Jaylen Waddle Will Play in Week 2

Friday, September 12, 12:11 PM

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.

Garrett Wilson Set for Busy Afternoon Against Bills

Saturday, September 13, 11:07 AM

Fantasy managers can expect New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson to garner another huge workload in Week 2's meeting with the visiting Buffalo Bills. The Ohio State product displayed excellent chemistry with his quarterback, Justin Fields, during their Week 1 loss to the Steelers. Wilson was the only Jets' pass-catcher to command more than four looks (nine) - pulling in a whopping 41% of Fields' targets. With fellow wideout Josh Reynolds (hamstring) deemed inactive, Fields could further lean on Wilson in a tough outing with the Bills. Despite the less-than-ideal matchup, he'll continue to be a target vacuum, which bodes well for his fantasy value. Perhaps more importantly, Fields looked comfortable in his Jets' debut and should be forced to put up points with Josh Allen on the other sideline. The fourth-year pro is RotoBaller's PPR WR13 in an outing with a 47.5-point over/under.
