Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Chris Olave

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has enjoyed a fantastic bounce-back season in 2025, leading the team with 41 catches for 586 yards and four touchdowns in nine games. Waddle had been in plenty of trade rumors with the current state of the Dolphins, but the team is committed to their 26-year-old star wideout and views him as a piece of their future. Waddle has emerged as the no-doubt WR1 after Tyreek Hill (knee) went down in Week 3, and has been among the most productive wideouts in the league. Waddle ranks as WR13 in PPR points since Week 4, and he should continue to return borderline WR1 fantasy production as one of the most explosive players in the league and the focal point of head coach Mike McDaniel's passing attack.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave hauled in three of four targets for 57 yards in the Week 9 loss to the Rams. His four targets marked a season low, though his 14.25 yards per target were a season high. Olave had built strong chemistry with Spencer Rattler before the second-year quarterback was benched, and with Tyler Shough now at the helm, the two will be forced to find their rhythm quickly. Olave ranked second in the league in targets from Weeks 1-8 under Rattler, making him the clear focal point of the passing game. With Rashid Shaheed, who saw nine targets in Week 9, being traded to the Seahawks, Olave is expected to assume an even larger role, assuming he isn't moved before the trade deadline as well. The Saints will visit the Panthers in Week 10, where Olave should be treated as a WR2 with upside.
