Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Jaylen Waddle

Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reported on Wednesday that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback spoke highly of Jaylen Warren, saying that "We might have to keep giving (Warren) him more opportunities in the pass game, because every time he touches it, something good happens." Warren has always been a solid fantasy asset in the passing game in his career, with 133 receptions in four NFL seasons; however, last Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, he was very productive through the air, hauling in all four of his targets for 86 yards, for a total of 134 all-purpose yards on 18 touches (14 on the ground and four through the air), This is an excellent sign for Warren fantasy owners, as rookie third round pick, Kaleb Johnson, does not appear to be getting any opportunities of the backfield. His only other competition for opportunities is Kenneth Gainwell, who went from a 54% snap share in Week 1 to a 42% snap share in Week 2. Warren should be considered a solid RB2 heading into Week 3 against the New England Patriots.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) was officially listed as questionable after he was limited in practice on Tuesday. He has been on and off the injury report with his shoulder issue all season, and it's possible the short week before Thursday's game is making it challenging for him to get his normal workload. In Week 1, Waddle had just four catches for 30 yards, but he and the whole Dolphins' offense looked better in Week 2, when Waddle had five catches for 68 yards and a touchdown against the Patriots. Waddle will be a fringy flex or WR4 play if he does give it a go despite his injury designation. He's the WR38 this week in RotoBaller's rankings and can be used if needed, although there are many better options, especially if his workload isn't clear.
