Fantasy Impact

Cortland Finnegan has gotten more play as the weeks have progressed, and could time in the playoffs if Charles Tillman is out for an extended period of time. The Panthers are already missing Bene Benwikere.

In an expected move, the Dolphins release veteran CB Cortland Finnegan. The team is on a mission to to free up cap space. Dropping Finnegan will free up $5.5 million.

Fantasy Impact

Cortland had his best days with the Tennessee Titans who drafted him in 2006. 2014 revealed that Cortland was on the downside of his career. He only played 12 games last year, missing time due to injury. Quarterbacks who targeted Finnegan last year completed 66.2 percent of their passes. This was an no-brainer move for Miami.

Cortland Finnegan is listed as active today and will play against the New England Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

Great news for Finnegan and the Miami D. However, he hasn't seen the field in weeks, and it's the fantasy playoffs. Unfortunately we need to see how he looks until we put him in our lineups.

Cortland Finnegan is inactive and will not play against the Baltimore Ravens. Finnegan was limited in practice all week with an ankle injury. This is the fourth straight week he will miss.

Fantasy Impact

Expect to see a heavy dose of R.J. Stanford with Jimmy Wilson mixed in while Finnegan is out. Neither should be in your lineup this week against the Ravens.

Cortland Finnegan is on the inactive list for the third week, and will not play against the New York Jets on Monday night.

Fantasy Impact

Fourth-year player R.J. Stanford, who was signed just last week is starting in Finnegan's place.
