Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Dalton Kincaid

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) will suit up for a Week 2 divisional matchup against the New England Patriots on Sunday despite being on the injury report this week, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Waddle suffered a minor shoulder injury in the Week 1 blowout loss to the Indianapolis Colts and put in a couple of limited practices this week heading into Friday. The 26-year-old looks fine after catching four of his five targets for only 30 yards last weekend while playing just 65 percent of the offensive snaps. It was an ugly showing for Waddle and the Dolphins' offense against Indy last weekend, but they'll try to get it turned around quickly against a very beatable Patriots squad. Until we see Miami's offense get it figured out after a disappointing 2024 campaign, Waddle will merely be a WR4/flex option in fantasy lineups.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid took advantage of his opportunities in last week's season-opening win over the Baltimore Ravens. Kincaid hauled in all four of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown - just the fifth score of the third-year man's career. In Week 2, he'll go up against a New York Jets defense that surrendered the league's fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends in a 34-32 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday. That seems auspicious for Kincaid, though it's worth noting that he continues to lag behind Dawson Knox in usage among Bills tight ends. Knox isn't much of a pass-catching threat, but he garnered more snaps than Kincaid last year, and that remained the case on Sunday. It's also a bit of a concern that Kincaid only totaled four targets during a game in which the Bills, who staged a furious comeback, attempted 46 passes. So, while Kincaid did produce like a fantasy TE1 last week, it would be risky to count on that happening again this week if he doesn't start drawing more attention from quarterback Josh Allen.
