BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR1
ANALYSIS: Jaylen Waddle is starting to sizzle. The former first-round pick has either a touchdown or 100 receiving yards in over half of his past seven games. He's only dipped below 10 PPR fantasy points twice in that stretch. He also dropped 114 yards on the best defense against fantasy football wideouts last week.
Now, Waddle gets to match up against the second-worst pass defense in that metric, the Washington Commanders. That unit has allowed the most touchdowns to wideouts (18) and five receivers have scored on Washington in the past three weeks. It's a perfect setup for Waddle, Tyreek Hill, and their quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa.
There's some concern for wet conditions in Washington, as you can see in the post above. According to meteorologists, most of the rain should clear before kickoff, but there could be some spotty showers throughout the game. Winds won't be an issue.
Fire up Waddle as a WR1 (many managers may even have a better top option on their roster) and watch the Miami offense hum along against one of the worst defenses in the NFL.
