DeVante Parker-WR-Miami Dolphins (34.8%)

It’s been a long road for Dolphins rookie DeVante Parker since he was drafted #14 overall by Miami and held up that “aqua” jersey with Commissioner Roger Goodell. Parker was hampered early in the season by a foot injury and unable to take part of most of training camp. As a result of his layoff and the many options Miami had at WR his season started slow, but has picked up speed lately.

Parker has at least 60 yards in three of his last four games and has a pair of touchdowns during that time as well. He hauled in four passes for 87 yards last week against the Chargers and is quickly becoming the Miami deep threat the Dolphins were hoping for when they drafted him.

Parker will likely get a long look over the last two weeks of this season as Miami tries to see what they have in him for the future. This week, he and the Dolphins visit the Luck-less Indianapolis Colts before finishing the season with the Patriots who may have nothing to play for. Expect Parker to finish the season strong and build some momentum for next year.
