Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Dyami Brown

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of the team's pivotal Week 3 divisional matchup with the Bills. The Dolphins' passing game found some rhythm in Week 2, with Waddle catching five of six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown, but his availability now casts doubt on their offensive outlook. Miami will likely need to lean on its aerial attack in what projects to be a high-scoring game, and Waddle's absence would shift more opportunities to Tyreek Hill while elevating Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as deeper league streaming considerations. Fantasy managers should monitor Waddle's status closely, as his presence could make the difference between a WR2 performance and a last-minute scramble for replacements.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter had a tough time getting anything going in the Week 2 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, but Parker Washington and Dyami Brown stepped up for quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Washington led the team with 76 receiving yards, but Brown had a team-best 12 targets and also tied Washington with five receptions. The 25-year-old finished with 57 yards and scored for the first time this season. Thomas and Hunter are going to be Lawrence's primary targets most weeks, but it's notable that Brown has topped 50 receiving yards in each of the first two weeks of the 2025 season. In new head coach Liam Coen's pass-happy offense, Brown could have a consistent role all year, and if anything were to happen to Thomas or Hunter, he could be a weekly flex option in fantasy. Put Brown on your watch list.
