Lynn Bowden Jr.

Miami Dolphins WR Lynn Bowden Jr. placed on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

While Bowden won’t play again this season, barring an injury-release settlement, he will remain with the Dolphins. Finding fantasy relevance upon his return will be an uphill battle due to Miami’s receiving corps depth. Bowden should only be rostered in the deepest of dynasty leagues.

Lynn Bowden Jr. suffered a strained hamstring during Thursday’s practice, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Fantasy Impact

That’s considered good news after he went down and underwent tests. His timetable remains unclear, but he is already pretty far down the depth chart at wide receiver for Miami so this setback does not stand well for his potential role.

Lynn Bowden Jr. caught eight of twelve targets for 44 yards, rushed once for negative seven yards and even tossed a 32 yard completion in a 56-26 blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact

Bowden Jr. was a utility player for the Dolphins after being traded from the Raiders early in the season. The rookie finishes his season without a touchdown but the athleticism displayed in 2020 will certainly carry over into a fantasy-relevant role in the 2021 season.

Lynn Bowden Jr. caught two passes for eight yards and rushed once for a gain of eight in the Dolphins' 26-25 Week 16 win over the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact

Bowden wasn't used that much despite DeVante Parker (hamstring) being inactive and Jakeem Grant leaving with an ankle injury. The rookie will remain off the fantasy radar in Week 17 against the Bills.

Lynn Bowden Jr. caught six passes for 37 yards in the Dolphins' 22-12 Week 15 win over the Patriots, adding one rush for a gain of nine.

Fantasy Impact

Bowden now has 13 receptions over the past two weeks. However, this has mostly been done without DeVante Parker or Mike Gesicki around. We wouldn't expect Bowden to be as involved once those two return, which likely renders him waiver-wire fodder for Week 16.
