DEVANTE PARKER
The Evolution of DeVante Parker Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker put up big numbers against Seattle, but most impressive was that he did it in a game where he wa...
Season-best effort in loss Parker secured 10 of 12 targets for 110 yards in the Dolphins' 31-23 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Impact The veteran shook off a first-half ankle issue to put together a season-best effort across the board, one that saw him pace the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Parker and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick have continued to demonstrate excellent chemistry in the early going despite the change in offensive schemes, as the 27-year-old now boasts an excellent 82.8 percent catch rate on his 29 targets through four games. Parker will look to carry over Sunday's momentum into a much tougher Week 5 road matchup against the 49ers next Sunday.

Returns to game Parker (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Parker was forced out of the contest for a spell with an ankle injury, but he was able to resume action and will thus continue to head the Dolphins' wideout corps in Week 4.

Suffers ankle injury Parker is questionable to return to Sunday's contest versus the Seahawks due to an ankle injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact After the Dolphins' initial drive of the game, Parker had his right foot examined before going to the locker room. With an official diagnosis known, there's still a chance he makes an appearance at some point Sunday. As long as Parker is away from the field, though, Preston Williams, Isaiah Ford and Jakeem Grant figure to be the top three wide receivers available to Miami's offense.

Leaves Sunday's game Parker suffered an apparent right foot injury during Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Parker made two catches for 14 yards on the Dolphins' first possession, only to visit the blue sideline tent afterward. Beasley noted the training staff looked at Parker's right foot or ankle before the wide receiver made his way to the locker room. If he misses any time Sunday, Preston Williams, Isaiah Ford and Jakeem Grant will be in line for additional targets from Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Pacers receivers in win Parker secured all five targets for 69 yards in the Dolphins' 31-13 win over the Jaguars on Thursday.
Impact Parker had shaken his hamstring concerns by putting in a full practice Wednesday, and he was able to log a normal workload while co-leading the team in receptions and setting the pace in receiving yardage. The 27-year-old has been able to carry over his 2019 rapport with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick into this season despite the limited practice time in a new offense, as he's now brought in 14 of 17 targets for 169 yards and a touchdown through three games. Parker will now have a chance to get his legs some extra rest ahead of a Week 4 home matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Ready for Thursday Parker (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's contest against the Jaguars, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Parker was a full participant in Wednesday's practice after having kicked off the week with back-to-back limited sessions. After aggravating his hamstring injury against the Patriots in Week 1 and playing through the issue versus Buffalo in Week 2, Parker now looks primed to suit up at full health for the first time this season. Parker and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will look to re-establish the lethal connection they showcased down the stretch in 2019.

Listed as limited again The Dolphins listed Parker (hamstring) as a limited participant on their estimated practice report Tuesday, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Impact After aggravating a nagging hamstring in the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Patriots, Parker received clearance to play in Sunday's loss to the Bills and took on a full snap load while finishing with five receptions for 53 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. The Dolphins haven't provided any indication he suffered a setback during that contest, so the team may just be exercising caution with Parker's usage in practice with a Thursday night game on tap in Jacksonville. Miami will release its final Week 3 practice report Wednesday, at which point it will be known whether the wideout carries an injury designation into the game.

Still managing hamstring injury Parker (hamstring) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Parker managed to play through his hamstring issue against the Bills on Sunday, when he hauled in five of eight targets for 53 yards and a score. It looks like the top wideout avoided any serious setbacks, but he will now be facing a shortened week of practices before the Dolphins head to Jacksonville on Thursday. If he's indeed able to go Week 3, a matchup against Jacksonville's exploitable secondary will put Parker in a good position to produce a big fantasy day.

Gets into end zone in loss Parker (hamstring) secured five of eight targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-28 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Impact Parker not only shed his questionable designation to suit up Sunday, but he made an impact with a two-yard touchdown grab to open the scoring for the Dolphins. The veteran ultimately finished third on the team in both receiving yardage and targets, producing a solid fantasy performance after entering the day as a true 50/50 proposition to take the field. Parker appears to have come out of the contest without setbacks, which is certainly encouraging considering Miami will turn right around to take on the Jaguars in a Week 3 Thursday night road showdown.

