Week 12 vs. San Francisco
DeVante Parker is finally healthy and playing like the former first round pick that flashed at the end of 2015. In the past two weeks, Parker has received 18 targets. He's turned those into 13 receptions for 182 yards and a clutch game-winning touchdown last week. All of a sudden, he has moved past Jarvis Landry in the Dolphins air attack. Consider Parker a low WR2 this week with massive upside against the 49ers.
Week 11 at Los Angeles
Welcome back, DeVante Parker. The former first round-pick posted his second 100-yard game of the season last week, after finally recovering from hamstring injuries. However, he's outside our top-35 WRs in Week 11 against a stout Rams defense. Keep an eye on him for Week 12 though against the 49ers, after getting two more targets than Jarvis Landry in Week 10.
Week 10 at San Diego
Parker (hamstring) did not practice Thursday. It's a lingering issue that has been a bit of a mystery among Dolphins beat writers. Parker played 90% of snaps last week, but he only caught two passes for eight yards. He's too risky of a play, despite his immense talent, in Week 10.
Week 9 vs. New York Jets
In the Dolphins last game against Buffalo before the bye, Parker saw Kenny Stills overtake him in 2 WR sets once again. His 67 percent of snaps were far fewer than Stills' 93 percent. Parker did have 80 yards and a touchdown against the Jets last season in one game against New York, however, if he's not seeing the field, the opportunity will not be there. He can't be trusted in lineups for Week 9.
Week 7 vs. Buffalo
Parker's usage has declined in recent weeks after two strong weeks to begin 2016. His last three games have produced lines of just 2-20, 2-70, 5-28, and no touchdowns. You simply cannot start him with confidence against Buffalo with this level of inconsistency.
Week 6 vs. Pittsburgh
Parker has six targets in the past two weeks, compared to 19 targets in Weeks 2 and 3. Because of that, you cannot trust Parker in your lineup this week in 10-team leagues, and he's tough to trust in leagues bigger than that too. It's a boom-or-bust situation against the Steelers.
Week 5 vs. Tennessee
Parker's targets have been inconsistent: 13, 6, 3 the last three weeks. Consider him a boom-or-bust flex option in Week 5 against the Titans, as Kenny Stills was actually on the field for more snaps than Parker last week against the Bengals.
Week 4 at Cincinnati
In DeVante Parker's two games this season, he has posted 8-106 and 3-51-1 on 19 targets. It's clear Kenny Stills is no longer a concern to Parker's fantasy value. Game flow should also help Parker Week 4 at Cincinnati, where Miami is expected to be behind. The Bengals are in the bottom half of the league against fantasy receivers, so Parker should be no worse than a flex play this week.
Week 3 vs. Cleveland
It didn't take long for DeVante Parker to pass Kenny Stills on the Dolphins depth chart, catching eight passes for 106 yards last week. His 13 targets also matched Jarvis Landry's. Start him with confidence as a high-upside flex against the Browns.
Week 1 at Seattle
Parker may not be active this week with hamstring issues, and even if he is, he should not be in your lineups with a trip to Seattle on tap, and having lost the #2 WR job to start the season to Kenny Stills.
