OK, question about parker who is still available in one of my leageus. It is the most vexing of leagues because we only have two bench spots. Needless to say, its difficult to keep players on your roster.

But it is qb, 2rb, 2wr, flex, te. You have two bench spots. Now the problem is I have three wrs I am starting as is. I have Cooks, OBJ, and Mike Evans. I have Gore and Martin at running back with Ameer and Ryan Mathews on the bench.

Since I have three good receivers all starting, I have both bench spots for running back. Ameer I will hold onto. Mathews is an interesting back. He could be little. He could be close to 1000 yards. If Demarco goes down, he is a goldmine.

So, would you pick up Parker at this point or leave him out there? I think I am going to stay put.

But aside for that, I have parker in another league with bigger benches and hope he could have a large impact. What does everyone here think?

Dolphins have a a short passing gameplan. Tannehill is awful in deep accuracy. He made the league's best deep threat, Mike Wallace, forgettable. I like parker, but I don't expect a lot of big game production. I don't think they will utilize his full potential.

my thought is take a shot on him. With only 2 bench spots, there will always be good players available should he bust. But he has a nice upside that not many other players have.

He's also the largest receiver on the team alongside Jordan Cameron. I think Cameron will play more at blocking with the meh offensive line in MIA and it'll open up RZ plays for DeVante. Tannehill is getting better at heaving it too according to offseason reports... We'll see.

D. Parker or D. Funchess? I ask bc the yahoo video predicts a big game for Funchess.

Parker is the better player, but Funchess has no competition. I'd probably go Funchess this week, but Parker ROS.

I took Parker in round 12 of 14. Really hoping he starts to hit his stride come October.

To the OP, I'd probably keep what you have. Although I understand if you go the other route with Parker. He has upside.

850 yards and ten TDs are forgettable?

Eta: upside is definitely there but they have a lot of mouths to feed. I'd stand pat because of the wrs you have on your roster.

I could be crazy, but I have half a mind to start him over Anquan Boldin this week. Redskins D is pretty terrible against the pass as opposed to Minnesota. This will probably be a last minute change for me as I think about it the next few days. I really think I might play him in my flex this week.

Funchess has more opportunity but is widely regarded as a project. Not sure he is ready for the role. He couldn't pass up Ted Ginn and some other scrub (Philly Brown) that had the drops in preseason.

Devante only has to overtake Greg Jennings to be the #2 in Miami.

He is currently listed as the #2 receiver...He only needs to overtake Jennings to become the #1.
