Who Should I Start? Brandon Aiyuk or Jaylen Waddle

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. The 25-year-old wide receiver suffered a shoulder injury in the first quarter of a Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Rams and sat out Week 3 against the New York Giants as a result. But it's encouraging to see him log a limited practice to start the week, which puts him in line to play on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Both Deebo Samuel (ribs/knee) and Jauan Jennings (shin) both missed practice on Wednesday so if either player, or both, is unable to suit up on Sunday then Aiyuk could be in line for a huge workload.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (concussion) will practice in full on Wednesday, according to head coach Mike McDaniel, and if all goes well, Waddle will clear the league's concussion protocol and return in Week 4 on Sunday for a showdown against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. Barring a setback at practice this week, Waddle looks set to play this weekend after sitting out the record-setting 70-20 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 3. The 24-year-old has so far taken a back seat to All-Pro Tyreek Hill in his two games played so far in 2023, but Waddle can go off at any moment and should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups if he's active against Buffalo.
