Who Should I Start? Cedrick Wilson Jr. or Derius Davis

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. played more snaps than Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for the first time this season in Week 11 before the team's bye week. He served as the team's third receiver behind Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington, but he didn't get any targets. He has just two catches for nine yards on the season, but he has been playing more snaps lately, even though his utilization has still been very light. Since the Dolphins don't air it out very much, he doesn't bring much upside, but it is worth noting that he seems to be moving up the depth chart. Wilson is only the WR127 in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings, so he can be left on the waiver wire for now, but keep an eye on Wilson's usage in the coming weeks, since he could be moving onto the radar for deep league waivers if he keeps getting more snaps.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Derius Davis could find himself with an expanded role in a Wild Card Round matchup against the Houston Texans on Saturday. Davis went on a solid hot streak near the end of the season, scoring touchdowns in Weeks 16 and 17. With Joshua Palmer (foot) ruled out and Quentin Johnston (thigh/illness) questionable, Davis could be needed to work alongside Ladd McConkey and D.J. Chark. Davis hasn't seen more than 37% of the team's offensive snaps in any game this season, and he averaged somewhere around 16%, so even with the injuries ahead of him, he shouldn't be expected to take on an enormous role. Still, he could be a value pick in playoff fantasy contests who happens to find himself in the end zone.