Suits up Sunday Parker (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Parker was forced out of Week 1's contest against the Patriots after aggravating his hamstring injury and was viewed as a game-time decision as Sunday's contest approached. The Dolphins' top wideout will be in uniform, but it remains to be seen how close to a full workload he'll see against the Bills' rugged defense in Week 2. Also in Miami's wideout mix are Preston Williams, Isaiah Ford and Jakeem Grant.

Officially questionable Parker (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bills, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Impact Coach Brian Flores said earlier Friday that Parker will be a game-time decision after having been limited in practice all week, per Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com. It looks as though Parker has a fair shot to face the Bills, but a final decision on his status for Week 2 likely won't come until Sunday morning. No matter what, it's encouraging to see Parker making a strong push to retake the field after he aggravated his hamstring injury against the Patriots.

Headed for game-time decision Coach Brian Flores said Friday that Parker (hamstring) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bills, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The final call on Parker's availability likely won't be made until Sunday morning. The 27-year-old put together a trio of limited practice sessions this week after aggravating his hamstring injury during Miami's season-opening loss to the Patriots. It looks like Parker has a fair chance to suit up Week 2, though he could end up seeing a snap count even if he's on the field, in which case Preston Williams and Mike Gesicki would be candidates to handle increased target shares against Buffalo.

Practicing for third straight day Parker (hamstring) took part in Friday's practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Impact Parker aggravated his hamstring injury Week 1, but he was able to take part in each of the Dolphins' three practice sessions this week, which bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Bills. Parker's official status for Week 2 will be revealed after Friday's practice comes to a close.

Turns in limited practice Parker (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact According to Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Parker's limited activity consisted mostly of individual work, as the wideout did little in team drills for the second day in a row. Given that Parker was bothered by a left hamstring injury leading up to Week 1 before aggravating the issue in his team's season-opening loss to the Patriots, the Dolphins are understandably acting cautiously with their top receiver's workload in practice. Unless he graduates to full participation in the Dolphins' final practice session Friday, Parker will likely carry an injury designation into the weekend.

Practices in limited fashion Parker (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wedneday's practice, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Impact Parker's ability to begin the week on the practice field in some fashion is evidence that he avoided a major setback after aggravating a left hamstring injury during Miami's season-opening loss. Ensuring Parker makes it through the entire 16-game slate will be a top priority for the Dolphins, so the team could be cautious with his usage in practices over the next few weeks to aid his recovery. If Parker's condition regresses as the week rolls along and he's forced to miss Sunday's game against the Bills, Preston Williams would be called upon to step in as Miami's de facto No. 1 wideout.

Avoids major setback Parker (hamstring) avoided a major setback and could play in Sunday's game versus the Bills, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Parker aggravated an existing hamstring injury during the season opener against the Patriots, and he was initially slated to miss some time. However, the 27-year-old receiver is apparantely doing better than expected. The team's top priority is likely to ensure this injury doesn't linger all season, so he'll be closely monitored during the upcoming practice week. We should have a better grasp on Parker's status when the Dolphins release their official practice report Wednesday.

Beginning week with rehab Coach Brian Flores said Monday that Parker (hamstring) will focus on rehabbing his injury to begin the week, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Parker won't practice Monday and Tuesday, and the Dolphins hope to get a better idea of the severity of his left hamstring injury by midweek. He aggravated the issue Week 1. While a concrete update on Parker's health may not come until Wednesday's first practice report of the week, but it looks as though his status for Week 2 versus Buffalo is legitimately uncertain. If Parker is forced to miss time, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will likely turn to Preston Williams and Mike Gesicki as his top options in the passing game, with Isaiah Ford and Jakeem Grant also handling expanded roles.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Likely to miss time Parker (hamstring) likely will be out for "a bit," according to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com.
Impact Parker left Sunday's 21-11 loss to New England in the third quarter after he aggravated his hamstring injury from training camp. He caught each of his four targets for 47 yards prior to the early exit, but it sounds like his availability is in serious doubt for Week 2 against Buffalo. Isaiah Ford and Jakeem Grant are the top candidates to pick up Parker's snaps, while Preston Williams and Mike Gesicki could also see more targets.
