Who Should I Start? Darren Waller or CeeDee Lamb

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller's pectoral injury is not season-ending, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Waller suffered a pectoral injury in the Week 7 loss to the Cleveland Browns and was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, but he should be able to make it back this season. However, the 33-year-old veteran will need to miss at least four games and will not be eligible to return for Miami until Week 13. In the meantime, the team will have to make due with a combination of Julian Hill (ankle), Tanner Conner, and Greg Dulcich at the position in an offense that already lost star receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) for the year. Fantasy managers should be avoiding Miami's TE situation until Waller can return. Waller, who came out of retirement after not playing at all in 2024, got a late start in 2025 due to another injury, but he scored four touchdowns in his first three games before getting injured in Week 7.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb turned in another solid performance in Week 8 against a tough Denver defense, hauling in seven of 10 targets for 74 yards. Even in a difficult matchup, Lamb continued to operate as Dak Prescott's clear top option, maintaining his strong target share. The Cowboys now face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9, a defense that ranks 10th in passing yards allowed per game (234.9). This matchup presents an opportunity for the Dallas passing attack to find more success through the air. Lamb has proven to be one of the most reliable fantasy wideouts when healthy.Fantasy managers should continue to view Lamb as a high-end WR1 heading into Week 9. RotoBaller currently ranks him as the No. 4 wide receiver for the week.
