Miami Dolphins receiver DeVante Parker enters the 2017 season as a tough player to predict when it comes to production. Parker has always possessed elite talent and a knack for making big plays but his consistency and injuries have always been questions as a pro.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 2: DeVante Parker
Parker was not able to show his talents in Week 1 due to the Hurricane, but here is why he should be in your lineup in Week 2.

Despite the question marks, Parker makes an intriguing WR3/flex play in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Los Angeles possesses a talented secondary but is not the greatest at stopping the run where the Dolphins excel. If Miami can control the ball on the ground and Jay Cutler does not force the ball, Parker could see some deep 1v1 opportunities off of play action.
Fantasy Impact: Until Parker puts together a full season of consistent production he will remain a boom-or-bust fantasy player. The Dolphins had an extra week to watch film on the Chargers but they also didn’t get a chance to play in Week 1. They may be a bit rusty to start the game but that will not stop Jay Cutler from looking Parker’s way on deep shots. Cutler will open this offense up in a different way than Ryan Tannehill would and that will will ultimately benefit Parker. He is a solid flex play in Week 2.
Recommendation: Start
