Jaylen Waddle Riding Wave of Momentum

Friday, September 25, 10:15 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle got off to a slow start with his new team, but bounced back in a big way in Week 2. Waddle finished the Broncos' win over the Jacksonville Jaguars with 10 receptions for 136 yards, powering the Denver passing game to a resurgent effort. This week, Waddle is RotoBaller's 14th-ranked wide receiver and is projected to score 12 fantasy points as the Broncos face the Los Angeles Rams in a non-conference battle. The Rams allowed three different San Francisco 49ers wide receivers to find the end zone in Week 1 before Los Angeles shut down Jameis Winston en route to their first win of the season in Week 2.

Jameson Williams a Risky Boom/Bust Wide Receiver Option in Week 3

Friday, September 25, 4:22 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has gotten off to a slow start to the 2026 season, recording six catches for 78 yards on 13 targets across his first two games played. With Lions tight end Sam LaPorta now healthy after missing the second half of the 2025 season with a back injury, Williams appears to be the number three option in his team's passing game behind LaPorta and star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown. In Week 3, Williams and the Lions will host the New York Jets. The Jets have fielded a tough pass defense so far this year, ranking second in the NFL in both total passing yards (285) and yards per pass attempt (4.7) allowed. With Williams' ability to make plays down the field and after the catch, he still carries explosive upside. However, fantasy managers must factor in that his bust potential in his current role is high as well. Heading into Week 3, Williams profiles as a high-ceiling, low-floor WR2/3 option against the Jets.
