Dolphins rookie WR DeVante Parker in line for second career start

DAVIE, Fla. -- Outside of quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, one of the hottest rookies on offense in the NFL the past two weeks plays for the Miami Dolphins.

Receiver DeVante Parker is finally healthy and showing why he was taken by Miami with the No. 14 overall pick. He has seven receptions for 143 yards and two touchdowns in his past two games. He’s also averaging 20.4 yards per reception over that span and is becoming Miami’s big-play threat offensively.

Summer foot surgery set Parker back early in the season where he missed most of training camp and got off to a slow start in the regular season.
