There are three guarantees in life: Death, taxes and DeVante Parker letting down his fantasy owners after dominating the offseason. It was impossible to be on Twitter during Dolphins OTAs and minicamp and not see highlights of Parker making one-handed grabs or Moss’ing a poor DB during the months of May and June. As we all know, Parker typically flashes his elite first round talent around this time of the season before an injury creeps in during training camp and eventually does next to nothing during the fantasy season. But could this year be different with Adam Gase no longer calling the shots and a fresh start? Some believe it.
ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe labeled Parker as the “surprise offseason standout” of the Dolphins.
“He has regularly looked like the Dolphins’ best offensive player this spring, making highlight grabs along the sideline and consistently being a threat in the red zone and in the middle of the field.” He added, “In a surprise, the Dolphins brought back Parker this offseason on a one-year deal with hopes that a fresh start under a new coaching staff and a new quarterback (right now, Ryan Fitzpatrick) that seems to appreciate him more will help.”
With good reason, The Wolf has not fallen for Parker’s yearly offseason hype, as he is not featured on his 2019 Big Board. But will he eventually creep in there if he continues to dominate practice? You better believe it.
