From a yardage perspective, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace had his worst game of the season Sunday. His fantasy owners likely don't mind, as Wallace had a touchdown for the third time in four games, helping the Dolphins to a 38-14 win over the Oakland Raiders.
Mike Wallace’s TD salvages fantasy value
The Miami receiver scored Sunday for the third time in four games. We break down the fantasy implications.

Wallace had three catches on four targets for 35 yards in the game, all season lows for the rejuvenated receiver. Teammate Brian Hartline led the way in the receiving game, with six catches for 74 yards. No other Dolphins pass catcher had more than 38 yards.
Fantasy impact: Wallace has firmly played himself into WR2 territory, with 40 fantasy points through four games. He had plenty of targets in the season’s first three games, so the fact that he had only four targets in Sunday’s game isn’t very concerning; the Dolphins never had much to worry about in this game.
Hartline, meanwhile, has improved the last two weeks, with a touchdown in Week 3 and 74 yards in Week 4. Still, he’s not much of a fantasy option, helpful only as a bye-week fill-in when nothing else is out there.
