BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: FLEX
ANALYSIS: It's been a mercurial season for Jaylen Waddle and the Dolphins this year, and if you drafted Waddle in the third or fourth round this season, you're probably fed up with his lack of high-end production.
Waddle caught three of six targets last week for 57 yards and had one rushing attempt, too. While the fantasy points have been scarce, Waddle is still very much involved in this offense, playing 89% of the snaps and leading the team in targets against the Rams.
The entire Miami offense struggled last week. Perhaps they are just never going to be who we wanted them to be for fantasy this season, but a matchup with the Raiders could be just what they needed, too.

Las Vegas has the 19th-ranked pass defense and they have been trending in the wrong direction. They are starting to talk as if they have given up on their coach and are already pretty much eliminated from playoff contention. If Miami was ever going to get back on the right track, it could be this week.
If you have safer options, then by all means, put Waddle on your bench. But in deeper formats, I would still consider him as a FLEX option this week.
