Fantasy Football Player Notes

The Dolphins did not draft an RB, and although Salvon Ahmed is still around, Gaskin looks to be the the man at the top of the Miami depth chart at RB. Gaskin looked sharp last year, bouncing runs to the outside and showing explosiveness. He actually caught 41 balls in just 10 games, so although goal line work may elude him, he'll make up for it in PPR with his receptions. He's a nice PPR Flex RB in a perfect world.

Jaylen Waddle is an exciting WR prospect, but his 2021 value may be better suited to best-ball rather than redraft formats. Will Fuller signed a one year deal and the Dolphins have enough veterans to keep Waddle from breaking out in his rookie season. Also, Tua Tagovailoa has yet to prove he's a force in the NFL. If Tua comes on strong and Waddle balls out in camp, he could carve out an early role. However, Waddle remains a better dynasty investment at the moment based on his incredible skill set.

Tua Tagovailoa's debut was not stellar in 2020. Between significant hip surgery, no OTA's, no preseason, and a QB controversy in his locker room, it's a wonder he could do anything productive on the field. However, the Dolphins continued to build the right way and added WR Will Fuller on a one-year "show me" deal and WR Jaylen Waddle via the draft. Tua has the weapons and an entire offseason to reach his potential in 2021. He's a ferocious competitor and an intelligent QB. He just needs some time to get his feet under him. In 9 starts, he threw for just 11 TDs, but the new weapons will open up the field more for the young QB. He remains a perfect buy low in Superflex dynasty leagues. In redraft formats, he could be a decent mid-range QB2. Tua's is a work in progress, but one that still carries more potential than some want to acknowledge.
