Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Jaylen Waddle

Friday, October 31, 5:05 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (heel, hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Washington Commanders after hurting his hamstring in Friday's practice, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Kupp was initially dealing with just a heel injury, but he tweaked his hamstring in practice on Friday, which puts his status for Sunday night in question. The 32-year-old was listed as a full participant in practice to begin the Week on Friday, before being downgraded to limited on Thursday, and missing practice altogether on Friday. The veteran wideout will be evaluated during a pregame workout to determine his availability for Sunday Night Football against Washington. If he's unable to play, rookie Tory Horton would see an increase in routes as Seattle's WR2.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle caught six of his nine targets for 82 yards during Thursday's Week 9 loss against the Baltimore Ravens. Waddle has quietly been quite productive despite Miami's overall offensive struggles this year. In the five games since Tyreek Hill was placed on injured reserve, he is averaging 4.8 catches, 80.2 receiving yards, and 0.4 touchdowns. He ranks as the overall WR7 in PPR leagues so far, albeit with at least one more game played than most of his fellow receivers. On a points per game basis, he ranks 23rd. Managers should continue to trust Waddle as a solid WR2 option heading into a potentially negative game script scenario against the Buffalo Bills.
