Danny Amendola

There were some crazy rumors coming out of Miami early in the offseason suggesting that Amendola would see 100-plus targets in Jarvis Landry's old role. The issue with that was that the Dolphins signed Albert Wilson before him, and for much more money. Amendola will turn 33 years old this year and is not built for that type of role, as shown by the fact that he's failed to top 689 yards in his career, and has played 16 games just twice. He may have a higher floor than most in his range, but his ceiling isn't what some are making it out to be.

Fantasy Impact

The departure of Jarvis Landry has left 161 targets vacated by the slot receiver in Miami. QB Ryan Tannehill was no stranger to the short passing game with Landry before his injury, either. Whoever plays the slot role in Miami could see plenty of targets. The consensus has been Amendola all along, but Albert Wilson signed a pretty large deal this off-season, too, so the team will want to use him as well. It makes both players late-round pickups at best. If either one can run away with the job, though, it could be quite lucrative for fantasy owners.
