The Facts:
Wallace was in no mood to chat after being used as a $60 million decoy in Sunday's 23-10 victory over the Browns. Wallace got his wish in drawing Joe Haden as a shadow corner; he promptly was limited to 15 yards on one reception. "I don't want to talk. I don't feel like talking about it," Wallace said. "Ask coach. It's not my game plan."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com's Chris Wesseling notes, the extra attention paid to Wallace freed up Miami receivers Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson for a combined 16 receptions and 191 yards. It's still surprising that Dolphins offensive coordinator Mike Sherman failed to call a screen or a slant to get the ball in his best playmaker's hands. Ryan Tannehill attributed Wallace's meager output to double coverage that caused him to look elsewhere in his progressions. "By them taking him away," Tannehill said, "it really opened up Gibson and Hartline to make plays." It's safe to say that will happen from time to time. It's also safe to say games like this will lend further credence to the notion that Wallace is struggling to get on the same page as Tannehill.
