Who Should I Start? DK Metcalf or Jaylen Waddle

Saturday, December 13, 12:18 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf had an excellent showing in Week 14, hauling in seven of 12 targets for a season-high 148 yards in a win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was listed on the injury report earlier this week and spent a night in the hospital for stomach pain, but appears to be a full-go for Monday Night Football against the Miami Dolphins. Though Miami's defense is surging, it has still allowed three different wideouts to finish as top-24 fantasy options over its past four games. The weather in Pittsburgh will be worth monitoring, as cold temperatures and strong winds could limit Metcalf's opportunities downfield. Still, the 28-year-old should remain a focal point of the Steelers' offense and profiles as a low-end WR2 for fantasy managers in Week 15.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle will try to help the Dolphins secure their fifth straight win this Monday when they visit the Steelers. While the Dolphins have had a very low-volume passing attack in recent weeks, Waddle has remained a solid starting option in most formats because he is clearly the top option in the offense. Waddle has at least three catches and at least six targets in six straight games with three touchdowns and an average of 67.8 yards per game during that span. He had five catches for 50 yards and a touchdown last week against the Jets, and he will be in a solid matchup against the Steelers, who rank in the top 10 in fantasy points allowed to receivers this season. The Steelers have allowed 12 receiver touchdowns in 13 games, so Waddle has good potential for another productive week if he continues to get so many targets. In RotoBaller's Week 15 rankings, Waddle is the No. 11 WR, making him a low-end WR1 or a high-end WR2 in standard-sized leagues. He should be started in almost all formats since his production has been so reliably consistent.
