain the level of success he had in the back-end of 2019. He'll face a tough test in Week 1 against the Patriots and Stephon Gilmore. Parker should have some good games in 2020, but we're projecting him to finish under 60 yards this week, putting him in WR3 territory. Parker is also dealing with a hamstring injury, which has left him limited in practice.

MIA WR DeVante Parker - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Many considered DeVante Parker a bust heading into 2019, but he proved himself to be a late bloomer with a career season. Parker finished 72-1202-9 (all career highs) as he dominated in Miami. Parker saw 128 targets last season, 13th-highest in the league. He especially shined later on in the year, averaging 104.7 yards in his last seven games.

Fantasy Downside
It’s rare to see someone break out so late in their career, so we’re a little skeptical that Parker can replicate what he did in 2019. For starters, his biggest games came following Preston Williams’ injury. Parker with Williams in the lineup went 28-400-4 in the first eight games, and without Williams went 44-802-5 in the final eight games. Parker also had a very low catch percentage of 56.3, which ranked 170th among all players with at least 20 receptions.

2020 Bottom Line
Parker had only finished above 700 yards once in his four seasons before his 2019 breakout. And with Williams returning the lineup, it’s hard to see him fully replicate what he did a year ago. There’s also a question of a new quarterback, adding some additional risk factor when thinking about Parker. There’s more reason to like Parker heading into 2020 than there was in 2019, but now his hype has driven up his ADP to a point where he may not be worth it. Parker should be viewed as a lower-end WR2 this season.
