BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR1/2
ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has been a little banged up all season, but with Miami coming off a bye this week, he should be as close to 100% as he's been this season.
Waddle's most recent performance was a bit of a letdown as he had just three catches for 42 yards against the Chiefs in Germany in Week 9. That was his fewest receptions and second-fewest receiving yards of the year.
The needle should be looking up this week though as the Dolphins take on the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The Raiders defense has done a surprisingly good job against wide receivers, allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position, but Vegas hasn't had to deal with a 1-2 punch like Waddle and Tyreek Hill.
While Waddle's numbers are a little down this year, he's found the end zone in three of the past five games and is averaging 65.3 receiving yards per game this year.
Fantasy managers should view Jaylen Waddle as a player on the WR1/WR2 borderline this week. He hasn't been as explosive as he was in 2022, which lowers his ceiling a bit, but he's still an extremely talented wide receiver who should be started in all formats.
