Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Jaylen Waddle

Saturday, December 6, 10:06 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams continues to exceed expectations, and he extended his terrific touchdown streak to six games last week. During that six-week span, he has 11 trips to the end zone and ranks as the overall WR3 in half-PPR leagues. Perhaps the biggest hole in Adams' game has been his catch volume. He hasn't caught more than six passes in a single game this year, and he's averaging a relatively modest 4.3 catches per game. However, he has made up for it with his absurd touchdown efficiency. He's on pace to break his career-best 18 touchdowns in a single season, needing just four more touchdowns over the final five games. Adams has shown that he can co-exist with Puka Nacua in fantasy football, with Adams being the touchdown threat while Nacua is the target and yardage machine. The 32-year-old ranks as the overall WR7 in RotoBaller's fantasy rankings for Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals, and he should be started in all leagues. Arizona has allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, but Adams has shown that he is matchup-proof.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has trailed off a little bit in the last two games, with only three catches each against the Commanders and the Saints. The Dolphins' passing game has been very low-volume in the last few games as they rely heavily on De'Von Achane and the defense to win three straight. This week, Waddle has a good matchup against the Jets, who traded away Sauce Gardner and have allowed four receiver touchdowns in the last six weeks. Even in his down games, Waddle continues to lead the way in targets, so he still has potential upside if the game script calls for passing. He is the WR12 in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, making him a solid WR2 with WR1 upside if the Dolphins have to air it out a little more.
