Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Darren Waller

Wednesday, November 26, 9:49 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins hasn't made a fantasy impact since the first two weeks of the season, and Week 12 wasn't any different. Despite seeing a couple more targets over the last few weeks, Hopkins still finished with only two or three fantasy points in half-PPR formats. Despite the fact that he's going up against a porous defense in the Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving, he still projects outside the top 60. To make matters worse, Rashod Bateman (ankle) is officially set to return, so he'll likely see fewer targets. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for some upside if wide receiver help is needed.

Miami Dolphins veteran tight end Darren Waller made his return in Week 13, hauling in two of three targets for 47 yards in the 21-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Waller came back in Week 13, after suffering a pectoral injury in Week 7 that forced him to the injured reserve. The former Raiders' star was limited to just 47% of the snaps in his return, while backups Julian Hill played 58%, and Greg Dulcich played 37%. Waller faces a New York Jets defense in Week 14, which has allowed the third-most touchdowns to tight ends this season, with seven scores against them. Waller should see an expanded workload in Week 14, and is a low-end TE1 that could be relied on with injuries and bye weeks affecting other tight ends across the league.
