The Miami Dolphins were concerned they might be short at wide receiver in Week 15 as both DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson were dealing with concussions. However, as of Saturday evening, the pair were cleared and are expected to start against the New York Giants.
That’s bad news for the Giants, who waived veteran cornerback Janoris Jenkins earlier this week and will now have to rely on sophomore cornerback Sam Beal and rookie cornerback DeAndre Baker to slow down Miami’s talented trio (which includes Allen Hurns).
Parker is having a career year and will likely be strongly considered as an All-Pro. In 13 games this season, he has hauled in 55 receptions for 882 yards and six touchdowns.
Wilson, meanwhile, has not been nearly as productive, but has still managed to haul in 26 receptions for 154 yards and one touchdown.
The odds tip slightly in Miami’s favor given the clear matchup advantages they now have offensively.
