Miami Dolphins DFS Spin
The NFL’s investigation into the Dolphins handling of QB Tua Tagovailoa’s Week 16 concussion concluded there were no violations of the concussion protocol last week. The league found the Dolphins had no violations of the concussion protocol, with Tua not showing or reporting symptoms until after Miami’s Christmas Day game with the Packers. Tua has had two concussions and a neck injury but only missed two games this season, raising questions about the Dolphins’ training staff. Teddy Bridgewater will start Week 17 vs the Patriots and could close out the season for Miami if Tua goes on IR.
New England Patriots DFS Spin
Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) is questionable for New England’s Week 17 game against Miami. Three in a row and he can go for one more in Week 18. Stevenson has played off this ankle for the last two weeks and looked no worse for the wear. He got in three limited sessions this week, as he did last week. Damien Harris’ return threatens him a little bit, but he probably remains a low-end RB1 against the Dolphins in Week 17.
