Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Jaylen Waddle

Friday, November 14, 10:37 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is looking more and more like the true first option in the Philly passing game after outperforming and out-snapping A.J. Brown against the Packers. Smith has now led his team in receiving yards in five of their nine contests-including the last three in a row-while Brown has done so only once. In Week 11, the Lions travel to Lincoln Financial Field boasting a defense that has not allowed a 100-yard receiver in their last four games. Smith has put up more than 14 points in PPR formats in four of his last five performances, but he'll have his work cut out for him on Sunday night. His target numbers have gotten higher and more consistent after the first four weeks of the season, making him a more reliable WR2 for this week and the foreseeable future.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has been emerging as a regular starter and high-end WR2 since the season-ending injury to Tyreek Hill (knee). He has clearly established himself as the top target in the Dolphins' passing game, and before Sunday, he had posted at least five catches in five of his previous six games. However, in Sunday morning's matchup in Madrid, he was held in check by the Commanders, catching just three passes for 52 yards. He still led he team in targets with seven and receiving yards with 52, but it was a quiet day for the offense aside from De'Von Achane, who had a big day and helped the team claim a 16-13 victory. The Dolphins have their bye week after their Spain trip and return to action in Week 13 against the Saints in what should be a good matchup for Waddle to bounce back.
