Dolphins fantasy football pick-ups Authentic Daniel Kilgore Jersey , drops for Week 2 The first week of the football season is over, which means the first week of fantasy football for 2018 is also over. Or were you the lucky player who watched Matthew Stafford throw pick after pick on Monday night and your lead evaporate with every time the Jets caught another Stafford pass? Not that I know anything about that or anything.Stupid two quarterback league.Anyway, Week 2 of the NFL season means it is now time to start wheeling and dealing in fantasy football. Where do you need to look to pick up an injury replacement or grab that stud no one expected to breakout in Week 1? For the Miami Dolphins, there are definitely a couple of players you should consider adding. Percentage owned numbers are based on Yahoo! leagues.Dolphins Waiver Pickups:Frank Gore, running back% Owned: 9Week 1 Stats: 9 carries, 61 yardsGore did not get into the endzone, but it is clear he is going to see plenty of carries in the Dolphins split-starter running back system. While Kenyan Drake is owned in 99 percent of leagues, Gore is out there available for anyone to grab as a RB2 or RB3/Flex option if needed.Kenny Stills, wide receiver% Owned: 72Week 1 Stats: 4 recs, 106 yards, 2TDsAll summer, I have said Stills will be the Dolphins’ top receiver this year, and in Week 1, that was a correct projection. DeVante Parker will come back from his broken finger at some point Youth Josh Sitton Jersey , but the connection that Ryan Tannehill and Stills has is going to lead to some big numbers. He could be a great WR2 option for you if you need someone right away, or he could be a bye week option if you can stash him until then.Ryan Tannehill, quarterback% Owned: 7Week 1 Stats: 20/28, 230 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTsThe Dolphins definitely looked to Tannehill to win them the game this past week and, while the two interceptions hurt his fantasy points, he was still slinging the ball everywhere. Assuming some of those picks were rust and some of it was from the rain, Tannehill is not going to be a bad bye week option for you to grab now and stash away for when you need him. For comparison, Jameis Winston is owned in 13 percent of leagues, and he is not even playing for two more weeks.Dolphins Drop or BenchDeVante Parker, wide receiver% Owned: 40Week 1 Stats: Injured, DNPDropping Parker may be a bit premature, but you are probably going to have to be patient with him over the next couple of weeks. He has never been a receiver who plays well when he is banged up http://www.dolphinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-akeem-spence-jersey , so it may take a minute for him to get back to full potential as he comes back from a broken finger. The Dolphins expect big things from Parker - as they have ever year since he entered the league - but they are downplaying it this year to try to keep him from feeling the pressure. Once he is back and ready to fully play, he could be a good option for you in matchups or as a bye week replacement, but he is probably someone you need to keep on the bench for a while - and if you HAVE to make a roster cut somewhere, he could be the right guy to choose.Sleeper to buy cheapMike Gesicki, tight end % Owned: 12Week 1 Stats: 1 rec, 11 yardsThe Dolphins have big plans for Gesicki this year, though Week 1 did not cause the rookie to break out. The Titans did a solid job of bumping him off routes or getting him caught up at the line of scrimmage. That said, the Dolphins want him to be a pass-catcher and red-zone target, so if you have roster space and want to stash someone who, as soon as he breaks out will be a high demand tight end, pick him up now and just wait. Caught from behind on a 71-yard run, Kerryon Johnson took some locker room ribbing, the kind that comes after a victory on the road.Johnson rushed for 158 yards Sunday to help the Detroit Lions beat Miami 32-21. His teammates thought he should have had more, but safety Reshad Jones ran him down after the Lions' longest run in seven years."Look Jesse Davis Jersey , since high school I've been caught from behind enough times for me to know that's how it happens in life," Johnson said. "But I haven't run 71 yards in a long time, so I was proud of myself."The Lions (3-3) had lots of reasons to feel good after climbing to .500, their high-water mark so far this season. The Dolphins (4-3), by contrast, fell out of their first-place tie with New England in the AFC East.Here are things to know about both teams:GROUND GAME: The Lions netted 248 yards on the ground, their highest total since the Barry Sanders era in 1997, and averaged 7.1 per rush. The same team rushed for 39 yards in a season-opening loss to the New York Jets."When you go out and you can execute and do it the right way, it looks really good," coach Matt Patricia said. "We've seen it when it doesn't look so good."For the first time this season, the Lions had more rushes than pass plays. Quarterback Matt Stafford was fine with that, given the results."It's incredible," he said. "Our guys up front dominated. They played great. I thought our receivers in the back end blocked well, and then obviously our backs were awesome. It was a lot of fun to watch them do their thing."I haven't been a part of too many of those Authentic Bobby McCain Jersey , and it was a whole lot of fun."STAFFORD'S STATSWhen he did throw, Stafford was a model of efficiency. He went 18 for 22 for 217 yards with two scores and no turnovers for a season-high rating of 138.1.Stafford had his fifth game in row with at least two touchdown passes and a 100 passer rating. He threw four interceptions in opener, but has only one since.FURTHER DEPLETEDThe injury-plagued Dolphins lost two more key players. Dynamic receiver Albert Wilson was sidelined in the first half, and receiver Kenny Stills limped to the locker room with a minute left.Wilson's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said his client suffered a hip injury that appeared significant."I would say the best-case scenario is that he would miss a few weeks," Rosenhaus said during his weekly appearance on South Florida's WSVN-TV. "Worst-case scenario is he could possibly miss the rest of the season."There won't be much time for any Dolphins to mend 鈥?they play Thursday at the Houston Texans (4-3), who earned their fourth consecutive victory Sunday by winning at Jacksonville."We'll figure something out," coach Adam Gase said. "It's going to be a short week, but at the same time we'll have enough guys to be ready to go."RUSHING THE PASSERDetroit defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois had two sacks and two quarterback hurries. He said he was effective, in part, because the Lions' ball-control attack allowed him to stay fresh by spending a lot of time on the sideline."I love the offense," Francois said. "I love when they are running that ball, passing Youth Jakeem Grant Jersey , and you just keep hearing 'first down, first down, first down.' I'm a big fan of our offense. Our offense did their job, ate the clock, ran the ball, controlled the game."MIAMI QBSBrock Osweiler played well in his second start filling in for the injured Ryan Tannehill. Osweiler went 22 for 31 for 239 yards with two touchdowns and no turnovers.Tannehill is nursing a sore throwing shoulder, and Gase declined to shed any light on his status for the Texans."I don't know yet because we haven't gotten that far yet," Gase said. "I was worried about today."
