The injury news surrounding the Miami Dolphins' offense in Week 15 has changed drastically. Early Sunday morning DeVante Parker seemed likely to play. But now Parker, Jakeem Grant and Mike Gesicki are all expected to miss Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.

Suddenly the de facto No. 1 option in the receiving game, Lynn Bowden's fantasy outlook just received a massive boost, making him one of the top fantasy football sleepers for Week 15.

Available on the waiver wire in 74% of Yahoo! fantasy football leagues while offering eligibility at both RB and WR, Bowden is now a terrific option to slot into your starting lineup at either spot if you're in need of some help in your fantasy football playoff matchup.

With Parker, Grant and Gesicki all getting banged up last week, Bowden led Miami pass-catchers in snaps (71% of the team's total). He also tied for the team-high in targets (9) and led the offense in both receptions (7) and receiving yards (82).

Those were already great numbers, and those came with Gesicki playing over 50% of the snaps and Parker and Grant each playing over 30%.

Expect another high-volume game for Bowden, leaving him offering strong value with an especially high floor in PPR leagues.
